Keywords: New Book of Tang Dynasty Place Names Correction Error
The New Book of Tang adds a lot of tang dynasty history on the basis of the old book of Tang, and is an important document for the study and governance of tang history. However, due to the omissions of historians and later generations of scribes, the New Book of Tang not only inherited some of the errors of the Old Book of Tang, but also gave rise to some new problems. The issue of place names in the New Book of Tang has been discovered and analyzed by previous generations, and the six newly discovered errors are hereby identified as follows, so as to teach the Fang family.
1 From Chengshan Jihai to Xiongjinkou, the thieves are on the verge of jiangtunbing (vol. 111, "Biography of Su Dingfang", p. 4138). Press: Old Book of Tang, vol. 83, Biography of Su Dingfang, p. 4138). Press: The Old Book of Tang, vol. 83, "The Biography of Su Dingfang": "Dingfang from chengshan Jihai to the mouth of the Xiongjin River, the thief Tun soldiers according to the river." "Old Tang Shu Collation Survey Record" volume 38 yun: "Shen Ben, 'city' as 'Cheng'." Book 986 of the Book of The Yuangui of the Book of Fortune: "Dingfang led the people to become mountains and seas, and the thieves relied on Xiongjinkou to resist the official army." Zizhi Tongjian vol. 200 "Xianqing 5th August" Article Yun: "Su Dingfang led troops from chengshan Jihai, and Baekje refused to accept it according to the mouth of the Xiongjin River." So is the Suding Francis Sea "Chengshan" or "Chengshan"? According to the New Book of Tang, vol. 38, Geographical Chronicle II, "Dengzhou Wenden County" article Notes: "There are mountains. And "Yuanhe County Atlas" volume 11 "Dengzhou Eight to" Tiaoyun: "North to The sea three miles." To the west, four miles from the sea, when China crosses the (Dao) Road to Silla Bohai. Due north micro east to the north shore of the sea Duli town of 520 miles. To the east is 490 miles from the border of Wenden County. Another "Wenden County" strip cloud: "Into a mountain, one hundred and eighty miles northeast of the county." "It can be seen that Chengshan is indeed close to the sea and close to Baekje, and the place where The Francis Sea of Suding should be in Chengshan. Therefore, "Chengshan" is regarded as "Chengshan".
2 When Russia abandoned the thief and returned to himself, Gao Zu gave the Yongning Order, and led his troops through Hebei (vol. 111, "Cheng Wuting Biography", p. 4146). According to the Zizhi Tongjian, vol. 189, "March of the Fourth Year of Wude", "Dou Jiande signed the Pule Order Ping'en Cheng Ming Zhen to descend, and shang yao gave the name Zhen Yongning Ling." Husan Province Zhuyun: "Yongning County belongs to Luozhou; Ben Bears Ears, Yining changed its name in the second year, then belonged to Xiongzhou." According to the "Old Book" ("Old Book of Tang" volume 83 "Cheng Wu Ting Biography") to remove the name of Zhenyong Nian Order, this "New Book" is a mistake. Yongnian, Han Guangping County also, Sui Renshou first year, changed to Yongnian, with Huanzhou. Both the Zizhi Tongjian and the New Book of Tang record that the official position conferred by Cheng Mingzhen was "Yongning Order", but Hu San Province discovered that the Old Book of Tang contained the "Yongnian Order", and when Cheng Mingzhen descended to Tang, Yongning County belonged to Xiongzhou and Yongnian County belonged to Huanzhou, so it was mistaken to think that "Yongning" was "Yongnian". Hu's point is correct. Volume 412 of the Yuangui of the Book of Records: "Tang Cheng Mingzhen, Gao Zu Wude Chu Yao yao gave the Yongnian Order, and led his troops through Hebei. The New Book of Tang also reads in the same volume: "Liu Hei min trapped HuanZhou, and Ming Zhen and The Assassin Chen Junbin extricated themselves." "It can also be proved that Cheng Mingzhenshi is the Yongnian Order of Puzhou. Therefore, "Yongning" is regarded as "Yongnian".
3 During the reign of Yongchun, Yongqiu ordered Yin Yuanzhen to sit on the throne of the tao and remove officials from office (vol. 112, "The Biography of Han Siyan and Han Huan", p. 4165). Press: "In the second year of (Jing Yun), the inspector of Yushi Han Huan Chen Shizheng Said: 'At the beginning of the courtiers stealing Yongchun, Yin Yuanzhen appointed Yong County Order of Qi Prefecture, and the women in the boundary built roads, and YuShi bombed them. "Tang Huijiao" vol. 62 Yun: "In the second year of Jing Yun, he supervised the imperial history Han Huan Chen Shizheng, and Shang Shu said: 'The subject dares to chen zhi according to what his eyes and ears hear, and he wishes to pay less attention to introspection.'" At the beginning of the courtiers eavesdropping on Yongchun, Yin Yuan (Zhen) served as the yong county commander of Qi Prefecture, and the women in the boundary built roads, and Yushi bombed them. Volume 532 Yun of the YuanGui of the Book of Records: "Han Huan, Jing Yunzhong was the overseer of the imperial history, and Shangshu Chen Shi Zheng said: 'The subject dares to chen by what his eyes and ears hear, and he wishes to pay less attention to the province.' At the beginning of the courtiers eavesdropping on Yongchun, Yin Yuanzhen was appointed as the YongXian Commander of Qi Prefecture, and the women in the boundary built roads, and Yushi bombed them. The three books of the Tongdian, Tang Huijiao, and Yuangui of the Book of Records all record that the county order appointed by Yin Yuanzhen is the "Yongxian Order", and it is clearly pointed out in the territory of Qi prefecture. According to the Old Book of Tang, vol. 38, Geographical Chronicle I, yongqiu belonged to Bizhou and Yongxian belonged to Qizhou. Therefore, "Yongqiu" is regarded as "Yong".
