Zheng Lu (748–818), courtesy name Enshou, originally named Bao, also known as Guansan, was a native of Putian. He was born on the fifteenth day of the third month in the year 740 (the 27th year of the Kaiyuan era during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang) at the hour of Chen. In the third year of the Qianyuan era (760) during the reign of Emperor Suzong of Tang, he passed the imperial examination in the category of Mingjing. On the first day of the eighth month in the first year of the Zhenyuan era (785) during the reign of Emperor Dezong of Tang, he, along with his kinsmen and younger brothers Zheng Zhuang and Zheng Shu, came to Putian. They established the first school in the Min region, “Hushan Academy,” beside their ancestral tomb on Nanhu Mountain, pioneering cultural and educational development in Putian. This led to a flourishing intellectual scene described as “nine out of ten houses had a study, and half the scholars passed the imperial exams.” The efforts of these three gentlemen laid the foundation for Putian’s reputation as a land of culture and scholarship, as well as a coastal hub of Confucian learning...
