Historical review

Evaluation of New Tang Book

What a pity! The ruler of Zhi Zhi will never leave this world! Yu has the world, there are six kings in ten miles, and Shao Kang has the industry of ZTE. The soup spread all over the world, to the twenty-eight kings, and those who were very prosperous were called three cases. The prince of Wu has the world and passed it on to the thirty-six kings. The one who succeeded was Gong Xuan, the sum of Kang, and there is nothing to say about the rest. Although there are omissions in the poetry books, there are more than 700 years in three generations, and there are more than 70 monarchs. Only these six or seven monarchs have their excellent works seen in later generations. Alas, it's rare! [7]

Evaluation of Old Tang Shu

Mitchell said: "Guan Wendi, a minister, is very successful and smart in SHEN WOO." . Pulling people out is not personal to the party, but passive ambition is to do our best. Therefore, the enemy is willing to fall in love with him; Ma Zhou and Liu Yue, estranged from each other, died and appointed Jun Heng. Finally, I thank you. Try to talk about: the foundation moistens the clouds, and the insects sing and jump. Although Yao Shun is a saint, he can't compare with Qiong Qi. Yi and Lv Zhixian can't make a fortune for peace. When the monarch and the minister were killed, their eyes were gouged out, and the ants were weak, and the good was different from the value. With the house and Wei, they have more hills and caves, so they can respect the Lord and protect the people. Kuang Fazhou and Zhou Chengzhi are hereditary, but I have a legacy; He is more ashamed of virtue than the grandeur of Chinese and martial arts. I won't be confused, but I've been good at this for a thousand years. Just one person!

A short biography of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty: The rule of Zhenguan is no less than that of Cheng Kang, and both merits and demerits are prosperous. Since the Han dynasty, there has been no such thing. However, when the Qin Dynasty was first built, it opened a literature museum and recruited 18 Confucian scholars as bachelor's degrees. Since he acceded to the throne, the Hong Wen Pavilion has been located on the left side of the temple, and it was introduced by a bachelor, so he stayed more. Between listening to the DPRK and discussing the classics. Ai, no matter day or night, she will never be too lazy. Poems and pens are cursive, and they stand out from the crowd. As for astronomical hair, it is beautiful and elegant, with the elegance of the Tang Dynasty for 300 years. The emperor really started with something.

Jason Wu said in "Preface to Zhenguan Politicians": "Taizong's current politics is considerable, and it has existed since ancient times, but nothing exists."

Ge Zhi, the author of Zhenguan Power Collection in Yuan Dynasty, said: "Fu Taizong took the matter of two emperors and three kings as the way of self-cultivation and was ashamed of the way of family." However, he sacrificed himself to remonstrate, be virtuous, use himself, be diligent and thrifty, and be generous in loving the people. He is also a descendant of three generations, and there is no one else except himself. After a gentleman, it is beneficial to choose good and follow it, but not good and change it! "Here, Emperor Taizong committed the crime of two emperors and three kings in terms of self-cultivation and family harmony, mainly referring to Emperor Taizong and his younger brother Li competing for the throne.

Zhenguan politicians are full of praise for Zhenguan's rule: most officials are self-righteous, and the most common name is Hao Shu, and they dare not violate and bully others. Business trip, no thieves, often empty, only 29 people were killed. It also frequently leads to bumper harvests, which has nothing to do with San Qian's rice grabbing, cattle and horses flooding and outsiders. Travel from Beijing to Shanbiao, from Shandong to the seaside, without food, but with roads. When entering a village in Shandong, passing passengers will be treated kindly, or they will get a gift when they send it. This has never happened before.

Tang Zhide is great! Covered by the International Day, belonging to the Minister; Thin at home and abroad, there is no county, so it respects the son of heaven and is called "Tiankhan". Not since the Three Kings. To the barren areas, waiting for Tang to become a powerful country; One is not to be a guest, but to be bound to it. So it's quite valuable. The heel is caught in court. -"The Biography of North Dili"!

Personal evaluation

Wu cheng: "after three generations, only Han he enjoyed the country for a long time, and he was called the three kings." Tang Taizong was also engaged in entrepreneurship, perseverance, diligence and unremitting medical treatment. As for Mi San Qian, the family is not sealed, so the prosperity of Zhenguan is beyond the reach of Kaiyuan Yuanhe, and Taizong is the crown of the three sects of the Tang Dynasty. " .

Guo Simiao: "The rule of two emperors and three kings is beyond the reach of future generations. Taking other people's roads is all benevolence and righteousness. Emperor Taizong, with his bravery, defeated the enemy like corruption, and passed all the way ... The rule of two emperors and three kings was particularly impressive. "

Gezhi: "As for the monarch of later generations, he talks about reading, discussing form and admiring imitation. The affair of the husband, the second emperor and the third king continued, and the sages of the Han Dynasty wrote six or seven works. What is the political independence of He Zhenguan? " "However, self-denial is made by remonstrance and benevolence, courtesy and frugality, generosity and love for the people. It is also unique under three generations. The king of later generations, choose good and follow it, but change it if it is not good, wouldn't it be beneficial? "

Yi Jun's Compilation of National History: "Taizong was a politician, and his goodness was considerable. Since ancient times, nothing. "

Ouyang Xiu: "Sheng zai, the fierceness of Taizong! In addition to the chaos of the Sui Dynasty, it is better than soup and martial arts; The beauty of governance, a few percent, health. "

Emperor Qinghe of Japan also gave himself the title of Zhenguan (859-877).

Lv Zuqian commented on Emperor Taizong: "The rule at that time was not only chastity, but also Yao and Shun."

