Xu Hui (627–650), a native of Huzhou (present-day Changxing, Zhejiang) and a concubine of Emperor Taizong of Tang, was born in the first year of Zhenguan (627) and was brilliant and intelligent at a young age. The old history says that she was "born in May and was able to speak, recited the Analects at the age of four, and belonged to the text at the age of eight." Once, in order to test his daughter Wencai, his father Xu Xiaode asked her to imitate "Leaving sorrow" to write "Small Mountain Chapter", she helped Si Cheng, and her father was shocked, knowing that his literary name was difficult to drown. Sure enough, her article was read by people and soon spread all over the world. Tang Taizong heard his talent and accepted him as a talented person.
After Xu Hui entered the palace, he did not release the scrolls in his hands and went through the history of the scriptures, which was very appreciated by Emperor Taizong. Soon, he was promoted to a concubine, and then moved to Chongrong, becoming one of the nine concubines. In the later period of Zhenguan, Xu Hui was in full swing, and his relationship with Emperor Taizong became more and more sincere. However, she was not good at favoring and loving, but she was able to be like Empress Wende in the early years of Zhenguan, when there was a deviation in the behavior of the emperor, she dared to advise and correct the shortcomings of the times. In March of the twenty-second year of Zhenguan (648), she wrote a sparse article to Emperor Taizong of Tang, which was later called "Shu Taizong's Dismissal of Soldiers", and it was this omission that made Xu Hui's name go down in history, flow through the ages, and become a strange woman remembered by people in the times.
Twenty years after Zhenguan, Tang Taizong's administration was obviously deviated, and he frequently requisitioned and extensively repaired the palace. Xu Huihuishi's advice and analysis of the harm caused by years of conquest and large-scale construction made Tang Taizong approve of her views and reward her generously.
In the twenty-third year of Zhenguan (649), Emperor Taizong of Tang died, and the infatuated Xu Hui remembered Gu Yuzhi's grace, mourned the disease, refused to be healed, and only wanted to follow Emperor Taizong. She said to her relatives: "I am willing to die early, the soul has a soul, I have to serve the garden, and my zhizhi is also." He also composed seven poems and lianzhu texts to show his ambition. Yonghui died of illness in the first year (650) at the age of twenty-four. When the bad news came out, Emperor Gaozong sighed. In recognition of Xu Hui's loyalty to the Tang Dynasty and his innocent feelings for Emperor Taizong of Tang, Emperor Gaozong posthumously presented him as a concubine of Emperor Taizong and buried the stone chamber of the main peak of the Zhaoling Tombs, giving him an extremely grand ceremony of decoration.

Xu Hui's extant works total seven, including five poems, "Pseudo-Xiaoshan", "Nagato Grievance", "Autumn Wind Hangu Yingzhao", "Endowed with Beauty in the North" and "Jin Taizong"; Wenfu two "Fenghe Imperial System Xiaoshan Fu" and "Zhi Taizong's Military Strike".
Among them, according to the research statistics of scholars, there are a total of thirty-seven Existing Tang poems with the title of "Nagato Complaint", involving thirty-three poets, and Xu Huizuo is the only concubine and female author of the Tang Dynasty poetry with the same title. The Autumn Wind Hangu Yingzhao was compiled as an enlightening imperial textbook to teach the Tang Dynasty princes and princes how to compose poems and compositions. The Fenghe Imperial System of Xiaoshan Fu (Bonghe Imperial System Xiaoshan Fu) was written in the twenty-first year of Zhenguan (647), when Xu Hui accompanied Tang Taizong to recuperate at Cuiwei Palace, which is the work of Tang Taizong's "Xiaoshan Fu". The Qing Dynasty scholar Wang Qiansun considered these two works to be the origin of the literary form of "Hefu".
"Emperor Taizong's Dismissal of Soldiers" is a rare outstanding female political essay in history, which has been valued by historians of all generations and has included many important classics, such as the Old Book of Tang, the New Book of Tang, the Zhenguan Politician, and the Zizhi Tongjian.

However, the Royal Universe of the Holy Emperor is a failure of the previous rules. Cut the wide knowledge to be narrow, suppress the high heart and be humble. Fear of ease and affection, rejoicing in inaction. In the spring of the season, the first light enters the summer, the dew pond platform, the smoke forest fence. Rui Qing is happy, and he is wise and prolonged. Si Yu appreciates to ascend, not to be beautiful in Mao Yu. The cut of shuhua yue, the transfer of the alien float. Erqi watched Chen's heart and pretended to leave the palace. Han Ren from the bottom, with Kun Fei Chong, divided into the forest of the hui wood, point heavy mountain of emerald red. The leaves are fresh and not trees, and the flowers are scattered and planted without bushes. Miscellaneous windows with willows, cross-covenant masonry of Guitong. The dust gathers towards the mountains, and the night dew is clear and the sunset is empty. Shadow promotes the round peak three inches of the day, the sound is low and the mountain is looking for the wind. The wind blows lightly, the sun slopes the shade steps, the butterflies leave powder at the end of the rocks, and the bees search for incense at the ridges. The grass is facing the wave and the silhouette, and the stone is flowing and reversing. Although it is strange, it is not left in the divine eye. The name of Pi Kun Lang is beautiful, and it is described in the heavenly system. If you count the shape of the fence, you will bow down to the sill, and look up at the Zhu Yang. The contempt of the cliffs of shame, the grace of the lotus overlook. The term insurance ends in one country, and the heavens are entrusted to Qianling.
