李纲宣和水灾奏议的历史书写

宣和元年（1119）五月,洪水危及开封城的安全。李纲指出此为灾异,劝谏宋徽宗要罪己求言以及改变作为,却被贬外。之后李纲反思北宋灭亡时,将宣和大水视为亡国的征兆。李纲去世后,其宣和水灾奏议逐渐被书写为靖康之变的预言。蒙古崛起威胁南宋生存之时,有识之士不断借用李纲水灾之论劝谏当权者加强国防,防止历史重演。

The Historical Writing of Li Gang s Discussion on Floods in 1119 A. D.

The flood endangered the safety of Kaifeng City in May 1119. Li Gang pointed out that it was“Zai Yi” (灾异) , and asked Song Huizong to make a apology to the Heaven and change bad behaviors. As a result, his rank was reduced. When he reflected the fall of Northern Song Dynasty, Li Gang viewed the flood as a prophesy of its destruction. His discussion about floods in 1119 was written as prediction of“Jingkangzhibian” (靖康之变) after his death. When the rising of Mongolians began to threaten the safety of Southern Song Dynasty, Li Gang?s discussion was employed by those senior intellectuals to propose rulers to strengthen nation?s defense.
