Life of the characters

Wang Cheng

Wang Cheng, also a writer, was born in Meizhou (now Meishan City, Sichuan Province) in the Southern Song Dynasty. During the reign of Qingyuan (1195-1200), he was a doctor of the Ministry of officials. Later, he served as chengzhenglang, magistrate of Longzhou, and finally as an official to Zhimi Pavilion.

Wang Shang, Wang Cheng's father, was an official in charge of the compilation of records during the reign of Emperor Gaozong of the Southern Song Dynasty in Shaoxing. Wang said that he had a good family background and was very interested in the history of the Northern Song Dynasty. His father had done some data collection and long draft work on the history of the Northern Song Dynasty, so his son, following his father's ambition, devoted himself to historiography, collected the deeds of the nine dynasties of the Northern Song Dynasty, sorted them out and arranged them into 130 volumes of Dongdu synopsis. When Hong Mai edited the history of the four dynasties, he wrote about the emperor in Dongdu shilue, and the emperor was called chengzhenglang.

》Introduction of the project:

Written by Wang Cheng of Song Dynasty. Cheng, the word Ji Ping, from Meizhou. Father reward, Shaoxing for the actual record of the compilation. Cheng Cheng inherited his family's learning, searched the deeds of the nine dynasties and compiled them. Hong maixiu wrote a book about the history of the four dynasties. He learned about Longzhou from Yilang and specially taught Zhimi Pavilion. His books are Benji 12, Shijia 5, liezhuan 15 and Appendix 8. The narration is reasonable and the discussion is even. For example, Kang Baoyi is not listed in Zhongyi, and Zhang Fangping and Wang Gongchen have historical knowledge. Xining's provocation and Yuanfu's narration are especially three. The biography of Zhu Zhe is followed by the biography of Genyue by Seng zuxiu. The biography of Zhuge Liang in the annals of the Three Kingdoms is followed by the catalogue of collected works and the Jinbiao by Chen Shou. Although it is not a historical method, it is also sufficient for textual research. However, most of the people in the Southern Song Dynasty were dissatisfied with his books. Gai Cheng wrote behind closed doors. It is inevitable for the party to share the same views while cutting down differences, and it is impossible to make a final conclusion. In recent years, Wang Wan said that Yuan Xiu's history of Song Dynasty was based on this book. Based on the current research, only the biography of literature and art was obtained from the history of the Song Dynasty, so there are many records in the Northern Song Dynasty and few scholars in the Southern Song Dynasty. For example, Fu Yanqing's two daughters were the Empresses of the Zhou Dynasty, while the history of the Song Dynasty was not one of them. Liu Mei's original surname is gong. She attached herself to the book "relatives" and wrote about it directly. The history of Song Dynasty adopted her family tradition and became a taboo. Zhao Pu read Zhangzuo first, and Tian Xiji commented on it. However, in the history of Song Dynasty, he mistakenly thought that Baixi was the first to read Zhangzuo. Yang Shouyi made up for youban Dianzhi by juanren, and moved to Hanlin Deputy envoy, while the history of Song Dynasty was mistaken for Hanlin bachelor. In the early days of the new law, Wu Shen and others said that it was inconvenient to buy Rice by sitting in warehouses. The history of the Song Dynasty mistakenly took Sima Guang's words. In terms of place names and posthumous titles, the history of the Song Dynasty is full of errors. Yuan Dynasty history, cover did not research the book. Wan's words did not come true. For example, Zhang Qixian mistakenly invited himself to go out in the third year of Yongxi. The book of songs of Chu written by Wang LV, the Deputy envoy, was wrongly attributed to Li Ruoshui. He did not carry the king in the biography of loyalty and righteousness. Although there are contradictions between them (D ǐ w ǔ: conflict, contradiction)

Publish this letter

Dongdu shilue was first engraved in Meishan, Sichuan Province during the reign of emperor Guangzong of Song Dynasty (1190-1194), which is Wang's hometown. In Song Guangzong's time, Cheng Shiren's house in Meishan is now handed down to the world. According to the records of a Book visit to China by Japanese scholar Abe longyi, there are probably three books, which are respectively stored in the Shuling Department of Japan's palace hall, the jingjiatang Library of Japan, and the National Library of Taiwan.

It is worth mentioning that there are two lines of two-sided notes at the end of the catalogue of Meishan chengsheren's house, namely "Meishan chengsheren's House Publishing line / applied board", which is equivalent to the copyright page of modern publications. The first line of the first volume has the title of "the first volume of Dongdu affairs", and the second line has the title of "Chengyi Lang Xinquan knows Longzhou, Junzhou is also in charge of the inner state, persuades the agricultural administration to inspect the border area and make progress by Zichen Wang". Wusong Pavilion of Ming Dynasty and cleaning yeshanfang of Qing Dynasty have been reprinted, and Qianlong edition of Qing Dynasty is a better version of the book.

Historical evaluation

1. When compiling the history of the four dynasties, Hong Mai, a famous litterateur in the Southern Song Dynasty, asked the emperor for permission to refer to Wang's Dongdu shilue, saying that his book is excellent in historical knowledge and valuable material for compiling the history of the Song Dynasty. When he wrote the history of the four dynasties, many materials were quoted from it.

2. The summary of the general catalogue of Sikuquanshu thinks that this book can be compared with the two books of Li Xinchuan and Li Tao. It is an important book which is valuable to the scholars who study the history of Song Dynasty. "However, the private history of the people of the Song Dynasty, which is outstanding and can be passed on, is only three books written by Cheng, Li Tao and Li Xin. Guyi is precious to those who study the history of Song Dynasty. "
