Yan Shu was smart and eager to learn since he was a child. At the age of five, he was able to write poetry, and he was known as a "child prodigy". In the first year of Jingdezhen (14), Jiangnan heard about Zhang Zhibai and strongly recommended him to Beijing. The following year, 14-year-old Yan Shu and thousands of candidates from all over the country entered the temple to take the exam at the same time, taking the exam calmly, helping the writer to become a scholar, and was rewarded by the true Sect and given the same background as a scholar. On the third day, when I re-examined "Fu", I read the title and said: I have done this assignment before, and I request to change it. His honesty and talent were even more appreciated by the true Sect, and his secretary was granted to save business and stay in the secret pavilion for further study. He studied hard and made friends carefully, which won the esteem of Chen Pengnian, the Chinese embassy. For three years, he was called to try the Chinese book and served as a ritual lang in Taichang Temple. In the first year of Dazhong Xiangfu (18), he was appointed as Guanglu Temple; The following year, I called for a bachelor's college to manage Jixian; For three years, I worked as a writer. In seven years, with the true Sect, he offered sacrifices to the Taiqing Palace in Bozhou, gave silverfish in clothes, ordered the repair of the sermon, and sentenced him to the Taichang Courtyard and Taichang Temple. Later, Zuo Zhengyan, Zhi Shi Guan, Wang Fu Ji Shi Guan joined the army, the minister of ministers, Yuan Wailang, and the Prince Scheeren, who had the right to make an imperial edict, were awarded the Hall of Jixian. In the fourth year of Tianxi (12), he was a bachelor of Hanlin and a bastard of Zuo. He is knowledgeable and capable, and whenever he encounters difficult problems, Zhenzong often consults him with small pieces of paper and fine books. He also kept his answers carefully sealed, which was adopted by Zhenzong and was regarded as a femoral arm. In the first year of Ganxing (122), Renzong, who was only 1 years old, succeeded to the throne, and Empress Liu listened to politics. Ding Wei Song dynasty, the prime minister, and Cao Liyong, the Tang Dynasty, wanted to monopolize power, but all the officials in the DPRK talked about it and were at a loss. Yan Shu put forward the suggestion of "listening to politics behind the curtain", which was supported by ministers. To this end, he moved to the right to advise the doctor to attend the bachelor's degree and add it to the matter. Later, he served as the assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, the official court, the suburban etiquette ambassador, and the deputy ambassador. Because he opposed Zhang Yi's promotion to the Tang Dynasty, he violated the will of Empress Dowager Liu. In addition, in Yuqing Palace, he was angry and smashed the front teeth of his attendants, and was impeached by the suggestion. In the fifth year of Tiansheng (127), Xuanzhou was known as an assistant minister of punishments, and later it was known as Yingtianfu. During this period, he attached great importance to the development of the academy, vigorously supported Yingtianfu Academy, and invited Fan Zhongyan to give lectures in the academy, thus cultivating a large number of talents. This academy (also known as Suiyang Academy), Bailudong, Shigu and Yuelu are collectively called the four academies in the early Song Dynasty. This is the first time that Yan Shu has started a large-scale education since the Five Dynasties, when schools were repeatedly banned and abolished. In the third year of Qingli's tenure as prime minister, together with Fan Zhongyan, the deputy envoy of the Council, he advocated the establishment of state and county schools and the reform of teaching content, and set up professors in official schools. Since then, there have been official schools from the capital to counties. This is the famous "Celebrating the Calendar and Promoting Learning". In the first year of Ming Dow (132), Yan Shu was promoted to assistant minister (deputy prime minister) and minister Zuo Cheng. In the second year, due to remonstrance, the Empress Dowager "paid a tribute to the ancestral temple", and she was disgraced to Bozhou and Chen Zhou. Five years later, he was appointed as a minister of punishments and an imperial adviser, and was reinstated as a three-department envoy. At that time, Zhao Yuanhao proclaimed himself emperor, established Xixia Kingdom, and sent troops to Shaanxi area, but Song would be