Ouyang Xiu was born in Yinshi, June 21, the fourth year of Jingde in the Northern Song Dynasty (August 1, 1007). Mianzhou (today's Mianyang, Sichuan), when his father was serving as a military promotion officer in Mianzhou[5], he was already 56 years old. In the third year of Dazhong Xiangfu (1010), his father passed away.

Ouyang Xiu is the only son in the family, and he and his mother Zheng are dependent on each other. The orphaned and widowed mother had to go to Suizhou, Hubei to seek refuge with Ouyang Xiu's uncle. The uncle's family was not very wealthy, but fortunately his mother, Zheng, was an educated lady. She taught Ouyang Xiu how to read and write on the sand with straw. Ouyang Xiu's uncle also showed concern from time to time, and finally did not let Ouyang Xiu lose his basic education in his childhood.

Ouyang Xiu loved reading since he was a child. He often borrowed books from the Li family in the south of the city and copied them. He was talented and hard-working, and often the books could be recited before they were finished. Just like an adult, his uncle saw the hope of revitalizing the family and once said to Ouyang Xiu's mother: "Sister-in-law, don't worry about the poor family. Your child has a genius! Not only can he start a business and honor his ancestors, he will definitely be famous all over the world in the future."

When Ouyang Xiu was ten years old, he obtained six volumes of the Tang Dynasty's "Collected Works of Mr. Chang Li" from the Li family. He loved his articles so much that he would not let go of the volumes. This sowed the seeds for the later Northern Song poetry innovation movement.

I can’t go to the cloud. The kings of the world are as good as the virtuous ones! It was glorious at that time, but it would have been nothing if not! Confucius' commoners were passed down for more than ten generations, and scholars followed him. From the emperor to the princes, those who spoke of the "Six Arts" in Chinese were compromised by the Confucius, and they can be said to be the most holy! Translation: Tai Shigong said: "The Book of Songs" has: "High mountains (people) look up to, virtues (people) imitate." Although I can't reach the highest point, my heart (always) yearns for it. When I read Confucius's books, I feel I imagined what he was like. When I came to the state of Lu (the hometown of Confucius) and paid homage to Kong Zhongni (Confucius)'s temple, carriages, clothes, and sacrificial utensils, and all the students studying etiquette at his home on time, I lingered and couldn't bear to leave. Go to the kings of the world until there are many wise men! (Most of them were) glorious at the time, but it’s over when it’s over! Confucius is a member of the 100th generation, and has been passed down for more than ten generations. Scholars all regard him as their master. From the emperor to the princes, when it comes to the six arts in China, Confucius (his judgment) is the standard. (He) can be said to be the highest The sage! Feeling: Haha! Sima Qian turned out to be a star-chasing fan? Fortunately, he was chasing after Confucius, who had both political integrity and talent. Unlike today's children, who are chasing those so-called stars who have not even determined their own outlook on life and values. Therefore, Sima Qian was able to become a generation of historians and write "" "Historical Records"; but today's children are simply unable to get anything from their idols that truly sublimates their souls.

Not to be diverted by things ("Xunzi: Honor and Disgrace"), not to "look down upon the world" ("Xunzi: Honor and Disgrace") "History of the Song Dynasty: Biography of Mi Fu")". Don't worry about poverty or be obsessed with wealth (Tao Yuanming's "Biography of Mr. Wuliu"). It says that benevolent people do not be burdened by foreign objects. Objects do not only refer to physical objects. Utensils and natural objects, all wealth, power, reputation and status are all. Self, self, refers to self-pity and self-pity.
