Author's introduction:

Sima Guang (November 17, 119-186), whose name was Junshi and whose name was Youcuo, was born in Xushui Village, Xiaxian County, Shaanxi Province, and was clearly recorded in The History of Song Dynasty and Cihai. Born in Guangshan County, Xinyang City, Henan Province. Historians and writers of the Northern Song Dynasty.

During the four dynasties of Renzong, Yingzong, Shenzong and Zhezong, he gave a gift to Taishi, Wen Guogong and Wen Zheng, and presided over the compilation of Zi Zhi Tong Jian, the first annalistic general history in China history. He was gentle, humble and upright, and his personality was a model under Confucianism, which has always been admired by people.

There are many works in his life, including historical masterpieces Zi Zhi Tong Jian, Wen Guo Wen Zheng Sima's Official Documents Collection, Ji Gu Lu, Su Shui Ji Wen, Qian Xu and so on.

The author's main achievements:

Empress Xuanren was the backstage supporter of the opposition to political reform in the former court. After taking power, she cited Sima Guang, Wen Yanbo and other conservatives to the government, and all kinds of anti-political reform forces gathered together. Sima Guang opposed the new law under the banner of "changing children from mothers".

He blamed Wang Anshi for the political reform, attacking that "Wang Anshi failed to reach the political system, used private opinions, messed up the old chapter, and mistakenly appointed the first emperor as an envoy"; Then the new law was completely denied, and it was slandered that the new law "gives up right and wrong, promotes harm and eliminates benefit" and "it is called loving the people, but it is actually sick, and it is called benefiting the country, but it actually hurts the country". Most of the new laws were abolished, and many old laws were restored one by one.

If the law of officers is adopted, it will be fully restored within five days, which will do more harm to society than before Xining. The money accumulated through the reform was also "irrationally dissipated" during the years when the anti-reform faction was in power.

At the same time, we spared no effort to crack down on the reformists. Zhang Dun once refuted Sima Guang's idea of restoring the law of officers one by one, and the anti-reform faction mobilized all the remonstrance forces, and repeatedly attacked Zhang Dun until he was forced to be idle. All the officials who were listed as pro-Party reformists such as Wang Anshi were demoted. Among them, Cai Que wrote Che Gaiting Poetry, thinking that all of them were involved in ridicule and died in NSW.

Everyone in the reformers is in a state of fear and anxiety. Lv Huiqing is afraid to drink cold water in exile, for fear of getting sick and being caught by the opposition. For Xixia, it inherited Xining's previous compromise policy and ceded the recovered four villages of Anjiang, Jinglu, Futu and Mizhi to Xixia to steal peace for a while. These perverse practices have aroused widespread dissatisfaction in society.

People with clearer minds once advised Sima Guang to put himself in the young Song Zhezong's shoes. If someone taught him "father-son righteousness" in the future, it would be disastrous to instigate Zhezong to oppose today's "changing children from mothers". Sima Guang said: "If it were a religious society, there would be no such thing!" Sima Guang and his successors ignored the little emperor, thus arousing the dissatisfaction of Zhezong.

Zhezong said after attending politics that he "only saw his hips and backs" while listening to politics, and rebuked the opposition for not understanding the meaning of monarch and minister. After the death of Empress Xuanren, the anti-reformists who restored the old system collapsed and suffered a heavy blow.
