According to the survey, You Zhu compiled the articles of the above eight essayists into the Collection of Eight Writers in the Early Ming Dynasty, and the names of the eight great writers began. The Wenbian compiled by Tang Shunzhi in the middle of Ming Dynasty only took the articles of eight masters in Tang and Song Dynasties, and all the articles of other writers were rejected. This has played a certain role in shaping and spreading the names of the eight masters in Tang and Song Dynasties. Soon after, Mao Kun, who was highly respected, selected eight articles according to the compilation of Zhu and Tang, and compiled them into Notes of Eight Masters in Tang and Song Dynasties, so the names of the eight masters in Tang and Song Dynasties were decided.
The Eight Masters of Tang and Song Dynasties were the core figures who presided over the ancient prose movement in Tang Dynasty. They advocated prose and opposed parallel prose, which had a far-reaching influence on the literary world at that time and later generations.

Brief introduction to life
Prose writer in northern song dynasty. The Han nationality, together with its sons Su Shi and Su Zhe, are called "Three Sus", and they are all included in the "Eight Masters of Tang and Song Dynasties". The word Ming Yun is called Lao Quan. Meizhou Meishan (now Sichuan) people. Han Qi recommended him as secretary of Wen 'an County, bookkeeper of provincial schools and master book. He is good at prose, especially in political theory, with clear exposition and vigorous brushwork. And Jia. There is also a girl named Xiaomei. Her name is Su Xiaomei.
It is said that I didn't study until I was 27. After studying hard behind closed doors for more than ten years, I have made great progress in my studies. In the first year of Injong Jiayou (1056), Su Shi and Su Zhe were introduced to Bianjing, and Ouyang Xiu, a bachelor of Hanlin, was called. Ouyang Xiu admired his works, such as Power, Balance and Tactics, and thought that they could be comparable to Jia Yi and Liu Xiang, so he recommended them to the court. At that time, officials and scholars rushed to tell stories, and the literary name flourished. Three years after Jiayou, Renzong called him to the Scheeren's office to take the exam, but he said that he was ill and refused to reply. For five years, Jia You served as the secretary of the provincial school book lang. Later, he wrote "Tai Chang Li" with Yao He, the magistrate of Xiangcheng County. Soon after writing, he died and was posthumously awarded as Guanglu Temple Cheng.
Su Xun is a man with political ambitions. He said that the main purpose of his composition is to "speak the important words of the moment" and "apply them to the present". In some important argumentative papers, such as Lun Heng and Shang Shu, he put forward a set of ideas of political innovation. He believes that to govern the country well, it is necessary to "assess the situation" and "smooth the situation." He advocated "respecting prestige", strengthening official management, breaking the laziness, inspiring the enterprising spirit of the people all over the world and revitalizing the Song Dynasty. Because Su Xun has a good understanding of social reality, is good at summing up historical experience and lessons, and takes history as a mirror, although his political essays inevitably have some pedantic and biased views, many of his views are still to the point.
Ceng Gong said that Su Xun "likes to call a spade a spade very much". Su Xun's 65,438+00 books, Tactics, Counting the Enemy, Balance of Power, Secret Books of Shang Dynasty, Enemy System and Book of Shang Emperor, all discuss military issues. In the famous Six Kingdoms, he believed that the downfall of the Six Kingdoms was to bribe the State of Qin. In fact, it is a mockery of the past and accuses the humiliating policy of the Song Dynasty. The investigation of the enemy further reveals that the essence of this policy of bribing the enemy is to cripple the people. The Military System puts forward the idea of reforming the military system, restoring military morality and credibility. The Bill of Rights systematically studies the strategic and tactical issues. In Ji Xiang, he pointed out the strategic mistake that Ji Xiang could not attack Xianyang. He also emphasized the strategic and tactical principles of avoiding reality, attacking the weak with strong force, making good use of surprise soldiers, suspecting soldiers, making a quick decision and winning by surprise.
Su Xun's lyric prose is not much, but there are also many wonderful chapters. In "Sending Stone to the North", he hoped that Shi, a friend of Qidan, would not be afraid of violence, write lightly and have momentum. The Portrait of Zhang Yizhou describes Zhang's deeds of governing Yizhou, and creates an image of a feudal official who is lenient and loves the people. The Story of the Wooden Rockery expresses feelings with things, praising a spirit of self-reliance and integrity.