Emperor Taizong dismissed the army from service
Since the beginning of Zhenguan, there have been two years, the wind and rain have been smooth, the years have ascended to the age, there is no harm in water and drought, and there is no famine in the country. The constant lord of the Former Han Wu Shouwen, the rune of yudeng carved jade; the yongjun of qi huan's small country, and the matter of shangtu mud. His Majesty pushes merit to himself, and lets virtue not dwell. The 100 million omen poured out their hearts, and the gift of completion was made; the cloud pavilion was humbled, and the ceremony of ascension was not unfolded.
This merit is enough to chew on a hundred kings and a thousand generations. However, the ancients had a saying: "Although you do not rest", there is good and good. Shou Chu Bao Mo, Saint Zhehan and. It is the one who knows the great karma who is easy to be proud, and may His Majesty be difficult; the one who starts well is difficult to end, and may His Majesty be easy. Over the years, there was the army of Liaohai in the east and the battle of Kunqiu in the west, the soldiers and horses were tired of armor, and the boats and cars were tired of losing. And recruit servants to leave the pain of death and life; because the wind and waves block, there is a danger of drifting. A husband ploughs hard, and countless ten are gained; if a ship is damaged, hundreds of grain is poured. It is the peasant workers who have exhausted their luck, fill the infinite waves, and the others who have not yet been captured, and the army that has been lost. Although in addition to the fierce and violent, there is a national convention, but the silent martial arts play the soldiers, the sages abstained. The former King of Qin annexed the Six Kingdoms, which was a sign of rapid peril; Jin Wu had three sides and turned into a cause of defeat. Is it not a matter of arrogance and arrogance, abandoning virtue and pouring out the country; seeking profit and forgetting harm, and indulging in lust? So he made Yo-Yo Liuhe, although guangguang did not save his death; he screamed at Li Shu, because of the evil to become his misfortune. It is the art of knowing the vast and very peaceful, and human labor is the source of chaos. May His Majesty Bu Ze be merciful, be humble and compassionate, reduce the troubles of military service, and increase the benefits of "Zhan Lu".
Concubines are also known as the foundation of government, and you are expensive in doing nothing. The work of stealing civil engineering cannot be done at the same time. The Northern Que was first built, the Southern Camp Cuiwei, which was not overdue, was created by Yuhua. Although the mountains and rivers are restored, it is not the labor of no construction; the damage is also damaged, and the cost of labor is quite labor. In the end, the covenant was made by Maoz, and the tiredness of the wood and stone was rejoiced; if he made and hired people, it was not without the disadvantage of annoyance. It is the food of the lowly palace, the peace of the holy king, the golden house Yaotai, and the pride of the lord. Therefore, there is a king of the way, to be a man of ease, and a king of no way, to be happy. May His Majesty make it inexhaustible when it is timely, and it will be pleasing to all.
Fu Zhen plays tricks, but the axe of the lost country; the pearls and jade splendid embroidery, the poison of the heart. Stealing clothes play delicate, such as changing in nature; the profession is rare, if it is made by gods. Although Chi Hua is in the season customs, it is really defeated in the pure wind. It is the party that knows that lacquerware is not a way to prolong rebellion, and it is the art of people who rebel; the art of the jade cup is the art of death, and the use of it is the death of the country. The source of Fang's extravagance must not be suppressed. Practice is frugal, but fear of extravagance, practice in luxury, how to control the future? His Majesty Fu Wei's Ming Jian is invisible, his wisdom is boundless, and his mysteries are in the Lin Pavilion, and he has explored Ru Lin as much as possible. The traces of a thousand kings ruling chaos, the traces of hundreds of generations of safety, the number of rises and downs, the number of blessings and blessings, the opportunities for success or failure, the solid also swallows the heart of the house, the cycle is within the eyes, it is a long-term inspection of Chen's heart, and there is no false word or two. It is not difficult to know, it is not easy to do, and it is not easy to be proud of karma, and it is easy to be at ease. Fu Wei suppresses the intention of tailoring, prudence is always the beginning, cut the lighter than the heavy virtue, choose the latter is to replace the former wrong, then the name and the sun and the moon are infinite, and the virtue and the Qiankun are eternal.
