Ding Wei's Life and Behavior in Song Dynasty.

Ding Wei in Song Dynasty was resourceful and versatile, and he knew everything about astrology, calligraphy and painting, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs. His prose pursues Han and Liu, while his poetry pursues Fu. He was once known as "a great scholar today".

Ding Wei in Song Dynasty was a genius, clever, "the book never forgets anything" and could recite thousands of words after reading it. Ding Wei, a native of Song Dynasty, was in Jingzhou (now Gansu) in his early years, and served as an official with his father Ding Hao. Seeing that Ding Wei was brilliant and brilliant in the Song Dynasty, his father's colleague Dou Zhuo praised him: "This son will definitely become a big official in the future." So I promised my daughter. Wang Yucheng, a famous litterateur in Song Dynasty, once served as Changzhou county magistrate in Pingjiang (present-day Suzhou). In Song Dynasty, Sun Hezeng and his good friend wrote an article to pay their respects. King county magistrate read the article and praised it, saying that "this article has been written since Tang Hanyu and Liu Zongyuan". Wang Yucheng later called him "a great scholar today", and his poem was Du Like Fu. Eileen Gong in Kunshan is usually conceited and seldom praises others, but he admires Ding Wei's articles in Song Dynasty, which can be compared with Han Yu and Liu Zongyuan in Tang Dynasty. He is studious, knowledgeable and rote-memorizing. He knows everything about astrology, painting, calligraphy, piano, chess, calligraphy and poetry.

Smart and witty

Once the emperor asked, "What was the price of wine in the Tang Dynasty?" Ding Weisong blurted out, "300 per bucket." The emperor asked him how he knew, and replied, "There is a poem by Du Fu as evidence,' There are exactly 300 coppers in one gulp'." One day, Song Zhenzong was enjoying flowers and fishing with the imperial concubine. After fishing for a long time, he didn't catch any fish. He was very unhappy, frowning and saying nothing. The ministers didn't know what to do, so Ding Wei ran up in the Song Dynasty and wrote a poem with a smile: "The birds crow and surprise the phoenix over the flowers, and the fish are afraid of catching the dragon's face late." Song Zhenzong was very happy to see him so clever and praised him again and again. Seeking truth from facts, Ding Wei Song Dynasty was diligent as an official, had a strong ability to deal with emergencies, and did a lot of useful things.

Ingenious Craftsmanship to Build Jade Zhao Qingying Palace

Ding Wei in the Song Dynasty could use his head in everything and was measured in everything. One example is the ingenious creation of Yu Zhao Qing Ying Palace. In April of the second year of Dazhong Xiangfu (1009), Ding Wei Song Dynasty was responsible for the construction of Zhao Ying Palace in Qing Yu. The project is large in scale and grand in renovation. The building is divided into 2,665,438+00 areas, with more than 3,600 trees in total. In addition to money, there are three problems in the project: first, building a palace requires a lot of soil, and there is little open space in the capital, so it takes a lot of labor to dig a long way in the suburbs; Second, the construction of the palace requires a lot of building materials, which need to be shipped from other places, and the Bianhe River is in the suburbs, far from the palace, and many people need to be transported from the dock to the palace; Third, Beijing has removed a lot of rubbish, such as broken bricks and tiles, which is also very troublesome. After careful consideration, Ding Wei Song Dynasty formulated a scientific construction plan: firstly, several large and deep ditches were dug from the construction site, and the excavated soil was used as new soil for construction to solve the problem of new soil. In the second step, Bianshui was introduced into the dug ditch from outside the city, and the wood and stone were transported by rafts and ships, which solved the transportation problem of wood and stone. Finally, after the material transportation task is completed, the water in the ditch is drained, and the garbage on the construction site is filled into the ditch, so that the ditch is leveled again. Kill two birds with one stone, not only save time and money, but also make the site orderly, so that the traffic and life order of the city will not be greatly affected by the construction. The project was originally expected to be completed within 65,438+05 years. However, the Song Dynasty in Ding Wei recruited thousands of craftsmen and ordered them to work around the clock. As a result, it took only seven years to complete, which won the appreciation of the emperor. "Ding Wei built a palace in Song Dynasty" became a typical example of engineering theory.

