Kou Zhun's reading was unknown in the Song Dynasty. Kou Shu (961-1023101October 24th) was born in Xiaao, Huazhou (now Weinan, Shaanxi). Politicians and poets in the Northern Song Dynasty.
In the first year of Jingdezhen (1004), he and Bi, both counselors, were both prime ministers (the same as Pingzhang). That winter, the Khitan (Liao State) invaded the Song Dynasty, surrounded Jizhou and other Hebei areas, and shocked the ruling and opposition parties. Kou Shu opposed the southward migration and advocated the true race, thus stabilizing the morale of the army and making the Song and Liao sides conclude a "Yuan League".
In the fourth year of your life (1053), Song Renzong wrote a letter to erect a monument for him, and wrote the word "Zhong Jing" at the head of the monument, naming him Lai Gong, posthumously awarding him the title of state secretariat, and posthumous title as "loyalty". Therefore, later generations often call him Cheng or Ke Lai Gong. Together with Bai Juyi and Zhang Renyuan, they are called "the three sages of Weinan". Koushu is good at poetry, and his seven poems are particularly charming. There are three volumes of Kui's poems handed down.
Major achievements:
Deyuan abdicated from Liao Dynasty.
Kou Shu's main achievement is that when the Liao army was besieged, he urged Song Zhenzong to make a personal expedition and repelled the Liao attack. In the autumn of the first year of Jingdezhen (1004), the news of Liao army's southward movement reached Kaifeng, and the capital was shaken. Song Tingjun and his ministers panicked, and some ministers advocated moving the capital to avoid danger.
Many people advocate fleeing south to Jinling (now Nanjing) or west to Sichuan. Uncle Kou pushed his way through the crowd and insisted on true clan affiliation. Wang Qinruo, who was elected by KouShu to take part in politics, guarded Tianxiong Army (ruling the northeast of Daming, Hebei Province), while Zhao Yuan, the king of harmony, stayed in Bianjing and went out with the army.
Song Zhenzong went to the named city himself, but he was afraid to cross the river. KouShu and Gao Qiong urged Zhenzong to cross the river and ordered the guards to drive the emperor's car to Yizhou City in the north. When Song Zhenzong arrived in the northern counties, the morale of the soldiers and civilians in the Northern Song Dynasty was greatly boosted. Song Zhenzong returned to Cheng Nan Palace after a symbolic tour. Uncle Kou was in charge of directing the operations in the northern city until he forced Liao to stop fighting and negotiate peace.
Develop Leizhou
When Uncle Kou was demoted to Leizhou, he spread the culture of the Central Plains, guided local residents to learn Zhongzhou dialect, and promoted the communication between local people and the Central Plains. Teach advanced agricultural production technology, build water conservancy, open canals to divert water to irrigate fertile fields and promote economic development; Explain astronomy and geography to the masses and get rid of fallacies and heresies; At the same time, Zhenwu Hall was built to admit students to study literature and art, so that future generations of villagers could also study, which promoted the development of Leizhou civilization.
Literary works
Koushu has also made great achievements in literary creation. He has been very clever since he was a child. When I was seven years old, I went to Huashan with my father, leaving "only the sky is above, and there is no mountain." Look up at the red sun and look down at the white clouds. Koushu was friends with Pan Lang, Ye Wei and Nine Monks in the early Song Dynasty, and his poetic style was similar, so he was also included in the Late Tang School.
