Wang sengqian

Wang sengqian

Wang sengqian (426-485), whose name is unknown, was born in Linyi, Langya (now Linyi City, Shandong Province). He was a minister and calligrapher in the song and Qi dynasties, and the son of Wang tanshou, the Prime Minister of the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

Born in the "Langya Wang family", he became an official in Liu Song Dynasty, and successively served as the governor of Wuling, Prince Sheren, and the governor of Wujun. Liu zishang, the assistant king of Yuzhang, and Liu ziluan, the assistant king of Xin'an, both had official voice and were good at calligraphy, which was appreciated by those in power. After the establishment of the Southern Qi Dynasty, he served as the general of Zhengnan and the governor of Xiangzhou. He moved to Shizhong, Zuo Guanglu and Kaifu Yitong.

In the third year of Yongming Dynasty (485), Wang sengqian died at the age of 60. He was given Sikong the posthumous title of "Jianmu". He is fond of literature and history, good at music and rhythm, and good at gongzhenshu and Xingshu. Calligraphy inherits the ancestral style, rich, simple and powerful. There are "Wang Yan tie" and "Lun Shu" in ink.

Life of the characters

Childhood experience

When Wang sengqian was a child, his father, Wang tanshou, and his brothers gathered their children together and let them play and have fun. Wang sengda jumps to the ground to be a tiger. At that time, Wang sengqian played twelve consecutive games of chess, neither falling nor remaking. Wang Seng Chuo picked candle beads to make a Phoenix. Wang Seng Da grabbed it and broke it. He didn't feel sorry. Uncle Wang Hong sighed and said, "Seng Da is as handsome as others. However, it is this child who has ruined my family. Monk Qian will certainly become the third Duke, and monk Chuo will be praised for his reputation. " It is said that Wang Seng Qian made a phoenix out of candle beads, and Wang Hong called him an elder.

A new reputation

When Wang sengqian was 20 years old, he was very good at clerical script. When Emperor Wen of song saw his plain fan, he said with admiration, "not only did his handwriting surpass Zijing, but also his elegant demeanor." When he became the prince, he retreated from silence and seldom communicated with others. He is close to Yuan Shu and Xie Zhuang, and Yuan Shu often sighs for him: "you are very elegant and have a deep education, but you hide your brilliance so that people can't see you. Even Wei Yangyuan's archery and Wang Runan's horse riding can't surpass you." He was transferred to situ Zuoxi.

After his brother Wang Seng Chuo was killed by Liu Shao, his relatives and friends urged him to run away. Wang Seng Qian cried and said, "my brother has served the country with loyalty and is very kind to me. What's happening now is that he can't get involved with me. If they all belong to Jiuquan, they will be like immortals. "

In the early years of emperor Xiaowu of Song Dynasty, Wang sengqian went out of Beijing to be the prefect of Wuling. He took his sons and nephews with him. His brother's son Wang Jian got sick in the middle of the journey. Wang sengqian forgot to eat and sleep for him, and his fellow guests offered him sympathy and enlightenment. Wang sengqian said: "in the past, Ma Yuan was between his sons and nephews. He had the same deep feelings, and there was no difference. Deng you is more than his own son to his younger brother. I really feel the same way. It's not different from the ancients. The offspring of the deceased brother should not be neglected. If the child can not be cured, he should go back to the boat and resign. " He also served as zhongshulang after the dynasty, and was transferred to the crown prince zhongshuzi.

Self insurance in my writing

Emperor Xiaowu of the Song Dynasty wanted to gain fame in the field of calligraphy, so Wang sengqian did not dare to reveal his ink. During the Ming Dynasty, he often deliberately wrote with a clumsy pen, so he was accepted by Emperor Xiaowu. Later, Wang sengqian was appointed as the commander of the Fu army of Liu zishang, the king of Yuzhang. He moved to Sanqi and served as a constant servant. He also served as the chief of beizhonglang of Liu ziluan, the king of Xin'an, and the governor of nandonghai. These two vassal kings were the beloved sons of emperor Xiaowu of Song Dynasty. 　

Before long, Wang sengqian moved to Yuzhang. After entering the court, he was transferred to Zhongcheng, the censor, and led the general of Xiaoqi. Most of the aristocratic families did not serve as the central government officials. The branches of the Wang family lived in Wuyi lane, and their official positions were reduced. After becoming such an official, monk Qian said, "this was the place where Wuyi zhulang sat, and now I can try it." Later, he went to work as a servant and led the troops to ride as a captain. During the Taishi period, he served as the general of the auxiliary state and the Taishou of Wuxing, and his treatment level was equivalent to two thousand stones. Wang Xianzhi was good at calligraphy and once worked in Wuxing county. Later, Wang sengqian was good at calligraphy and came to work in Wuxing. This became a beautiful talk.

Later, Wang sengqian was transferred to the post of Kuaiji Taishou. His salary was still 2000 yuan, and his position as a general was still the same. Ruan Dianfu, a Chinese scholar, was in Kuaiji and asked for leave to return home. Wang's guests considered that when the tenant was in the court, he advised him to receive him with courtesy. Wang sengqian said, "I have my own integrity. How can I flatter this generation? If he wants to express his dissatisfaction with me, I'll just brush away. " Later, Ruan Dianfu really spoke ill of Wang Seng Qian in front of the emperor of song and Ming Dynasties, and asked sun Xuan, the Prime Minister of the imperial censor, to impeach him and say, "Wang Seng Qian had made many mistakes when he was in office in Wuxing before. Now, after investigation, there are 448 disciples who worked hard on Cao's five sense books, as well as the three biographies of the two rites and officials department and accepted him. He also allowed the people to wait for 110 families as the old gate. It should be verified by the local state and reduced. " Wang sengqian was removed from office.

