Tang Shaoen is from Anyue. Father Tang Zuo, a scholar in the early years of Hongzhi, was an official in politics. Tang Shaoen entered the Jinshi in Jiajing five-year examination. In fourteen years, the doctor of fact was transferred to the magistrate of De 'an, and soon he was transferred to the magistrate of Shaoxing. He is generous and respected. He is frugal and simple, wearing coarse clothes inside and an old robe left by his father outside. When I first arrived in Shaoxing, I built a new study palace and many rural schools. He lightens the punishment, helps the poor and the weak, and commends those who have moral integrity and honor their parents, so the feelings of the people are very harmonious.

Rivers in Yin Shan, Huiji and Xiaoshan meet at Sanjiangkou and flow into the sea. The tide is coming every day, and the sediment is piling up like a mountain. When it rains for a long time and floods, the water will be blocked by sediment and cannot flow down immediately, and all the fertile land will become a big lake, and the officials in charge will have to dig a dam to discharge the flood. The dam has been dug, and we are worried about the drought. We have to build dams and dikes every year. Tang Shaoen traveled all the way to Sanjiangkou. Seeing the confrontation between the two mountains, he said happily, "There must be a stone foundation under the mountain. Should I build a sluice here? " So I recruited people who are good at diving to explore. Sure enough, there is a stone vein between the two mountains, so I started construction. First throw the iron and stone, and then sink the broken bricks in the bamboo cage. Less than half of the projects could not be completed because of the tide, so many complaints were born. Tang Shaoen did not waver, so he prayed to Poseidon. As a result, there was no high tide for several days and the project was completed. More than forty feet were built, and 28 doors were built to match 28 houses. In order to prevent the gates from being washed away, three spare gates were built inside. More than 400 stone dikes were built outside the sluice to control the tide so as not to endanger the sluice. Carve the water level on the stone so that future generations can observe the water level and open or close the gate on time. Since then, there have been no floods for hundreds of miles in Fiona Fang, three counties in Fiona Fang. People are very grateful to him, so they built a temple next to the sluice to offer sacrifices at festivals. Later, he was promoted to Shandong Buzheng, retired and returned to China at the age of 97.

When Tang Shaoen was born, a monk in Emei Mountain passed by his house and said, "Will there be a place called Shao in the future?" "So named salt interest, you entered the word, and later this was verified.
