The other system lacks Zhao Yingji and Chapter 30. The earliest existing book belonging to this system is Su Wen Ding Gong Ji, which was carved in the Song Dynasty and only has ten volumes left. Another Song Dynasty engraving, Luan Ji Cheng, has 2 1 volume. Secondly, Luancheng Collection written by Zhu Rangxu, a Shuren in the 20th year of Jiajing in Ming Dynasty, has 50 volumes in the first set, 24 volumes in the second set and three volumes 10. There is also a kind of Meiji handwriting, which is printed according to the Ming Jiajing Shu engraving, and the style is the same. The fourth edition is actually a copy of the Ming Jiajing edition. Today, Zaozhuang and Ma Defu used Meng Xuan in Ming and Qing Dynasties as the base book, and other books participated in the school. They also collected seventy-four lost poems, lost words and lost essays by Su Zhe, and named them "Luancheng Collection", which was published by Shanghai Ancient Books Publishing House 1987.
Su Zhe, a native of Meishan, Meizhou, is Su Shi's younger brother. Ren Song Jia? For six years (106 1), he was promoted to the same department as Su Shi. He should have been appointed as a military attache in Shangzhou, but Wang Anshi knew the imperial edict at that time. He thought of Su Zhe's discussion in the examination paper of the Civil Affairs Department, saying that the state affairs attacked the emperor in the way of protecting the prime minister, refused the imperial edict, and finally did not arrive at the post. Later, Wang Anshi was trusted by Zongshen and promoted the new law, but Su Zhe opposed it. Therefore, during the Zongshen period, Su Zhe was very dissatisfied with his career. It was not until the seventh year of the first year (1084) that he was appointed as Jixi county magistrate. The next year, Zongshen died, Sima Guang came to power, abolished the new law and restored the old law, and Su Zhe was quickly promoted. Yuan? In the first year (1086), Su Zhe Ren Zhongshu Scheeren, Zhiyuan? In seven years, he was appointed as the doctor and assistant gatekeeper of Dazhong doctor. But what about Yuan? In eight years, the New Deal was implemented again, and he was demoted again. Shao Sheng lived in Leizhou for four years (1097) and moved to Zhou Xun the following year. Three years later (1 100), Zhiyuan was pardoned and lived in Xuchang. After 20 years of quiet life, he died in Zhenghe two years (1 12) at the age of 74.
Su Zhe wrote a lot in his life, especially in his two relegations and his later years. In addition to Luancheng Collection, there are Poems 2 1 volume, Chunqiu Collection 12 volume, Ancient History 60 volume, Longchuan Lvzhi 10 volume, Longchuan Biezhi 8 volume and Laozi Xie 2 volume. Su Zhe pays more attention to the unity of ideological content and artistic form of literary works, attaches importance to the role of experience and other practices in creation, and requires his works to have their own style and be unique. His literary achievements are mainly in prose. He said: "Zi Zhan's writing is strange, and the rest are stable." (Luancheng's last words) His articles are ingenious in conception, rigorous in structure, concise and fluent in writing and simple and elegant in language. A large number of political essays he wrote in his life have this feature. And in a very short space, it often fluctuates and changes, which is logical and convincing.
For example, his "Mince No.2" aims to discuss the disadvantages of the imperial examination in the Song Dynasty, but he starts with the differences of folk customs in Zhou Tai, and naturally gets down to business in the second half, accusing the court of trying to "save the people who are loyal and filial" and only taking the imperial examination, so "the scholar-officials learn for the sake of sound and illness", and the main idea of the article is completely clear. Liu Haifeng in the Qing Dynasty said: "The article of Ziyou refuses to get to the point, which is manifested in this article." Su Zhe's numerous historical theories often have this feature. For example, an article about the Tang Dynasty spent more than half of its space discussing general historical phenomena without mentioning the Tang Dynasty, but it paved the way for later literary criticism of the Tang Dynasty. The discussion of the Tang Dynasty was actually a remedy for the Song Dynasty. Putting pen to paper is far away from the center and close to the center, which means that it is here, with hints and implications.
