Extended data writing background:
Fang (18,579-648) was born in Linzi, qi zhou (now Fangzhuang, Xianggongzhuang Town). A famous figure and politician in the early Tang dynasty, the son of Jingyang satrap in Sui Dynasty.
Good at poetry writing, reading classics and reading history. At the age of eighteen, he was born a scholar, and was awarded the title of county commandant of Yu Qiwei and Ji Cheng. After Jinyang took refuge in Li Shimin, the king of Qin, he actively made suggestions, supervised ministers and selected talents, and became one of Qin Deli's counselors.
In the ninth year of Wude (626), he planned the change of Xuanwu Gate and took the lead with Du Ruhui and other five people. After Emperor Taizong acceded to the throne, he worshipped the order of the Secretariat and sealed the country. He is responsible for managing state affairs, compiling national history and compiling the Book of Jin.
During his administration, Fang was skillful in strategy and Du Ruhui was decisive. He called it "giving up the book and chasing the end" and became a model of good looks. Moved to Shangshu, left servant shot, Sikong, sealed Liang Guogong, ranked among the 24 outstanding figures in Lingyange.
There are 18 pieces of Jin Dynasty history handed down before the Tang Dynasty, in fact, there are more than 20 pieces, among which Zheng Zhong and Yu Du are lost, and the rest still exist.
At that time, it was thought that these Books of Jin had various defects, and "although many works were not perfect", it was convenient for the compilation of Books of Jin in the twentieth year of Zhenguan (646). The Book of Jin said: "It is great to cover the use of historical records."
The history books of the previous generation, besides the Book of Jin, also include History of Liang, Chen, Northern Qi, Zhou and Sui. Why did Li Shimin choose the Book of Jin to write a historical review?
This is mainly because the Western Jin Dynasty was a unified dynasty, which ended the decades-long division in the Three Kingdoms period. However, its unification was short-lived, and soon there was a big scuffle in the Central Plains, and then the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Sixteen Countries, and the Southern Dynasties and the Northern Dynasties were opposed for a long time. Li Shimin, as the pioneering king of the unified Tang Dynasty, wanted to explore the rise and fall of the Jin Dynasty for reference.
It is for this reason that Sima Yi, the founding father of the Western Jin Dynasty, and Sima Yan, who completed the great cause of reunification, are taken as the main research objects (historical comments on Lu Ji and Wang Xizhi mainly focus on their literary and artistic achievements, which belongs to another situation, regardless of it).
Although the historical theories of Xuan Di and Liang Wudi are relatively general, they do not touch the essence of the rise and fall of the rebellion in the Jin Dynasty, but they point out that Sima Yan's "monopolizing power and forgetting danger", "I don't know where to be wide and narrow-minded" and "taking the new collection as the foundation and not thinking about the difficulties of long-term stability". These comments finally see some phenomena.
Fang and others were responsible for supervising and revising the Book of Jin and organized a group of historians and scholars. The Book of Jin is based on the Book of Jin written by Zang, a native of the Southern Dynasties, and refers to other Jin history and related works. From the twentieth year of Zhenguan (646) to the twenty-second year of Zhenguan (648), it compiled dozens of classics and miscellaneous sayings, and quoted historical records of sixteen countries.
