Idioms and allusions

Pinghuaixi stele, also known as Han stele, is written by the famous Han Yue. It describes the battle between Li Fang and Wu Yuanji in the 12th year of Yuanhe (817) of emperor Xianzong of Tang Dynasty. The stele was completed and ordered to be engraved in Ziji palace of caizhou to grind the stele of Wu Shaocheng's virtue and rule, and to engrave the stele of pinghuaixi, standing outside the north gate of Runan city. The inscription on the tablet is about 1800 words. The full text imitates the writing method of Shangshu, which is simple, elegant and clumsy. Li Shangyin's Hanbei says, "punctuate the words of Yaodian and Shundian, and alter the poems of the people living in the temple of the Qing Dynasty." Lin Shu's research method of Korean: "the tablet of pinghuai West is a model of Shangshu, but it has great strength and extremely ancient words." Shen Deqian said: "the Huaixi stele records rebellion, Tingyi, Mingjiang, Zhangong, amnesty, and argumentation, which are attributed to the emperor's bright and broken mind. The well is neat and solemn, just like the poem of Changwu in Jianghan Dynasty. The first big writing after Xijing. " because the inscription praises Pei Du's merits, "the emperor says that Ru Du's merit is the first", and seldom mentions Li Guang's deeds, Shi Xiaozhong, Li Guang's subordinate, is dissatisfied. "He pushes away his tablet and only tilts it over and over again" and smashes it with a hammer. Later, Emperor Xianzong ordered Duan Wenchang, a scholar of Hanlin University, to rewrite his works. One tablet and two articles are rare in the world. Li Shangyin said in his reading Han Bei poem: "after the public's gentle manner is not shown, he and San Wu are pursuing each other." Zhang Yuzhao praised it as "this article has been written since Qin Dynasty, and it is almost impossible to do it The more prosperous the Han Dynasty was, the more prosperous the Han Dynasty was, the more prosperous the Han Dynasty was In the Song Dynasty, Chen Wang, the magistrate of caizhou (now Zhumadian in Henan Province), ordered the selection of stone and re engraved Korean. Su Dongpo has a poem that says: "Huaixi's achievements are the highest in the Tang Dynasty. The articles of the Ministry of official affairs are written by the sun and the moon, and the steles have been broken for thousands of years. I don't know that there is Duan Wenchang in the world." During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, caizhou stone tablet no longer existed because of the war disaster. During the Xianfeng Period, Qi Junzao, Minister of military aircraft, wrote the pinghuai West stele with four stone inscriptions. The book style is a combination of Yan, ou, Liu and Zhao. It is called "three unique steles" because of its excellent writing, calligraphy and engraving. Thus comes the idiom "Wen Tian Wu Xi".
