摘要
广西玉林市"江岸村"苏氏第十六代孙苏宗经(1793-1864),是晚清道同年间最清廉的士人。出任广西地方教育官员时,苏宗经守道安贫,宦囊如洗,创造了宦海"空囊"的廉政新境。清末乱世,地方匪患猖獗,"囊空原不忧强盗",他因之而脱险;即便为太平军捕获,他依旧高歌"贫极还可贺"。这样一股"清风"气尚,既深深影响了同代的晚清人,也是现代知识分子砥砺廉耻的活教材。同时,苏宗经问学不辍,史识独到,个人诗文、学术及其理念,载诸方册,亦是真实呈现晚清岭南地方精英经邦济世的好史料。
Su Zongjing（1793-1864）,one of the grandsons of the sixteenth generation in Su＇s family at Jiang＇an Village,Yulin City,Guangxi,was the first honest and clean bachelor during the reign of Emperor Daoguang and Tongzhi in the late Qing Dynasty.As a local education official,Su Zongjing held fast to moral principles and was content to live in poverty,and the savings from his official career were very little.Because of his empty wallet,he could escape from the robbers.Even when he was captured by the Taiping Army,he didn＇t worry about it,saying ＂it＇s so good to be extremely poor＂.Such a ＂cool breeze＂ deeply influenced the same generation of people in the late Qing Dynasty,and he was also a good example of modern intellectuals.Meanwhile,he was diligent in his learning and study,and had unique opinion of history.His books rendered true historical materials of how outstanding officials in the late Qing Dynasty administered a place.