4 In the second year of the first century, Guangbi entered Luoyang, the army was defeated, and Yuan Li migrated to the army and was killed by his subordinates (vol. 136, "Li Guangbi's Biography of Li Fei Yuanli", p. 4592). Press: "YuanGui of the Book of Fortunes" volume 940 Yun: "Duan Xiushi was the judge of the Anxi Festival, Li Fei Yuanli, the defeat of Mount Yao, the army migrated to Yicheng, Yuan Li was killed by his subordinates, and Zuo Yiduo was killed, and Xiu Shi was alone in wisdom." Zizhi Tongjian, vol. 222, "Baoying Yuanyuan Jianyue" article: "Zhenxi and Beiting camp soldiers tuned in Yicheng, and also killed Jiedu to make Li Fei Yuanli." "The New Book of Tang is "Yicheng", the Yuangui of the Book of Records, and the Zizhi Tongjian are all "Yicheng". According to the Old Book of Tang, vol. 120, "Guo Ziyi's Biography Attached to Guo Xi's Biography": "After the military rebellion in the Houhe River, the killing of Jiedu made Li Guozhen and Li Feiyuan li yu. Book 358 Yiyun of the Book of Yuangui: "The rebels killed his commander Li Guozhen and Li Feiyuan li in Daizhou. It can be seen that Li Feiyuanli was killed in Daizhou, and according to the Old Book of Tang, vol. 39, Geography II, and the New Book of Tang, vol. 39, "Geography", Daizhou has Yicheng County. Therefore, "Wing Cheng" is regarded as "Wing City".
5 In Guangde, Tubo entered Kou, Emperor Cishan, and the group of thieves wandered between the five grains of Nanshan Mountain, east of Yu, west of Qi, and vertebrate plagiarism was innumerable. Xue Jingxian, a guest of the Zhao Dynasty, was a defensive envoy of the Five Gorges Valley of Nanshan, attracting troops to arrest and not conquering for a long time. More commanding jade to beg thieves. Bao Yu did his best to get the thief plant and tunnel, divided his troops to guard the valleys, and made Li Chongke riding four hundred, attacking him from Taolin and Yuchuan.

"The New Book of Tang" is "Taolin Yuchuan" and the "Zizhi Tongjian" is "Taoyu chuan", which of the two is? According to the Taiping Huanyu Chronicle, vol. 30, "Fengxiang Province," "Fengxiang Province, Yu County": "There are two cities in the west of present-day Yu, ten miles apart, and now they are divided into remaining sites, where the city lives, commonly known as the Tao Yu River, and there is a road through Hanzhong." "It can be seen that the Tao Yu River is in Fengxiang Province. According to the Old Book of Tang, vol. 38, Geographical Chronicle I, Taolin County belongs to Shaanzhou. According to the above-mentioned "group of thieves between the five grains of Nanshan Mountain, east of Yu, west of Qi", it can be seen that the five grains of Nanshan are between Yuzhou and Qizhou, while Taolin County is adjacent to Yuzhou, and YuXian is adjacent to Qizhou, so it is possible for Li Baoyu to attack nanshan Wugu from Taolin or Yuxian County. However, according to the above-mentioned "Thief Gao Yu escaped from the city", and the Old Book of Tang, vol. 39, "Geographical Chronicle II", "Liangzhou XingyuanFu" Article Yun: "In the first year of Wude, the general administration of Liangzhou was placed in charge of the four prefectures of Liang, Yang, Ji, and Xing." ...... Chenggu, Sui old. In the second year of Wu De, it was changed to Tang Gu. In the second year of Zhenguan, it was restored to chenggu. It can be seen that the city belongs to Liangzhou. Liang Prefecture was not far from Yu County, and unlike Shaanzhou, Gao Yu was attacked in Yu County. Therefore, "Taolin Yu Chuan" is regarded as "Tao Yu Chuan".
6 Liu Zong entered the dynasty and married Shi Mei, but asked To analyze Ying and Yan Prefectures, and used Shi Mei as an observation envoy (vol. 147, "The Biography of Lu Shimei", p. 4763). According to the Old Book of Tang, vol. 162, "The Biography of Lu Shimei": "Liu Zong of Huiyou Prefecture is willing to release the military handle into the dynasty, please use Zhang Hongjing instead of himself, please analyze ying and Mo prefectures, use Shi Mei as a marshal, and the imperial court will follow it."

And Lu Shimei was the observer envoy at the time of Muzong. Therefore, "鄚" is regarded as "Mo".
