A Chinese Biographical Dictionary/Fêng Fu
564 Fêng Fu 馮溥 (T. 孔博 and 易齋). A.D. 1608-1691. Graduated as chin shih in 1646, and soon rose to be Vice President of the Board of Civil Office. In 1667 he established an orphanage at Peking, the pattern for many such institutions throughout China. Transferred to the Censorate, he boldly showed up the misgovernment of the Regent Ao-pai and also various abuses in civil and military and judicial administration. In 1670 he became President of the Board of Punishments, and next year a Grand Secretary. He then occupied himself in choosing at a special examination 50 sound scholars, all of whom proved satisfactory officials. At a banquet in 1682, the Emperor, as a mark of favour, personally handed him a goblet of wine, which made him so drunk that he had to be assisted home. Canonised as 文毅.
