Life of the characters

Shi Mu Xiyi

Li Zhicai, whose name is Tingzhi, was born in Qingzhou, Shandong Province. In 1030, Emperor Renzong of Song Dynasty was awarded the title of tongjinshi. He was simple and straightforward, confident but not affectable. He worshipped him as his teacher. He was irritable and severe. Even people like Li Zhicai often scolded him, but Li Zhicai served him more diligently, and finally learned the book of changes from him. At that time, Su Shunqin and others also studied Yi from Mu Xiu, but only Li Zhicai was taught by Mu Xiu. Mu Xiu's Yi was learned from Zhong Zhong, and Zhong Fang's Yi was learned from Chen Tuan. Its origin is the farthest, and the change of its figures and images is rarely known since Qin and Han Dynasties.

To teach Yong Yi

When Li Zhicai acted as the official of the Communist Party of China, Shao Yongju's mother died in Baiquan of Sumen mountain. She was dressed in cloth, ate simple food, and cooked for her father. Li Zhicai knocked on the door to visit him, comforted him and said, "what's the difference between being so studious and being so attentive?" "I didn't study anything except classics," Shao said Li Zhicai said, "you are not a scholar of classics. What about the knowledge of the periodic law of all things?" Later, he said to Shao Yong, "you have learned about the periodic law of all things, don't you still have the knowledge about life?" Shao yongsui paid homage to Li Zhicai again and said he was willing to accept his inheritance. So Li Zhicai first taught Shao Yong about Lu Chun's spring and Autumn Annals, and intended to reveal the five classics with the spring and Autumn Annals. If he could talk about the gist of the five classics with Shao Yong, he would finally teach Shao Yong the book of changes to finish his studies. Later, Shao Yong became famous for his study of the book of changes.

I'm not an official

Li Zhicai began his official career as the chief bookkeeper of Weizhou, and temporarily acted as the agent of Gongcheng order. Li Zhicai has great ambition and is hard to be recognized by the world. Therefore, he can't be transferred after staying in office for a long time. Some people feel sorry for him and say, "you should belittle yourself a little in order to get promotion." But Shi Yannian said: "the reality can't hold you. Why don't you abandon the official and live in seclusion?" Later, Li Zhicai was promoted to Mengzhou judicial service. At this time, fan Yong was in Mengzhou and could not understand him. Fan Yonggang had just been stationed in Yan'an from Luoyang. All the people who saw him off were sent abroad. Li Zhicai was the only one to say goodbye to fan Yong when he went to the suburbs. Some people criticized him, but he said, "it's customary." Soon after, fan Yong was demoted to Anlu, and Li Zhicai came to Luoyang to see him. None of the people who sent him out of the country a few days ago came. Fan Yong felt that it was too late to get to know Li Zhicai. Yi Zhu, Li Zhicai's friend, wrote a letter to recommend Li Zhicai to ye Qingchen (zidaoqing), who was a member of Zhongshu society, and asked Shi Yannian to convey it. In his letter to Shi Yannian, he said: "Li Zhicai, 39, who joined the judicial army in Mengzhou, can write ancient articles. His language is straightforward and profound. He does not expose himself freely and is not embarrassed and urgent. He can trace his predecessors completely. He is not the one I dare to comment on, but he is People seldom understand him because he is humble and has no desire to be an official. His talent is very good at understanding the affairs of the past and the present, so that he can see the world a little bit, and will certainly surpass others. Unfortunately, his talent is too poor to strengthen his determination to retire. People who know him should help him. " Shi Yannian wrote back to Yin Zhu, saying: "today, there are very few people who are good at writing and do not show off. If such people are abandoned, then this kind of learning will decline even more." Shi Yannian didn't like visiting senior officials most in his life. He went to Ye Daoqing's door four or five times before he finally handed in the letter. After receiving the letter, ye Daoqing recommended Li Zhicai to the imperial court, and Li Zhicai was able to apply for a new rank. Five people were appointed as the governor of Dali temple and the magistrate of Goushi county. Before he was appointed, Shi Yannian and Wu zunlu, the direct scholar of LongTuge, sent troops to Hedong, and Li Zhicai was requisitioned as a judge of Zezhou. As a result, Liu yisou, a native of Zezhou, was able to follow Li Zhicai to learn the calendar, which is known as "yisou calendar" in the world, far superior to the ancient and modern calendars. Yang Xiong and Zhang Heng did not make it clear. In fact, Li Zhicai taught him this.

Ding you's death

In the middle of Qingli period (1044), Li Zhicai was transferred to Zhongcheng in Zezhou, and his mother died. In February of the fifth year of Qingli period (1045), he died suddenly in the official house of huaizhou at the age of 65. My friends are very sad to hear that Li Zhicai died young. Yin Jian, the elder brother of Yin Zhu, was the magistrate of huaizhou at that time. He even cried for Li Zhicai. He was seriously ill and died within a month. With the help of friends, Li Zhicai's coffin was transported back to Qingzhou for burial.
