介绍
Liu Chenweng: A Resilient Scholar

Liu Chenweng, a native of Luling (present-day Ji'an, Jiangxi), lost his father at a young age and was born into poverty. Despite these challenges, Liu was determined to pursue an education. In 1260, he arrived in Lin'an (present-day Hangzhou) where he enrolled as a student in the Imperial Academy.

In 1262, during the Ming Dynasty's Emperor Lizong's reign, Liu participated in the imperial examination and submitted a strategic solution. Unfortunately, his answer provoked the anger of Jia Sidao, a powerful minister, who resulted him being graded as a third-class scholar. He was also awarded the infamous title of "the Straightened Bone" because of his thin body structure and rigid thinking.

Undeterred by this setback, Liu sought employment as a lecturer at Ganxian Lianxi Academy. From 1265 to 1267, Liu taught at Lin'an Prefectural School. Due to his knowledge and hard work, Liu was appointed as an official in the Tang (Jiangxi) and Taihe (Anhui) areas from 1267 to 1274.

In May 1275, Chen Yizhong, the prime minister of the Southern Song Dynasty recommended Liu Chenweng to be the supervisor of the Imperial Library. However, Liu declined the offer. By October of that year, Liu was appointed as a professor at the Imperial Academy. It was during this time that the Mongol Empire's army threatened to attack Lin'an. Liu, along with other scholars, joined hands and proposed a peace treaty, which would ensure the safety of the city. Fortunately, the treaty was signed, and Liu's quick thinking and dedication to his people had saved Lin'an.

In conclusion, Liu Chenweng's story is a testament to the human spirit of perseverance and resilience. Liu had to overcome personal and societal obstacles to achieve his dream of becoming a scholar. He was known to be a man of high moral character, and his selflessness was evident throughout his career. Liu will forever be remembered by history as a straightened-boned scholar who overcame adversity and left a lasting impact on society.辰翁一生著作颇丰,所写的诗词、文章、书信、笔记等均具有较高的文学价值和历史价值。他的代表作品有《朝天子·和文天祥》和《和文天祥贬所宾壁》等长篇诗篇。此外,他也有许多名篇佳作,如《梁甫吟》、《谒岳阳楼记》、《题周方舟》等。辰翁的诗文风格清新自然,构思精巧,表达深刻,对后世影响深远,被誉为“江西学派”代表人物之一。
