Historical figures
Yang Huizhi was the sculptor of the Arhat statues at Baosheng Temple and a renowned master of sculpture during the Tang Dynasty.
Wang Tao (1828–1897) was a renowned modern political commentator, journalist, and literary figure. Originally named Wang Libin, he adopted the courtesy name Zijiu in his youth, later changing it to Lanqing. After entering the county school, he took the name Wang Han, with the courtesy name Laijin; subsequently, he renamed himself Wang Tao, with the courtesy name Zhongqian, also using the pseudonyms Zipian and Ziquan. He styled himself Tiannan Dunshou and Taoyuan Laomin, among others, and was a native of Fuli in Yuanhe, Qing dynasty. At the age of eighteen, he entered the county school with top honors; after failing the provincial examination at nineteen, he opened a private tutoring school in Jinxi Town to teach students.
Lu Guimeng (c. 830–881), courtesy name Luwang, was a renowned literary figure and agronomist of the Tang dynasty. Born into a distinguished family, he served as an official in the administrations of Huzhou and Suzhou. Frustrated by his career’s lack of advancement, he retired to Fuli in Songjiang (present-day Luzhi Town), where he led a life devoted to both farming and scholarly pursuits. In Luzhi, he not only left behind a substantial body of poetry and prose but also immersed himself in agricultural practice, authoring “Laisi Jing,” the first specialized treatise on farming implements in Chinese history, which exerted a profound influence on subsequent generations of agricultural scholarship.
Ye Shengtao (1894–1988), born Ye Shaoyun, was a native of Suzhou, Jiangsu Province. He was a renowned modern Chinese educator, writer, literary publisher, and social activist. For nearly five years (1917–1922), he taught at the Fifth Higher Primary School of Wuxian County, located in the ancient town of Luzhi in Suzhou—now the Ye Shengtao Memorial Hall. He regarded this period as “the true beginning of both his educational and creative careers,” and affectionately referred to Luzhi as his “second hometown.”
Shen Baihan (1883–1953), whose given name was Changwei, styled himself Baihan and went by the art names Xuechen and Suyuan. A native of Luzhi Town in Wuxian County, Jiangsu Province, he was a prominent member of the Tongmenghui and an esteemed educator of modern times. Born into a distinguished local scholarly family with extensive holdings, his clan was so influential that the town was once known as “Shen’s Half-Town.”