Soon after, Wang sengqian served as a servant in white, and then went out to supervise the governor of Wujun. He also moved to be an envoy Chijie, a commander in chief of Xiangzhou military affairs, a general of Jianwu, a governor of Xiangzhou affairs, and then transferred to be a general of the auxiliary state and a governor of Xiangzhou. Where he worked, people praised him for his generosity. Many of the refugees in the Baxia area went to Xiangzhou. Wang sengqian asked the court to divide the people along the Yangtze River in Yiyang, Luo and Xiangxi counties and set up Xiangyin County, which was approved.

On Wang Tan

During the yuan and Hui dynasties, Wang sengqian was promoted to minister of the Ministry of officials. Gaoping Tanlu was the magistrate of Yuannan County, and Wang sengqian asked him to join the army as a northern expedition. Without permission, he wrote to Wang Seng Qian and said, "at the beginning of the five constant periods, the first factor is culture and martial arts. Culture can govern heaven and earth, and martial arts can set the country in disorder. Although our family is no longer good at writing, wushangtou is in the period of development. Three of my family's aunts and uncles were married to the royal family. My grandparents and brothers also died for the country, but my nephew starved to death in the countryside. Last winter and this spring, even connected to two instructions, since there was no one in the court to speak for me, I had to suffer from falls repeatedly. In the past four or five months, I have written twelve times and petitioned six or seven times. Not only have I not been taken care of, but I have become even more distressed. Since there is a principle of fairness in all things, we should not only make one person suffer. I have been starving for a long time. If I don't get angry and anxious, who will give them food? But last year I asked to be Yu Zhang Cheng, and Ma Chao argued for it; this year I was assigned to Nanchang County, and Shi Yan took it away. These two people are only promoted by virtue of their superiors. What are their advantages over me? If it's the difference between the rich and the poor that deprives me, then I'm not as good as them. However, although I'm lonely now, I've been a scholar for generations, and I'm not much worse than anyone else in my official position. Shangshu's sister is Princess Jiangxia, and Tanyu's aunt is Princess Nanqiao; Shangshu's wife is the daughter of the king of Jiangxia, and Tanyu's grandaunt is the concubine of King Jing of Changsha; Shangshu's uncle once worked in Jiangzhou, and Tanyu's grandfather also worked in Jiangzhou; Shangshu's elder brother joined the army after he became an official, and Tanyu's father joined the army together. I am a monk. Although people and land are far apart, when it comes to family marriage, it makes no difference. Now, although you and I are both in trouble and understanding, we still belong to the same character. Why do you make me feel bad? In the early years of Taishi, rebellious people rose all over the world. All of us, the second generation, gave up our lives to defend the Lord. Such a great achievement can't be promoted out of the ordinary. Why is even the normal promotion channel suppressed? "

Wang sengqian wrote back and said, "the post of Zhengbei banxing joining the army is still a good vacancy in recent years. It is from this house that master Yin entered a high position. Later, he Yicao replaced master Yin, but he didn't complain. You have been wronged for a long time. It is not easy for you to be promoted by leaps and bounds. Your ancestors and brothers worked hard for ten years in the early days of Thailand, but they didn't get the reward at that time. Now it's hard to fulfill their wishes. I have no regrets with you. Why can't I live with you? On the contrary, I want to help you. "

Tan Li wrote a letter again and said, "Xun Gongda was a meritorious official in the Han Dynasty, and Emperor Wu of Jin Dynasty also conferred a title for his great grandson. Xia Houdun was the emperor of Wei Dynasty, and he promoted his grandson in the early Jin Dynasty. Yang Shuzi was also praised and rewarded by his brother and son at the end of Xianning because of his plan to attack Wu in the early Jin and Tai dynasties. Bian Wangzhi died for his country in the early years of Xianhe. At the end of Xingning, he was raised to the level of etiquette and treatment, and his descendants were appointed officials. Bo tianhun, the chief of Shu County, died in the end of the early Huang dynasty because of the difficulty of the king, and his descendants were promoted in the Xiankang period. These do not seem to have been abandoned because of the age, nor forgotten because of the age gap. Tanyu, I've come across all kinds of disasters. It's really a rare fate. Many relatives have lost their lives and can't be buried. Nearly a hundred members of my family are living in difficulties. I just want a little salary, but I don't want to be a high official. Since ancient times, there have been mushihou, and in modern times, there are also royal officials. Fu Zuo is not the duty of Mu Shi, and joining the army is not the title of a crown official. I said I was not a fool, so I was ashamed to be hung up and not used. Yin and he had a very good relationship with the leader of the government, and one had the intention of the imperial court. How could they be compared with ordinary people. If you let me take up the post, can you transfer me to Langguan? If I get five liters of Lumi a day, I'll be able to do it with peace of mind. " So Wang sengqian appointed Tan Li as Cheng of an Cheng county.

Pay attention to ya le

Soon after, Wang sengqian became a regular official and became a right servant.

In the first year of Shengming Dynasty (477), he was moved to be a minister, and later he was transferred to be a zhongshuling, Zuo pushe. In the second year of Shengming Dynasty, he was appointed as minister. Seng Qian loved literature and history and was proficient in music. At that time, it was Xiao Daocheng who assisted him. Wang Seng Qian saw that there were many rites and music in the imperial court
