The Wei family is a famous family in Guanzhong. Because of the shadow under the door, he became the "Sanweilang" of the imperial army at the age of fifteen, and officials often traveled from Xuanzong. After Xuanzong's death, the Wei family declined and was bullied. He worked as a county magistrate and county magistrate for a period of time in Daizong, and as a secretariat of Chuzhou and Jiangzhou in Dezong's middle age. Later, he entered North Korea as a doctor of Zuo Si, and was soon excluded, and was sent to Suzhou as a secretariat. But he thinks Suzhou is good, and there is a cloud called "Dengxuan Temple Pavilion":
When I first saw the capital of Wu, it was ten miles long and gloomy. Beautiful mountains and rivers, lakes and seas swallow wild. When land and water are combined, arrogance is everywhere. Customs are noisy, rainy and healthy.
He likes to take poetry as his friend, and often sings with the county literati in his spare time. Gu Kuang, Liu Changqing, Qiu Dan, Qin, Jiao Ran and other poets came to Suzhou, where they all hosted a banquet and sang with them. His poems are devoted to describing landscapes and rural areas, and there are also works reflecting the sufferings of the people, among which Suzhou is the most famous:
Wuzhong's wild tea is enough to relieve anxiety, and perch, rice and crab are enough to taste. Many monks hide gentlemen, and Buddhist temples win. There are gardens, rare flowers and rocks, winding pools and high platforms, and lingering fish and birds, and you don't feel the setting sun. ("Wuzhong Old Story")
Zhenyuan died in eight years. "Wu Jun Tu Xu Jing Ji" said:
Gong Wei's virtue was valued by the Tang people, and he was called "Wei Suzhou" in the world. When the Yuan Dynasty was just (Zhen), the county was here and people depended on it. He can also welcome scholars and recruit seclusion and independence ... his talent is different.
Wei is not from Suzhou. Calling him "Wei Suzhou" is a praise for his contribution to Suzhou. In the old society, there was his special shrine in the north of the Confucian Temple.

From the Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, there was a generation of figures, and Guanzhong was the first. There are not only many aristocratic officials, but also literary talents. The Book of the Old Tang Dynasty says about the Wechsler family: "Commentators say that since the Tang Dynasty, clans have been more prosperous than Wechsler. His filial piety poems, inheriting youth and inheriting strength; Ming is better than temperament, then Wan Li is the most; Speaking of etiquette, summer is the most important; Cai's knowledge is profound and narrative is the most important. " These wei ren only talked about before the mid-Tang Dynasty. Wei was the greatest poet in Webster's family in the early days of the golden mean.
Since 15, Wei, Wei, with Sanweilang as Xuanzong's near attendant, went in and out of the palace and pursued pleasure. In his early years, he was unrestrained and overbearing in the countryside, and the villagers were miserable. Since the Anshi Rebellion, Xuanzong went to Shu, lost his job, started reading, ate less and drank less, and often "burned incense and swept the floor". From Zong Guangde to Zhenyuan, he successively served as Luoyang Cheng, Jing Zhaofu Gongcao to join the army, Hubei County Magistrate, other Yuan Wailang, Chuzhou, Jiangzhou Secretariat, Langzhong and Suzhou Secretariat. Zhenyuan retired in seven years. The world calls Wei Jiangzhou, Wei Wei or Wei Suzhou.
From the second year of Su Zong Guangde (764) to the seventh year of Zhenyuan (79 1), Wei spent most of his time as a local official, and some of them lived in Chang 'an's hometown for a short time or served as an official in Chang 'an. In the local office, Wei Qinzheng loved the people, repented from time to time, and was ashamed that he had not fulfilled his responsibilities and wasted his salary. "I was sick, and I remembered my home in the country. When so many people were idle, I was ashamed to get paid." This is a couplet in a poem that Wei wrote to a friend when he was the secretariat of Suzhou in his later years. A group of people with lofty ideals care about the times, love the people and touch future readers. Shen Deqian commented: "It's absolutely true." "Honest words" are words with conscience.
