"Song History Ouyang Xiu Biography" Classical Chinese: Ouyang Xiu, the word Yongshu, was born in Luling. Four-year-old lonely, mother Zheng, keep the oath. I taught myself, and my family was poor, so I learned books by drawing. At an early age, Ouyang Xiu was so talented that he could recite the book once. In adulthood, it is more of a character and a reputation. Song Xing lasted for one hundred years, but the genre of the article still exceeded five seasons. I carved a couple in parallel, full of enthusiasm. Scholars are humble and old-fashioned, humble and weak. Su Shunyuan, Shun Qin, Liu Kai, Mu Xiudai, have a good heart, but they are not strong enough. With the tour, I got Tang Hanyu's manuscript in the scrap book, and I was fascinated by it.

Translation: Ouyang Xiuzi Yongshu, a native of Luling. My father died when I was four years old, and my mother Zheng never got married. She personally taught Ouyang Xiu to read and study at home. Because her family is poor, she can only use reeds as pens and write in school. In his early years, Ouyang Xiu was brilliant and never forgets his reading. When I am an adult, I am better and have a good reputation. It has been more than 100 years since the founding of the People's Republic of China in the Song Dynasty, but the genre of the article still inherits the stereotypes of the Five Dynasties, deliberately carves words and sentences, and pursues duality, resulting in the stagnation of the style of writing. Most scholars stick to the rules, and the knowledge of the article is shallow and the style is low. Su Shunyuan, Su Shunqin, Liu Kai, Mu Xiu and others all tried to create ancient prose, and strongly advocated using ancient prose to change the style of writing at that time, but they all failed to do so because of lack of pen power. When Ouyang Xiu worked with his uncle Ouyang Ye in Suizhou, he found Han Yu's posthumous work "Collected Works of Mr. Changli" in a local waste book basket, and he was amazed after reading it. So I searched for its essence with my heart, so that I forgot to eat and sleep, and I was determined to catch up with him and keep pace with him.

At this time, Ouyang Xiu began to make friends with Athena Chu, writing ancient prose together and discussing current affairs. They are teachers and friends, make friends with Mei, recite poems, and become famous all over the world with their articles. Later, Ouyang Xiu returned to Beijing and North Korea and was promoted to Guan Ge for collation.
