Dajing was born in 659 AD and died in 746 AD. He is the17th generation grandson of Zhong You, a famous calligrapher of the Three Kingdoms, and the first prime minister of Jiangnan. There are two famous calligraphers named Zhong in history, who are called "Big Clock" in Zhong You and "Jason Chung" in Zhong Shaojing. Jiangxi local chronicles are listed as one of the "top ten rural sages", and their historical fame is no small matter.
In history, Tang Ruizong appointed Zhong Shaojing as the "official minister". Li Shimin, the official in charge of imperial edicts in ancient times, served as the official in charge of imperial edicts, so it was not easily awarded to others in the Tang Dynasty. According to the explanation of the entry in Ci Hai: "Until the Tang Dynasty, people who had no special expectations were not given this official, and those who served as prime ministers were mostly given assistant ministers of Zhongshu (or Gate), who were also the general affairs of Zhongshu Gate." According to the official system in the early Tang Dynasty, Zhong Shuling was called "Prime Minister" by later generations. The old saying that Zhang Jiuling in northern Guangdong is the first prime minister in the south of the Yangtze River is misinformed. Zhang Jiuling became prime minister 24 years later than Zhong Shaojing. Accurately speaking, in the state power south of the Yangtze River, the first prime minister was Shao Jing. This has become an indisputable fact and historical conclusion.
Zhong Shaojing, an old cousin of Gannan, is a descendant of Hakka. Its ancestor is a noble family in Hubei. In order to avoid the "Hou Jing Rebellion", their ancestors moved their families to the south, and finally chose to settle in Xingguo County, Nankang County, Jiangnan West Road.
Shao Jing was a famous calligrapher before entering politics. His outstanding talent stems from his diligent study and hard training when he was young. Reading rocks at night in the east corner of Shangshe Village in Changgang still leaves many anecdotes about his reading poetry books and diligent calligraphy. He was once "neck and neck" with Zhong You, the sai-jo, and was praised as "the best calligrapher" by the world. Therefore, the history books call Zhong You the "big clock" and Shao Jing the "Jason Chung", which shows that Shao Jing's calligraphy has reached its peak.
Shao Jing was very poor when she was a child, and she came from humble origins. He relied on his own talents to enter the Chang 'an yamen in Kyoto. As a clerk who did farming for the first time in the imperial court, although his official position was humble, his calligraphy art was outstanding. Thanks to the patron of Bole, Pei Xingjian, the minister of the Ministry of War, he had the opportunity to be promoted to the position of "Zhifengge", the core of imperial power. "New Tang Book" contains: "Zhong Shaojing, a native of Guizhou and Jiangxi. At the beginning, I worked as a clerk for the four farmers, and my calligraphy entered the' straight phoenix pavilion'. Since then, Gong Jue, Tang Ming and Ming Jiuding have all written works. " It serves to show that he became a great master in the palace at that time, and the house numbers, plaques and couplets in the palace were all written by Mo Bao.
Between Tang Zhongzong and the Year of the Dragon, he was promoted to "Director of Palace Garden" and "Managing Palace Affairs" and became a big housekeeper. From an unknown junior, Yue Longmen, to a "three-product" senior official, people have to sit up and take notice. When Wu Zetian's regime of Wu Zhou was subverted, he colluded with Wu Sansi, nephew of Wu Hou, and launched the "Wei Rebellion", which usurped state affairs at one stroke. The crown prince bears a grudge against Webster's misconduct and secretly negotiates with Zuo Duozuo to kill Wu Sansi. Unexpectedly, Webster was cunning and poisoned first, killing not only Li Zhongjun, but also Tang Zhongzong. Later, Webster supported the puppet emperor Shaodi to ascend to the throne, grabbed the class and seized power, and succeeded in one fell swoop. From the central government to the local government, he excluded dissidents and installed cronies, which made everyone in the civil and military circles feel unsafe and nervous. Fortunately, Li Dan's third son, Li Longji, realized that he had been vigilant and avoided the accident.
