Wang Anshi's Historical Background
Wang Anshi was born in the family of a local official. He was clever since he was a child and never forgot to read. I traveled north and south with my father and officials since I was a child, which increased my social experience, broadened my horizons, witnessed the hardships of the people's lives, and had a certain perceptual understanding of the situation of "accumulating poverty and accumulating weakness" in the Song Dynasty. When I was young, I set the ambition of "rectifying the world and changing customs". In March of the second year of Li Qing (1042), he was admitted to the Jinshi examination and was awarded the judge of Huainan Festival. /kloc-in the winter of 0/058 (the third year of Jiayou), Wang Anshi was appointed as the judge of the third division. The following spring, he went to Kaifeng, the capital, and wrote thousands of books. He pointed out that laws and regulations must be reformed so that they can "adapt to the changes of the times". He believed that the premise of reform was to train talents, so he advocated abolishing the imperial examination system and selecting officials from the grassroots ("township party"). In 2000, he was transferred to Yinxian (now Ningbo, Zhejiang). He is honest and strict in law enforcement. He organized migrant workers to repair dams, dig ponds, improve farmland irrigation and facilitate transportation, and did many beneficial things for the people. When the young crops don't arrive, they lend the grain stored in the official treasury to farmers at low interest to solve the difficulties of the people.

Commitment to enter North Korea

I have traveled for three years (105 1) and have made great achievements as a judge. Wen Yanbo, the prime minister, recommended him as a judge of animal husbandry, and served as a judge of Changzhou Known and Jiangdong Prison. In the third year of Jiayou (1058), when he was a judge, he wrote tens of thousands of books to Song Renzong, which profoundly exposed the decadent atmosphere of bureaucracy, imperial examination and extravagance, demanded political reform and strengthened border defense, and put forward the financial management principle of "collecting the wealth of the world for the expenses of the world", but it did not attract the attention of the court. Soon after, the court appointed him as Yuan Xian, and his colleagues began to take notes. He didn't want to take this idle post, but he wouldn't give up his words. So he changed the position of the imperial edict, drafted an imperial edict for the emperor, and picketed the prison in Beijing. Because of his words, it is difficult to be an official in North Korea. In August of eight years (1063), he resigned and went back to Jiangning to attend the funeral on the grounds that his mother was ill. After Emperor Yingzong acceded to the throne (1063-1066), Wang Anshi was called to Beijing many times, and all resigned from his post and went to the DPRK on the grounds of losing his mother and illness.

Reform movement

1067, Zongshen succeeded to the throne, and Wang Anshi was appointed as the magistrate of Jiangning, and was immediately appointed as a bachelor and lecturer of Hanlin. In order to get rid of the political and economic crisis faced by the Song Dynasty and the constant intrusion of Liao and Xixia, 1068, Zongshen summoned Wang Anshi to "turn to the right repeatedly", that is, he wrote a letter advocating political reform. The following year, he devoted himself to politics and presided over the political reform. In order to guide the implementation of the reform, a three-part department of laws and regulations was established, and a group of officials who supported the reform were found to participate in the formulation of the new law.
