After resigning in his later years, he lived in seclusion in Zhao Tian Village, LULU, Wujiang, and became a Wujiang native.
When Huang Yuan was a teenager, he was smart and resourceful. He was taught by Zen master Yungu to study astronomy, martial arts, water conservancy, military and political affairs, medicine, etc. to make up for his disciples' shortcomings. In the forty-fourth year of Jiajing in Ming Dynasty (1565), an academy was opened in the magistrate's county, which enabled high flyers to learn Confucian classics from Yuan. In the five years of Wanli (1577), he initially tried to get the first place in the exam, but fell behind because his strategy violated the examiner.
In the 14th year (1586), he was one of the three famous scholars in Jiaxing in the early years of Wanli. He was ordered to clear out Su Song's money and went to "Fuyi" to ask for a reduction of rice and silver levy 10, but was stopped by the gentry. In the sixteenth year of Wanli (1588), he was named the prefect of Baodi County (now Tianjin) in Hebei Province, and served for five years with brilliant achievements.
In the twentieth year of Wanli (1592), he was transferred to the Ministry of War as the minister of war. When Japan invaded Korea, the imperial court made a massive eastward expedition. Song Yingchang, the coach of Hebei and Liao, invited him to the military camp to praise the painting and crossed the Yalu River with the businessmen. In the battle of Pyongyang, the prefect Li lured the enemy to win. Li's men are not allowed to behead and report the meritorious military service. Li Shen was very angry. He led his troops to the East and sent Huang Yuan to stay in North Korea without adding a soldier. Later, when the Japanese army attacked the city, Huang Yuan led his soldiers and 3000 North Korean soldiers to repel it.
Soon, Li was defeated by Bitou Pavilion, and Shi Xing, the minister of the Ministry of War, advocated investing in peace talks. Huang Yuan wrote that he would be arrogant and should stop fighting. Li falsely accused ten counts, so he went home and wrote a book behind closed doors. He was 74 years old. ?
