As Wang Anshi, who advocated changing the law and trying to be strong in the Song Dynasty and advocating retro in the article, had a mixed reputation after his birth, different people saw different Wang Anshi from different angles, and then these people took private goods to shape Wang Anshi into the appearance of their own eyes. In the end, the real Wang Anshi is like, thousands of years later, we still can't be consistent, but in the article, Wang Anshi, who is one of the eight masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties, absolutely has his status.
Eunuchs have always been radicals who are uneasy about the status quo, and Wang Anshi is no exception. His merits cannot be evaluated in a word. It's too complicated, after all. In the official arena, his vision of selecting people is also average, so the helpers he appoints are eager to change the law one by one and achieve success and success in one day. As a result, it finally rebounded from the people, which attracted the unanimous obstruction of conservatives, and the law could not be changed.
Interestingly, his vision of choosing officials is not good, but his vision of choosing a son-in-law is very good, and the husband he chose for his two daughters is generally good. In history, Wang Anshi's two daughters recorded are both married to good people, interestingly, both married to Fujian people, perhaps Mr. Wang Lao has a special fondness for Fujian people. Wang Anshi's eldest daughter was married to Wu Anzhi in Tianzhangge, and the second daughter was married to Cai Bian, and not many people knew about him, but his brother was the younger brother of Cai Jing, one of the six thieves during the Huizong period.
Mention cai bian may not think, mention him no one knows, his brother has become a celebrity throughout the ages, although the reputation is not as good, as his younger brother, may feel very wronged, because when he lived, because the political views and Cai Jing are not the same as many times by the brother's suppression and exclusion, after death because his brother became one of the six thieves was implicated and degraded.
When Cai Bian zhongjinshi was in charge of the change of law, she was favored by Wang Anshi and married her daughter to him because she supported Wang Anshi's new law. After his death, his posthumous title was Wenzheng, which shows that the Song Dynasty evaluated him very well. During the Southern Song Dynasty, even if the official position was posthumously degraded, the title was not changed. However, it is because of the reason of chasing depreciation that he has not been objectively evaluated after the Song Dynasty.
It can be seen from here that in the end of the Song Dynasty, the accusations and evaluations of him were still positive, and the reason for being implicated was because of his brother Cai Jing, who supported Wang Anshi in the early stage and was suppressed by the conservative faction, and later opposed Cai Jing being suppressed by the ruling faction, and was always the role of the opposition. He may have been a villain who stood in the wrong line from beginning to end, and for thousands of years, the eunuch gate was as deep as the sea, and as long as he was involved, he could not stay out of the matter.
The three Cai brothers Cai Jing, Cai Xiang and Cai Bian are all quite accomplished in calligraphy, with very different styles, and have achieved a certain height. However, several people have not been objectively evaluated, influenced by Cai Jing, suffered a lot of criticism, and even deliberately ignored.
