origin

In the Tang Dynasty, there was a small building named Lingyan Pavilion beside Sanqing hall in the palace of Chang'an city. In the 17th year of Zhenguan (643), Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, built Lingyan Pavilion to display the portraits of 24 meritorious officials drawn by Yan Liben, which are life size and face north to show his respect for the emperor. He often went to reminiscence.

Li Shimin was an outstanding emperor. He was very good at dealing with the relationship between the monarch and his officials. He was good at giving both grace and power. He managed all the capable people well, but most of them died well. The 24 statues of the Lingyan Pavilion are an example. At that time, Li Shimin was old and frail. He began to miss the past and recall the fighting years when the golden age and the iron horse ate up thousands of miles. The images of his old subordinates were painted into Lingyan Pavilion, which was regarded as the most glorious. Since then, the meritorious officials of Lingyan Pavilion became the symbol of the heroes of Tang Dynasty who joined the army and served the country. Li He's "Thirteen poems in the South Garden" says, "why don't a man take Wu Gou and collect 50 Guanshan prefectures. Please go to Lingyan Pavilion temporarily, if you are a scholar. “

As Tang Taizong said, "for more than ten years in this period, Si Gai was full of strategies, his followers exhausted their strength, and he was united in virtue.". In order to achieve this, Taizong's employment policy of "being the king, driving talents, and promoting the heart to treat scholars" is indispensable. In order to commend these meritorious officials, Taizong ordered Yan Liben to draw the painting of "twenty four meritorious officials" in Lingyan Pavilion.

It was not in the Tang Dynasty that Lingyan Pavilion became a hero of painting. There is a sentence in Yu Xin's tablet of Shendao stele of heganhong, the great general of Zhou Guozhu: "the emperor painted the pavilion of Lingyan, and read the words of Guichen". It can be seen that the Northern Zhou regime did the same thing. The spirit of respecting meritorious and capable officials has lasted for more than a century. Lingyan Pavilion of Tang Dynasty was built next to Sanqing hall in Chang'an City (Taiji Palace). The pavilion is divided into three levels: the interior level is painted by ministers who are highly accomplished; the middle level is painted by ministers who are highly accomplished princes; the exterior level is painted by other meritorious officials. The portraits of these twenty-four meritorious officials all face north to show the courtesy of the monarch and his officials.

In the 18th year of Zhenguan (644), Emperor Taizong pointed out the length of Minister Chen: "changsun Wuji is good at avoiding suspicion, should be sensitive to things, and make decisions. The ancients can't do it, but the general attack is not his strong point. Gao Shilian studied the past and the present, had a clear mind, and did not change his manners when he was in trouble. He had no friends when he was an official. Tang Jian's eloquence was quick, and he was good at reconciliation. After thirty years, I had no words to offer. Yang Shi's moral character is pure and peaceful, and he has no fault. However, he is cowardly, and Yuanji can't help her. The nature of Cen's text is honest and generous, and his articles are full of support. However, he should not be inferior to the material if he relies on his constant arguments. Liu was the most faithful and interested person in nature, but he was willing to be private to his friends. Ma Zhou is quick to see things and honest in nature. In terms of figures, I am more satisfied than any envoy. For example, birds depend on others and people feel sorry for themselves. " As for the generals, he said, "today only three famous generals are Li Shiji, Li daozong and Xue wanche. Shiji and daozong can't win or lose greatly. If Wan Che doesn't win greatly, he will lose greatly." This year, Li Jing was 74 years old. He was living at home, so he was not included in the evaluation.

