Details of Wang Yi (Yuan Dynasty historian)

Wang Yi, the word teacher Lu, was born in the cloud and moved to Zhengding (now Zhengding, Hebei). His father Jin Shiyuan died in the Southern Song Dynasty and went to work in Jiangnan. Wang Yi was a scholar in the second year of Yan You (13 15). Yin and Song and Zhou Dynasties knew each other when they were in Linhuai County. Yuan Wenzong Shunzhi was edited by Hanlin, and later Dr. Guo Zi and Hanlin were appointed. At the beginning of Zheng Zheng, Yuan Shundi was appointed minister of does. In the first year of Tong Yuan (1333), he presided over the imperial examination and edited the history of Liao, Jin and Song as a "presidential official". He died after twenty-two years in Zheng Zhi (1362). He has a literary name and can write poems. He once built a stone house to live in. Because Yi, a collection of poems and essays, was lost earlier, Wang Yi rarely involved in the discussion of Yuan poems and essays. At the beginning of Qing Dynasty, Gu compiled Selected Songs of Yuan Dynasty, that is, Wang Yi's poems were not seen. During the reign of Qianlong in Qing Dynasty, Si Ku Quan Shu was compiled, and 24 volumes of Yi Jibin, including 12 volumes of poems, were compiled from Yongle Dadian. See Zeng Lian's Yuan Shu, Volume 167, Yibin Collection Summary, Volume 5, Volume 27, Volume 89.

Basic introduction Real name: Wang Yi alias: Wang Shilu, Wang Time: Yuan Dynasty Nationality: Han nationality: twenty-two years (1362). Main works: Yu Jie's ancestral home: Yunzhong's position: works handed down in Linhuai County in Yin, Song and Zhou Dynasties, details, works handed down in Wang's poems, and famous poets Fu Ruojin and Fu Ruojin at that time. Wang Yi's lyrics are also very good. This song "Journey to the Imperial Street" can give you a glimpse: You will go ahead in Guangwu Mountain. Ruan Ji and the carriage returned. Ask him what the Confucian scholars have achieved. No one can talk to you, but you can also trim your eyebrows when you are far away. Leave the palace and don't go to the museum. Roaring wood, charming cries, squirrels. The past is casual, only idle clouds come and go. Stop and take a sentence. Back to Yundong Mansion, I was deeply interested. Details There are many celebrities on Wang Yi's ancestors, such as the Jin Dynasty celebrity king, who is good at poetry and songs. Wang's grandson, that is, Wang Yi's great-grandfather, was a Confucian scholar, especially an official for a long time, and was deeply appreciated by Jin Xuanzong, who supervised the empire. Wang Yi's father, Wang, is also a poet with the following official positions. Wang Yi received a good education since childhood. In the second year of Yuan Renzong's reign (13 15), he was a scholar, and he was appointed as Linhuailing and Tongzhi Songzhou. Later, he successively served as editor of the National History Institute, doctor of Guo Zixue, academician to be compiled, and court call, and began to write materials for the court. The summary of Sikuquanshu says that he "has been a writer for decades, and there are more temple works than his hands." It's just that these words are unsigned, and we can't tell which ones were written by Wang Yi from the articles in the Yuan Dynasty. In the third year of Zheng Zhi, Yuan Shundi (1343), the imperial court began to compile History of Song Dynasty, History of Jin Dynasty and History of Liao Dynasty. Wang Yi, who learned from the past and learned from the present, became one of the consuls of Liao history and one of the four great masters of Liao history. At this time, Wang Yi has been appointed Minister of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ritual. Both Liao History and Jin History were compiled in less than a year, and Song History, the largest of the Twenty-Five History, took only two and a half years. This book was written in such a hurry that later generations have different views on these three history books. But historians' innovation in Liao history is still positive. Liao history is characterized by many tables, with eight tables, second only to Historical Records and Hanshu. Too many tables reduce the complexity of biography, save a lot of space and make up for the lack of discipline, ambition and biography. Among them, wandering, tribes and countries are innovations in Liao history. Through the list, readers can see at a glance the situation of various tribes and countries and their relations with the central government of the Liao Dynasty, saving a lot of pen and ink. It also makes up for the shortcomings of Liao History, so that "the deeds of a generation are also slightly prepared." There should be Wang Yi's credit. After compiling three histories, I couldn't find the whereabouts of Wang Yi. Some historians speculate that he resigned, but there is no accurate evidence. They only know that in the 22nd year of Zheng Zhi, Shun Di (1362), Wang Yi, who was over seventy, returned to his hometown and lived in Yinshan and Yingchuan. Later, he can't stay here any longer.
