Wang Song, formerly known as Fan, was born in Langqiong, Yunnan (now Eryuan County, Dali Bai Autonomous Prefecture), a Bai nationality. Born in the 17th year of Qing Qianlong (1752). His ancestors were local officials of Langqiong in Yuan Dynasty, and the history of attacking Langqiong in Hongwu period of Ming Dynasty. His father, Mei Cun, is a famous local scholar with a rich collection of books at home. Wang Hao is a young man, pragmatic and studious. After learning from the famous scholar Tan Cui, my knowledge has increased. In the fourth year of Jiaqing (1799), he was a scholar and awarded the order of Wuxiang County, Shanxi Province. He worked for 9 years, promoting the advantages and eliminating the disadvantages, and advocated repairing the Zhanghe River, exempting donations, donating money to run schools and repairing academies, which was quite political. In the 21st year of Jiaqing (18 16), he gave lectures at Jinyang Academy in Shanxi. "People from nine hospitals and ten states, who listen to the ancient times, are called disciples and gather under the high ratio", which has trained many talents for Shaanxi. Four years later, he returned to Yunnan after his illness.

Qin Wang's return to Yunnan coincided with the intention of Ruan Yuan, governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, to compile Yunnan annals. But he couldn't do it because he couldn't find someone with strong academic ability to preside over it. Ruan Yuan was overjoyed when Wang Song arrived. In the sixth year of Daoguang (1826), he opened a local chronicles museum to compile Yunnan local chronicles, and hired Wang Song as the editor-in-chief and the prime minister to compile local chronicles. At this time, Wang Hao is over the age of 70, but the chronicle is related to mulberry public welfare, so regardless of the age, * * * took the initiative to chronicle. Later, Ruan Yuan went to Beijing to report on his work, and Yunnan Governor Ilib was in charge. Wang Song, Huang Yan and Li Cheng disagreed, so they went back to their hometown Eryuan under the pretext. He died in the seventeenth year of Daoguang (1837) at the age of 85.

Wang Kun's life is full of scholarship, involving Confucian classics, history, local chronicles, poetry and many other aspects, and his writings are quite abundant. There are six volumes of Confucian classics, which "analyze similarities and differences between Confucianism to make up for its shortcomings, draw on history and obtain evidence to explain it" and "combine group records to make a family statement", and are included in Huang Qing Jing Jie. Wang Song's historical achievement is mainly the collation of Nanzhao unofficial history. Because there are many versions of Nanzhao unofficial history with different contents, there are many forgeries and falsifications everywhere. Wang Song is "taking several copies to proofread each other" and "participating in cross-examination and revision, compiling one book, so that those who read this book later will avoid the regret of sweeping away the fallen leaves". Unofficial history in Nanzhao, edited by Wang Song, was published in Northern Annals of Yunnan, which became one of the two most widely circulated editions. Yuan Jiagu commented that "Nanzhao unofficial history" was only circulated by Hu (Wei) and Wang (Song), and Wang's version was the most informative. Geleshan is a generalist, but it is also second to none. Simple mistakes are correct, and incorrect ones are correct. " Wang Hao is also the author of metrical poems and two volumes of Poems of Leshan, which are published in Yunnan series. Wang Song has made outstanding achievements in local chronicles, compiling the Annals of Northern Yunnan and Daoguang Annals of Yunnan.

A Record of Yunnan Beizheng, Volume 21. This book was compiled by Premier Wang Song when he was in Yunnan Tongzhi Museum according to previous books on Yunnan history. This book was compiled in the eighth and ninth year of Daoguang (1728∽ 1729), and was first engraved in the eleventh year of Daoguang (183 1), with the first edition of 16. Xuantongyuannian (1909) typesetting reprint; When Yunnan Library 19 14 reprinted this book, it was included in the first edition of Yunnan series. The Annals of Northern Yunnan is a similar series, the main purpose of which is to provide basic information of Yunnan history for reference. There is a general preface at the beginning of the annals of northern Yunnan, which briefly describes the deeds about Yunnan before the Han Dynasty. Later, from Historical Records to the early Qing Dynasty, there were 62 kinds of books about Yunnan historical materials. There are four ways to compile these 62 books: one is to collect the whole book, and select the rare books devoted to Yunnan history in previous dynasties to be included in the whole book. Such as Fan Chuo's Records of Yunnan, Zhang Daozong's Notes on Ancient Yunnan, Yang Shen's Notes on Yunnan, Ruan's unofficial history in Nanzhao, Zhuge's History of Yunnan, Yunnan's Notes, Wang's Notes on Yunlong, etc. The second is to collect special volumes, and select special volumes about Yunnan from important ancient books, such as Huayang Guozhi Nanzhong Annals, New Tang Book Nanman Biography, Taiping Yuhuan Ji Jian Nan Xi Dao, Ming History Geography, etc. The third is to collect special articles, including those about Yunnan in various official geographies and other geography books, such as Hanshu, County Annals, and Ming History Geography. The fourth is to organize the information about Yunnan scattered in a book into articles, such as Zi Tong Zhi Jian, Yuan Shi Ben Ji, Shi Ming Ben Ji and so on. The historical materials compiled by Yunnan Beizheng Record are mostly based on events, and the original versions are mostly rare (for example, Fan Chuo's Yunnan Record is the original version of Wuying Temple Juzhen Edition, and Zhu is taken from Dai Zhen School). Therefore, the Northern Annals of Yunnan provides basic data for the later compilation of the Annals of Yunnan, which is convenient for later research. As soon as the book came out, it received people's attention and praise, and it was called "Southern Yunnan Grand Ceremony". "If you get this compilation, you should learn from it and study the history of Yunnan."

