What kind of person is Teng in history? What's his personality like?

What kind of person is Teng? What is his personality and style of writing? Teng (990- 1047), a native of Luoyang, Henan Province, lost his father at an early age and was raised by his mother, Mrs. Diao, and his siblings. In the eighth year, Dazhong Xiangfu and Fan Zhongyan were promoted to Jinshi together. Started working in Weifang, Dalian and Taizhou. Taizhou military commander Tian Shengzhong (about 1025) was recommended by Fan Zhongyan, then the prefect of Xinghua County, as an assistant to build a seawall with Taizhou's well-known Zhang Lun, showing amazing courage and talent. From the fourth year of Tiansheng to the ninth year of Tiansheng, he was called to take an examination of the Academy, and later served as the official of Dali Temple, knowing that Dangtu (now dangtu county, Anhui Province) and Shaowu (now Shaowu, Fujian Province) were county magistrates. In his first year in office, Ming Dow was transferred to Beijing. In the first month of the first year of Jing You, he was appointed as Zuo Yan Zheng, and in August, he moved to Zuo Si to remonstrate with you. Because of his outspoken admonition, he was demoted as a member of Shangshu Yuanwailang Zhixinzhou (now Shangrao City, Jiangxi Province). In the second year of Youjing, Zong Liang was sarcastic with Fan Ya and sent Chizhou wine to prison. At the beginning of Baoyuan, he transferred jiangning house (now Nanjing) to be punished, and soon moved to Huzhou to establish Huzhou Sinology. In the first year of Kangding, Yuan Hao of Xixia rebelled, moved the official of the Ministry of Punishment to Yuan Wailang, and was also known as Jixian Hospital, which was well known in Jingzhou. Because of his good border management and outstanding military exploits, in November of the second year of Li Qing, Fan Zhongyan recommended him to move to Tengzongliang, Jingzhou, to celebrate the road deployment and know Qingzhou. In September of the third year of Li Qing, when Fan Zhongyan began to implement the Qingli New Deal, he suggested that Liang Jian and Jian Zheng illegally beat Teng's money in Jingzhou, so they moved to Tengzongliang Zhifengxiang House. In the first month of Li Qing's fourth year, I learned that Zhou Guo was in the same position. Wang, Cheng Zhongcheng played again: He said that he embezzled the money of the minister and only cut one official, which was too light to sit still and was dismissed again. In February, Teng Zongliang, a migrant state, knew Yuezhou. In the spring of Li Qing's seventh year, he moved to Suzhou magistrate for less than a month. People praised his ability to govern, and Russians were disgusted with Don Juan County. Buried in the scarab (chicken) plateau in the south of Qingyang County, Chizhou.

Through a brief description of Teng's bumpy life, we should have a general understanding of him. What about his personality and style of writing? Here are a few examples to see the leopard.

Fan Zhongyan's Epitaph that Teng Jun Will Stand in Tianzhangge contains: When Teng Gong was building a seawall in Taizhou, one day, a storm surge started, and all the soldiers fled in panic. Only he took the bull by the horns, calmly stopped the soldiers and the masses who wanted to leave the coast, and took the lead to take risks and defend the seawall. Fan Zhongyan, who was also the on-site producer at that time, paid tribute to him and became a close friend until his death.

According to the book "Continuing the Capital and Governing", when Teng Renren was in the palace, he wrote to the Queen Mother several times with the minister Cheng for asking the Queen Mother to return because of two fires in the palace. He said: the country was ruled by fire, fire lost its nature, and the government lost its foundation. At the beginning of Jing You, Song Renzong was very popular in China and fell ill. At that time, Teng, then Minister Zuo, put forward a face-saving suggestion: Your Majesty lives in the palace every day and stays for a famine feast, but he will be tired when he comes to Korea, and he must never hang on his sacred heart. So he angered Injong and demoted him to Xinzhou.

1040, when Teng took office in Huzhou, he learned that Shen Shukuan, a scholar living in the countryside of Deqing County, Huzhou, died in the same year. Because his family is poor, he has no money to bury the coffin at home. Teng went home to pay homage and paid the funeral expenses. He also asked Fan Zhongyan to write "the epitaph of the secretary of Ning Shui Shi Jie Zhang".

In September of the second year of Li Qing, Xixia invaded, and Ge Huaimin, commander-in-chief of the Song Dynasty, was defeated in Dingchuan, which led to the fall of Wei, Yan, and shocked the border counties. Dingchuan is only 120 miles away from Jingzhou guarded by Teng, and Teng is not in danger. While recruiting thousands of farmers to guard the city, he sent soldiers behind enemy lines to collect information, wrote letters and sent them to all counties as preventive measures. At this time, Fan Zhongyan led 15000 soldiers and horses to help, but 10 was rainy and rainy for many days, and people were depressed and morale was lax. Teng da hosted a banquet for the soldiers, paid homage to the soldiers who died in the battle of Dingchuan in the Buddhist temple, and took special care of their relatives with heavy money, each doing his own thing and not letting go of one. So the foot soldiers felt more angry and the border people felt a little safer. During the period of guarding the border, he also treated the Qiang people well and United ethnic minorities to defend the enemy, which was deeply loved by the border people. When he was transferred from the border, hundreds of his wife and children died in battle and were sent around the pavilion, and the audience wept.

