Anecdotes and allusions

Li Bangyan Village

Li Bangyan village is under the jurisdiction of Wucheng town. It is located in the north east of the county. To the west, it is close to Chen Gongdi. It was formerly known as the grate craftsman's village. It was first because the grate craftsman came here to settle down and teach. It is famous for its good quality of the grate, so the village got its name. During the reign of Xuanhe in the Northern Song Dynasty, Li Bangyan once passed by the place. He heard that the grate here was of unique workmanship and high quality, so he ordered people to buy it. After buying it, Zuo Cheng, the Secretary of state, couldn't put it down. He fiddled with the grate and asked, "what's the name of this village? After going back to the court, the emperor should play the role of the emperor, and the grate should be regarded as a tribute. " The entourage said that the village was named bizijiangzhuang. He shook his head and said, "it's not elegant." After Li Bangyan left, people knew that the one who wanted to make their grate as a tribute was Li Bangyan, who was Shangshu zuocheng. In order to show their gratitude, they changed their name to Li Bangyan. Later, Li Bangyan was demoted to Xundi (today's Guiping, Guangxi) because he insisted on peace with the Jin Dynasty. As a result, Li Bangyan's village lost the chance to become a tribute. However, the village name of Li Bangyan has been used to this day.

Li Bangyan's mother

Li Bangyan's father was a quarryman in a silver mine in the Song Dynasty. Some people use Li's father's career to ridicule Li Bangyan. Li Bangyan feels that he can't look up in front of others and goes home to tell his mother about it. The mother said, "it's really not a glorious thing for the prime minister's family to be reduced to miners. But it's a very glorious thing for the father who came from a miner and had a son who was the prime minister in his family. What's the shame of not being seen?"

Literary image

Li Bangyan is also an important figure in Jin Ping Mei. In the 18th chapter of xiuxiangben, Cai Jing evaded because of impeachment. Li Bangyan, the right Prime Minister of the current Dynasty, the Bachelor of zizhengdian and the Minister of rites, took the place of Cai Jing in handling political affairs. He was also a corrupt official. After collecting five hundred taels of silver, he changed the word "XiMenqing" in the pursuit book to "Jia Lian". In the 70th chapter of cihuaben, Li Bangyan was awarded the title of "Zhu state, Prince and teacher" by Huizong of Song Dynasty. In the imperial edict, he ranks second only to Cai Jing. It can be seen that Li Bangyan is a powerful faction in the government. For a long time, his position was second only to Cai Jing.
