Li Ao
Li Ao (772 ~ 841), the word Xi, Longxi Didao (now Lintao County, Gansu Province) people. During the Tang Dynasty, he was a minister, writer, philosopher and poet. He was the 13th grandson of Li Li, king of Liangwu, the 10th grandson of Li Chong, king of Sikong in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the grandson of Li Chujin, a member of the judicial army in beizhou.
In the fourteenth year of Zhenyuan (798), Jin Shiji was awarded the title of xueshulang and moved to Beijing to join the army. In the early years of Yuanhe, he successively served as a doctor of Guozi, an editor of the history museum, an examiner of merit, and a doctor of the Ministry of rites. He was recommended by Prime Minister Li Fengji to be the governor of Luzhou. Emperor Wenzong of Tang Dynasty ascended the throne. He was appointed a counsellor and a scholar of Zhongshu. He recommended that Baiqi should not be an official. He was demoted to the post of Shao Fu and Shao Jian. He was also appointed as the governor of xiangsizhou, zhengguitan, Shangshu of Jianjiao Hubu and Jiedushi of Shannan Dongdao.
Huichang first year, died in Xiangyang, posthumous title for the text, so called Li Xiangyang, Li Wengong. He studied ancient Chinese prose from Han Yu and promoted the movement of ancient Chinese prose. Ideologically, he worshipped Confucianism all his life and rejected Buddhism and Taoism. He thought Confucius was "the great sage", and advocated that his words and deeds should be based on the Confucian "middle way". He is the author of Fu Xing Shu and Li Wen Gong Ji.
Life of the characters
When he was a child, he worked hard on Confucianism. He was broad-minded and good at antiquity. His articles advocated a clear and generous style. In the 14th year of Zhenyuan (798), he passed the entrance examination and was awarded the title of "xiaoshulang". He was promoted three times to join the army. In the early years of Yuanhe, he was a doctor of Guozi and an editor of the history museum. In 819, King Jing Shangshu of taichangcheng asked to cancel the ritual of offering food at Taimiao on the new day. The emperor ordered all officials to discuss. According to the Kaiyuan ceremony, the people who discussed it believed that there were only five sacrificial rites in the Taimiao temple every year, namely, Yi, CI, steamed, tasted and waxed rites. In the last years of Tianbao, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty ordered the Shangshi Bureau, which was in charge of the diet, to store the ordinary food on the new day of each month, and also ordered the imperial palace to offer food to the temple. From then on, the emperor did not listen to the government, just like the large Memorial temple.
Li Zhen has a strong disposition and does not evade discussing things. Although the prime minister valued his knowledge, he hated his extreme outspokenness, so he was not promoted for a long time. Li Zhen thought that it was not true for the historian to record historical events. Shangzou said: "although I have no talent, I write in the historical museum. My duty is to record the words and deeds of the emperor. It is the duty of the historian to persuade the good and punish the evil, to speak frankly, to record the merits and virtues of the dynasty, to narrate the cause of the loyal and virtuous people, and to record the evil deeds of the treacherous officials, so as to spread them throughout the world. A person's deeds, if not great good and evil, people can not know, are to consult others, according to the posthumous law as a rule for biography. Nowadays, most of the people who write the deeds of the dead are old-fashioned officials of the dead, so there is no one who adds benevolence, righteousness, propriety and wisdom to show loyalty, solemnity and harmony. This is not only a false intention, but also a random praise for their benefactor. And those who wrote the line can't compare with Ziyou, Zixia, Sima Qian and Yang Xiong. They are flashy and give up their reason for writing. So the article has lost the ancient style of the six classics, and the cause of Ji is not like Sima Qian's true record. I hope that the person who makes the pleading will only record the facts and record the achievements truthfully. For example, the biography of Wei Zheng only records his admonitions, which is enough to show his integrity; the biography of Duan Xiushi only records that he embezzles the seal of Si Nong to recover the rebels, and uses ivory handboards to hit Zhu, which is enough to show his loyalty. If Kao Gonglang, who is in charge of the assessment officials, does not accept those who do not write according to the requirements when checking the deeds, and sends those who meet the requirements to Taichang temple, then informs the Museum of history, and then decides on the posthumous title. I request that this memorial be sent to the Department in charge of the assessment of officials for the record. " The emperor followed his advice. Li soon took charge of the affairs of wailang, a member of the staff side. In June of 820, he was granted the title of kaogong yuan wailang, and he was also the editor of the history museum.
Li Hong and Li Jingjian have a friendly relationship. At the beginning, Li Jingjian was worshipped as a counsellor, and Li Zhen was also called into the imperial court as a doctor of the Ministry of rites. Li Zhen thought he had literary talent and thought he should take the position of zhizhizhao. He was unhappy because he couldn't fulfill his wish for a long time. When he met Li Fengji, the Prime Minister of Zhongshu Province, he listed Li Fengji's faults face to face. Although Li Fengji didn't care with him, he felt uneasy and asked for leave. After a hundred days of vacation, the relevant departments suspended him according to the precedent, and Li Fengji recommended him as the governor of Luzhou.
In the early years of Dahe, he was called to serve as a doctor of remonstrance, and he soon became an official. In February of the third year (829), he was awarded zhongshushe. At the beginning, when Bai Qi, a doctor of advice, was about to go to Cangzhou to announce his mission to the army, Li Zhen also agreed with his visit. Soon after, Bai Qi was convicted of entering Cangzhou without authorization, and Li Zhen was also implicated because of his wrong recommendation and was demoted to the post of Shaofu Shaojian. Soon he was appointed governor of Zhengzhou. Five years (831), served as governor of Guizhou, Yushi Zhongcheng, served as Guiguan defense envoy. In 833, he was appointed governor of Tanzhou and observer of Hunan. Eight years later, he was recruited as the Minister of the Ministry of punishment. In the ninth year (835), he was transferred to the Ministry of household affairs. In July, he was also appointed as the Secretary of the Department of inspection, the governor of Xiangzhou, and the governor of Shannan East Road. Huichang years, died in the town of Fang Ren. Li Zhen once followed Han Yu to write articles, which were highly praised by the people of that time. Therefore, some scholars argued that the posthumous title should be "Wen".
The book of the old Tang Dynasty volume 160, biography 110, and the book of the new Tang Dynasty volume 177, biography 122. There are records
Main achievements
Li Zhen once explained Han Yu's concept of "Tao", emphasizing that the text should be clear about Tao, advocating anti Buddhism, anti Tao, and "renaturation", giving full play to the idea of "nature is the destiny of nature" in the doctrine of the mean, advocating the theory of good nature and evil emotion, and holding that Confucius is "the great sage" (Li Wengong's collection of questions from the emperor). The fundamental way to become a saint is renaturation, that is, to restore good nature.
The method of renaturation is to "listen to and hear, speak and act in accordance with propriety", so as to "forget lust and return to life", so as to make one's mind and body reach the realm of "purity" and "sincerity" in "thinking and thinking". Li Zhen wrote three chapters of Fu Xing Shu, which discussed the "source of life" and other issues. He advocated that people's words and deeds should be based on the Confucian "middle way", which laid the foundation for the later development of Taoism.
