The Study Of Zhang Shou’s Political Papers

Zhang Shou was born in the Zhang family of Piling in the late Northern Song Dynasty.In the Li Shi Hui,Qin and Gaozong dynasties,his main political activities were in the Gaozong Dynasty of the Southern Song Dynasty,and he became a famous minister of the Southern Song Dynasty.Zhang Shou was a typical representative of the "trinity" of bureaucrats,scholars and literati in the late Northern Song and early Southern Song Dynasties.He wrote a lot,among which his political papers were the most prominent.Zhang Shou has a total of 90 political papers,mainly with letters and children,which mainly involve two aspects of resisting foreign enemies and reform and internal affairs.In the early days of the Southern Song Dynasty,under the situation of internal troubles and foreign invasion,Zhang Shou advocated the Southern Song court to actively defend and recover slowly.To this end,he put forward many defensive measures such as "restoring vassal towns","buying military food" and "tun four road",which were quite insightful.In terms of internal affairs,he also actively practiced,many times,do not forget the great cause,restored the Central Plains,welcomed the second saints,and recommended many talents for Gaozong.He stressed that the people,concerned about the livelihood of the public dying,many times for the people to reduce the burden,and prevent the killing of prisoners,reflected his department of the people,worried about the people’s great mind,its political paper has a strong practical significance.Zhang Shou’s political papers pay attention to the strict structure and careful reasoning,mostly according to the specific political situation and needs,consider the objective conditions,targeted,practical,and rarely the general scholar spirit talk.In the reasoning skills,Zhang Shouzheng’s paper is quite unique.In order to better elaborate his political views,he is good at making clear arguments.In some chapters,in order to highlight the problem consciousness and targeted countermeasures,he deliberately imitated the "asking" technique of "Spring and Autumn Gongram Biography" and "Spring and Autumn Valley Liang Biography",which showed strict structure and clear organization.His language is simple and sincere,but because of his good literary accomplishment,he often reveals his literary talent in his simplicity,and his parallel prose is natural and smooth.Zhang Shou’s political papers are also unique in the similar works in the Song Dynasty.His simple and sincere style of writing was completely different from the usual style used in the Northern Song Dynasty.Even compared with Sima Guang,who is the same "Confucian sect",literary concept and literary style,there are distinct differences.Zhang Shou is not Sima Guang,but more sincere and straight.The use of allusions is not like Sima Guang’s extensive references,but also in the contemporary "main war" political papers,Zhang Shou’s works are also distinctive.For example,compared with Li Gang,who is also the main war faction,Zhang Shou is less "angry and generous" side,paying attention to strict law and logic,showing his distinctive writing charm.
