So what was his position in the Tang Dynasty and which department did he belong to? The secretary supervisor in Tang Dynasty was the chief executive of the secretary province, mainly engaged in book collection and book compilation. Its function and social status have also experienced some ups and downs, and the fate of the secretary province has also developed from stability to decline, and then from trough to peak. What exactly happened? Today, we will talk about the functions and experiences of the secretary province and the secretary supervisor in the Tang Dynasty.
First, the division of labor, responsibilities and functions of the secretary province in the Tang Dynasty
1. What is this organization and what does it do?
The secretary supervisor was originally a royal institution, not an official position. In the second year of Yan Xi in the Eastern Han Dynasty (AD 159), a secretary supervisor was set up to manage and proofread ancient books. However, the secretary supervisor at this time belongs to Taichang Temple and is not an independent institution. It was upgraded to a secretarial province in the Southern and Northern Dynasties and abolished in the 13th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (AD 1380), which lasted 6540 years.
Secretary province is one of the important institutions of the national library of Tang dynasty, which is called? Bookstore? . Literally, it seems to be related to the secretary. In fact, this ancient government agency has nothing to do with modern secretaries. Let's first look at the people in the secretary's province.
The personnel of the Secretariat Province have a specific division of labor and perform their duties. According to the Six Classics of the Tang Dynasty for ten years: Secretary province, one supervisor, from Sanpin; Less supervision of two people, from four products; Cheng one person, from five products. The post of secretary in charge is responsible for the country's classics. There are two bureaus: one is Zhongshu, and the other is Taishi. Both bureaus are subordinate to themselves and perform their respective duties. Less supervision is two different things. It's easy to accept the verdict. Four divisions, from six products; There are eight school booksellers. In the ninth grade; One person is responsible, from doing; There are four ministers, nine ministers, eight canon writers, eighty regular script writers, six pavilion directors, eight calligraphers, ten paper makers, ten decorators and six pen makers. Silang holds four books, which are stored in the library. He uses A, B, C and D books as famous books, corrects the classics by orthography, and publishes orthography, all of which distinguish their mistakes, and takes the history of the four libraries as an example. ?
What is said here is that the function of the Secretary Province is mainly to take charge of national books, as well as the responsibilities of historians, astronomers, almanacs and timekeepers, such as participating in the revision of history books, recording the daily life of the emperor and observing astronomical phenomena. However, the functions and responsibilities of the secretary province and the secretary supervisor were weakened after the middle and late Tang Dynasty, but the responsibility of taking charge of the national books has been as steady as Mount Tai.
Since the Tang dynasty, the internal staffing of the secretary province has been very complete, and the number of people needed has also been clearly defined, from secretary supervision to paper making, decoration and pen making. Who has served as a secretary supervisor as the leader of the secretary province? There are Linghu Defen, Yu Shinan, Yan Shigu, Wang, Wang Shaozong, Zhou Simao, Ma Huai Su, Xu Jian, He, Chen Xilie, Yan Zhenqing, Yan, Li Yi, Liu Taizhen, Li Sui and Liu Zhongying.
It can be seen that the secretary province in the Tang Dynasty was led by the secretary supervisor, and all the functional personnel worked together to ensure the collection, arrangement, development and even utilization of the books of the Tang government, which provided a reference template for the later book management, especially the national book management.
2. The secretary changed her name several times, and her function gradually weakened.
In the Tang dynasty, the secretary province was renamed? Lantai? Or? Lin Tai? . In the second year of high school, I changed my secretary to Mrs. Lan's teacher, Shao Jian's secretary to Mrs. Lan Taizhu, Cheng's secretary to Dr. Lan Taifu, and Lang's secretary to Mr. Lan Taro. In the first year of Wuhou's hanging arch, the secretary saved Lin Tai, the secretary supervised Lin Tai, the secretary supervised Lin Taishao, and the secretary Lang was Lin Tailang. In the first year of Taiji, it was changed back to the secretary province.
The collection of books in the early Tang Dynasty mainly inherited some books from the Sui Dynasty. In November (6 17), Tang Jun conquered Chang 'an. Life master Fu Langsong Gongbi collects pictures? In addition to the archives of the Sui government, it also includes 80,000 copies of Jiazetang. With these books, the secretary province was established in the Tang dynasty, which was the supervisor and the secretary.
The secretary provinces in the Tang Dynasty followed the Sui system, and both of them had secretary provinces in the Tang Dynasty. The former secretary province of the Sui Dynasty is located in Chang 'an, Xijing, the imperial city. In the second year of Emperor Gaozong's reign (657), Luoyang was re-established as the eastern capital, and after the reign of Emperor Qianlong, the secretariat province of the eastern capital was established.
Before the middle of the Tang Dynasty, the secretariat province was also affiliated to two bureaus, namely, the Works Bureau and the Taishi Bureau. At this time, the Secretariat Province was not only an institution to collect and sort out books, but also an institution to repair national history, astronomy, almanac and timing, and it was a very important departmental institution. Because of the importance attached to the revision of history in ancient times, historical revision institutions like the Works Bureau were also highly valued and favored by the emperor. However, in the third year of Zhenguan, the responsibility of the Works Bureau to revise history was stopped, leaving only? Write an epitaph, bless, pay tribute? As an office. The Taishi Bureau, which is in charge of astronomy, almanac and timekeeping, was renamed Taishi Supervisor in October (742) of the first year of Tianbao, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, and became independent from the secretariat province. In this way, the work of the secretary province leaves a very simple responsibility of taking charge of the national books, turning it into a clear water yamen and a secretary supervisor. Pure? Academic officials.
