Part of "Le Yi Theory"
The forty-four lines of "On Le Yi", the representative works of Wang Xizhi Xiaokai, and Chu Suiliang's "Bibliography of Wang Xi of the Right Army of Jin" were listed as the first. Below, we will carefully enlarge the work with commentary for book lovers to read:
The Treatise on Le Yi is an essay written by Xiahou Xuan (Taichu) of Wei during the Three Kingdoms period, which deals with the famous Yan general Le Yi in the Warring States period and his conquest of various countries. Chuan Wang Xizhi copied this article, and it was paid to his son Guannu. Some people have verified that the official slave is Wang Xianzhi. This handwriting was discussed as early as the Southern Dynasty, which was not far away from the Eastern Jin Dynasty.
Chen and Sui Shi Zhiyong regarded the Treatise on Le Yi as the first of Wang Xizhi's canonical books. According to him, "Liang Shimo is out, and the world is precious." Since Xiao and Ruan, they are not eager to learn.
In Chen Tianjia (650-565), people were able to offer Emperor Wen, the emperor gave the king of Sixing, and the king was in the pastoral realm, that is, to see it. I used to hear its wonderful, now I see its truth, read and play for a long time, and bandits are in the morning. After the Shi Xingxue, it was still the deposed emperor. The deposed emperor was both a martyr and a princess of Yuhang, and the princess was valued by the emperor, Heng Jia Bao'ai, and the kings of the Chen dynasty, all of whom could not be sought. And the unification of the world, the same language in all parts of the world, everywhere to pursue, tired to get. ”
In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, the "Treatise on Le Yi" was entered into the Inner Province, and was once examined and appraised by Chu Suiliang and identified as a genuine work. The Chu bibliography of Wang Xi's handwriting collected by the Inner House is the "Bibliography of the Right Army", and the "Treatise on Le Yi" is listed as the first of the Wang's main books, and it is noted that "forty-four lines, the book pays the official slaves".
Tang Taizong's most valuable handwriting is the Preface to the Orchid Pavilion and the Treatise on Le Yi. The Treatise on Le Yi in the collection of the Tang Dynasty was first given to the chancellor during the Zhenguan period.
Chu Suiliang's "Records of Tataben (Le Yi)" says: On April 9, 639, in the thirteenth year of Zhenguan (639), Feng Chengsu of the Zhihong Wenguan was ordered to give six people, namely Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Gao Shilian, Hou Junji, Wei Zheng, and Yang Shidao, "so there were six copies outside. Wu Pingyi's "Secretary of the Law of Xu" says: "Emperor Zhigaozong also edicted Feng Chengsu and Zhuge Zhenta's "Treatise on Le Yi" and several miscellaneous texts, and gave six people, including the eldest son Wuji, who were in the foreign world. "The scope of transmission of the facsimile is limited to relatives of the Emperor or close ministers, and its appearance is rare in the world.
Known as Wang Xizhi's "first book", the "Treatise on Le Yi" is full of legendary atmosphere, historical and aristocratic, and can be compared to Kaizhong Lanting.
