黄六鸿 / Huang Liuhong

黄六鸿 / Huang Liuhong is the Qing magistrate whose administrative writing becomes one of [[JonathanSpence|史景迁]]’s key sources in [[TheDeathOfWomanWang|《王氏之死》]]. In 148. 王氏之死：断井颓垣上的历史妆镜, he appears as a county official trying to govern [[Tancheng|郯城]] after earthquake, famine, tax stress, lawsuits, suicide, and local disorder.

His [[FuhuiQuanshu|《福惠全书》]] supplies details that a county gazetteer alone would not provide: case handling, suicide admonitions, local belief, and practical investigation. In the [[WangShiTancheng|王氏]] case, the episode emphasizes his combination of forensic observation and social psychology: he inspects the mat and body marks, questions neighbors, and uses fear of the [[Chenghuang|城隍]] temple to hear the Ren father and son speak under pressure.
