Title: The Hanlin Intellectuals in Taizu(太祖) Period in Song Dynasty
Abstract: Taizu period in Song Dynasty appointed 8 Hanlin intellectuals and 1 acting intellectual.Most of them were the imperial secretary of the former dynasty.Except Ouyang Jiong(欧阳迥) of HouShu(后蜀),all the others came into Song Dynasty from the Central Plains of HouZhou(后周).Most of them were already in their middle age and old age,and it was difficult for them to maintain enough enthusiasm and vitality for politics and literature,and they also lacked in awareness and independent character of the imperial secretary.Taizu's attitude towards the Hanlin intellectuals reflected his valuing of the virtue of Confucianism and his belittling of literature.
