Wang Chunyuan

Wang Chunyuan (1869-1923) was named Xingquan and Shaoxi. In his later years, he signed his own office in Liutang. His ancestral home was Xiamen, and he was born in Anping, Tainan. Father Wang wengniu, mother Wu Feng.

In 1895, after the defeat of the Sino Japanese war in 1895, Wang Chunyuan, as a member of Taiwan, was preparing for the Jinshi examination in the capital. He was the first one to take part in the objection. Dr. Yan Yanwen, the author of the wind and cloud in Taiwan, called him "the first person to submit a letter by bus"; in addition, Wang Chunyuan was just the last Jinshi in Taiwan history. In 1886, Tang Jingsong, a former governor of Taiwan, was elected to Haidong academy to study with poets Qiu Fengjia and Xu Nanying (the father of Xu Dishan, a well-known modern writer) and join Haidong poetry club to write poems on wine. He was only 16 years old that year. In 1888, he and his patriotic poet Qiu Fengjia went to Fuzhou to join the high school. In the spring of 1895, 25-year-old Wang Chunyuan went to Beijing for the examination. In his prime, he believes that with his own strength, the position of Jinshi is easily available. However, on April 17, Li Hongzhang, the Plenipotentiary of the Qing Dynasty, signed the Treaty of Shimonoseki in Chunfan tower, Shimonoseki, Japan. The whole country was shocked by the failure of the Second World War, and the people who took the exam in Beijing were indignant. On April 28, Wang Chunyuan, Luo Xiuhui, and Huang zongding, together with Taiwan Jinshi ye tiayan, who was the head of the household department, and Li Qingqi, a scholar of the Hanlin academy, jointly wrote to the duchayuan, stressing that Taiwan is the gateway to the southeast. "If there is no Taiwan, it is not special. The seven coastal provinces are in danger, and the capital and the capital can not be high pillow." Ceding the island, the Taiwanese people "are as miserable as the loss of a loving mother of a child"; "the Taiwanese people will inevitably die, but there is a hidden pain in their death.". They issued a voice of 4 million Taiwan people vowing to fight against Japan and defend their country: "it's better to die as a righteous people than to be born as a captive.". Kang Youwei, the leader of the reformists, was shocked by this book. In his chronicle of Mr. Kang Nanhai, he wrote that Taiwan's righteous act of asking for orders with tears made him see that "morale is available, that is, to unite the people of the 18 provinces at the Songzhu nunnery meeting, to write a Book of ten thousand words in one day and two nights, and to ask for refusal, reform, and capital relocation." This is the famous "bus to book" incident. Because of Wang Chunyuan's special role at a historical juncture, Dr. Yan Yanwen, the author of Taiwan trilogy, called him the first person to write on the bus. Wang Chunyuan was a Jinshi in 1898. After the Qing government ceded Taiwan, they abandoned their families and went to Taiwan. He successively presided over Yichun, Dayu, Anren, Anyi and other counties. After the revolution of 1911, he settled in Gulangyu. He is the author of Liutang poetry anthology.