After the expiration of Suzhou secretariat, Wei did not get a new appointment. He is penniless and has no Sichuan resources to return to Beijing as a candidate (waiting for the court to send him to another post). He lived in Wuding Temple in Suzhou and died soon. He was about 56 when he died.
Wei was an idyllic poet, and later he was called Wang Mengweiliu. His landscape poems are beautiful, profound, fresh and natural, and full of commercial flavor. The magnificent scene of Mount Cisai shows the heroic side of Wei. The essence of his pastoral poems has gradually become a political poem reflecting people's sufferings. His masterpiece is Kandja. In addition, he also has some works of emotional generosity and indignation. Some poems are passive and lonely. Wei's poems are very long, and the tone of seven-character poems is beautiful. "In addition to talented people and beautiful women, it is quite ironic" (Bai Juyi's Nine Books with the Same Yuan). The five laws and one breath flow, and the feelings and texts are intriguing. Five, seven absolutely clear rhyme and beautiful lang, "In Xixi Chuzhou", the sentence "Spring tides bring rain late and rush, no boat crossing the field" is picturesque and praised by future generations.

2. Bai Juyi
Ancestral home: Xinzheng, Zhengzhou (now Henan)
Arrived in Suzhou: the first year of Zongbao (825)
Bai Juyi, whose real name is Lotte, was a scholar in the 13th year of Zhenyuan. After many transfers, his official can't do much. At this time, he was discouraged from politics and only hoped to be an official in Suzhou and Hangzhou with beautiful scenery. At the age of fifty, he really got his wish and became the secretariat of Hangzhou. Three years later, he moved to Suzhou.
Although he binges and often looks for "escort girls", he "won't hold a banquet unless he takes ten days off" (Wu Jun's picture continues), which fully meets the requirement of "civil servants don't drink at work". The management of civil affairs is also well done, and it has a good reputation in Suzhou. In particular, the Shantang River from Yanmen to Huqiu was dug, and the riverbank was built, making it a traffic artery in the northwest suburbs, which was praised by people at that time and later generations. "Hundred Cities Smoke Water" said:
When Bai Causeway was not opened, the mountain was in Pingtian, an ear mound. There is a mountain road to the south. Bai Juyi finally dug a canal to connect the north and the south, but when he got to the canal, at the foot of the mountain, it was surrounded by water.
Later, in order to commemorate him, this pond road was called "Bai Gong Di". Because he planted "thousands of peaches and thousands of lilies" on both sides of the embankment, it became a holiday custom to watch lotus in Huqiu and a bustling block in Shantang. He resigned due to illness in September of the following year and only served for more than one year. However, many of his poems are in praise of Suzhou, depicting the beauty of Suzhou like a dream, which greatly improves the popularity of Suzhou.
3. Liu Yuxi
Ancestral home: Luoyang, Henan
Arrived in Suzhou: the sixth year of Emperor Wenzong Taihe (832)
Liu Yuxi, a word dream, was promoted to Jinshi in Zhenyuan nine years. Wang is one of the important figures in the innovation group. His innovation failed and he was demoted to a state official. After being expelled from Beijing, he went to Suzhou as a secretariat. His luck is not as good as that of his good friend Bai Juyi. Before he came to Suzhou, there were floods for a year or two, so what he saw when he took office was:
After the immersion, the material resources were bleak, and the servants were injured by hunger and cold, and they slept in the wild. ("Suzhou is the Prime Minister of Xie Hou")
This was caused by Cui Mi's inaction, so Liu Yuxi had to wipe his ass. So as soon as he came, he was busy visiting the poor, investigating the disaster, and then reporting to the court, asking for relief, tax relief, and letting the victims rebuild their homes. The court approved his report. Less than three years after coming to Suzhou, production has gradually recovered. Because of good governance, the "golden purple" is given, that is, the golden seal and the purple extension are given. This is an honorary award. However, he wrote few poems about Suzhou tourism, probably because he was busy with official duties and had few opportunities to travel. Judging from his later chorus poems with Bai Juyi, he misses Suzhou very much. Suzhou people did not forget him, and included him in the 500 Immortal Temple of Canglang Pavilion.
