In the seventh year of Song Kaibao (974), Zhao Kuangyin ordered general Cao Bin to attack Nantang. Xu Xuan was instructed by Li Yu twice to ask the Song Dynasty to make peace, and told Zhao Kuangyin, "Yu has no fault in serving your majesty as a son serves his father. How can he see the attack? " Mao said, "Do you think father and son are divided into two families?" Hyun can't be right 1 1 month, Xu Xuan and Zhou Weijian played another game. Xu Xuan said, "Li Yu refused to see you because of illness. He dared to refuse the imperial edict and begged for a truce on the orders of Quan Yi." His words were sincere, and he argued with Mao repeatedly, and his voice became more and more fierce. Zhao Kuangyin could not argue, but drew his sword and angrily accused Xu Xuan: "Needless to say! What is the sin of Jiangnan Lord? Just a surname in the world, on the side of the couch, no one can sleep! " Xu Xuan dare not speak again.
After the death of Southern Tang Dynasty, Li Yu followed him into Song Taizu, and his life was more important. Tired of official business, I am a formal servant. Learned and versatile, an elephant was killed, but his courage was not gained. Xuan said, "Ask for it with your left foot." Fruit. Zhao Xun said, "Like bravery, it is at its feet at four o'clock. It's February, so I know. "
Xu Xuan once co-wrote Shuo Wen Jie Zi with Ju Zheng, Ge Tuan and Wang Weigong. It was completed in the third year of Yongxi (986) and printed and distributed. It was called "Great Xu Ben" in history, and edited and published "Tai Ping Guang Ji". In the third year of Taiping Renaissance (978), Xu Xuan was ordered by Song Taizong to visit Li Yu. Li Yu sighed: "I regret killing Pan You and Li Ping by mistake!" When Xu Xuan retired, Song Taizong was so angry that he committed suicide for Li Yu. In the second year of Chunhua (99 1), he was falsely accused by a Taoist priest in Luzhou, and was demoted as a Sima (a state) who marched in peace and difficulty. The state is bitter and cold, but it does not resist brown hair, leading to cold syndrome (wind chill). On August 26th, "Wearing a crown belt in the morning, keeping my hands thin, and restraining the future, I said,' Taoist Mother of Heaven and Earth'." He died at the age of 76. "
The main achievement is that Xu Xuan, an ancient prose, inherited the style of getting married in the late Tang Dynasty, but his body was solitary and beautiful. He wrote an epitaph for Li Yu and recorded it in Song Wenjian. He is the author of "Collection of Riding Provinces" (that is, "Collection of Xu Official Documents") with 30 volumes, edited by his son-in-law. The first 20 volumes were written when I was an official in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the last 10 volume was written after I entered the Song Dynasty. There are "four series" photocopying 30 volumes of old manuscripts of Huang Pilie School, appendix 1. Xu Naichang, a close friend, reprinted the Song edition with addendum 1 and collating 1. There are also "learning from Tianjin and seeking the original" and "Tianjin grasping the secretary". Xu Xuan likes talking about monsters. He has a bright guest, Jiangdong Buyi, who is over ninety years old. He often talks about his birthday, and everything he says is recorded in the Record of God.
When Xu Xuan was in Southern Tang Dynasty, his articles were as famous as Han Xizai's, and he was called "Han Xu". He was also proficient in philology with his brother Xu Kai and was named "Da Xu". Together with Zheng Zheng, he revised Shuo Wen Jie Zi, adding the word 19 and 402 words. They revised and supplemented the world name "da Xu Ben".
Calligraphy Xu Xuan is good at calligraphy and likes Li Chuan. He is also excellent. In the Song Dynasty, Ouyang Xiu's "Postscript and Tail Carving Stones on Mount Taiyi" contained: "In the past, Xu Xuan was famous for his Biography in the south of the Yangtze River, and Zheng Wenbao was also a disciple. He was also famous for his teaching. " Feng Wu's Original Calligraphy in Qing Dynasty said: "A good seal script reflects the sun, and there is thick ink in the center of the painting. As for twists and turns, impartial; But the pen is straight down, so the painting is often positive. " Heilongjiang Provincial Museum has his Fragments of Thousand-character Characters of Seal Script (Song Transcript). Xu Xuan's running script is also well received, and his masterpiece "Personal Sincerity Post" is now in the National Palace Museum in Taipei. The overall structure is stable, but interesting, and the book style is subtle and natural, which is the first example of Song people's appreciation of the book style.
