The first answer can get 2 points, and if the answer is accepted, you can get bonus points and an extra 20 points. Xishu in Song Dynasty was one of the most developed areas in China. There, literary creation is prosperous, academics (the Book of Changes, especially history) are prosperous, and everyone and famous artists come forth in large numbers; The literati in West Shu are mostly in the triangle of Chengdu, Meizhou (now Meishan, Sichuan) and Longzhou (once mixed with Zhou and Jing Xian, now Renshou, Sichuan and Meishan). In this cultural triangle, the highlight is not Chengdu, but Meishan, which is 0/00 km away from Chengdu/KLOC. It is the hometown of Su Shi, a literary master and leader of Shu Studies, the birthplace of Li Tao, a great historian, and one of the three major book engraving centers in China.

The first is literature. Besides Su Shi, his father Xun and his brothers and philosophers, there were many important writers in Meizhou in the Song Dynasty. At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, Weng learned about Meizhou and built the "Zaiying Hall" to praise the sages of Meizhou. "Six out of 20 people recorded the history of the country and went down to Tiangong (Tin)." [1]. The scope of his commendation is "preserving righteousness", "establishing a career", "learning" and "writing", with emphasis on grand culture. However, most of the four types of writers listed can be regarded as writers, except Zhu Taifu, Shi, and other "three Su" are temporary literary ebbs. There are far more literary celebrities in Meizhou than Wei's Tudan, and the collected works are still handed down from generation to generation, including Tang Geng (Collected Works of Mr. Tang), Su Shizi (Xiechuan Collection), Su (Shuangxi Collection) and Cheng Gai (Sun of Su Shi's Cousin Cheng, Xiechuan Collection), and even some long-lost poems. According to statistics, there are almost no fewer than 50 recorded poems [2].

Second, history. In the Song Dynasty, especially in the Southern Song Dynasty, the history of Meizhou was particularly developed, with such masterpieces as Forest. For example, Peng Baichuan, a native of Shanling, Meizhou, wrote 40 volumes of "Taiping Governance", which recorded the history of the Northern Song Dynasty. This is 30 volumes; He also wrote thirty-five volumes of Tong Lei, a confidant of Zhongxing, which recorded the history of the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty. This edition is also thirty volumes. Wang said that Jiping, a native of Meizhou, knew little about his family background and devoted himself to studying history. Author of "A Brief Introduction to the East Capital" has 130 volumes, and "Summary of Siku" says that "the private history of the Song Dynasty is outstanding and can be handed down from generation to generation, but (Wang) said it was with Li Xinchuan (according to Li Xinchuan, he kept the classics and wrote the famous book" Annals of Yan Jiannian "). Li Dao is an outstanding representative of Shu historians. Dao (1115-1184) Peng Baichuan. His historical works include 50 volumes of Historical Manuscripts of the Four Dynasties, and the most important one is 520 volumes of A Mirror for Continuing Capital Management, which is similar to Sima Guang's A Mirror for Capital Management. Historians are also writers. For example, Li Tao's collected works have 120 volumes, and his son Li Bi's Wild Goose Lake Collection has 100 volumes. Ye Shi even thought that the literary achievements of his father and son could be imitated by Su San [3].

Third, the book industry. Meishan's book printing industry was as famous as Hangzhou and Jianzhou in the Song Dynasty, with all kinds of classics, history, books and collections, such as Seven History in big characters and many other books and collections in the Tang and Song Dynasties, which are still circulating today and have great value. Uncle? At that time, there was a poem saying that Meishan people "all servants and vendors are poetry books (detailed later)". In the mid-Southern Song Dynasty, Cai Zhou once played, saying that "there are several roads in Shu, and documents are accumulated in the mountains" [4]; The source of this "mountain-like" literature collection is mainly Meizhou, which has delivered a lot of spiritual food for Bashu and even the whole country.

There are so many influential writers and scholars from generation to generation, and there is such a developed publishing industry, which is almost unique in the Song Dynasty. Su Shi, in particular, has far more influence than Bayishu and spans time and space. Song people often called Su Shi "Su Meishan" or "Meishan". He is an excellent "image representative" of Meishan, or "Meishan" has become a cultural symbol that is inseparable from Su Shi and has rich connotations. If Meizhou is the highlight of Xishu culture, then Su Shi is the most gorgeous halo among the highlights.

Meizhou in Song Dynasty has become the cultural center of Bashu. This is very strange. Chengdu has been the capital of southwest China since Qin and Han Dynasties, and also the political and economic center of Bashu, so it is reasonable to take the lead in culture. However, Meizhou has neither the historical accumulation nor the location advantage of Chengdu. Before the Song Dynasty, it was almost unknown and unremarkable, but in the Song Dynasty, it gradually became the source of strength to promote the development of western Shu culture, and even Chengdu fell behind, which is worth studying. If Meizhou was particularly developed in the Song Dynasty, especially the phenomenon that literature and history were in a leading position in the country for a long time, it is probably not an exaggeration.
