I became famous for broadcasting my life as a social animal to different dynasties

"Ninth place, Xu Youpeng from the Song Dynasty."

Xu Youpeng was also a scholar. Because of the precedent of his grandson, he wisely did not ask himself, but asked Zhou Jinyu: "Excuse me, Miss Zhou, are there any scholars in the Song Dynasty who are remembered by later generations?"

"That's too many! The Song Dynasty was not very good in its external relations, but its own culture was very brilliant. For example, among the Eight Great Masters of Tang and Song, six were from the Song Dynasty alone," said Zhou Jinyu.

Li Shimin was dissatisfied. Among the Eight Great Masters of Tang and Song, why are there only two people in our Tang Dynasty?

That's impossible. The Tang Dynasty is full of talented people!

The scholars of the Tang Dynasty pricked up their ears quietly: Who? Am I there?

If not, my relatives will do!

Zhao Kuangyin was surprised. The Eight Great Families! The Song Dynasty has six of them!

I don’t know if there are any people from my dynasty.

Compared with the secret expectations of other civil officials, Zhao Pu was very clear about his own talents, which were not up to everyone else's level.

Moreover, even though such a long time has passed since the Song Dynasty, people in later generations still admire the Eight Great Masters, which shows that the talents of these eight people are like pearls that still shine brightly after thousands of years.

He himself did not have such ability, and he believed that the civil officials present did not have such ability either.

These six great writers of the Song Dynasty must have been literati of the late Song Dynasty.

"The Eight Great Prose Writers of the Tang and Song Dynasties are a collective name for eight prose writers from the Tang and Song Dynasties. They are Han Yu and Liu Zongyuan from the Tang Dynasty and Ouyang Xiu, Su Xun, Su Shi, Su Zhe, Wang Anshi and Zeng Gong from the Song Dynasty."

Li Shimin hurriedly asked the ministers: "My dear ministers, do you have any impression of these two people?"

Everyone shook their heads.

Chang Sun Wuji said: "He must be from the late Tang Dynasty."

Although Li Shimin was disappointed, it was okay. After all, he was a talent of the Tang Dynasty and could be from any period.

The scholars in the Tang Dynasty were very disappointed that they were not included!

Yes, there are only two people in the Tang Dynasty, so the probability is too small.

Han Yu was being exiled to Chaozhou at this time. Because of the sky curtain, many people flocked to see him, but Han Yu refused them one by one.

The friend was puzzled: "This will be of great help to your future career, why don't you see it?"

Han Yu said calmly, "They don't admire my writings, but the honor of me being remembered by future generations. What's there to see?"

Then he thought of Liu Zongyuan: "I guess Liu Zongyuan has been blocked by a group of people now. I wonder if he has escaped? I will write a letter to say hello to him."

After saying that, he got up and went to the study to write a letter.

Liu Zongyuan, who was demoted like Han Yu, is now the governor of Liuzhou. He received Han Yu's letter.

When I opened it, I burst out laughing!

This old guy also hurriedly wrote a letter to tell Han Yu that people here like to eat snakes, but he is not used to it, and asked him if he likes it. If he likes it, he asked someone to bring him a few snakes to eat, and also wrote a poem "Eating Toads".

Chaozhou and Liuzhou are both located in Lingnan, and they also have many strange foods. Han Yu wrote "Reply to Liu in Liuzhou on Eating Shrimp Toad" to express his empathy. Don't take the snake, you can keep it for yourself.

While people outside were making a fuss, only the two parties involved were extremely calm. They closed the door and wrote letters to each other for jokes.

Liu Zongyuan: When I die, please remember to write an epitaph for me.

Han Yu: Don’t worry, how many articles do you want?

Liu Zongyuan: Write well, as many articles as you want.

Han Yu: No problem! If it's not good, feel free to scold me in my dream!

Liu Zongyuan: Well, I won’t be polite. Not only in my dreams, I will also come in person.

……

Zhou Jinyu found the video material: "Biographies of Grandmasters: Ouyang Xiu".

Many people were jealous at once. Grandmaster! Later generations called them Grandmasters!