Su Xun's prose has distinct arguments, strong arguments, sharp language and strong persuasiveness. Ouyang Xiu praised him for his "excellent eloquence" and said that "going up and down, fast-forward and fast-out, must be built deep and then stop" ("Epitaph of the Soviet Union in the Lord's Book of Wen 'an County, Bazhou"); Ceng Gong also commented on his articles "Pointing at things, using the introduction to explain things" and "Worry must not be chaotic, the boss must not flow" ("Mourning for Su Mingyun"), both of which are more pertinent. The artistic style is magnificent and varied. Some articles are also good at twists and turns. Su Xun also evaluated his works as "poet's softness, poet's simplicity, Meng Han's softness, moving and merging, Sun Wu's simplicity" in his book "Going to the Field with Dense Density". The language of his article is concise, concise and meaningful; But sometimes, he can be on a par with others, and he is especially good at making vivid and wonderful metaphors, such as "The Story of Brother Zhong Fu Ziwen", which uses geomantic omen as a metaphor and makes a natural description, which is an example.
Su Xun's paper is also full of penetrating insights. He opposes flashy and weird prose and advocates learning ancient prose; Emphasize that the article should be "sincerely convinced" and write "from the heart"; It is advocated that articles should be "made for things" and "words must be in the present". He also discussed different styles of * * * and different writing methods. He is especially good at evaluating the styles and artistic features of various essays from comparison. For example, the first book "The Connotation of Shang Ouyang" commented well on the articles of Mencius, Han Yu and Ouyang Xiu.
Su Xun doesn't write many poems, but he is good at writing five ancient poems, which are simple and vigorous. Ye Mengde, a poet in the Song Dynasty, commented that his poems were "profound and tasteful, and the words were like their prose" (Shi Lin Shi Hua). His two poems by Ouyang Yongshu, White Rabbit, Seeing the Mountain off, Yan Shu, Answering Two Covenants and Waiting for Wu, are excellent, but their overall achievements are far less than those of prose.
Su Xun's works were popular in various versions in the Song Dynasty, and most of them had been lost. Today, there is a remnant of the Collected Works of Lao Su in the Northern Song Dynasty. Popular books include four-part collection, shadow song banknote book, nail polish collection, volume 15.
Some works
"Clouds rise on the mountain"
Clouds rise in the mountains, and bang is fog. Bandits are ruthless, and heaven is indifferent. I enjoy the mountains and rivers and complain for me. Don't be afraid of the sky, mourn the earth. Good morning, Tanya. It is going to rain, so I won't tell you. A leopard cannot change his spots.
"There is a horse in the wild."
If you have a horse in the wild, you will never moan. If the children are not good, there will be no one else. I'm in the stable, but I don't drive. I'd rather be in the wild than meet me. Bald hair in the frost, send meat to wolves. Would rather be hurt than hurt, but people don't care? No children, I forgot.
"Whoever touches it will have a calf."
If you meet someone, you will calf, but you won't give up. Because the child has touched the corner? God really loves me, but my son wants me. Hate what I do and take what I have? If you don't want to touch your son, why don't you worry?
Asahi rebirth
When the sun rises, it will help the people. There are achievements in the house and farming in the wild. There is business on the road and a levy on the side. Natural persons can only be peaceful if they support each other. Well, what am I? Wandering around, no camp. Who was with me at the beginning, and who is in charge of me now? I will ask, where is Ann?
"I am a guest in the end."
I'm a guest. I'm at the door. Come to my hall and drink my respect. Every now and then, I'm shy, I'm not diligent. How much do you want from me? Please resign. Guest refers to the host: I am an only child. Have more children, blame them deeply, and expect them to be virtuous.