defeated repeatedly. Yan Shu comprehensively analyzed the military situation at that time, found the reasons from the defeat, and in view of the existing problems, after inviting Renzong, he did four major events to strengthen armaments: abolishing the internal minister's supervision of the army and giving the army commander the right to decide major military events; Recruit and train archers for combat purposes; Clean up the long-term backlog of property in the palace and subsidize the border customs; Recover the materials occupied by various departments and enrich the state treasury. As a result, Song Jun soon put down the invasion of Xixia. In the second year of Qingli (142), Yan Shu paid homage to the Prime Minister, and added a flat chapter to the Tang Dynasty. In the second year, I checked the history of Qiu's punishment department with Pingzhang, Jinzhong Shumen Pingzhang, a bachelor of Jixian Temple, and a Tang Dynasty envoy. In the fourth year of Qingli, Sun Fu and Cai Xiang impeached him for compiling Li Chenfei's epitaph, and he was demoted to knowing Yingzhou as a minister of the Ministry of Industry. Later, Chen Zhou and Xuzhou were known as ministers of does and punishments. At the age of 6, he learned about Yongxing Army (now Xi 'an, Shaanxi Province) with Shangshu and Guan Wendian. At the age of 63, he knew Henan, moved to the Ministry of Military Affairs, and was named Linzi Gong. At the age of 64, he went back to Beijing for medical treatment due to illness, and stayed on as a waiter to teach the history of the emperor. His etiquette and entourage were the same as those of the prime minister. He died in Kaifeng, Kyoto in 155. Renzong personally went to pay homage, posthumously awarded him a "Yuan Xian", and personally sealed his tablet, saying, "The Monument of Old Learning". Although Yan Shu has been in an important position for many years, he is approachable. He is meritocratic, and Fan Zhongyan, Daofu Kong and Wang Anshi all come from his door. Yan Shu
Han Qi, Fu Bi, Ouyang Xiu, etc. have been cultivated and recommended by him, and all of them have been reused. Han Qi was re-elected as prime minister of Renzong, Yingzong and Shenzong; Fu Bi as Yan Shu's son-in-law, but special Juxian don't avoid relatives, Yan Shu as prime minister, Fu Bi as a council agreement, after the official worship the prime minister. Yan Shu has made many achievements and contributions in literature. He is good at poetry, good at ci, beautiful in articles and skillful in calligraphy, among which ci is the most prominent, and he is known as "the prime minister's poet". His ci, which absorbed the "Huajian School" in the Southern Tang Dynasty and Feng Yansi's elegant and elegant ci style, created the graceful ci style in the Northern Song Dynasty, and was called "the original ancestor of the northern Song Dynasty". His words are beautiful in language, harmonious in tone, emphasizing its spirit in scenery writing, giving life to natural objects and forming its own characteristics. Its "helpless flowers fall, it seems familiar that Yan returns" ("Huanxisha"), "The west wind withered the green trees last night. There are many famous sayings, such as "Climbing alone on a tall building, looking all the way to the end of the world" ("Butterfly Loves Flowers") and "I miss the red candle in Lanting Hall, but my heart is long and my flame is short, and I cry to people" ("Shake Tingqiu"). He wrote more than 1, words in his life, most of which have been lost, and only 136 words of Zhuyu are left. He is not only a pronoun who led the way of Song Ci, the leader of Jiangxi Ci School, but also a prolific poet in the history of China's poetry. There are 16 poems, 59 residual sentences and 3 catalogues in The Whole Song Poetry. There are only 53 essays left in the whole Song Dynasty. There is "The Legacy of Yan Yuanxian" compiled by Qing people. Known as "Fuzhou Eight Yan" (Yan Shu, Yan Jidao, Yan Ying, Yan Fu, Yan Jing, Yan Song, Yan Zhao, Yan Fang). Yan Shu has been an official in the DPRK for more than 5 years, but he is always haunted by the mountains and rivers in his hometown. His poems, Chongyin Temple (in Jinxian County today), Jinyuan Garden (in the campus of Fuzhou No.1 Middle School today) and Magu Mountain, express his love for his hometown. People in my hometown also miss and revere this "prime minister poet", and there is a street in Fuzhou city that is named "Tongshu Road". In addition, there are Yan Shu Memorial Pavilion, Jinbiyuan Poetry Monument and Eryan Bridge (also known as Erxian Bridge).
