Chen Zilong's ancestors have been farming for generations, and his father Chen has heard of it, and he is famous for his literary name in Jiangnan, and he is a scholar in the forty-seventh year of Wanli.
Chen Zilong entered school at the age of six, diligently governed the history of the scriptures, and vigorously attacked the chapters and sentences. In the third year of the Apocalypse (1623), at the age of sixteen, he took the boy's test and ranked second. At that time, a large number of courtiers were cut to civilian positions or arrested and imprisoned for opposing Wei Zhongxian. Chen Suo's illness was at home, and every time he read the newspaper, he sighed and taught Chen Zilong to analyze evil and distinguish between right and wrong. In the fifth year of the Apocalypse (1625), he successively became friends with Xia Yunyi, Xu Fuyuan, Zhou Lixun, Song Zhengbi and some literati and scholars in Suzhou, Jiaxing and other prefectures, studied academics and discussed current affairs, and later became the backbone of the Jiangnan Party and Social Movement in the Ming Dynasty. In the sixth year of the Apocalypse (1626), he was a student member of Songjiang Prefecture. His father died of illness, kept filial piety at home, closed his door, read a lot of books, and was especially devoted to ancient Chinese words.
In the spring of Chongzhen's seventh year, he took the exam again, so the deputy supervisor admitted Wen Tiren, Wen Tiren extremely rejected the members of the Restoration Society, and the number of members admitted to the Restoration Society decreased sharply this year, and Chen Zilong naturally fell off the list. Hit by this heavy blow, Chen Zilong was almost disheartened, went home and closed his door, "devoted himself to learning", and wrote more than 100 chapters of ancient poetry. Then, he read and wrote in Songjiang South Garden, and became "Belong to the Yutang Collection" and "Pinglutang Collection".
Chongzhen ten years, the third time to the north, and Xia Yunyi in the same middle jinshi, both in the C branch (the third class), as a foreign official. Chen Zilong was elected as the manager of Huizhou Mansion in Guangdong, but he did not arrive and heard that his stepmother had died, so he went home for funeral.
In the summer of the eleventh year of Chongzhen (1638), Chen Zilong took the title of "The learning of a gentleman is more valuable than knowing the time; The urgency of the time, the fear of the future", together with Xu Fuyuan, took the Ming Dynasty's famous ministers "have related to world affairs and national affairs" articles, "pick up their elites", "and side to help the profound", "aim to collect the truth", compiled into the "Emperor Ming Jing Shiwen Compilation", where five hundred and four volumes, and four volumes of supplements. The selected essays in the book are based on the principles of the Meiji Rebellion, the preservation of similarities and differences, the detailed military, and the emphasis on the economy, and the content is very rich, including politics, military, enlistment, finance and economics, farmland, water conservancy, school culture, rules and regulations, etc., and according to the many practical problems encountered at that time, some of the articles are annotated to express the editor's political proposition. The motive and purpose of Chen Zilong and others in editing this book was to "prepare the rules of the generation and learn the teachings of the future", in an attempt to use their own efforts to reverse the bad trend of "vulgar Confucianism is ancient rather than modern, and the glory is not real" and is not practical. It is a book that "summarizes the 200 years of ruling experience of the Ming Dynasty from historical reality, and attempts to draw lessons from it, so as to change the current reality and apply it to the world." The editing and publication of this book was a strict challenge to the style of writing and learning at that time, and it also played a pioneering role in the later efforts of Huang Zongxi, Gu Yanwu and others to emphasize the practical study of the world."
Subsequently, Chen Zilong sorted out Xu Guangqi's agricultural masterpiece "The Complete Book of Agricultural Administration". Xu Guangqi has the ambition of the world, "What he has learned in his life is erudite to heaven and man, and he is mainly practical." As for farming, I pay special attention to it. It is the source of the people's education and the foundation of the country's prosperity." Chen Zilong has always admired Xu Guangqi's personality and learning, and visited him in Beijing in his early years to "ask about the affairs of the world". After Xu Guangqi passed away, Chen Zilong obtained dozens of drafts of the "Book of Agriculture" from his second grandson Xu Erjue, and copied them day and night. In the twelfth year of Chongzhen (1639), "I was so angry that the foundation of enriching the country and turning the people was, so I deleted its complexity and made up for its shortcomings." "About three-tenths of the deletions and two-tenths of the additions" became 60 volumes of the "Complete Book of Agricultural Administration". He also wrote "Ordinary Cases", which summarized the basic purpose, main content, ideological origins and unique views of Xu Guangqi. At the same time, he expressed his own social and economic views. The compilation of the Huangming Jingshiwen and the collation of the Agricultural Administration were the two most important contributions of Chen Zilong in his life. It can also be seen from this that he attaches great importance to the "economic world", that is, practical social and economic issues, especially agricultural production.
Since then, Chen Zilong once "wanted to be a eunuch", and at home "widened his house, showing that he had no ambition in all directions". However, in the face of the great peasant uprising at the end of the Ming Dynasty and the advance of the Qing army, in order to save the national fortunes of the Ming Dynasty, in the end
Chen Zilong's compilation of "Ming Jing Shiwen Compilation" still gave up his personal plan and was in Chongzhen for thirteen years
In June (164o), he was appointed as the manager of Shaoxing Prefecture in Zhejiang, and soon began to act as the governor of Zhuji. On the day of the official, due to the floods in his jurisdiction for many years, the hungry people swarmed, in order to maintain the stability of the local society, he used both rigidity and softness, suppressed and appeased, while "vigorously practicing the protection of the armor, setting up the law of each other, and applying the order of joint sitting" to quell the riots of the hungry people; On the one hand, he provided relief to the hungry, set up a porridge factory, set up a pharmacy, supported the elderly and children, treated the sick and sick, collected the dead bones, and saved more than 100,000 people. In May of the fifteenth year (1642), under the control of Dong Xiangheng, the governor of Zhejiang, Chen Zilong supervised more than 1,000 pacesetters to Suichang County, Zhejiang, and actively participated in the suppression of the capitals of Zhejiang, Jiangxi, and Fujian, and quelled the mountain people's rebellion caused by Qiu Lingxiao, a native of Tingzhou, Fujian, who had been active at the junction of the three provinces for many years. In the spring of the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, Li Zicheng's rebel army broke Chengde, and Nanjing was shaken. He was appointed by Dong Xiangheng to be responsible for planning armaments, building customs and platforms in Yuhang and other places, renovating cities, casting cannons and storing nitro, and supervising the transportation of military rations into Nanjing. At the beginning of the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, Chen Zilong was awarded the military department for his meritorious contribution to the rebellion of Xu Du, who appeased all the students in Dongyang County, Zhejiang. However, after Xu Du surrendered, because Zuo Guangxian, the governor of Zhejiang, ignored Chen Zilong's repeated requests, violated the original promise that as long as Xu Du surrendered by himself, "he should wait to be immortal", and killed Xu Du and more than 60 people after Xu Du led the people out of the mountain to surrender. In this regard, Chen Zilong was very dissatisfied; Hearing that my grandmother was very ill, she did not go to work, and returned to China in March.
After the Qing soldiers entered the customs, they contacted the various ministries to revolt, and later saw that things could not be done, and threw themselves into the water to be martyred.
