Integrity culture 丨 Xu Duan Qinglian River

A group of outstanding water conservancy experts emerged in ancient China. Xu Duan (1754-1812) was one of them. From the ninth year of Jiaqing (1804), he admitted the Governor of Donghe River to the East River to the seventeenth year (1812). "Draft of the Qing Dynasty" commented on him so: "Duanzhi Nanhe seven years, familiar with work. Reed willow deposit, how much it is measured. It is also a true portrayal of him for his integrity and cleanliness.

Xu Duan's father Xu Zhenjia, during the Qianlong period, served as Zhixian County in Qinghe, Jiangsu. Xu Duan went to office with his father and was able to contact the river from an early age. The situation of the Yellow River during this period has become increasingly deteriorated, the default is frequent, the custody of the canal has become increasingly serious, affecting the safety of transportation, and the task of governance is quite heavy. Xu Duan inspected the river embankment with his father, and when he encountered the military officials on the river embankment, he often asked the river to diverse the method of guidance, which laid the foundation for Xu Duan's future riverside career.

In the nine years of Jiaqing, Xu Duan served as the Governor of Donghe River, and began his career in his river governance. The Qing Dynasty set up the Governor of Donghe, South River, and Beihe Sanhe, and was responsible for handling the governance of related water systems such as the Yellow River and Canal to ensure the smooth transportation of transportation. Donghe involves the river in Henan and Shandong. In the winter, due to the shallow water, the boat could not pass smoothly. The successful driving guarantees the smoothness and safety of transportation, and he has won the court's award.

During the Qianjia period, the lower reaches of the lower reaches of the Yellow River was increasingly talked about. The stagnation was high, and the claim of dredging the Yellow River into the sea tail was proposed.

Xu Duan has not only achieved achievements in the practice of rivers, but also is good at summarizing. He compiled the "Double Moist" and "Entrusters of Lan Lan", which can be called the "Double 璧" of the technical literature of the Qing Dynasty in the Qing Dynasty. These two monographs on river management mainly brought together the daily repair, flood protection and emergency rescue of the Yellow River, and had high practical value at the time. After the birth of the two books, the influence was extensive. In the later generations, there were many published publishing.

Xu Duan's ruling river must always go to the front line to deal with it. From the self -preface of "The Ministry of Entry Lan", it can also be seen that Xu Duanqin's self -requirement: "He is heavy, he is self -reliance, and every time he can report it, the night is fearful ... Over the years, I am reluctant. "

During the period of Xu Duan's life, the Yellow River decided frequently, and the Yellow River blocked project increased, and the cost of use was very good. At that time, a proverb was popular: "The Yellow River Development, Golden Battle." After the Yellow River, the court allocated a lot of rescue funds. In addition to the daily age of repair, river workers increased, and some river officials received bribes in material procurement; The river governance project has been allocated to receive false reports and is full of private pockets; there are also various frauds of private business, and the river politics is increasingly corrupt, and the greedy wind prevails.

In this case, the court had to change the river officer like a horse lamp and increased the punishment of corrupt officials. In only 25 years in Jiaqing, Governor Nanhe changed his 12, and Governor Donghe changed 18. In stark contrast to the formation, Xu Duan served as the Governor of Donghe River from Jiaqing in the nine years of Jiaqing. He died of illness in the governor of Nanhe, and has been engaged in the cause of governing the Yellow River and Canal, indicating that he has a clean and self -defeating morality and obtained the court of the court. Trust.

Facing the huge amount of riverside management, Xu Duan can never "obtain", adhere to the integrity of integrity, and noble product. He said in the "The Minister of Lana": "There are many large -scale affairs, and he will be able to make it together to make it possible to make a group, clean himself, and sincerely." We must make a group force, and we must do the best to ensure that the funds for rivers are used for the project. He also mentioned that "it is impartial and restrained the family", which emphasizes that in the handling of river management duties, we must be fair and decent, but also restrict your family, and do not follow the flow.

Xu Duan was poor in his life. According to records, Xu Duan served as the governor of the river for many years. After his death, he was "poor". He had to rely on the help of his friends to handle the funeral. He did not leave anything to his family. This is confirmed with Xu Duan's poem. He said in "Bingshen Yuan Day": "Children blame me different dust, I can't get back the profit in inch. Do you know that poor and my own life, I can break my hands." This poem tells his son blame him. Like some river officials in this period, in this fat difference, "entering the country with the customs", so that his family lives better, and even from the perspective of his son, he hopes that his father can leave something for future generations. In the face of his son's strangeness, Xu Duan's answer is that he would rather be poor, and he must also adhere to the spiritual realm of self -denial and integrity. He uses his own words to walk, and educate his family to adhere to the bottom line of integrity. He adheres to official morals.
