Lushan Silk History Officer
Yuan Dexiu, a native of Henan (Luoyang, Henan) in the Tang Dynasty. Lushan County Sheriff. He was a kind and loving man. We, the people of Lushan, produce Silk, silk reeling. When the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty came to Lushan for a visit, he asked the magistrate of Yuandexiu to deliver more silk and beautiful women to sing. Yuan Dexiu County Magistrate knows the people are suffering. Didn’t have the heart to raise taxes on the farmers. He took the lute and the lute player and played for the emperor. It’s about the suffering of the people. While other bureaucrats fawned over the emperor and raised taxes despite the suffering of the people, won sang about the suffering of the people at the risk of being beheaded, moved the wise emperor and reduced the tax revenue of the people of Lushan. Called a God by the people. From then on, the Yuan County Magistrate never pressed for payment of Lushan’s taxes. When he had to pay, he would come to Qintai to play the Qin. And won praise from the people. At the same time, we will vigorously support the Silk Industry. Our silk in Lushan was able to survive until the Qing Dynasty reached its peak. We still have the site of Qintai in Lushan as a memorial.