Forty Rhymes of Yan Shu
Ren Junbei came to write Taizhou Monument. Because it was written by Duke Lu, he left me without hesitation. Duke Lu is a hero, generous and honest. I remember at the end of Tianbao, I became a fisherman. The brave don't deserve it, and the Confucian scholars cross the banner of righteousness. Thanks to dozens of counties for fighting Qiang Yi. The new momentum is still weak, and Humali has not failed. It's strange to sigh that you can't win the war. Brother Gao died in Changshan, and the martyrs were in tears. Lu Gong is not a sworn enemy, and the world is bustling. Why don't you love it enough to step on whale fins? Gong Gu was not afraid of death, but I was really sad at that time. I miss my friendship, but I'm sorry I was born late. I have seen different views recently, and I don't know who the author is. It is strange that Yungong is not dead. Generally speaking, everyone belongs to the public mentality. Try not to die and comfort this bitterness and sigh. I want to cry in the cemetery, so I don't know. Love his life, often lost. This word comes from the public hand, and it is sighing when you see it. The public is not good at books, and the pen and ink are chaotic. Think about his life, or abandon Luqi? This word is strange and magnificent. Jun is extremely deep and steady, and his bones are old and broken. Direction is harmony, connection is not opposition. Like a person, nose, eyes, ears, eyebrows. They are different from each other and related to each other. Being far away from the stars in the sky is like being at loggerheads. Left and right self-assembly, or beating or dusting. The bone is strict and the tail is heavy, so it is not dangerous to place it. There is no weak lintel in a tall building. Antiquities should be proportional, and legal objects should be regular. Think from the beginning, be solemn, and don't feel inferior. It is not good for Liu Yu to end her troubles. The brushwork has not deviated from the customs, and laymen dare to peek. When I saw this word, I had nothing to do with it. A car can learn a hundred things, and an axe is easy to do. Round and round, there is a bright moon, I want to draw the shape. Who knows loyalty, strength is still there. So, a few pieces of paper made me sigh again.
Ouyang Yongshu White Rabbit
The eagle fights the plain, and the animals are chaotic. Seize it when it is boundless, and it can't be protected if it is upside down. The white rabbit couldn't bear to kill it, sighing and loving its old age. The only child was detained for a long time and the wildness began to be corrected. Noble people know the cage and they can embrace it gradually. Who knows that the mountains are wide and the caves are good. The leaves are high and the group is like a sweep. Heterogeneity does not hide itself, but shines in the wild. It's getting late for a hunter to laugh at him and hide his pain. When riding a toad, you can use your own pestle.

Edit this passage of Ceng Gong (10 19- 1083).
Ceng Gong (10 19— 1083) was born in Nanfeng (now Jiangxi). Northern Song Dynasty writer, one of the "Eight Masters of Tang and Song Dynasties". Song Jiayou became a scholar in the second year (1057). When I was a child, Ceng Gong and his brother Zeng Ye studied hard together and studied hard, but Bai You showed a good talent. His younger brother Zeng Zhao called him "born alert, not like a teenager" in "A Journey to My Dead Brother", and he had a superior memory, "reading tens of thousands of words and blurting it out". In the second year of Jiayou (1057), at the age of 39, he was admitted as a scholar and was appointed as the Taiping Judicial Army, from which he embarked on his career. The following year, Feng recalled to Beijing, edited and collated books in the history museum, moved the museum to collate, and recruited collating talents. In the second year of Xining (1069), he served as the governor of Qi, Xiang, Hong, Fu, Ming and Bo, and was quite famous. In the third year of Yuanfeng (1080), he moved to Cangzhou and passed the capital. When Zongshen summoned him, he proposed that economy was the key to financial management, which was quite appreciated by Zongshen, and he left three classes to serve. In the fourth year of Yuanfeng, Zongshen was good at historiography, so he appointed the History Museum to compile the Outline of the Five Dynasties, but failed. In the fifth year of Yuanfeng, he worshipped Zhongshu Sheren. He died in Jiangning House the following year. When operating Buddhism, we pursue "Wen Ding". Ceng Gong's performance on the political stage is not outstanding, but his greater contribution lies in his academic thought and literary career.
