If Fu Yi is close, then the tourists are far away, and there are few rulers, this eternal truth was put forward by Wang Anshi, one of the eight great masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties, and Wang Anshi's life can be said to be hard and hard.
But no matter how we can't bury his outstanding contributions to Chinese history, to the entire literary community, and to the dynasties at that time, so today we will talk about Wang Anshi's past and present lives.
First of all, Wang Anshi was born in 1021, died in 1086, and lived for 65 years, this age, under the dynasty at that time and the medical level at that time, was also a high lifespan, he was a Han Chinese, today's Linchuan District, Fuzhou City, Jiangxi.
He was a famous thinker, politician, writer and reformer during the Northern Song Dynasty, who held many official positions and achieved many very proud achievements.
The thing that had the deepest impact on the political situation and literary circles at that time in his life was the change of law, that is, the famous Wang Anshi change of law.
However, things did not go as smoothly as he expected, and Wang Anshi's transformation of the law, like the ancient Chinese movement he advocated, was very bumpy and bumpy, but it was precisely such a bumpy process that made his transformation more necessary.
So let's look at the life of Wang Anshi, who was born into a family of eunuchs and his father was an official of the imperial court.
Legend has it that Wang Anshi was very diligent and liked to learn from an early age, and most importantly, he liked to read, he once toured the north and south of China's great rivers and mountains, and enjoyed the great rivers and mountains of the motherland.
Of course, during such a tour, he also had the opportunity to contact the living conditions of people in various regions, which was a process of his contact with social reality, and in this process, he understood the painful life of farmers very deeply.
Therefore, from a young age, he was determined to serve the country, to improve the living standards of the people, and to make his outstanding contribution to the entire nation.
At the age of 22, he was successfully admitted to the jinshi, and held very large official positions in Yangzhou and Changzhou, during which time he was very sympathetic to the people and was able to correct any wrong behavior in the local area.
And the construction of water conservancy, so that the local people's livelihood is more prosperous people are also very supportive of him. But his upright personality sometimes makes it inevitable that he will be excluded by others.
For example, in 1058, he sent a letter of ten thousand words to Emperor Renzong of Song, making a profound exposé and criticism of the overall official position and imperial examination situation at that time, as well as the decadence of extravagance and unbridled self-control, and he hoped to carry out political reforms.
Moreover, strengthening the defense of the country's frontiers and proposing to collect the world's wealth for the world's expenses was an advanced financial principle, but his advanced and insightful avant-garde propositions were not valued by the imperial court.
In 1067, when Emperor Shenzong of Song succeeded to the throne, Wang Anshi was appointed to the capital of Jiangning, Jiangning, which is today's Nanjing, and he was summoned as a Hanlin scholar, and after his successful defeat as a chancellor in 1069, he was ready to show his ambitions.
The reform of the law began, and the entire Green Shoots Act, the Market Law, the Immunization Act, and the Fangtian Equal Tax Law, as well as the Military Armor Protection Law, the BMW Act, adopted an all-encompassing, large-scale and drastic reform, and reformed the imperial examination system.
It is hoped that more talents can be cultivated, and such reforms are also fruitful, whether it is the strengthening of military strength or the improvement of national treasury revenue and expenditure, which is a very good and positive change to the entire people's livelihood and the country at that time.
However, this change and that change also touched the meaning of some old aristocrats and conservative forces, and interests such as Sima Guang and others tried their best to dissuade and want to stop the reform, but Song Shenzong, although sometimes shaken.
It can also be said that he insisted on it for a while, but in the end, forced by helplessness, in the face of the opposition of all sentient beings, Wang Anshi was forced to resign his minister.
In his political life, what we need to learn is to continue to carry out reforms, because reform is the only driving force for the great rejuvenation and development of the Chinese nation.