These 24 meritorious officials are: situ, sun Wuji, Duke of Zhao, Sikong, governor of Liangzhou, Li Xiaogong, king of Hejian yuan, Sikong, Du Ruhui, Duke of Lai, Sikong, governor of Xiangzhou, Prince Taishi, Duke Wenzhen of Zheng, Wei Zheng, Sikong, Gong Fang Xuanling of Liang, three divisions of Kaifu Yitong, right pushe of Shangshu, Gao Shilian, Duke of Shen, three divisions of Kaifu Yitong, Duke weichi Jingde, tejin, Duke of Hubei Li Jing, the Duke of Wei, tejin, Xiao Xuan, the Duke of song, the grand general of Fuguo, the governor of Yangzhou, Duan Zhixuan, the Duke of Baozhong and zhuanggong, the grand general of Fuguo, Liu Hongji, the Duke of Kui, Zuo pushe, the Duke of Luozhou, Qu Toutong, the Duke of Shandong, Yin Kaishan, the Duke of Yunjie, Chaishao, the Duke of Qiaoxiang, sun Shunde, the Duke of Pixiang, Zhang Liang, the Duke of Yunguo, Guanglu Li Bu Shang Shu, Hou Junji, Duke of Lu, Zuo Xiaowei, Zhang Gongjin, Duke of Tan Xiang, Cheng Zhijie, Duke of Lu, Li Bu Shang Shu, Yu Shinan, Duke of Yongxing, Hu Bu Shang Shu, Liu Zhenghui, Duke of Yu Xiang, Guanglu doctor, Hu Bu Shang Shu, Tang Jian, Duke of Ju, Guanglu Dafu, Minister of war, Li Ji, Duke of England, and Qin Qiong, governor of Xuzhou and Duke of Hu.

The 24 meritorious officials of Lingyan Pavilion were not ranked according to their merits, but according to the highest official rank after Emperor Taizong selected 24 meritorious officials in the 17th year of Zhenguan. People who have died in Zhenguan 17 years ago have been granted official gifts (generally, the official gifts after death are much higher than the real positions before death), so they are in the front row. For example, in the 17th year of Zhenguan, Chang sun Wuji's highest nominal title was situ, and Fang Xuanling's was Sikong. Li Xiaogong, Du Ruhui and Wei Zheng had died at this time and were presented to Sikong. Because of the principle of "the dead is the greatest", the real Sikong Fang Xuanling is behind the three gifts to Sikong. Li Jing, who died only in the 23rd year of Zhenguan, also ranked eighth because he "died late and didn't get a post death official present at this time.".

Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and Li Jing are the three great meritorious officials of Tang Dynasty, and the five great meritorious officials of Xuanwumen are changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Yuchi Jingde and Hou Junji. At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Gaozong Li Zhifeng granted Duke duke'an, and Lingyan Pavilion finally awarded a meritorious official.

Main achievements

Cai Changlin, a researcher and painter of Shaanxi History Museum, re created the painting of Tang Lingyan Pavilion, which reproduces the cloister of Ziyun building in Furong garden of the Tang Dynasty. The author shows the great achievements of the Tang Dynasty and the magnificent demeanor of the Tang Dynasty. This is the most authoritative and only stone mural in China.

The restored picture of the twenty-four meritorious officials of the founding of the Tang Dynasty is carved with mirror granite and accompanied by biographies of people reviewed by experts. All the characters are in Chu suiliang style. Based on the mural materials of Tang Dynasty and traditional Chinese figure statues, the characters inherit the spirit of predecessors' similar works, and integrate the research results of Tang Dynasty mural characters, which provides vivid and accurate images and characters for people to understand the founding history of Tang Dynasty.

In the spring of 643 A.D., Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty Li Shimin personally praised the founding fathers such as sun Wuji, Wei Zheng and Yuchi Jingde, and ordered Chu suiliang to write the pavilion, which was completed by painter Yan Liben. Therefore, it has become a collection of literary talent, calligraphy and painting in the early Tang Dynasty. It is praised by historians of all ages. At the same time, this tradition of praising and honoring virtue has continued to this day. Because Lingyan Pavilion was destroyed by the war, the pictures of 24 meritorious officials can only be seen in the description of historians and poets, and there is no image to check. There are only four pieces of stone carved by you Shixiong of the Song Dynasty, which can not be identified. Although Liu Yuan of Suzhou re carved prints in the Qing Dynasty, they are far from the style of the Tang Dynasty.

Cai Changlin, who is good at the creation of cultural relic paintings, has made full use of the resource advantages of his museum scholars. In more than two years, he has consulted a large number of historical documents and cultural relic images, visited and investigated the historical relics related to them, and used the Internet to visit famous artists from all over the world, verify historical facts, rectify the origin, and create elaborately, making it a research center of Tang culture The important achievements of the research and new highlights of Xi'an tourism.
