Ji Xu (1162 ~1214), also known as Yuan Wen, was born in Songtaili, Yongjia, Zhejiang. His ancestral home is Xuzhuangyuan Lane, Anhai, Jinjiang, Fujian, and he is a descendant of Xu Hui, the champion of the Tang Dynasty. Chaozhou Taishouding Imperial Examination began in Yongjia, Wenzhou. The third son Xu Ding from Jinjiang, Fujian, was named "Shi Zhi En" by his father. He lives in floating counties, is honest and upright for officials, abides by the law, and has done useful things for the people. During Jian' an's tenure, he appeased the people of Maxi, "three people are guilty"; Producer tribute tea, refused to take more, moved to Yongzhou manager, and the military officer held the people as a tribute. Once Ji Xu finds out, he will be released. As the magistrate of Longxi County, the village tycoon occupied the pond. After investigation, he recovered his old view, and then transferred his martial arts to the present, intending to go on an official tour from Ye Shi, but he was imprisoned before. "Poetry and Zhao Xuru are like one hand, covering four spirits and one axis, and two talents are especially similar" (Ji Yun, Catalogue of Sikuquanshu) has Poems of Erjiting. I also like calligraphy, "no food to paper and pen;" The following year, the book was slightly closer to Lanting (Ye Shi's Epitaph of Xu) and later changed to Changtai Ling. He died before he reached the official position.

family background

Ji Xu's father, Xu Ding, is a scholar named Xu CuO in Anhai, Jinjiang, Quanzhou, Fujian. His official residence is Chaozhou Taishou, and his family moved from Jinjiang to Yongjia and lived in Songtai. Weng Juan, who is also known as the "Four Spirits of Yongjia" with Ji Xu, once wrote a poem "Send Ji Xu to Longxi in late autumn and cross the old lane in the south of Quancheng": "Elegant sentences in the volume are hard to compare with famous craftsmen. I am close to Wei Lu, and my hometown is very old. There are many chrysanthemums on the trip, and the luggage is half filled with books. If you don't believe in civilized generations, no one will recommend you. " The title of the poem "Quannan Old Lane" and the poem "Laosu" point out that Ji Xu's hometown is in Quanzhou (Quannan), and Ji Xu once returned to his former residence of Xu Zhuangyuan Lane in Jinjiang when he went to work in Longxi County.

Ji Xu also wrote Quanshan Collection, which is Qingyuan Mountain in northern quanzhou county. It can be seen that although Ji Xu was sent abroad, he still did not forget his ancestral home. In his life, Ji Xu got this position because of his father's "kindness to the world". His official career is ups and downs, honest and clean, law-abiding, and he has done many useful things for the people. During his tenure in Jian 'an (now Jian 'ou, Fujian), he appeased the people of Maxi, "only three people were guilty"; Supervise the production of tribute tea and refuse to take more. When the manager of Yongzhou (now Hunan) joined the army, local officers and men arrested civilians and urged taxes. Ji Xu found and released them one by one.

The county magistrate Cheng of Longxi (now Zhangzhou, Fujian) was occupied by rich people in the village. After investigation, he recovered his old views. Later, the Wudang Order (now Yunxian East, Hubei Province) was changed to Changtai Order, and it was planned to go to the official from Yeshi, and it would die before it arrived. /"Yongjia Siling Poetry" received two volumes of Ji Xu's poems, leaving only one volume; And the Wilting Collection, with 164 poems. According to the records in Sikuquanshu in Qing Dynasty, Xu Guiyou had Quanshan Collection, which was lost at that time. Ji Xu also likes calligraphy. "No one eats paper and pens, and the book of the year after next is closer to Lanting."

Literary works

Ji Xu and his three fellow friends-Zhao Xu, Hui Ling, Weng Juan, Lingshu, Zhao Shixiu and Lingxiu-collectively called the "Four Spirits" and created the so-called "Jianghu School". The "Four Spirits" learn from Jia Dao and Yao He, flaunting the wild and thin style, with narrow themes, shallow poetry and even triviality. Ji Xu is no exception. There are five laws to recite, such as "Huang Bi": "Huang Biping is on the sandy shore, and Liu Sechun is in the pond. Clear water knows good wine, thin mountains know the poor. Chicken dog Tian Jiajing. Sang Ma is old and new. Meet a traveler. Half of them are Yongjia people. " The seven verses can be recited, such as "New Cool": "Water is full of rice leaves, sunlight penetrates the trees and smoke is low. Huang Li also loves new cool and good, flying over the green hills. "

The Collection of Springs and Mountains written by Xu Qian has been lost. His Poems of Wilting have a volume of 1, among which "Collection of Jingxiang Building" is also included in the anthology of Southern Song Dynasty.