Don't use weapons to appease the border people.

During the Chunhua period (990-994), Ding Wei Song Dynasty was ordered to deal with the ethnic minorities in the Xialu area because of unbearable oppression. He put emphasis on appeasement and unity, did not move a single soldier, and properly stabilized the situation, which was appreciated by the court. The kings of Sichuan and Shaanxi rebelled, and the imperial court mobilized troops to resist, and the result turned to the bandits. These people are familiar with mountains and rivers, capture counties, plunder men and women, and are enemies of the government. The Song Dynasty ordered the disposal of Ding Wei. As soon as he arrived, he ordered a truce, ventured into the cave to meet his leader, and told the court to appease him, claiming that he would be pardoned and would not be killed. They were very grateful for giving them robes and silks, expressing their willingness to pay tribute to the court from generation to generation, and vowed to burn stone pillars at the border, and the southwest region was peaceful from then on. In Song Dynasty, Ding Wei adopted the method of exchanging salt for grain, which solved the disadvantages of salary in Kuizhou and Wanzhou, and at the same time reduced the labor of border people to transport imperial grain over a long distance. He also allowed horses raised by Qiannan people to be freely exchanged in the market. He personally planned and operated the construction of Kuizhou walled city to strengthen border defense. Song Zhenzong once asked Ding Wei how to keep the border defense stable for a long time in the Song Dynasty, but the ethnic minorities dared not mess around. Ding Wei replied in the Song Dynasty: "As long as the officials sent by the imperial court don't take credit for making trouble, they can live in peace."

Crossing the Yellow River skillfully and retreating the enemy tactfully.

In the first year of Jingdezhen (1004), the Song and Liao wars broke out. North Khitan fighters went south, and the people were dismayed. People in northern Henan rushed to cross the river, and thousands of people took refuge to cross the river every day, but the boatman invited Li and refused to cross the river in time. Ding Wei was ordered to deal with this matter in Song Dynasty and took decisive measures. He quickly took out several death row prisoners from the prison, pretended to be boatmen and beheaded them on the river. When the boatman saw the officials beheading and killing people, he dared not fool around again. Therefore, the Song Dynasty in Ding Wei organized people to ferry day and night. In less than three days, everyone north of the Yellow River can cross the Yellow River. Then, he selected young people from the refugees and divided them into several pieces by the Yellow River hundreds of miles away. All of them raised flags, sounded golden drums and struck Diao Dou, and the sound could be heard hundreds of miles away. The Khitan people didn't know the inside story, thinking that the Song side was prepared, so they retreated and left, and from then on, they were "within the territory".

Harnessing water conservancy can serve multiple purposes.

In the first year of Tianxi (10 18), when Ding Wei was the magistrate of Shengzhou (now Nanjing) in the Song Dynasty, the Houhu in the north of the city became a dry lake because it was not treated for many years. His predecessor rented the bottom of the lake to the people, with 76 hectares of land and more than 500 taxes. After Ding Wei came to power in the Song Dynasty, after investigation, many problems were found, so he demanded that this part of the tax be reduced or exempted, and asked to send troops to organize excavation and management, return farmland to lakes, store water and plant water to raise fish, feed the hungry and increase income; In case of severe drought, you can kill two birds with one stone by irrigating farmland.

