南宋南城吴氏社仓及其启迪意义

The Warehouse of Wu Family from Nancheng County during the Southern Song and Its Enlightenments

救灾赈济是不可缺少的公益事业。南宋时期朱熹等士大夫兴办了官营的社仓,而南城县吴伸、吴伦兄弟以家财建成特大型的民营社仓,并敦请乡邻监督。又建书楼教育子孙信守仁义,戒除贪啬、渔利、废事的弊病,把社仓长久办下去。从一块石碑得知,该社仓曾遭闽寇烧毁,吴氏后人重新建立,赈济善举继续开展。朱熹、陆游、王遂皆著文称赞平民吴氏,为社仓以惠其乡,为书楼以善其家,规模宏阔而思虑深长,不愧是富民与官僚仿效的楷模。这是一份宝贵的历史文化遗产,具有深刻的启迪意义。

Disaster relief is an indispensable public welfare service.In the Southern Song Dynasty Zhu Xi and some elite set up an official welfare granary,at the same time Wu brothers（Wu Shen Wu Lun）of Nancheng County built a folk one with their large wealth,and subjected themselves to be supervised by the neighbors.In order to have the long-term maintenance,they also built a library to educate their descendants to abide by the principles of charity and credit and to avoid corruption,dishonest profits and non-action.A stele of the Southern Song revealed that the warehouse was burnt down by bandits from Fujian Province and the posterity of Wu Family rebuilt it to continue the charitable efforts.Zhu Xi,Lu You and Wang Sui all wrote articles to praise them for the warehouse to civilian and the library to children,and thought of them as models for the officials.The whole event was a valuable historical and cultural heritage with profound enlightenments.