Ceng Gong's thought belongs to the Confucian system. He agreed with Confucius and Mencius' philosophical views, emphasizing "benevolence" and "sincerity", and believed that as long as he was open-minded and introspected and cultivated himself sincerely according to the golden mean, he could understand and dominate the world. Politically, he opposed the merger policy and advocated developing agriculture and opening up roads. When he was a local official, he always took "benevolence" as his bosom, "except rape, arouse its evil; Get rid of their sufferings and caress their kindness "(Preface to qi zhou's Miscellaneous Poems). Due to the limitations of his thoughts, he had some different views on Wang Anshi's political reform. He believes that the denser the law, the more disadvantages it will have. However, Ceng Gong does not advocate obeying the law. Dissatisfied with the insistence of the incumbent, he put forward "Buddhism, so it is necessary to be flexible and not necessarily the same;" Tao, so the foundation is also indispensable "(Preface to the Catalogue of Warring States Policy). It advocates the necessary reform of the law without losing the will of the former king. In action, he was able to uphold the new law. When he was an official in qi zhou, he was able to practice the Garbo law and let the people of Jizhou live and work in peace and contentment. Ceng Gong made great achievements in prose creation, and was an active participant in the poetry innovation movement in the Northern Song Dynasty. He learned from Sima Qian, Han Yu and Ouyang Xiu, and advocated "Ming Dow as the body of writing", which extended Ouyang Xiu's view of "keeping promises and having a proper way to speak" to historical biography literature and inscriptions. He said in the Preface to the Book of Southern Qi Dynasty: "The so-called good historian in ancient times must know his way and his things, his way must be suitable for the world, and his wisdom must be enough to understand his feelings and be difficult to express, so he can do whatever he wants." He emphasized that only "people with moral ability to write articles" can make a big fuss and write "Ming Dow". Most of his articles were written by Ming Dow, and his writing style is known as "quaint, upright and harmonious". According to the legend in the History of Song Dynasty, he "stood between Ouyang Xiu and Wang Anshi, rich but not annoying, simple but not unlucky, and stood out from the crowd and became his own family". His argumentative essays analyze whispers, clarify doubts, stand on one's own feet, analyze and distinguish difficulties, and show no edge. Tang Lun is one of the representative works, which assists the argumentation of ancient things, emphasizes gains and losses, has fluent language and slow pace, and can be compared with Ouyang Xiu's "The Theory of Partisan". His narrative prose is rich in information and emotion, and his arguments are pertinent and vivid. The famous Mo Chi Ji and Yue Zhou Zhao Gong Disaster Relief Ji are profound, forceful and reasonable. His book, preface and inscription are also good articles. "Letter to Mr. Ouyang Scheeren" and "Ruling Book of Upper Fuzhou" have always been regarded as model essays. The narrative is euphemistic and profound, the language is concise and concise, and the structure is very rigorous. The Preface to the Catalogue of Warring States Policy is magnificent and highly respected by people. When Quincy's style prevailed, his prose and Ouyang Xiu's prose, a sculpted style, tended to be simple and natural. Wang Anshi once praised: "Ceng Zi's articles are rare in the world, and water is a bucket of Jianghan stars." (Gu Ceng Zi). Su Shi also said: "the meaning of drunkenness is not in wine, so it is difficult to go to heaven;" Ceng Zi is unique in anecdotes, lonely and ugly. "Ceng Gong is also good at writing poems, with more than 400 poems handed down from generation to generation. His poems are either magnificent or euphemistic, all of which are profound and interesting. Forced Rent depicts the tragic situation of "nine-year-old summer withers and the sun burns Wan Li", and "although the plan sells strong, the potential is not weak", calling for "violent officials should be removed and floating fees can be cut", similar to Wang Anshi's poem "Bing". The quatrains "West Building" and "South of the City" are fresh and meaningful, and have the charm of Wang Anshi's poems in his later years. Most of his poems about things are full of new ideas, such as the poem "Singing Willow": "Chaos is not yet yellow, and I am crazy about the east wind. I wonder if there is frost in heaven and earth. "Willow is a metaphor of traitors and evil forces, which is vivid and profound. Ceng Gong's poems are detached in style and fresh in words, but some of them also have the common fault of expressing classical Chinese in Song poetry, which is also covered up by the