Daoguang's Eight Volumes of Yunnan Chronicle was also compiled by Premier Wang Song in Yunnan Chronicle Museum. Wang Song has been compiling Yunnan local chronicles for several years, analyzing and innovating local chronicles of various provinces, referring to historical biographies as circumstantial evidence, taking cases widely and considering gains and losses, has become more than half of local chronicles. After Wang Song resigned from his post, he became a manuscript, which was selected and annotated by his student Du Yunzhong, then published and engraved, and was included in the series of Leshan Collection. The cover of Notes on Yunnan collected in Leshan is engraved with the words "Notes on Yunnan in Daoguang" and "Tibetan Edition of Friends Hall in Daoguang Nine Years". There are eight volumes in the foreword: Volume I Geography, Volume II Organization, Salt Law, Mineral Resources, Volume III and IV Feudalism, Volume V and Hexagonal Geography, Volume VII and VIII Tusi Geography. "Yunnan Zhichao" was published, but it was not passed, so it was rarely circulated and the world didn't know much about it. It was not until the early years of the Republic of China that Qin Guangyu included it in the compilation of Yunnan Xuzhi that it was circulated. Sun Dianqi's Catalogue of Series and Fang Guoyu's Catalogue of Yunnan Historical Materials are recorded. Xu Wende's punctuation marks are included in the Yunnan Historical Materials Series of Yunnan University. 1995 Yunnan academy of social sciences published Liu headquarter.

Why does the title of Yunnan Zhichao say "money"? Wang Hao did not explain. According to Sun's Poem Shi Chao, "Anyone who talks about money, adopting its English and hunting its wonders, can be the way to study." The summaries of Si, Shi Bu and Shi Chao Class also say that "if it is full of brilliance, it is necessary to delete redundancy" and "if it is used, it can also be read". The Annotation of Yunnan Annals in Song Dynasty is a private engraving book, and its economic ability is limited, so it is impossible to publish all the completed annals. Therefore, it is a brief history of Yunnan, including Drunken Huaying, which is reduced to eight volumes and seven records of 300 thousand words. Yunnan Notes has the following characteristics: First, its style is rigorous, which not only follows the style of local chronicles, but also makes innovations. Quan Zhi is divided into seven chronicles: geography, architecture, salt law, minerals, feudalism, frontier fortress origin and Tusi, all of which have "preface". Summarize the contents of this chronicle. There are several categories or items after the preface. There is no need to unify the settings of categories and projects. Geographical records and chieftain records are described by official, state and post, while feudal records and frontier records are chronicled. Due to the reasonable setting and proper genre application, the whole local chronicles appear to be well-organized and well-structured. Second, the content is detailed, and many precious original historical materials with Yunnan local characteristics have been preserved. For example, the records of Tusi in Volume VII and Volume VIII can be divided into two categories: "officials who inherited Tusi" and "officials who abolished them". The latter records "those who existed in ancient times but are not present today", which records in detail the inheritance and abolition of Tusi in Yunnan from Yuan, Ming to the middle of Qing Dynasty, and many of the materials were not recorded in Yunnan local chronicles. By the time of the Republic of China, most of the newly compiled Tusi examinations in Yunnan Tongzhi were copied from Yunnan Zhichao without examination. In addition, the fifth and sixth volumes of Border Ethnography list five categories: Myanmar, Siam, Nanzhang, Vietnam and Tibet, and systematically record the historical geography of these countries and regions. The information about Yunnan's salt laws and regulations and well furnaces in the Records of Salt Law, and the information about mining and refining technology in the Records of Mineral Resources are also very precious. Third, the text is refined. "Yunnan Zhichao" was abridged from general annals, and because Wang was a "famous literary figure among Yunnan local officials" at that time, the whole annals were concise and did not miss anything important, which was quite similar to Kang Hai's "Wugong County Annals". Ruan Yuan commented: "Wang Hao's Geography, Feudalism, and Frontier Fortress can win the legacy of Wei Shou and Du You, and they are famous pens." This statement is not a compliment.

Of course, it should be pointed out that the length of Yunnan Zhichao is short, and most of the cited materials are not noted, which is not convenient for investigation and recording; This book has some shortcomings, such as concise words and sometimes vague words. Later, Du Yunzhong, a student of Wang Song, made notes for it, verified the source of the materials, made clear the lack of content, and greatly enhanced the value of the book.
