Advocating Leisure has a novel version of Gu Shufang (hereinafter referred to as Gu Ben), which was reprinted by Gu according to the Song version in Jiajing period of Ming Dynasty, and it is one of the earliest engraving systems of this book. According to Gu Ben, the text is as follows:
Li Fan, assistant minister, tried to write Poems of Li He as a preface. If you don't succeed, you will know that you have a cousin, an old brush and an old inkstone, call for advice and entrust him to search for the inheritance. The man thanked him and asked him, "If someone records his actions and sees many of his mistakes, please look at them and correct them." Lee, give me your hand. Minnian is missing. Gong Li was very angry and summoned him again. The man said, "I have been with him at home and abroad since I was a child. I hate his arrogance and always think about it." Those who earn both capital and capital will be thrown into the middle for a while. "Gong Li was furious, denounced it and hated it for a long time. Therefore, congratulations are rarely circulated.
Li Fan's collection of Li He's poems is one of the most popular anecdotes in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, and most of these poems were destroyed by his cousins. This story has always been used to explain why Changji's poems have been handed down from generation to generation, but Li Fan, the assistant minister of Li He's poems and the protagonist of this article, has not attracted much attention.
Zhu Ziqing's Chronicle of Li He quoted this article under the article "Xin Mao (8 1 1), 22 years old", thinking that "this article was written after He He died. But 148, the old book "Fan Chuan" said that he died in this year, which was 58 years: then what Zhang Gu said was also a rumor (Volume 8 of Complete Works of Zhu Ziqing, Jiangsu Education Publishing House, 1993 edition), because he is no longer alive, there is no way to say "writing poems for Li He".
If we check Li Fan's official calendar again, it seems that no one can be called "Assistant Minister". According to Fan Lichuan in Old Tang Dynasty, "Fan Li was born in Zhaojun" and "his father was an observer in central Hunan, also known as Ye". He was an official in his forties, Du Ya lived in the eastern capital, taking the son of an old friend as his career, and Zhang Jianfeng was in Xuzhou, so he engaged in it. Later, he went to the DPRK to remove the doctor. The Epitaph of Zhao Jun's Mourning for Li's Daughter was signed by the secretary of this province on December 3rd, 17th year of Zhenyuan (Compilation of Epitaphs in Tang Dynasty, edited by Zhou Shaoliang and, 19th year of Zhenyuan, Shanghai Ancient Books Publishing House, 1992 edition), and he was already a secretary at that time. The official calendar of Li Fan during the first year of Xianzong can be roughly compared as follows:
In the first year of Yuanhe, the official department was moved to be a foreign minister-Han Yu's Preface to You Zhou Li Duan: In the first year, Prime Minister Gong Li was a foreign minister of the official department (Collected Works of Han Changli of Ma Qicheng School, Shanghai Ancient Books Publishing House, 1986 edition).
Move the official department to be a doctor and take charge of Cao Cao's affairs —— Fan Lichuan, a Book of the Old Tang Dynasty
Three-year Fu —— Edited by Yi, edited by Huang Shoucheng, Zhonghua Book Company, 2002. The new book is called Yuan He Three Years, Fu Shi.
After Zheng was dismissed from office, he bowed to assistant minister Zongfan and made up —— Fan Lichuan, a book of the Old Tang Dynasty
In February 2006, he was appointed as Prince Zhan by the assistant minister. Since October, he has served as the secretariat of Huazhou, the national guest of Tongguan guarding the city, and died in November —— The Biography of Xian Zong, the Book of the Old Tang Dynasty.
That is, the post of "assistant minister under the door" was not referred to as "assistant minister" in the Tang Dynasty. It is impossible for Li Fanyou to be called "assistant minister" if it is often said that people are commensurate with his highest office afterwards.
