Read works of Wen Daya at 历史大观 |
Sui, Sui Daya Cengshi degree for the Orient House, Chang Wei. Father of disease after the name of Xie Xiao-level home line, serve the parent side. Cause 10 year (615 year), Li Yuan staying in Taiyuan, the town of Jinyang soldiers, then cited for the Left government in mind Daya room to join the army. Cause 10 years in May, Lee raised his army, Taiyuan, south off Sui, Wen Daya large general government shall be credited room to join the army, specifically in charge of drafting and other confidential clerical volunteer army work. Tang Wude first year (618), Chang Li Yuan emperor, emperor etiquette for the formulation rests with Daya et al. In that year, Dr. Li Yuan Sheng Daya as Huangmenshilang, Xuanyou promoted to Shan Tung Road, to larger units, the rank of minister of works.
Takenori late, eldest son of Crown Prince Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin contention throne struggle intensified. Wen Daya adhere to the "choice of W. Main and things" feudal training section, follow and support of Li Shimin. People also see the world as confidants Daya, let him out of town, that foreign aid strategy should be to Luoyang. "Xuanwu Gate Incident", the Li Shimin board the throne, Daya troops to the capital promoted to minister of rites, Shoujue Liguo Gong. Soon died.
Wen Daya relatively short life, his legacy to future generations the main work as a "Confidential Memorandum Tang Venture" three volumes. This is mainly an account of the history books to raise an army official Li Yuan, ascended the throne as emperor of Taiyuan 357 days in the history of things written in the Tang Wude years. As Wen Daya more than a year at this time, for the general government recorded a large room to join the army, so "has lived" in the mind more than for their own personal experience of witnessing heard, more solid and historical Xiang. Spread this book for ages the importance of historical research Early start. However, in many places and the later "Old Tang," "New Book of Tang" and other history books are different in mind. For example, the section on Lee's record Taiyuan magnanimous act, "Confidential Memorandum" written as Li Yuan as its mastermind, the "Old Tang", "New Book of Tang" is denoted by Li Shimin its mastermind. Many scholars believe that "Confidential Memorandum," the mind is more credible, all with the "play live" is written in different persons, shall be "Confidential Memorandum" by the subject in mind. In fact, many of China's official history writing technique, and more from the hands of future generations, the so-called "death repair history of the country", after a lapse of inevitable corruption far. Even from the hands of contemporary people, Yihuo from witnesses of the hand, it may not be every historian can do Historical Textbook. The official history of the inter-generational marble needs a concrete analysis of specific issues, the so-called "Record" should be so.
However, no matter how hard, Wen Daya's "Tang Qijuzhu business," Lee is the son of Early start the process of a very important historical records, for each of Li Yuan, Li Shimin's history of its workers, both has a high historical value.