Some people in the Tang Dynasty were also puzzled: Doesn’t the Eight Great Masters of Tang and Song start with Han Yu?

The person next to him explained: This is a question raised by people in the Song Dynasty, so naturally it started with the great people of the Song Dynasty.

Many people have taken out their pens and inks, ready to record the demeanor of this great man.

Wang Anshi, the three Su family members, and Zeng Gong were all in their respective homes preparing to see how future generations would evaluate their teacher.

Ouyang Xiu didn't care much about it, it was just a name after his death.

[He likes to drink, but gets drunk easily after drinking a little. He likes flowers, and advises everyone not to laugh at people wearing flowers on their white hair. In his heart there is a heroic spirit that will flow forever like a clear river;

In his eyes, there is still the delicate light of thin wings after a light rain, and he laments that this hatred has nothing to do with the wind and the moon;

He said with a smile, "There is no need to lament even though the wild flowers bloom late; how open-minded he is;

He is a drunkard among mountains and rivers, a flower guest in Luoyang City, he is a man of feelings and an interesting soul;

He was also the literary leader who inspired the spirit of the scholars in the Northern Song Dynasty - Ouyang Xiu.

Dynasties before Song Dynasty: The leader of the literary world! This evaluation is very high! !

Li Shimin: He is the leader of the literary world, but what about Han Yu and Liu Zongyuan of the Tang Dynasty? What are they?

Kublai Khan once again fell into deep thought, looking at the outstanding figures in the past, there were some in every dynasty, some were military geniuses, some were scholars who dominated the literary world, and some were loyal ministers, but there was not a single one from the Yuan Dynasty...

Is there no one worth mentioning in his Yuan Dynasty?

Later generations used easy-to-understand interpretations to show Ouyang Xiu's life path one by one.

Wang Anshi: Did you have such a rough childhood? And nowadays, some people are born geniuses.

The hardships in life are just stepping stones on his road to success.

Ouyang Xiu: ...

Watching myself being portrayed by others while I am still alive makes me want to dig my teeth into the ground...

Why haven’t you finished yet?

Time goes by so slowly!

How about the next one!

However, when Ouyang Xiu saw that Mei Yaochen was seriously ill, he was shocked! Sheng Yu!

Go to Mei Yaochen's house immediately.

Mei Yaochen also saw the time of his own death. Seeing his best friend coming over in panic, he hurried over to him: "Slow down! Why are you in such a hurry? Is there anyone in this world who can survive?"

Ouyang Xiu looked at him with a sad expression.

Mei Yaochen smiled and said, "Uncle Yong, you don't have to do this."

The two sat down and drank and chatted slowly.

[In 1060 AD, Mei Yaochen died of illness. In the same year, the "Book of Tang" compiled by Ouyang Xiu, Song Qi, Mei Yaochen and others was completed. It started in the fourth year of the Qingli period and lasted for years.]

Li Shimin was surprised: The history book of our Tang Dynasty was actually compiled by Ouyang Xiu, yes, the leader of the literary world!

I just don’t know how to write it?

【Ouyang Xiu advocated integrity and promoted the spirit of scholars throughout his life. He inherited the "Han Liu" and led the success of the Northern Song Dynasty poetry and prose reform. He encouraged the younger generation and discovered a group of Northern Song Dynasty cultural masters such as Su Shi, Su Zhe, Zeng Gong, Zhang Zai, and Cheng Hao. Song Shenzong called him "a famous and successful career for three dynasties, and a moral and literary poem for all ages." Later generations honored him as a great scholar and a great writer. 】

The video has finished playing.

Others in the court were envious, jealous, and even indignant. They thought that their writing was no worse than those six people. Why were they great figures while they had no trace at all in history?

Some people even tried to sow discord between Ouyang Xiu and Sima Guang because the two had different political views.

But Sima Guang saw through it at a glance and he disdained it.

The Su family's door was even more crowded with people. Among the Eight Great Masters of Tang and Song Dynasties, Su Xun and his two sons occupied three places!

What does this prove? They are really awesome!