Xu Xuan's poems are simple, simple and natural, which is quite close to Bai Juyi's poetic style. His poems, such as demoting official Qin Zhou to work in the city, sending Wang Forty-five to Dongdu, and sending a doctor to Gaoyou Chen Langzhong, are all from the heart, moving in words, and there is no carelessness. According to legend, Xu Xuan is witty, and whenever he writes, he often doesn't like previewing. If someone asks him to write an article, he will do it at once. Xu Xuan once said that "the speed of writing is strong, the sensitivity of meaning is strong, and the body is slow" ("Reading the County Zhai Lu"), so his poems are more fluent than deep warning. But from time to time, there are some poems, such as: "Jing Quan is a native place, and the anvil is full of autumn sounds" ("Poems of Li Shaobao's Neighborhood in Yuefu"), which shows that his thoughts are far-reaching and meaningful.
Jiang Zuo, a famous literary allusion of San Xu, is based on rich materials of China and North Korea, and the cycling province is the most popular. The left announced to repair the tribute and sent an official to escort him. Courtiers are afraid of lack of words, and it is difficult to choose a prime minister. Excuse me, gens. One ancestor said, "You retreat, I choose." Suddenly, Zuo (Wang Dang) announced that the former temple secretary, with ten illiterate temple attendants, had entered by name. Chen Bi clicked one of them and said, "This man can!" I was surprised in court, but I was afraid to mention it again. The waiter in the temple didn't know why, so he took it and left. When crossing the river, at first, the words were like clouds, and those on the sidelines could not answer, passive, unpredictable and strong. After living for a few days, there was no return, and I was tired and silent. (Excerpted from Feng Menglong's Ming Dynasty Think Tank)
The story goes like this: Xu Kai and Xu Xuan, two brothers, Xu Xi, a native of Jiangning, are known as the "Xu Sanjia" in Jiangnan. They are all famous for their erudition, and Xu Xuan is the most famous. On one occasion, it happened that Xu Xuan was sent by Jiangnan to pay tribute. As usual, officials are required to supervise and accompany him. The ministers of the DPRK were timid because their eloquence was not as good as that of Xu Xuan. Even the Prime Minister couldn't find a suitable candidate to deal with Xu Xuan, so he asked Song Taizu for instructions. Song Taizu said after listening: "You step down for the time being, and I will choose a suitable person myself." After a while, the eunuch publicized the secretary's order in front of the temple and asked him to report the list of ten illiterate waiters in front of the temple. After Mao finished reading it, he ordered one of them and said, "This person will do." Up and down, I was shocked. The Prime Minister dared not ask for instructions again, and urged the ordered people to leave at once. The waiter in the temple, who was ordered by Yubi, somehow sent him as an envoy, and without any explanation, he was going to cross the river. At first, Xu Xuan's words were like clouds, and the onlookers were amazed. The waiter in the temple was at a loss and had to nod. Xu Xuan didn't know his depth, so he chatted with the waiter. They lived together for a few days, but the waiter still didn't reply to Xu Xuan, who was exhausted and never said anything again.
Xu Xuan loves incense and is also a master at making incense. Every moonlit night, he sits in the atrium, lights a wick, and is sincere with the moon. He called the fragrance he made "fragrance with the moon". It is mainly composed of altar, Wan Xiang, storax, chicken tongue, cardamom, frankincense and cogongrass rhizome. The compatibility of fragrant products and Yuezi is strict, and more attention is paid to the processing and blending of fragrant drugs. Its fragrance is elegant, far away and lasting; It has the functions of clearing away evil spirits, nourishing the mind, and harmonizing the body and mind. Suitable for learning piano room, meditation room, meeting guests and welcoming guests.

Appreciation of famous works by famous artists sent Wang Forty-five times
When the soldiers in the sea rise, tears are easy to hang a feast. Pity you for losing rice and cherish this time.
If you want to remember, it seems that you believe it, and the width refers to the later period. Willow with diligent hands, this is the south branch.
Sleepwalking, dreams are melodious and helpless.
The soul dream is melodious and helpless, and the night is still. The incense sticks are always dim, and the screens of households are inclined.
Tan slowly adjusts the silver tube, and the cloud is low and decorated with broken branches. Dawn bid farewell to the world, and the road at the mouth of the cave was credited in spring.
Look at people and read spring and autumn.
If Confucianism is thin, I have nothing to be afraid of who will be overbearing and ashamed. I don't need to read Spring and Autumn Annals.