Therefore, this Li Fan should not "compose Li He's poems". Re-examination of "Li Pan" in Volume 244 of Taiping Guangji;
In the Tang Dynasty, Assistant Minister Danielle tried to write Li He's poems, but the Preface to Collection was not completed. He knew that he had a cousin and he Biyan were close friends, so he asked his advice and asked him to find an inheritance. The man thanked him and said, "Some guys remember what he did. He often ran away from many places. Please think of it as a correction. " XiZi, pay. Minnian is missing. Pan was very angry and called him again. His people said, "I congratulate China and foreign countries. I have a lot in common with them." I hate their arrogance and neglect, and I will repay them. Those who get old songs and poems will win the lottery for a while. " Pan was furious, scolded it and hated it for a long time. Therefore, there are very few people who pass congratulatory songs. Advocating leisure (on Kaiben's Taiping Guang Ji (VI), National Library Press, 2009)
This article is slightly different from Gu Ben's narrative, but there are important variants of the words "Fan" and "Pan" in the title. Li Pan was a real person, and his activities were in the late Tang Dynasty in Li Fan. "Yunxi Entertainment" volume contains "Xianjun Sword" cloud:
In the twelfth year, Chen Wan, a former scholar, and other three people should learn and choose, and the textual research is called Di and Shi Fu. Li Pan, a calligrapher, told the Forbidden City in Yan Ying in the imperial edict, and others were right ... (The sequel to the trilogy photocopied the Ming version of Qin Qin Tongjian Building)
This article is an imperial edict written by Li in the 12th year of Dazhong, and it is also found in the Tang book "Taiping Magnolia" (Volume 629).
In the 12th year of Dazhong, Li Pan, the founder of Zhongshu, confessed to Chen Wan, a master of macro words, and entered the theory of poetry and fu. (Taiping Yulan, Zhonghua Book Company, 1998 edition)
"Taiping Yulan" is the same as the historical materials of the Tang Dynasty. Chronology of Xuanzong in the Old Tang Dynasty: Eleven and Twelve Years in Dazhong;
(October, 11th year of Dazhong) Li Fanquan, the head of China Calligraphy School, knew Gong Yuan of Libu. (February of the 12th year of Dazhong) Chao Yilang, Shou Zhongshu Sheren, Leeb, Shang, and those who gave fish bags were assistant ministers of Shangshu.
The official career of Li Fan in this chronicle coincides with that of Li Pan in Yunxi Friendship and Taiping Magnolia. Textual research on the epitaph of Shen Fujun, the successor of Dali in the Tang Dynasty (Collection of Epitaphs of Tang Dynasty) Li Gongpan, assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, is well aware of this. He said that Shen's new words are the ears of the river map. The owner of the epitaph died on February 9, 19 12, which can also be used as circumstantial evidence that he served as assistant minister of the Ministry of rites around 19 12.
Li Pan's family background can be found in Old Tang Li Shu in Hanchuan:
Li Hanzi was the Qi Dynasty in the Southern Dynasties, following the imperial clan Huaiyang and later. Ming Dow was born in Jing Rong, and Jing Rongsheng was born in the army. The army had to think and think about some things. Some of them were in unknown positions, and some were captains of Zhou Shujinyuan. Some are born with Jing, and Jing is Shaanxi Sima. To John. ..... Han Di,, Pan all entered the Jinshi. Pan Dazhong started as an assistant minister of does.
Li Pan's life experience is different from that of Li Fan mentioned above. In addition, Li Pan has been promoted to a high-ranking official class in middle age, and has served as assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, a Chinese calligrapher and an assistant minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, which is also in line with the situation that the author of "You Xian Advocates" called him an assistant minister. It can be seen that "Assistant Minister Li Fan" in You Xian Zhuan is actually "Assistant Minister Li Pan".
According to Du Mu's Preface to Li Heji, Shen's Zi Mingshu said:
Congratulations on your death. Taste the songs and poems I have written in my life. There are thousands of them in four parts. (Wu Zaiqing's Notes on Du Muji's Chronology, Zhonghua Book Company, 2008).
