Li Shimin was born in 598 AD and died in 649 AD at the age of 51. Li Shimin's life is a legendary life. Li Shimin showed extraordinary talent and ability when he was a teenager. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, Li Shimin persuaded his father Li Yuan to raise troops in Jinyang to rebel against the Sui Dynasty. After that, Li Shimin led his soldiers to win countless battles, and the mention of King Qin's illustrious reputation also frightened the enemy. Li Shimin fought for many years and made unparalleled contributions to Li Yuan's establishment of the Tang Dynasty. This can be regarded as "military power to determine the future".
After Li Yuan ascended the throne, his sons fought to the death for the right to inherit the throne, and Li Shimin became the final winner. After the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Li Shimin ascended the throne as emperor. Li Shimin advocates culture. As we all know, he loved Wang Xizhi's calligraphy so much that many of Wang Xizhi's original works were taken underground as his burial objects. Li Shimin was not a reckless man who could only lead troops to fight. He also liked to write poetry and left more than 80 poems. His literary achievements were also very high. Li Shimin was good at using talents to govern the country. In his era, famous prime ministers such as Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Wei Zheng appeared. Under Li Shimin's governance, the Tang Dynasty reached its peak in a short period of time, ushering in the era of "Government of Zhenguan". Therefore, Li Shimin also deserves the saying "Literature can bring peace to the world with his pen".
From a modern point of view, Chairman Mao is also worthy of the evaluation: "Wen can bring peace to the world with his pen, and his force can make peace with his horse." Chairman Mao was not only a leader and revolutionary, but also a poet and calligrapher, as well as a strategist and thinker. Many of Mao Zedong's poetry works are widely praised by people. Many of his famous lines are majestic and exquisite, showing his extremely high cultural quality. Chairman Mao's calligraphy is also self-contained, magnificent and unique. It has extremely high artistic achievements and is known as "Mao style". Chairman Mao also wrote many articles, which contained many wise sayings, showing his profound philosophy and his wise thoughts.
Not to mention, under the leadership of Chairman Mao, the Chinese people were able to overthrow the oppression of the old society and become the masters. During this period, they experienced countless baptisms of blood and fire, especially the Red Army's Long March, The War of Liberation and the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea after the founding of the People's Republic of China fully demonstrated Chairman Mao's far-sighted strategic thinking and tactical strategies. It was only through the joint efforts of Chairman Mao and the older generation of proletarian revolutionaries that a good foundation was laid for us to build a new era.
"Wen can bring peace to the world with his pen, and military can mount a horse to determine the world. Whoever has a strategy in mind can win. The only hero of ancient and modern times is the king." This poem comes from "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms", one of the four famous works, and is also written by Luo Guanzhong Evaluation of Jiang Wei. Jiang Wei was a famous general in the Shu Han Dynasty and was highly used by Zhuge Liang. He led his army in 11 Northern Expeditions, winning 5 times, drawing 4 times and failing 2 times. It can be said that his record is impressive. After Zhuge Liang's death, Jiang Wei still wanted to regain Shu Han on his own, but Liu Chan surrendered and Jiang Wei was killed. In addition to his achievements on the battlefield, Jiang Wei was also good at literature. His biography "Pu Yuan Farewell" also occupies a place in the history of Chinese literature.
