Eleanor of Aquitaine: A Brief Introduction to the Life of Yao Silian, a Historian of Early Tang Dynasty in Yao Silian

Yao Silian, Wu Xingren, historian of early Tang Dynasty. Born in late Liang and early Chen, 80 years old. He lives in Xing Wu. After Chen's death, he followed his father Yao Cha as an official in the Sui Dynasty, and then moved to the north. Therefore, the biography of Yao Silian in the Tang Dynasty called him Jingzhao Wannian.

Grandfather Yao Shengyuan is "not very good at literature and history" and "superb in medical skills and forced by the times". He cured many intractable diseases of emperors and nobles and won many awards. The reputation is getting bigger and bigger, and both the frontier and outland come to seek treatment. Monk Yuan "gave everything back to Brother Cha". With this rich income, Yao and his brothers traveled around and studied, and the scope of buying books and reading became wider and wider. Yao showed his talent at the age of thirteen. "It is difficult for Xuanyitang to attend classes, which is what Confucian scholars said." Yao Chacha's diligent and studious spirit will last forever. Even after he became an official of the Chen dynasty, he actively collected books from all over the country and immediately copied books he had never seen before. He collected more than 10000 books and read them all. He was a famous scholar in Liang, Chen and Sui Dynasties. After that, Wendi was also very happy to get Yao tea. He said to his deputies, "I heard that Yao Cha's knowledge is unparalleled today, so I got this man." Yao Cha's works are very rich, including Collected Works of Han Shuxun Volume 30, Shuolin Volume 10, Xi Pin Volume 1, Yu Volume 1, Jiankang No.3 Middle School Volume 1 and Selected Works Volume 20. In addition, there are two unwritten histories, Liang and Chen.

This family tradition has a good influence on Yao Silian. When he was a teenager, he liked history. He is not only clever, but also studies hard. He has no other hobbies except reading, and he has never even asked about his family life.
