Features: Yang Wanli (1127—1206), styled Tingshou, styled Chengzhai, was a native of Tantan Village, Jishui County, Jizhou Prefecture, Southern Song Dynasty (now Huangqiao Township, Jishui County, Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province). In the 20th year of Shaoxing (1150), he passed the local examination for the first time and passed the imperial examination in the 24th year. He held various official positions, including Censor of Ganzhou, Vice County Magistrate of Lingling, Magistrate of Fengxin County, Professor of Lin'an Prefecture (did not take office), Doctor of the Imperial Academy, Doctor of the Grand Court, Assistant Director of the Grand Court, Vice Director of Construction, Magistrate of Zhangzhou (did not take office), Magistrate of Changzhou, Director of Guangdong Changping Tea and Salt, Director of Guangdong Circuit, Vice Minister of Personnel, Minister of Personnel, Concurrent Tutor of the Crown Prince, Right Vice Director, Left Vice Director, Vice Director of the Secretariat, Magistrate of Junzhou, Director of the Secretariat, Vice Transport Commissioner of Jiangdong. He resigned from office and was specially appointed as Tongyi Dafu, Baowen Ge Dazhi Retired. He was appointed as Zhibao Mo Ge Scholar and enfeoffed as the Duke of Luling. He was posthumously honored as Wenjie. Yang Wanli was first a poet, known as one of the "Four Great Poets of the Southern Song Dynasty" alongside Lu You, Fan Chengda, and You Mao. It is said that he wrote over 20,000 poems in his lifetime, with more than 4,200 surviving today. Moreover, his poetic reputation was even higher than Lu You's at the time. Jiang Teli's poem "Thanking Yang Chengzhai for the Long Verse" says: "Who is the master of the poetic world today? Chengzhai's poetic rules are being implemented." Xiang Anshi's poem "Replying in Rhyme to Pan and Yang in Two Poems" says: "Chengzhai alone dominates poetry in the four seas." Lu You himself said: "Literature has its own value, and opinions have their own fairness. I am inferior to Chengzhai, and this evaluation is shared by all." ("Thanking Wang Zilin for the Poetic Collection") His poetry is unique and is known as the "Chengzhai Style." Yang Wanli was not only famous for his poetry but was also a loyal and upright minister who loved his country and cared about the people, described as "having a strong will" and "lifelong adherence to integrity" (Lu Daojing, "Helin Yulu," Volume 5 of Jia Bian). At the same time, his studies in Confucian classics, his political essays, his fu poetry, and his prose were all highly accomplished. However, for many years, even a comprehensive and systematic study of Yang Wanli has been lacking. Regarding his life, apart from a few early, brief chronologies that were vague, a more detailed "Chronology of Yang Wanli" has long been delayed. This is undoubtedly a great regret for the in-depth study of Yang Wanli. Yang Wanli (Chengzhai) was one of the "Four Great Poets of the Southern Song Dynasty," with a poetic style of his own known as the "Chengzhai Style," occupying an important place in the history of poetry. The publication of this chronology is of great significance for advancing the study of Yang Wanli. The chronology is organized with current events first, followed by the chronology text and annotations. Any references, explanations, supplements, or corrections made by the compiler are detailed in notes, reflecting a scholarly style of erudition and careful thought. The entire book is nearly 600,000 words and took over twenty years to complete, facing many setbacks before publication. This book is the most detailed chronology of Yang Wanli.