Hu Yin: "In the heyday of the Han Dynasty, Taizong was within reach. The careers of Yu, Tang, Wen and Wu are not what you want! "

Fan Zuyu: "Governing the Tao is advocated by people. Why not do it for Taizong?" ? And its success, returning to the next one, this past emperor is out of reach. "Ceng Gong:" The trip of testimonies, the prosperity of rites and music, the system of regions and the detailed teaching were not prepared by my late king; "Between the lines, the war will win, and the attack will be taken. The world thinks it is martial, not what the former king is still doing; Those who have been unable to govern for 400 years will obey, and the world thinks it is prosperous, not what the former king did. " (There was a school case dispute in the neighborhood, and finally many parties verified it. This passage means that Tang Taizong surpassed the former king and was not inferior. )

Sima Guang: "Emperor Taizong's talent in civil and military affairs is higher than in the past. After three generations, China is not prosperous. "

Later generations commented on the power of bringing order out of chaos in the early Tang Dynasty: "Confucianism was not prosperous since ancient times, and Confucius was the sage, starting from Taizong. Therefore, it is a custom-made temple in the world, with detailed names and detailed objects, detailed explanations and detailed analysis, which is a test for future generations. "

Fan Cheng (a poet in the Song Dynasty): "You might as well be born in Zhenguan, and Xiaomi didn't take precautions when counting money!"

Su Zhe: "There is only one sage of Emperor Taizong since the Western Han Dynasty. If Ren Xian can make a difference, he must be a man. He will be thrifty and the world will be punished. From the third generation, there is no comparison. "

Lu Jiuyuan also praised: "Taizong is rich in the world. You are the son of heaven, and your achievements are all your own, but you can bow your head to restrain your will and listen to the rebellious words of ministers who have done evil in the past. Oh! This leads to the rule of Zhenguan because it is the king of three generations? "

Ming Xianzong: "After three generations, governance flourished in the Tang Dynasty, but there was no chastity in the Tang Dynasty for three hundred years." "It helps people, it is great and powerful, almost out of reach. It's a pity that because of two emperors and three Wang Zhidao, it's a pity to cultivate one's morality, but it's not pure. However, those who are good at it can help them go further and climb higher. "

Gezhi: "I was embarrassed by Bunning, and Ke was finally embarrassed. Emperor Taizong was both an entrepreneur and a holdout. He is not complacent about those who are capable, but afraid of those who are incapable, which leads to the rule of chastity! "

Neo-Confucianist Zhen Xiu De praised: "Later generations are incomparably better people of Taizong, and the balance of chastity cannot be lost."

In the compilation of books in the Ming Dynasty, there was an evaluation of Emperor Taizong: "A gentleman has three great virtues: first, coachable is modest; Second, know people and be good at their duties; The third is the courtesy of loving the people; And those who have never had the virtue of a gentleman in the later generations ... The beauty of the later system can't be added ... to the extreme, and the talents of later generations can't reach it ... "

Bai Juyi's "Seven Virtues Dance" praised Emperor Taizong: saints have an appointment!

Zhang: "There are only two dynasties in the history of China, namely, the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, which pursued the philosophy of Tao. These two empires were the healthiest, luckiest and most advanced countries among all the earth civilizations at that time. The prison is empty, the valuables left on the street are unclaimed, and all citizens are full of confidence. This is because the Z.F of these two dynasties reached the level of propriety. Historians call these two dynasties the golden age of China. "

Zhao Bi: "[Taizong] was spread in the Tang Dynasty in 300 years. During the reign of Emperor Taizong, there was a virtuous assistant and a sage of his eldest grandson. How beautiful is the governance? " Since Qin and Han Dynasties, Cheng Kang has been out of reach. On the real day, hundreds of people in Siyi cried and cut their hair and ears, bleeding all over the floor. It is only because they have the heart of the barbarians in China that they can do this. Mitchell said: Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, only one person has both merits and demerits.

Grossette: "Because of the great achievements of Emperor Taizong, an unpredictable China and a heroic epic China have rewritten the history of civilization that lasted for thousands of years." -(grassland empire)

Mao Zedong: "Since ancient times, there has been no right to Li Shimin, following the ear of Zhu Yuanzhang." [8]

Poplar: "Li Shimin the Great is one of the most outstanding wise monarchs in China. He used his high wisdom to govern his empire diligently and cautiously, and soon created the second golden age of 130 years for China. " "Since the beginning of Pangu, Li Shimin the Great was the first emperor in China who was sincerely praised and worshipped by the people of China. This is due to his achievements and his own virtues. His words and deeds in governing the country have become the norm for all emperors in the future. " -Outline of China People's History

Li Ao: "Emperor Taizong is the most exotic hero in history. He has everything from tenderness to chivalry. In the political struggle to conquer the world, he certainly has the same thunderbolt means as human beings, but in addition to these political "vulgar feelings", he also has many "strange feelings" that make the country colorful and add luster to mankind.

Taoyuan in the snowy area praised: courtiers should keep the politics of chastity, choose the best people in the world and use them, appoint them, guide them, and make the best use of them and be reasonable. Fang, Du Liangxiang, Gao and Ma Ganchen. Wei Gu, Ma Zhou Xianda. Taking Li Yinggong and Li as heroes, encore cannot be the basis of heroism! It occupied the Turkish Emirates in the north and Guangdong and Guangxi in the south. Yang Wei Xi Chui, Dejing Dongyu. He Jisheng also! Huang Wen's achievement is fierce, and he can't catch up with it after a few times. As a result, Tang Taizong, who lived in the DPRK for 23 years, decentralized his words and knew people well. Brilliant political achievements, clear politics, clean government, and people live and work in peace and contentment. Be strong! There is only one person through the ages.
