Cai Yungong is handsome, personable and good at writing prose. He was a minister, historian and writer in the late Sui and early Tang Dynasties.
During the Western Liang Dynasty, he was Zuo Lang. After voting for Chen Guo, he was awarded the Doctor of the Ministry of Finance. When I was in Chang 'an, I became friends with the calligrapher Yu Shinan, who introduced me. I was invited to be the squire of Emperor Yang Di and gave him a living. Yang Di once sent him to teach the imperial secretary. He was ashamed of it and repeatedly said that he was ill, so he was alienated.
After the collapse of the Sui Dynasty, he followed Xu Di Yu Wenhuaji and Wang Xia Dou Jiande successively. In the Tang Dynasty, he was recommended by Yu Shinan to join the army, and became a bachelor of arts in Ce Tian, the king of Qin, and one of the 18 bachelors in Qin Gong.
The so-called "Eighteen Bachelor of Qin Gong" was an eighteen talented person recruited by Emperor Taizong when he was the king of Qin, and opened a "Literature Museum" in Chang 'an. These eighteen people are: Du Ruhui, with Fang and Yu Shinan as the documents, Chu Liang and Yao Silian as the deacons, Li Xuandao as the first chair, Cai Yungong, Xue and Yan joining the army, Su Xu negotiating and signing the contract, Ce Tian Prefecture engaged in corps commander Yu Zhining, Su Shichang as the strategist to offer wine, and Xue Shou, Cang Shousu, Lu Deming, Kong Ying Da, Xin Du changed to Wenda and Guo Zi as the teaching assistants. These eighteen people were called "eighteen bachelors", and Emperor Taizong attached great importance to them. Whenever he returned to the DPRK after entering the DPRK, Emperor Taizong often introduced Jinshi and discussed epitaphs. Shang Lue's previous works are elegant and rare, and the kindness of your monarch and his subjects is rare for generations.
Emperor Taizong ordered the painter Yan to be a portrait of eighteen bachelors, which was called eighteen bachelors in history; He also ordered Chu Liang to praise these portraits one by one. The portrait was engraved with the name and title, which was a great honor at that time and was collected as a court file. At that time, people felt extremely honored to be selected into the literature museum. "Book of the Tang Dynasty" records: "Those who entered the museum in advance were admired at that time and called it' going to Yingzhou'". Historical Records of Qin Shihuang contains a letter from Xu (Xu Fuzhi's work) and others to Qin Shihuang, saying that there are three sacred mountains in the sea, Penglai, Abbot and Yingzhou, for immortals to live in. At that time, the person who was elected to the Literature Museum by Emperor Taizong was called "Deng Yingzhou", which originated from this. Later generations had the so-called "Eighteen Scholars Boarded Yingzhou", and later generations drew the "Eighteen Scholars Chess Map" because Emperor Taizong often played chess with eighteen scholars.
After the change of Xuanwu Gate, the Literature Museum was dissolved, but the 18th Bachelor was still trusted by Emperor Taizong. In August of the tenth year of Wude, Emperor Taizong ascended the throne, and in early September, a "Hong Wen Pavilion" was set up on the side of the temple to select all the scribes in the world. Cai Yungong resumed his college career. He and Yao Silian are kindred spirits. Emperor Taizong listened to Chaoxian's words and introduced Cai Yungong and others into the inner hall. He talks to them about the past and the present, talks about business, and idles away all day. Cai Yungong also exhibited the charm of Dai Dan, which was highly praised by Emperor Taizong. Later, he was promoted to be the coach of Prince Li Chenggan. Later, ordered by Emperor Taizong, he became the envoy of Xiao Yu and other branches of the world. Cai Yungong died at home because of old age.
According to records, Cai Yungong was buried on the seventh day of the first month of the first year of Zhenguan in Yutou Mountain, New Li En, Longxi County, with the word "Deng Ying" carved on the left in front of the tomb. Its land is called, today's tomb still exists, and its descendants live around Lu.
Longxi County is an old place name in Fujian, originally belonging to Zhangzhou. Due to the evolution of administrative divisions, Longxi County and Haicheng County merged into Longhai County. The former New Li En in Longxi County now belongs to Haicang District, Xiamen City, Fujian Province. Cai Yungong, originally from Jiangling, Jingzhou (or Kaocheng, Jiyang), originally from Haicang? This is recorded in Minnan Cai's Genealogy and Haicang County Records.
According to the records of Cai's genealogy, Cai Yungong was buried in the head of Xin Li 'en Island in Longxi County after his death, and his descendants lived around the tomb. In Song Dynasty, Wu Sui, a Jinshi from Tong 'an, wrote the word "Deng Ying" on the stone beside his tomb, so Yutou was also called Deng Ying Depression.
There is also a corresponding record in the Chongzhen edition of Haicheng County Records: "Cai Yungong was one of the 18 bachelors who went to Yingzhou in the Tang Dynasty. According to Cai's genealogy, he went to Fujian in his last life, lived in Xianyou and then moved to Quanzhou. It spread to the great cause, that is, the father of Yungong, and later to Liang, who hated officials and kept the people in history. Yungong entered Emperor Taizong, washed horses for the bachelor and the prince, gave them back in his later years, died at home, and was buried behind Aotou Mountain in New Li En, Longxi County, Quanzhou. The stone on the left side of the tomb has the word "Deng Ying" written by Wu Sui in Shangshu. Its place name is Ao, and later it lived around the mausoleum, and divided clans, such as Jin 'anhai, Longshuitou, Chengzhi and Pubikeng, all took the bachelor of Ao Tou as the clan. "
? The records in Haicheng County Records are basically the same as those in Liu Jiang Cai's Genealogy, but the place names in Yutou and Aotou are different.
Cai Yungong lived in the Sui and Tang Dynasties and was a recorded figure in Tang books. Many Chuas in southern Fujian associate their primitive ancestors with them, and regard "Cai Yungong, a bachelor of Deng Ying" as the ancestor who entered Fujian and "Yutou Weng" as the ancestor who started.
As for whether this is the case, as noted in Haicheng County Records, "Those who wanted to let Gong's descendants enter Fujian at the end of the Tang Dynasty were buried here, so they marked the world as' Deng Ying' and talked about it." What's going on? I really can only "talk about it for the exam."
Cai Yungong is the author of Ten Volumes of Spring and Autumn Annals of the Back Beam and Twenty Volumes of Collected Works of Cai Yungong. Today, there is only one poem "Wind and Chuying to Huai Ying Mausoleum":
Tired of painting songs in Sichuan for a long time, I suddenly look forward to it.
It has a wide wavelength and looks like love.
I feel that the sun is turning, and I gradually see the brocade sails.
To know benevolence, eulogize the way.
There is a poem entitled "Wind and a Summer Tour" in the Complete Works of Tang Poetry, which is signed by Cai Wengong, but his life has not been tested. The view that people lived in the prosperous Tang Dynasty in Volume Kloc-0/08 is said to be a misunderstanding of Cai Yungong, a figure in Sui and Tang Dynasties. The appendix of the poem "Wind and Summer Tour" here is as follows:
In early summer, the forests and valleys are clear, and the dusk is misty.
Even the rocks are towering, and the valley is near thousands of feet.
Flowers are fresh in the evening, and the sunset glow flows.
Use your head leisurely, have a rest, and drive for real rewards.
I'm trying to make a living, Zlobin thought.
Steal, blow, etc. Why do you want to use the grace award?
