In Quzhou Xianyan Cave, there are dense inscriptions from the Northern Song Dynasty. Next to the stone inscription with Yang Jie's inscription, there is another stone inscription. Although the weathering has made the writing unclear, it is still legible, with four lines of ***, Sixteen characters, from left to right, the text is:
Yang Jinglue
Kang Gonglu
The tenth month of the first year of Yuanfeng
Twenty-three days
Let's first look at the character "逰". "逰" is a variant of "you". Ancient calligraphers liked to use "辶谰" or "游". However, Guanyou Maoxian named the stone carving because it was his surname, which was next to his father's name.
There is no record of Yang Jinglue's inscription in the "Quzhou Prefecture Chronicles" of Kangxi and the "Qu County Chronicles" of Zheng Yongxi. So, who is Yang Jinglue?
According to the "History of the Song Dynasty, Foreign Biography III, Goryeo": "Yang Jinglue wrote Li Zhiyi's letter. The emperor was not known for his rituals and writings, so he should be knowledgeable and knowledgeable. Yu Zhengxiu was summoned to Zhongshu, and he was sent to write. "At that time, the Northern Song Dynasty had good relations with Goryeo, and the Goryeo government and the public respected literature. "History of Goryeo: Wen Zong" records: "Whenever a written edict is given, a minister must be selected to write it and a good one will be selected. The envoy sent will be summoned to the Zhongshu Examination to write the edict before he is sent." Therefore, in the Northern Song Dynasty, The imperial court had high requirements for the literary talent of its envoys. Li Zhiyi once wrote a masterpiece in "Bu Shuzi": "I live at the head of the Yangtze River, and you live at the end of the Yangtze River. I miss you every day without seeing you, and I drink the water of the Yangtze River every day..." However, Shenzong of the Song Dynasty actually regarded Li Zhiyi as "unworthy of literary reputation." "In the sixth year of Yuanfeng, there were several people recommended by Yousi Que, the Prime Minister, and Shenzong said: 'Yang can be appointed to the post.'" In the end, Yang Jinglue was selected as the best candidate. It seems that this person's poetry and prose skills are quite impressive.
In the sixth year of Yuanfeng (1083), the sixth year of Emperor Shenzong of the Song Dynasty, Yang Jinglue was appointed as Chengyi Lang Zuosi Langzhong, and he and Wang Shunfeng were ordered to go to Korea as envoys. The Han Dynasty stone chamber in Xiaotang Mountain, Changqing County, Shandong Province, was inscribed by Yang Jinglue and others who were envoys to Korea. The inscription is engraved on the stone pillar in the middle of the front of the stone chamber, in regular script and five lines: "Zuo Jianyi, the official of Henan Province, Yang Jinglue, Kang Gong, the concierge envoy of Taiyuan, Shun Feng, the chief minister of Gaoli, paid a courtesy visit to the temple on December 17, the sixth year of Yuanfeng. In the Song Dynasty, Li Zhiyi, Wang Yan, Pan Liren and Yang Jinglue were envoys to Korea."
Regarding Yang Jinglue, Su Song, a famous astronomer, astronomical machinery manufacturer and pharmacologist in the Northern Song Dynasty, once wrote "Longtu Pavilion to be prepared". "Yangzhou Yang Gong's Epitaph", praised him: "I especially like reading, and there is nothing else to do except daily life. I often take pleasure in the gains and losses of the school. I have more than 10,000 volumes of books in my collection, and I still keep rewriting them. He also collects Zhou Dynasty books. Since the Qin Dynasty, there have been seven thousand volumes of inscriptions on gold and stone, which are used to test the lost history of Shuwu and Fu Fang. His debates are comprehensive and comprehensive, and he has written fifteen volumes of "Collected Works" and two volumes of "Xiye Cao". , three volumes of "Report", one volume of "Regulation Chronology", twelve volumes of "Fengshi Juli Congchao", and ten volumes of "Shaolin laymen's hearing and seeing records". "We know the epitaph of Yangzhou Yang Gong from "Longtuge to be compiled". In "Inscription", it can be seen that Yang Jinglue was good at reading and poetry.
Yang Jinglue, courtesy name Kanggong, was born in Luoyang. He is good at poetry and prose, and good at eloquence. He wrote many poems and poems with Su Shi, Qin Guan and others.
In Linqing Cave, Lingyin, Hangzhou, there is also a stone carving with Yang Jinglue's name. Li Cong and other Lingyin stone inscriptions of Song Dynasty inscribed:

This title has six lines on the left and a character diameter of about 7 cm. In regular script, the inscription here is written with calmness and force, the knots are compact, and the characters are open. The calligraphy was written by Lin Xi, a famous official in the Northern Song Dynasty. It can be called a masterpiece of calligraphy by literati in the Song Dynasty. In the sixth year of Yuanyou (1091), Lin Xi succeeded Su Shi as the magistrate of Hangzhou and inscribed the name "Su Gong Causeway", hence the name Su Causeway.
Li Cong, courtesy name Xianfu, was born in Jiangning. In the second year of Yuanfeng, Emperor Shenzong of the Song Dynasty (1079), he sent judges from the Ministry of Household Affairs to Jiang and Zhejiang. It can be inferred from this that the inscriptions left by Lin Xi, Yang Jinglue and others were related to Li Cong's visit to Jiang and Zhejiang as judges in the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Yang Jinglue also left a stone inscription with an inscription in Jinyun Xianshui Cave:
Yang Jinglue

It was also on August 22 of this year that Yang Jinglue traveled to Yandang Mountain in Yueqing, Wenzhou, and inscribed his name under the few steps north of the Jinxi Stone Inscription:

.
Xining Ding was the tenth year of Xining (1077). The stone inscription is 103 centimeters high and 43 centimeters wide. It has three lines, written in regular script and straight from left to right.
From the tenth year of Xining (1077) to the second year of Yuanfeng (1079), Yang Jinglue left four inscriptions on Jinyun Xianshui Cave, Yueqing Yandang Mountain, Quzhou Xianyan Cave, and Hangzhou Lingyin Linqing Cave in Zhejiang. Stone carving.
During this period, in May of the 10th year of Xining, Zhao Pian, a famous sage from Quzhou, learned about Yuezhou and was a bachelor of Zizhengdian. Shaobao became an official and returned to his hometown. In other words, Yang Jinglue visited Quzhou Xianyan Cave not only because of its fame, but also because of Zhao Qingxian Gong.
In August of the seventh year of Yuanfeng (1084), Zhao Peng died at his home in Quzhou. Only three years later, Yang Jinglue "died ill in August of the first year of Yuanyou (1087), and Ding Wei died in the state at the age of forty-seven." In this way, Yang Jinglue and Zhao Qingxian could sing poetry together in the Buddhist paradise.
