Liu Dingzhi was born in a family of scholar.He has been an official for more than 30 years.He has outstanding achievements and academic excellence.He has made outstanding achievements in history and Yi Xue.His main historical works include "Song Lun" and "No Thai Record",and there are poems handed down among them."Song Lun" was one of the important historical works in the early and mid-Ming Dynasty.The entire book is about 22,000 words,divided into 3 volumes and 18 articles,and has a "preface" by Wu Chen and a "postscript" by Liu Yinzhi.Each article does not use the title of Emperor.From Song Taizu,Song Taizong to Song Duzong,Emperor Xiangxing all commented on the incident.There were as many as three and at least one.The historical materials used are not limited to the "History of Song",but also a large number of historical classics such as "Long Compilation of Zizhi Zhijian" and "Edition of the Northern Alliance of the Three Dynasties".Its content is focused on politics,economics,diplomacy,military,ideology and culture,involving Chen Qiao mutiny,the succession of the throne in the early Northern Song Dynasty,Taizong Xiong,the theory of "solitary note",Kou Zhun was dismissed,Ding Wei was dismissed,Song Historical matters such as Xia Diplomacy,Nong Zhigao's Rebellion,Yiyi,Xining Reform,Yuanyou Party Struggle,Chongdao,Kaifeng City,Shaoxing Heyi,Gaozong Zen,Lianmeng Meng Jin,Zhu Xi's "State of the Mountain",etc.Regarding the rise and fall of chaos,there are comments on those who are able to learn from it.The commentary section is refined and remarkably frequent.It not only deeply reflects the history and lessons of the Song Dynasty,but also reflects the characteristics of the times of the author.Liu Dingzhi's "Song Lun" is fair and derogatory.Although it cannot escape the inertia of judging historical merit based on the orthodox historical view of Confucianism,when it comes to specific issues,it can often objectively evaluate the ethnic groups in the pluralistic integration of the Chinese nation.The interrelationship between them did not use the history of Song to preach the idea of respecting XiaYiyi,which is different from Wang Han's view of the Han nationality as emphasized in Song Lun.It is this precious concept of seeking truth from facts that promoted the progress of the study of Song history in the Ming Dynasty and set an example for the study of Song history in later generations.