Li Shangyin's Li Hechuan also tells its story:
Chang Ji often rode back alone, and when he arrived, he had it and abandoned it, so there were only four volumes left in Shenyang. (Notes on Li Shangyin's Chronology by Liu and Yu Shucheng, Zhonghua Book Company 200 1 Edition)
Yi Shanwen also said that Li He was "first known to Changli Han Yu", which shows that Han Yu's appreciation of Li He was also well known at that time. However, the article did not mention that cousin Li He destroyed the manuscript, so if it is true, it probably happened after Du Mu and Li Shangyin wrote the article. Judging from Li Panshi's poems, he probably edited Li's poems in the middle and old age, and probably in the middle and late period.
Li Pan loves Li He's poems, and even painstakingly collects his posthumous works in an attempt to compile a collection of essays, which is probably related to the people around him' love for Li He. Li Pan is Li Han's younger brother, and Li Han is Han Yu's son-in-law and protege. Li Hanchuan, the Book of the Old Tang Dynasty, said that "Han, the son-in-law of Han Yu, is more literate and better at ancient learning, and his talent is not inferior to others". Du Mu and Li Shangyin all said that Han Yu appreciated Li He, and the next articles "Advocating Leisure" and "Assistant Minister Fan Liping Li He Shi" also said:
Li He praised the official department of North Korea with songs and poems. When I was in a government department, I was a department of Dr. Guo Zi, and I was very sleepy. My master presented a roll and unscrewed it. The first article "Wild Goose Gate's Taishouxing" said: "Dark clouds press the city to destroy, and the light scatters the sun." But he invited him with his life.
As for Li Hechuan's New Tang Book, "When I was seven years old, Han Yu and Huang Fu didn't believe it at first ... they were afraid, so they became famous." Although absurd, this fictional legend also proves from the side that Han Yu's love for Li Heshi is really extraordinary. As a literary veteran, Han Yu's hobby probably influenced Li Pan to some extent through Li Han. Li Han also had contacts with Li He, which can be found in Li He's poem "Going out of the city to pay Li Han".
In addition, Li Pan worked for Cui Rong, the Chinese ambassador to Yanhai, and met Li Shangyin in Cui Mu. In Yi Shan's Anping Poem, there is a sentence "Du and Li are engaged in family, and the tiger wings compete", which describes the friendship with Du Sheng and Li. Li Shangyin's friendship continued after Cui Rong's death and Cui Mu's dissolution. There are two poems written, namely "Passing by Cui Yanhai's home and chatting with Cui Mingshi about Du Sanyan" and "Peng Yang argued with Du Twenty-Seven Victory, Li Seventeen Pan Erjun, and being a fool, so Shangshu Anmen".
Some of Li Shangyin's poems in his youth showed a strong tendency to imitate Changgu's poems. His poems, such as "Pushing smoke to spit out the moon, throwing thousands of miles away, ten times the red tung and his party died" ("Song of No Sorrow for Fruits in Northern Qi Dynasty"), "How can a male and a female phoenix be separated, and the sky is also fascinated by chaos", "Frost flowers are hidden on the frozen wall, and the fragrant roots are interrupted, and the fragrant heart is dead" ("Four Poems in Yantai"), and he can infer the images of "Red Tung".
To sum up, the word "Li Fan" in the article "Assistant Minister Li Fan tasted Li Heshi" in You Xian Zhuan is "Li Pan" and the word "Li Fan" is almost incorrect. Li lived late compared with Li He, worked as an official and assistant minister, and may be influenced by Han Yu, Li Han, Li Shangyin and others to love Li He's poems. So, after learning that his poems were destroyed, he vowed to collect Li He's poems, which he had hated for a long time. After distinguishing the deeds of "Li Fan" and "Li Pan" and correcting the record of "advocating leisure", Li Pan, a lover and editor of Li He's poems, finally surfaced again in history.
