Li Qingzhao (1084 ~ about 1 15 1) was a poetess in Song Dynasty. No. Yi 'an lay man. Jinan (now Shandong) people. Her parents are well-read, and her husband Zhao Mingcheng, the son of Prime Minister Tingzhi Zhao, likes to study epigraphy. The couple collected many books and cultural relics. After the "difficulty of Jingkang", the couple went south to build health (now Nanjing, Jiangsu). And Zhao Mingcheng died of illness, lost books and cultural relics, but died of displacement. Good at poetry, fine calligraphy and painting, smooth melody. He is the author of On Ci, Collected Works of Yi 'an Jushi, Yi 'an Ci and so on. Later generations compiled Yu Shuci, and today people compiled Li Qingzhao Collection.
The main learning number is: return to the hall.
The word "return" in the Return Hall is a dictionary of "Return to Lai Ci" written by Tao Yuanming, a writer in Jin Dynasty. In the first year of Daguan, Zhao Mingcheng's father, Tingzhi Zhao, was framed by treacherous court official Cai Jing and dismissed from office. Zhao Mingcheng was also implicated and dismissed. The couple returned to Qingzhou, Shandong Province, Zhao's hometown. From then on, the husband and wife retired to the countryside like Tao Yuanming, but the study was named "Guitang". Zhao said in "The Portrait of Yi 'an laity" that they were "very close, so it was embarrassing to hide together". Studying ancient books, exhibiting and commenting on calligraphy and painting in the "Home Returning Hall", and living a "really quiet" study life.
Every time they get an ancient book, they sort, proofread and study it together; Every time I get a stone relic, I will show it all night. The books in the collection should be beautifully decorated, and the ancient stones and stone tools in the collection should be sorted and arranged in an orderly manner. Li Qingzhao had a wonderful account of his reading life in the preface to the Story of the Stone: "After every meal, sit back in class, make tea, refer to the product of book history, say something on the first line of the first page of a book, and then decide whether to win or lose for tea." Hold up a cup and laugh until the tea turns over, but you can't drink it. I am willing to be homesick forever. "
Huilaitang's study life is intoxicating. Unfortunately, I didn't get what I wanted. In the second year of Jingkang (1 127), the nomads invaded. In order to avoid the war, Li Qingzhao and his wife had to leave, return to the guild hall and go south to build health. At the end of this year, the nomads from the army occupied Qingzhou and Guitang was destroyed by the war.