Many of Su Zhe's miscellaneous notes and biographies are also full of literary color. The language is elegant and indifferent, and none is gorgeous. But vivid images often give people an immersive feeling. His masterpiece, such as "Huangzhou Kuaizai Pavilion", says: The river flows out of Xiling, and it is flat at first, and it flows recklessly. It is beneficial to combine Yuan and Xiang in the south with Han and Mian in the north. As for the red cliff, it is almost like the sea. Zhang Jun of Qinghe dreamed of living in Qi 'an, which is the southwest of Lu 'an, in order to see the victory of the river. The day when Yu Xiong and his son are looking forward to fame is coming. What Gaiting saw was a hundred miles from north to south, with a house full of things. The waves were rough and clouds were gathering. During the day, ships haunt here. At night, the ichthyosaur wailed under the tree. The change is sudden, you can't ignore it. Today is a few seats to play, look up and be satisfied. Looking at the Wuchang Mountains in the west, the mountains are undulating, the vegetation is rank, the smoke rises, the sun rises, and the father's house of fishing firewood can be indexed, so it is fast. ……
The article first looks at the scenery of mountains and rivers, and then combines the mourning and nostalgia for historical sites to express the word "Kuaizai", which is full of momentum and profound meaning. Another essay, Biography of Wogu, was written for the first time, which made people feel different. The second time I wrote about Gu He's friendship, Han was "culpable of punishment". After the entrustment, Gu "changed his name and surname, took the silver godson, and nobody knows", and then wrote the friendship with Su Zhe brothers. When they reached the top of the world, they never met, but when they were far away from Lingnan, Gu visited Wan Li on foot in Meizhou and died on the way. The full text is concise in language, typical in materials and appropriate in details. The style and image of Yi Shi's Nest Valley are vividly written in only three things. Su Zhe's poems are natural and simple.
His early works reflect more reality, such as Sleeping on a Cow's Mouth at Night: "Is Shui Han long and bad? Unsecured shares. The Mojiang River returns to its hometown, and the diving fish catches far away. Fanfan is not satisfied with the bowl, hungry and cold. " Described the tragic situation of the people in central Sichuan in plain language, and showed the poet's concern for the people's sufferings. In some of his poems, he also satirized some shortcomings of the new law, such as talking about wasting people and money, and the court sent farmers to supervise farming and disturb the people. However, there are not many such realistic poems in his poetry collection. He writes more and likes some works that express his personal feelings. For example, depression and prison anxiety caused by frustration in official career are often manifested as: "Just because I quit my job and stayed away from business, I am afraid to run around. Apprenticeship club is not the original work, but the short and long after reading poems and books. Dongshe has lived as an old house for a long time, and the new species in spring are like my lang. I have learned to shrink my head behind closed doors, and I still avoid slander. " This is the first setback in his career. He had to quit the poem he wrote when he went to Shangzhou as a military attache, because he was attacked by the current situation in the system examination. This poem expresses his inner resentment and injustice in a gentle but not urgent style.
When he was demoted to supervise Yunzhou salt and wine tax, he wrote: "Micro-officials keep rotten tanks all day and cross the river on rainy nights. I have known since I was a child that Confucianism is wrong. Just be happy when you sleep. In the middle of the night, I chirped about the urn and fell asleep. Rustling leaves knocked on the window. Ruan Ji is an official, so there is no need to hate Nanbang alone. " (Drinking in the Rain) First write about the busyness of the bartender, then write about the exhaustion of the strong heart, then set off the bleak mood with the immediate prospect, and finally end with self-comfort. The whole poem is euphemistic, sad but not hurt. In addition, Su Zhe wrote many poems about scenery, things and paintings in his life, which also have the characteristics of freshness and elegance, and most of them entrusted his life feelings.
