Yuan You Party History Monument

According to historical records, there are three stone carvings about party member, Yuan You: First, in the first year of Chongning (1 102), Zhao Hui, the emperor of Hui Zong, was engraved in a real book at the Rite Gate of Neifu, which was not destroyed; Second, Cai Jing wrote it in the second year of Chongning, and ordered the States to publish it. The following year, it was also destroyed by a letter; The third one was placed outside the Wende Hall. After five years of worshipping Ning, the world was pardoned and the monument was destroyed. None of the party member Monuments that once stood in counties have been preserved.

What about the existing monuments in Rongshui Miao Autonomous County? At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty and the beginning of the Southern Song Dynasty, some people blamed Wang Anshi's political reform for the formation of Zhao Song's diplomatic dilemma, and wanted to "cultivate ancestors and preach" and "talk about the right path of Confucius and Mencius". As soon as a small court was established in the Southern Song Dynasty, Confucius (Cheng Yi Neo-Confucianism) was greatly respected to ban the Party, praising the conservative events in the Northern Song Dynasty, and the "Yuan You traitor" created by treacherous court official Cai Jing was purged. Conservative officials listed as "Yuan You party member" have been posthumously sealed or knighted and renamed as "Zhongxian County, Yuan You". Gao Zong also reversed the verdict of Sima Guang and others.

After decades of persecution, the descendants of the Yuan You Party, in their proud days, actually carved the old monument to vent their anger. There are only two pieces in existence, one in Guilin, which is a figure of eight carved by jinliang, the great-grandson of party member Liang Dao, in the stone room of Long Yin in the 4th year of Qingyuan in the Southern Song Dynasty (1 198). The other is in Xianyan, Rongshui Town, carved by Shen Yong, the great grandson of Shen Qian, party member, for four years (12 1 1).

After the Yuan You Party was rehabilitated, the official went to Shen Yong to take charge of military affairs in Rongzhou and persuade farmers. He carved the stone tablet according to the original rubbings of Yuan You's party history tablet and placed it in Laojun Cave. The monument is154cm high and 82cm wide. The tablet computer is divided into four parts. The first part of the monument "Yuan You Party History Monument" was written by Song Huizong, the second part of the monument preface and the third part of the party name were written by Cai Jing, and the fourth part was written by Shen Yong.

This monument that melts water attracts the world's attention. Although it was used to build a cesspit during the Cultural Revolution, it was later broken at the lower third when it was moved, but it had no effect on the whole monument and handwriting. It is said to be a treasure and a national first-class cultural relic, because it is a rare thing: the inscription of "Yuan You Party Monument" is "Mo Bao" in Evonne, Song Huizong; Preface to Monument and List of party member were both written by Cai Jing, both of which are rare original works.

As far as the content of "Yuan You Party History Monument" is concerned, there is nothing worthy of praise. It's just a fragment of the struggle between cronies in the North Song Dynasty and the DPRK. Similar party struggles have occurred in the history of China, such as those in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the dispute between Niu and Li in the Tang Dynasty, and the "party member" in the Song Dynasty. This kind of thing has happened in almost every dynasty and generation since then. The content of the inscription alone has no cultural value, but this monument should not be abandoned for anything. What's commendable is that it left a generation of calligraphy masters, Zhao Ji and Cai Jing, which are really valuable!
