Life of Characters in Zhang Xuan's Works

I have participated in the compilation of national history, attended banquets, glimpsed the collection of books in the secret pavilion, and am familiar with allusions. Wanli returned in thirty-nine years, accumulated more than twenty years, and compiled a book, West Park News Record, with 107 volumes. From Hongwu to Wanli. It is divided into three parts: the internal part shows virtue and values friendship; External recording of political affairs, according to the official points, from the cabinet, prime minister, six ministries, Taiwan remonstration to foreign officials and internal ministers, and returning to the official; Those that don't belong to Ji Fang, ghosts and disasters are miscellaneous. There are more excerpts than official newspapers in the book, and the historical materials are of high value, which is helpful to study the evolution of politics, economy, military, culture and official system in Ming Dynasty. Among them, there are as many as 32 military volumes, especially the records of Jianzhou Jurchen. According to the fifth year of Chongzhen, the book was selected and engraved, which is divided into two volumes: internal edition, external edition and miscellaneous edition, and has not been handed down from generation to generation. Painting, fine appreciation, exchanges and discussions with Wang Shizhen, Wang Shudeng, Dong Qichang, etc., and is good at painting theory.

I am studious and knowledgeable, familiar with the history of classics, calligraphy, cursive script, seal script and official history. The achievement in bibliography is thirty-three years of Wanli (1605). When he was in charge of cabinet books, he compiled eight volumes of the Catalogue of New Cabinet Books. First, there are the scripture system, the canon system, and then the records, epigraphy, pictures, music, Song studies, Neo-Confucianism, recitation, communication, art, ambition and multiplication, miscellaneous departments and other categories. Every book is slightly annotated with the author's name, which is slightly better than Wenyuange's bibliography. Knowledgeable, I am familiar with astronomy, geography, Yin and Yang, military, agriculture, etiquette, music, Xuancheng, military strategy and so on. He is good at collecting books, loves collecting books, and spares no effort in searching books. He has collected a lot of wealth for decades, with more than 10 thousand books. For example, Wang Meng in the Song Dynasty, Tang Yin in the Ming Dynasty and money were all owned by him. In his later years, he abandoned his official position and returned home. He built a "West Garden" on the west side of Rongxi near the county seat, and enjoyed reading, collecting books, proofreading books and writing. In the West Garden, he set up a special library with many special rooms for storing books, paintings and calligraphy, such as Shi Lunzhai, Huishi Building, Xuan, Lou and Piguzhai. Ancient books are exquisitely carved, such as Taihe Yin Zhengpu carved by Ning Xian Wang Zhu Quan. In the Yuan Dynasty, there were works by Zhang Junfang, Li Dao, Dai Dong, Zhao Xiyu and Gu Ying.

During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty (1582) in the afternoon, it was held in the countryside, from the official of the middle school to the doctor of the household department. First, during the Reform Movement of 1898 (1598), I sought a job in Zhongshu Province and got a glimpse of the collection of books in the Secret Pavilion. Later, he worked as an official in Wu Shen (1608) and was assigned to Wuguan.

By Wanli 19 1 1 year (16 1 1), he was 60 years old. After that, he lived at home for 25 years and died at the age of 84.

Zhang Xuan has a wealth of knowledge and works. According to the New Preface of Medical Essentials written in his later years, besides Huiya and Medical Essentials, there are West Garden Classic 120, West Garden History 200, West Garden History 200, West Garden 500 and West Garden Story 120.

He was seventy-six years old when he wrote this preface. Because "Suspected Yao" was published in the name of Li Zhi by "Pirated Printing", he said: "The book is in the world, but the name of the family is lucky, and" Huiya "is just that." As for other works, it should be regarded as "those who have good things in the future will destroy the wood with books." It can be seen that Zhang Xuan's works are numerous, and most of them have never been to Fu Zi when he was over eighty.

The History of Ming Dynasty contains only 20 volumes of Uighur, 20 volumes of Uighur, and Xi Yuan Wen and Jian Lu 160. Ruan Yuan's Guangdong Tongzhi only contains 20 volumes of Hui Ya, and its sequel is 28 volumes, West Garden Note 108 volume, Yi Yao 7 volume, and West Garden History 160 volume. He also recorded that "there are four volumes in the secret cabinet of Xuanshang".

Huiya and Yi Yao were included in Siku Quanshu at the same time. Huiya is a word book, which is divided into "classics" and "primary schools". The Summary of Sikuquanshu said: "Every article in this book is classified as Erya, followed by Xiaoya, Guangya and Dialect. Download it and annotate it with Xuan's self-explanation, which is quite creative.

Zhang Xuan paid attention to exegesis in his research, which was quite original, but he lost all stability. Therefore, the four libraries collect elegance and replace books with books.

According to the author's preface, The Story of the West Garden (volume 108) was written in 1898 (159877), which lasted for eight years and was completed in 1898 (1608). Unfortunately, it was written by. The book is divided into internal compilation, external compilation and miscellaneous compilation, and each article is divided into two categories: "preface" and "mu". From Hongwu to Wanli, it has been recording scholars of Ming history for more than 200 years.

Zhang Xuan's works in Siku are only "Yi Yao", which belongs to the "Zibu" sage. Yaoyao was originally published in 27 volumes, but only 7 volumes were published in one hundred days of Wanli (1608), which is quite popular in the world. (According to Mao Qingxi's article "Zhang Xuan, a Lingnan Scholar in Ming Dynasty and His Query")