Su Zhe was quite famous in the literary world at that time, and some people even thought that his articles were better than Su Shi's. Su Shi himself said, "A servant is not as good as a son's literary talent" (in reply to Zhang Wenqian's book), and other scholars, such as Liu Fang and Qin Guan, have similar opinions. In the Southern Song Dynasty, Lu You once advised Zhou Bida to learn poetry by "oh-door poetry" (Zhou Bida's Postscript Su and Liu Gongfu's Provincial Poetry). During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Su Zhe's works were even listed as learning models. In Ming Dynasty, Zhu Shi compiled Collected Works of Eight Masters, Tang Shunzhi compiled Collected Works, Mao Kun compiled Manuscripts of Eight Masters of Tang and Song Dynasties, and Collected Works of Ten Masters of Tang and Song Dynasties, all of which had the preface of Su Zhe, which shows that Su Zhe spoke highly of his writings.
The ban on Ji Cheng in Lu 'an is briefly described as follows: After Su Zhe came back from Zhou Xun, the old Party was still excluded and hit politically because the court continued to implement the new law. In the second year of Chongning (1 103), Song Huizong wrote and burned the plates of Su Shi's and Su Zhe's collected works, and his Ji Cheng in Lu 'an became a banned book. However, the later Luan Ji, San Ji and Zhao Yingji were not edited at that time, so only fifty volumes of Luan Qian Ji were banned today.
Su Zhe's Selected Works was banned not only because he was an old party politically, but also because he criticized the new law and the new party in the Selected Works. For example, in the book Review of Zizhou Current Affairs written by Zong Shen, he denied the four main aspects of the new law-young crops, insurance, exemption from labor and easy market: "There is no surplus for farmers to build young crops, no spare capacity for farmers to protect crops, no public or private difficulties, and easy to get sick in the market. On the other hand, officials work hard and suffer; Next, everyone sighs and hopes to change soon. " ("Luan City Collection" Volume 35) Written in Yuan? At the beginning of Begging for Punishment and Escaping to Lv Huiqing, I wrote: "I fell in love with Lv Huiqing. He used to be involved in politics ... and he was full of tricks. He dared to cross the line, forgetting profit and righteousness, and had no appetite for goods.
Wang Anshi took office for the first time and took him as his confidant. Ye's people are strong and proud, but they know nothing about official affairs. Hui Qing teaches and helps his evil. "("Luan Ji Cheng "Volume 38) When the two pillars of the new law, Wang Anshi and Lv Huiqing, were introduced, they were extremely violent. After Guangxin regained power, the situation of this anthology was naturally not good. In addition, at the beginning of Ren Yuan, he repeatedly impeached Cai Que and his relative Cai Jing, who promoted the new law during the reign of God. He said that Cai was "dangerous and profound, and the jailer entered it" and "overturned his conviction at any time, feeling a little ashamed" and demanded his dismissal ("Luan Volume 36, Begging for Governance and Begging for the Left and Right Servants to Shoot Cai and Wei Zhen Table"); It is said that Cai Jing, a "newcomer", learned nothing but Wang Anshi's marriage. It's nice to meet you. "He was appointed as the governor of Kaifeng. "Deliberately disturbing the people" and shielding corrupt criminals during his term of office should be dismissed (Ji Cheng of Lu 'an, Volume 36, Begging for Kaifeng House in Cai Jing). There were five ways before and after he impeached Cai Jing. When he succeeded to the throne, Cai Jing became the most trusted prime minister, and Cai did win the honor of "matching Zhejiang Gong Temple". Therefore, Su Zhe's collected works are naturally unlucky.
The relationship between Luancheng Collection and Luancheng County in Hebei Province, the three Su Dynasties in history all originated from Meishan, Sichuan, but its ancestor Su Weidao was indeed from Luancheng, Hebei Province, and Luancheng Collection implied nostalgia for his hometown.