In August of the third year of Li Qing, Fan Zhongyan took part in politics and promoted the New Deal in Li Qing, which was implemented by conservatives with the so-called Jingzhou Waste Money Law. The imperial court sent personnel to investigate, and every sentence was chased. The prison was full and everyone complained (Ouyang Xiuyu). Teng is also being held in a prison in Jingzhou, in a dangerous situation. In the face of the strong enemy crossing the border, the garrison commander was distracted, and Teng was afraid of repeatedly arresting people, so he burned his name to destroy it. Its spirit of disregarding personal safety, focusing on national interests and daring to take responsibility is admirable.

On this basis, Su Zimei's "The Funeral of Teng Zijing" came into being, and people died irreverently. Loyalty, righteousness, fate, fame, and righteousness. All the words are from the old, and the courage to regain the heartfelt praise of the whole army; Only Fan Zhongyan's "Epitaph of Teng Jun to be Built in Tianzhangge", know life, a gentleman, enjoys his post and educates people alone, which is difficult to be urgent. A fair evaluation of your political generosity and diligence; Only the history of the Song Dynasty praised it for its forbearance, self-restraint, generosity, and no profit or loss.

Third, what is his relationship with Fan Zhongyan? Why did Fan Zhongyan write this article?

Teng and Fan Zhongyan are close friends and bosom friends. We have known each other since the same year of 10 15, and we have known each other since 1026 built a seawall in Taizhou. In the imperial court, they dared to speak out, fought against Xixia together, supported each other at work, helped each other in life, gave each other poems and exchanged letters until they died. Fan Zhongyan wrote in "The Epitaph of Teng Jun Standing in Tianzhangge": We have been loyal and filial all our lives, punishing each other with regret (ominous), and promised to take good care of our youngest son today, and we should teach him well. Because of their deep friendship, conservatives started the movement against Fan Zhongyan at the beginning of Qingli New Deal.

Why did Fan Zhongyan write the story of Yueyang Tower? The fifth paragraph of "I" says: Teng was demoted from Zuo Si to Yuezhou magistrate (please note: there are two historical common sense mistakes in this sentence, 1, Teng was remonstrated by Zuo Si in 1034, and it was 0/0 years since he was demoted to Yuezhou; Yueyang had no government before two years of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty. Teng's evil deeds in Yuezhou were quickly perceived by court ministers and opposed. In order to cover up his crimes, he remembered to ask Fan Zhongyan to erect a monument for him in the form of a composition. This strongly worded remark is sheer nonsense. What historical materials describe Teng's evil deeds in Yuezhou being perceived and opposed? What crime does Teng need to cover up? The author made it out of nothing. The motivation and purpose of Teng Xiulou and memorial are clearly put forward in the Record of Remembrance, in order to inherit and carry forward the excellent national culture.

There have always been four views on the theme of Fan Zhongyan's notes: exhortation, exhortation declaration, advocating the spirit of worrying before the world, and praising Teng's spirit. (For details, see why Fan Zhongyan wrote the story of Yueyang Tower? ") In short, Teng Zhuishu was in June of the fifth year in Fan Zhongyan. At this point, shortly after the failure of the Qingli New Deal, Gong Fan suffered a great mental blow, was busy with border military affairs and was afflicted with lung disease. In addition, he didn't visit Yueyang on the spot, so he didn't write the Yueyang Tower at that time. In November of the fifth year of Li Qing, Gong Fan requested to transfer Dengzhou. Although he chose a good treatment method, he also became a guest who moved. After arriving in Dengzhou, there was once an attached village. Can you buy it? Take your health with you and go home early; If you want less disasters, you should stop, and you have no right to feel at ease (Appreciating Li Guanghua by Rhyme). Then, will his political allies who have been relegated suffer the humiliation of Athena Chu's "Xue Ji of Yuezhou" and lose their jobs? This is a big issue related to national interests. After all, he is a famous minister who takes the world as his responsibility all his life. After the fleeting ideological fluctuation, the grim reality will inevitably prompt him to seriously consider this important issue. Just then, the Yueyang Tower rebuilt by Teng was completed, and he was urged to take notes again. Dongting Lake and Yueyang Tower have been world-famous scenic spots since ancient times. Famous literati such as Qu Yuan, Li Bai and Du Fu have left countless masterpieces here and become famous tourist attractions in China. However, Teng is a typical example of his best friends. They are tired of being relegated and still live a happy life, Babi. He is very familiar with Teng's previous situation. In recent years, after he was demoted to Yuezhou because of the Jingzhou case, his achievements in doing things for the people were frequently reported in newspapers. If so, isn't it the typical one he is looking for? He went to Dengzhou for illness, so he had time to make a field trip to Yuezhou. After verifying the facts, he encouraged his colleagues in the spirit of not being happy with things, not being sad for himself, and staying away from the rivers and lakes, and responded to those conservatives who came to power by aborting the New Deal in a crony way. This is the reason for writing "Ji".
