Anecdotal allusions
During the Jiayou period in Song Renzong (1056- 1063), Fu Bi was prime minister, Ouyang Xiu was an academician, Bao Zheng was an imperial envoy, and Hu Yuan was a lecturer in imperial academy, ranking first in the world. At that time, the scholar-bureaucrat said, "The rich man is really the prime minister, Ouyang Yongshu is really a bachelor of Hanlin, and Bao Laozheng is really clean, Mr. Hu." There are four truths in the name.
Commemoration of future generations
Ouyang Xiu was demoted to Chuzhou after the failure of the "Qingli New Deal", during which he wrote his masterpiece Zuiweng Pavilion, which became the essence of Langya Mountain's cultural heritage. In order to commemorate Ouyang Xiu, the Chuzhou Municipal Government of Anhui Province collected Mr. Guo Moruo's autograph from the beginning of the preparation of the memorial hall in the 1960s. In the newly completed memorial hall, the reconstructed statue of Ouyang Xiu and 30 paintings by Ou Gong are displayed.
