Zeng Gong (courtesy name Zigong), widely known as "Master of Nanfeng," was one of the esteemed "Eight Great Prose Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties." A prominent writer, historian, and statesman of the Northern Song dynasty, Zeng was a disciple of Ouyang Xiu and earned high praise for his literary talents and profound scholarship in Confucian classics and history. This book focuses on Zeng Gong's tenure in Jinan, where he left an enduring legacy. He supervised major public works such as building roads and bridges and established the Luoyuan Hall and Lishan Hall beside Baotu Spring. In his essay "Record of the Two Halls of Qizhou," Zeng conducted detailed research on Lishan and the Luo River, affirming that Jinan's Lishan was the very site where Emperor Shun once tilled the land—an identification of great historical and cultural significance. Through vivid historical detail, this biography highlights Zeng Gong's contributions to the city's development, governance, and cultural identity.
