In terms of classics, he wrote seven volumes of "Mao Shi's Answers to Miscellaneous Questions" and one volume of "Interpretation of filial piety", which showed his interest and cultivation as a Confucian student. Although none of the books have survived, fortunately, a small amount of the book has been preserved due to the selection of his books. Among Wei Zhao's writings, the "Chinese Solution" is the most important and has the greatest influence. This is the earliest surviving annotated copy of the "Chinese" in China, and it is also a reading classic for studying the history and culture of the pre-Qin Dynasty in China. Many ancient bibliographies call it the Spring and Autumn Outer Transmission Chinese, also known as the Chinese ZhaoZhuo. The "Chinese" is one of the earliest national history books in China, which is said to be the Spring and Autumn Period Lu Guo Shi Wei Zhao (204-273), Wu County Yunyang (now Zhenjiang Danyang) people, the character Hongsi, the Three Kingdoms of the Eastern Wu famous scholar. To avoid secrecy, Wei Zhao changed his name to "Wei Yao".
Wei Yao
He was good since he was a child. After entering the career, he first served as a staff member of the Chancellor, Xi'an Ling, Shang Shulang, and later Sun and Zhongshuzi. After Sun He was deposed as crown prince, he was reappointed as a waiter at the Yellow Gate. Sun Liang ascended the throne and Ge Ke recommended him to do Taishi Ling. During his tenure, he codified it with his colleagues. After Sun Xiu ascended the throne, he served as Zhongshu Lang and Doctor Of Theory, and once modeled it on the official collection of Liu Xiangguo in the Western Han Dynasty. After Sun Hao ascended the throne, he was given the title of Gaoling (高陵) and Zhongshu (中書仆射), responsible for the revision of the history of the country. He was upright and outspoken, and was resented by Sun Hao because Sun Hao's father, Sun He, wrote the emperor's "Benji", was imprisoned, and was later killed. The Book of Wu, which Wei Zhao presided over and compiled, consisted of 55 volumes and was a chronicle of history. It meticulously records the history of the State of Wu during the Three Kingdoms period and has a high historical value.
Romance of the Three Kingdoms
Later, when he wrote the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, he used this book as one of the blueprints on which he relied. Wei Zhao's writings do not show his multifaceted talents. For example, he wrote three volumes of the "Dong ji", examined the calendar and calendar of the Qin and Han dynasties; wrote the "Yinyi of the Book of Han" and annotated the "Book of Han"; and wrote the "Chronicle of the State of Sanwu County", which is a record of the literary and historical geography of the counties under the jurisdiction of the State of Wu, and wrote a volume of "Official Position Training" and "Interpretation of Names", all of which supplemented or refuted Liu Xi's "Interpretation of Names" of the Han Dynasty linguistics. In terms of classics, he wrote seven volumes of "Mao Shi's Answers to Miscellaneous Questions" and one volume of "Interpretation of filial piety", which showed his interest and cultivation as a Confucian student. Although none of the books have survived, fortunately, a small amount of the book has been preserved due to the selection of his books. Among Wei Zhao's writings, the "Chinese Solution" is the most important and has the greatest influence.
Chronicles of the Three Wu Counties
Absorbing the strengths of all, collecting the essence of various scholars, coupled with their own thinking, finally completed a systematic and complete new annotation. Wei Zhao's "Chinese Solution" pays attention to the compatibility of the objects of use, which not only serves the general history researchers, but also allows the "beginners" to read and benefit. The "Chinese Solution" has two characteristics: one is that the text of the annotation is simple and simple, the language is concise and easy to understand; the other is not to be bothered, to the point, and not to overly entangle other topics when explaining a problem. Therefore, the Song Dynasty scholar Huang Zhen praised Wei's annotations as "concise" in the Ri Scribe. The modern scholar Wu Zengqi also believes in the "Chinese Wei Xie Supplementary Narrative" that "its words are strict and clean, and it is deeply rooted in the Han people's annotated book righteousness".
"Chinese Solution"
The Chinese Solution preserves a large number of ancient notes on the Han and Wei Dynasties, which are extremely valuable original historical materials. Liang Qichao believes that "wei zhaozhu of the Chinese is one of the ancient books of Han annotation" The Han Dynasty has developed classics and masters, so Chinese academic circles have always attached great importance to the research results of Han and Wei scholars, but the interpretation of ancient books by the Han Dynasty has been passed down quite little. Wei Zhao's "Chinese Interpretation" quotes the annotations of the "Chinese" by Han Dynasty classicists such as Jia Kui and Zheng Zhong since the Han Dynasty, and embodies the research results of the "Chinese" in the Han and Wei dynasties. The Compendium of the General Catalogue of the Four Libraries compiled by Ji Yun of the Qing Dynasty pointed out: "Since Zheng Zhong's "Interpretation", all the books have died together. ... The old precepts of pre-Confucianism are often scattered in them.
Compendium of the General Catalogue of the Four Libraries
The exegesis and historical facts in the book provide rich and precious materials for future generations to study classical texts, "multi-asset research". Therefore, it can be said that the "Chinese Solution" actually has the dual academic value of hermeneutics and historical materials. The "Chinese Solution" first used the method of "collective solution" to annotate ancient books. The so-called collective solution is to absorb a large number of the results of the previous people's exhortations, and to select from them what they think is correct the editing method of the commentary "Chinese Solution", which is also extremely rigorous, and the content of its annotations is cited in the source. Wei Zhao cited a large number of classic texts in the commentary to enrich the annotations so that readers could understand the original text. This includes the "Three Rites" and the "Zuo Zhuan", "Shijing", "Poetry Preface", "Yi", "Analects", "Book", "Book Preface", "Xia Shu", "Shang Shu", "Zhou Shu", "Filial Piety", "Ram Biography", "Nongshu", "Spring and Autumn", "Zhou Chunqiu", "Shiben", "Erya", "Xia Ling", "Guan Zi", "Sima Fa", etc., which are extremely rich and indicate the source one by one.
Left pass
Because the Chinese is closely related to the Zuo Zhuan, he cites the Zuo Zhuan as many as 97 times. Compared with the contemporaneous practice of the "Zuo Zhuan" Du pre-annotation without indicating the source of the quotation, Wei Zhao embodied the rigorous and honest annotation character. The "Compendium of the General Catalogue of the Four Libraries" says: "The Annotations of the Chinese are the most ancient." Not only that, "Chinese Solution" is also the most vital "Chinese" annotation so far. The commentaries of the Jia, Zheng, Wang, and Yu families before Wei Zhao have not been passed down, nor have the Notes on the Chinese of Kong Chao of the Jin Dynasty after Wei Zhao. During the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, although some scholars conducted comprehensive proofreading, interpretation and supplementary annotations to the Chinese Solution, the unique status and value of Wei Zhao's Chinese Solution cannot be replaced, and it is still the study of Ancient History and Culture in China.
