Lu's resume

In the first year of Jing You (1034), Xia Qing went to Beijing to take the exam for the first time. Although she didn't pass the exam, she is very famous in the capital. At that time, Mr. An Sushen was an official of North Korea. After seeing his trial draft, I appreciated it very much and showed it to my colleagues. He said indignantly, "Is there such an inappropriate article?" In the second year of Li Qing (1042), Xia Qing tried it again and was promoted to Jinshi with his brother Lu Qiaoqing. He first served as the master of Gaoan County in Duanzhou, Guangdong Province, and soon served as the deputy commander of Jiangning County, Jiangsu Province.

In official career, although Lu's talent is not outstanding, people appreciate her profound knowledge. Ouyang Xiu wrote: "Cambodian books came to China last year and surprised everyone with words. The horses rushed to avoid, and Tianzhu let the forest first. " Speak highly of him. When Ouyang Xiu and Song Qi were ordered to compile the Book of the New Tang Dynasty, because he knew that Lu was proficient in literature and history, they recommended Lu to the court together with Song Qi. In the first year of Renzong (1048), Lu was appointed as the official and secretary of compiling and editing Tang books. Lu is not only an accomplished historian, but also a wise and sober political mind. When Song Renzong elected a minister, he asked him for advice on how to govern the country. Lu Xiang told five current events and said: "The situation in the world cannot be safe forever. We must prevent problems before they happen, and when things come to an end, we are afraid to work together. " Put forward nip in the bud. He further suggested to Song Renzong to restore the original garrison system as a basis for consolidating border defense.

Lu Xia Qing spent most of his life reviewing history. But for literature, especially for poetry, there are also some accomplishments. Lu's life is not bumpy or vigorous, but he is down-to-earth, diligent and striving for perfection in his work. He doesn't care about his utility, works hard and pays a great price. .

In the first year of Xining (1068), Xia Qing was transferred to the Ministry of War as Foreign Minister. He knew the imperial edict and was recorded by fellow initiates. With the request of "breaking down from overwork", he was appointed as Yingzhou well-known. After he took office, he suddenly got a strange disease, became smaller and smaller, and died like a child. Buried at the foot of Baiyan Mountain in Huihuang Antang, there is no tomb today.

Xia Qing's former residence is in the west of Mu Zong Courtyard (now Quanzhou West Street Old Inn). People built a stone archway called Ziwei Square nearby to commemorate him.