Tax deduction

During the period of Dazhong Xiangfu, Ding Weisong was appointed as the Chinese ambassador to Pingjiang, and later served as the secretariat of Suzhou. He also did good deeds for his hometown, and once "invited the DPRK for the village, and was exempted from paying money". People are very grateful. "The villagers have been virtuous so far, and the temples are full of people."

rectify the economic order

Ding Wei was a famous economist in Song Dynasty. At that time, the national grain tax was very chaotic, and the amount of grain tax was different every year, and it was raised at will, making the people miserable. Ding Wei, as the third envoy in Song Dynasty, made a special investigation, formulated corresponding policies, and proposed taking the six-year registered permanent residence and financial income of Xianping as the standard, and then collecting it according to this data every year and reporting it to the court for the record, so as to benefit the national economy and people's livelihood. The court will play and give a letter of commendation. During his tenure, Ding Wei also compiled many monographs reflecting the financial situation in the early Song Dynasty and adopting coping strategies, which became an important document for later generations to study the economy of the Song Dynasty. Catering to the emperor, "the world is evil."

Ding Wei in the Song Dynasty, who was originally a learned man, became evil and cunning for his own rights and was denounced as a "traitor".

Ding Wei in Song Dynasty was very cunning. In order to climb up and consolidate his power, he had to distort his soul, please the emperor, and do things "hopefully to achieve his goal", so he was "regarded as sinister in the world"; People called him "Five Ghosts" together with Wang Qinruo, Lint, Chen Pengnian and Liu Chengxuan.

Ding Wei did many bad things in the Song Dynasty. Here are some explanations:

First, encourage the emperor to build large buildings. Song Zhenzong wants to build a jade Zhao Qing Yinggong in Miyagi, but ministers around him are against it. When Song Zhenzong summoned him, Ding Wei of the Song Dynasty replied, "Your Majesty has the wealth in the world. He built a palace to serve God and used it to pray for his heirs. I am willing to argue with ministers if they obstruct me. " Since then, no one has dared to remonstrate. Ding Wei Song Dynasty also led the construction of Huiling Pass, and the statue of the Jade Emperor was used as the welcoming ambassador, Jing as the ambassador and Yi Wei as the assistant, and many luxurious palaces were built for the emperor, which cost a lot of time and money.

Second, collude with eunuchs and frame Zhongliang. Ding Wei catered to the emperor blindly in the Song Dynasty and gave him bad ideas. Naturally, he was opposed by upright people. Kou Zhun hates his worship and flattery. Ding Wei was so miserable in the Song Dynasty that he tried his best to exclude Luo Zhi. In the fourth year of Tianxi (1020), Kou Zhun was expelled from the imperial court and exiled to Xiangzhou (now Anyang, Henan), and then to Daozhou (now Daoxian, Hunan) and Sima. In the first year of Ganxing (1022), Ding Wei colluded with eunuch Lei Yungong in the Song Dynasty, revised the "imperial edict", blamed Kou Zhun for Song Zhenzong's illness, relegated to Leizhou (now Guangdong Haikang), and finally died. Ding Wei took the opportunity in the Song Dynasty to purge all the ministers who treated Kou Zhun well in North Korea.

Third, use superstition to fool the emperor. The Song Dynasty claimed to be the descendant of the immortal Ding (a mythical figure). He built a fairy pavilion and a fairy cave in his garden. Every day, he "sings magpies in the morning and watches the wick at night." Although he went out and returned to his residence, he would also eavesdrop on other people's languages and use Bu Jizhao. " When Ren Yuqing responded to the request of an imperial envoy, he always reported how many cranes were dancing in the halls and was ridiculed as "crane phase". When Song Zhenzong visited the Taiqing Palace in Bozhou, Ding Wei of the Song Dynasty presented a white deer and 95,000 Ganoderma lucidum. When Song Zhenzong returned to Chongzhou from Mount Tai, the Song Dynasty in Ding Wei presented a small turtle played by local children to the emperor, which was recorded in history. He manipulated Liu Demiao, a female Taoist priest, and described a turtle raised at home as the embodiment of the old gentleman, and praised it himself.

Ding Wei of the Song Dynasty was finally demoted to be the steward of Yazhou (now Guangdong) and joined the army because of his evil deeds. His four sons and three younger brothers were demoted. When the property was confiscated, bribes from all over the country were found from his home, which was against discipline.