title, so people don't pay much attention to them. Ceng Gong has also made great achievements in sorting out ancient books and editing historical books in his life. He collated The Warring States Policy, Shuo Yuan, Biography of Lienv, Li Taibai Ji and Chen Shu. Because of his visit, the two books, Warring States Policy and Shuoyuan, were not lost. Every time he writes a book at school, he has to write a preface, so as to "distinguish academic chapters and examine the edges in the mirror." "Ceng Gong has a good collection of books, with more than 20,000 ancient books; Collect 500 volumes of seal cutting and name it "Jin Shi Lu". Ceng Gong's research is rigorous, and every force scholar strives to think deeply and seek, so as to know its importance and subtlety, and to "gallop up and down, make more achievements". His younger brother Zeng Zhao said that his article "was handed down from generation to generation in less than ten days at the end of the month, and the bachelor and doctor recited it by hand, lest it was too late" (Zeng Zhao's Death of My Brother, see the end of Yuan Feng's manuscript). Ceng Gong has trained a group of famous Confucian masters, and Chen Shidao, Wujiu Wang, Zeng Zhaohe and Ceng Bu have all been used by him. " "Song and Yuan Learning Cases" says: "Chen Wuji (a teacher) is eager to learn and study hard. Taking Ceng Zi Valley and Zigu as points, he went to Baidu, and he made a promise and prepared without hesitation. "Ceng Gong's article also has a great influence on later generations. Zhu in the Southern Song Dynasty "loved his strict words and lived in taste and chanting". Wang, Mao Kun and Gui Youguang, essayists in the Tang and Song Dynasties in the Ming Dynasty, and Liu Dahuai, Yao Nai and Qian Rusi of Tongcheng School in the Qing Dynasty all took his articles as the standard. " "The History of the Ming Dynasty, Wang Chuan" contains: "Caution is the text, and Qin and Han Dynasties are the beginning, which means that there is no merit in Tokyo. European writing was burned, and old works were imitated, especially in Ceng Gong; If you don't accept it at first, it will change over time. "Ceng Gong's life is rich in works, with 50 volumes of Yuan Feng's codex, 40 volumes of Yuan Feng's codex, and the external set 10, which is world-renowned. Besides, he also wrote Records of Wei Dao, Biography of University Students, Compilation of the Book of Rites, Miscellaneous Affairs, Strategies of Politicians in Song Dynasty, Textual Research of the Book of Songs and so on. After the Song Dynasty crossed to the south, the codex and foreign codex were lost, and only 50 volumes of Yuanfeng codex remained. Another 30-volume old title "Longping Collection" was written by Ceng Gong, but there were some mistakes in previous research.
Edit this paragraph summary.
In the Zhenyuan and Yuanhe periods of the Tang Dynasty, Liu Han rose and inspired the ancient prose movement, which made the prose of the Tang Dynasty reach its peak. For a time, ancient Chinese writers rose up to attack it, forming a climax of "everyone coughs and spits, and everything becomes a pearl". In Song Dynasty, Ouyang Xiu mainly recommended and guided Wang Anshi, Ceng Gong, Su Xun, Su Shi, Su Zhe and other essayists, which had a great influence on their prose creation. Among them, Su Shi's inheritance and development of the literary style he created is the most brilliant.
At first, the prose works of these eight writers were jointly edited and published by You Zhu in the early Ming Dynasty. Later, Tang Shunzhi also selected the works of these eight writers in Wenbian. In the middle of Ming Dynasty, Mao Kun, an ancient prose writer, edited the former and named it Notes of Eight Masters in Tang and Song Dynasties, with a volume of *** 160. "Eight Great Masters in Tang and Song Dynasties" got its name from then on.
The eight masters in Tang and Song Dynasties are the general names of the eight masters in Tang and Song Dynasties, namely Han Yu and Liu Zongyuan in Tang Dynasty, Ouyang Xiu, Su San, Wang Anshi and Ceng Gong in Song Dynasty.
When did the title of "Eight Masters in Tang and Song Dynasties" come into being? According to the survey, You Zhu compiled the articles of the above eight essayists into the Collection of Eight Writers in the Early Ming Dynasty, and the names of the eight great writers began. The Wenbian compiled by Tang Shunzhi in the middle of Ming Dynasty only took the articles of eight masters in Tang and Song Dynasties, and all the articles of other writers were rejected. This has played a certain role in shaping and spreading the names of the eight masters in Tang and Song Dynasties. Soon after, Mao Kun, who was highly respected, selected eight articles according to the compilation of Zhu and Tang, and compiled them into Notes of Eight Masters in Tang and Song Dynasties, so the names of the eight masters in Tang and Song Dynasties were decided.
