Wen Weng, a native of Shu County in Lujiang (present-day southwest of Lujiang in Anhui Province) during the Western Han Dynasty, served as the Governor of Shu Commandery under Emperor Jing. At that time, the Shu region was remote and underdeveloped, with education largely neglected. To address this, Wen Weng dispatched junior officials to the capital, Chang'an, where they studied under erudite scholars or specialized in legal statutes. Upon their return, these individuals were appointed to key positions. Furthermore, he established a public school in Chengdu, offering exemption from corv�e labor to those who enrolled and appointing high-achieving graduates as local officials. Within a few years, the intellectual atmosphere in Shu was transformed, and its scholarly achievements came to rival those of the cultural heartlands of Qi and Lu. After his death in Shu, a memorial temple was built in his honor in Chengdu, later known as the ""Stone House of Wen Weng."" 文翁,西汉庐江舒县(今安徽庐江西南)人。西汉景帝年间为蜀郡守。因当时蜀地僻远,教学不兴,文翁派小吏至长安,受业于博士,或学律令,学成后皆署要职。又在成都市设学校,入学得免除徭役,并以成绩优良者为郡县吏。数年之后,蜀地风气大变,蜀学比于齐、鲁。后卒于蜀,成都为立祠,后称"文翁石室"。 Biography of Wen Weng chronicles his life and pioneering contributions to governance and education, particularly his founding of the first state-run schools. Beginning with his family background and early life, the book focuses on his tenure as Governor of Shu Commandery toward the end of Emperor Jing's reign, detailing his administration marked by integrity, benevolent governance, and the promotion of education and talent. Special emphasis is placed on his establishment of public schools and his implementation of an inclusive education policy that admitted students regardless of social background. This work offers a vivid narrative illuminating a crucial chapter in ancient Chinese education and Wen Weng's transformative role within it. 《文翁传》讲述了汉代文翁的生平事迹以及兴政祟教、首创官办学校的重要贡献。本书从文翁的家世生平入手,讲述了他在汉景帝末年任蜀郡守后,清正仁爱、举贤兴教、励精图治的功绩,尤其是他首创官办学校、施行"有教无类"办学方针的历史贡献,为我们了解古代教育及文翁所起到的重要作用,提供了生动的文本。
