Biography

任辰旦,浙江萧山人。
清史稿卷四百七十六 列传二百六十三:
  辰旦,字千之,浙江萧山人。顺治十三年进士。康熙初,授上海知县。清苦自励,敏於听断,数决疑狱,豪猾敛迹。催科以时,不大用鞭朴,百姓感其仁,输纳恐后。濒海防军将撤,密请行期,故邀军主欢饮,宣言期须少缓,次日令下,促急行。乃厚其牛酒,道上劳军,军无敢迁延他顾,居民帖然。黄龙浦为吴淞江入海要口,建闸屡圮。故事,修闸必筑坝,费不赀。辰旦仿浙人为梁法,度基广狭,约丈尺伐石,识其甲乙,下之水,使善泅者厝之,悉中程。复广左右护堤,约水就道,十阅月而工成。不病役,不糜帑,邑人颂之。县田没水者六千亩,赋额未除,输者率破家。前令屡勘虚实贸乱,至是巡抚慕天颜疏请复勘。辰旦喜曰:“是吾志也。”日往来泥沙中,按旧册履丈,釐其荒者,阅二月,费皆自办,俸不足,出银钏棉布偿之。籍上,得减除额徵有差。十八年,举博学鸿儒,放还故官。复以良吏荐,入为给事中,论事切直,改大理寺丞。母忧归。旋以前廷推事诖误落职,卒於家。
