生卒年考：
Yan Jidao, a celebrated poet and writer of the Song Dynasty, has been the subject of various studies and biographies. The information regarding his birth and death dates has been established based on related materials and sources from scholars and writers of the time.

One such biography, written by Xia Chengtao, titled "Chronicles of Tang-Song Era Poets: Yan Jidao Biography" suggests that Yan Jidao was born in the year 1030 and passed away in 1106. This biography has been widely followed by modern scholars and experts on Yan Jidao.

Yan Jidao's life was marked by his experience in various government roles, such as the post of an official in the military, followed by his later appointment as the magistrate of Qiongzhou, Chengdu and Kaifeng. Later in his life, he was appointed as a judge in Kaifeng, which was a step up in his government career.

Despite his success in government, Yan Jidao was known for his disinterest in conforming to societal norms and conventions. Fellow poet Huang Tingjian describes him as unorthodox and unconcerned with social conventions, saying that he gave more importance to unconventional ideas and his own principles instead.

Yan Jidao’s poetry and writing were distinctive in style, as well. His works were marked by erudition, profundity and a flair for unconventional expression, actively rejecting the conventions and style followed by most writers of his time. He was considered by many to be one of the most accomplished literary artists of his era.

While Yan Jidao’s political career was marked by challenges and hardships, he never lost his love for poetry and literature, making his contribution to the cultural milieu of his time invaluable. His legacy still lives on today and serves as an inspiration to many writers and poets around the world.文士所称道。叔原虽然在生活上过得拮据，但却始终保持着一颗乐观向上的心态，不断地追求自我提升和精神追求，这种精神令人敬佩。他所作的许多诗歌、散文以及书信，在当时的文学界影响深远，被誉为“庶民文学的一个奇迹”。他的作品与生活态度给后人启示，体现了一个传统文化的精神内涵：勤俭持家、心系天下、诚信为本。叔文，生于元丰三年(1070)，卒于嘉祐二年(1057)"。涂木水认为，这个日期应该是错写了，应为"嘉祐二年(1055)"。这样一来，王灼就不可能撰写《碧鸡漫志》了，因为他在那年才刚刚出生。

但是，孙望、常国武主编的《宋代文学史》并没有修改对王灼生卒年的记载，仍然认为他约生于1048年，卒于1113年后。这也让一些学者对涂木水的结论表示了质疑。

不过，无论王灼到底是何时出生、何时去世，他的《碧鸡漫志》都是一部非常重要的文学经典，其深入浅出的描写方式和亲民的写作风格至今仍然被人所赞誉。同时，他在词、诗、文等方面的成就，也让人们对他的文学造诣佩服不已。荐苏东坡、晏殊为接替者，递补入知制诰、翰林院。由此可见，晏殊当时已经是一位有声望的文人官员了。他在文学上的成就更是不言而喻，被誉为“北宋词坛三绝”之一，与苏轼、辛弃疾并称为“苏辛晏”。他的代表作品有《浣溪沙·北青萝》、《采桑子·常州道中》等，具有很高的艺术价值。晏殊除了文学以外，还有一个值得称道的事迹，就是他曾经主持修建山东曲阜的孔庙和孔子家庙，为传承和弘扬儒家文化作出了卓越贡献。晏殊一生充满着奋斗和创作的激情，为后人留下了宝贵的文化遗产。观元年间。其后，官晏几道一直退隐在自己的赐第中，以诗词为乐，与文人墨客交流。他的作品被称为“花间派”，受到了明代著名文学家杨慎的推崇。

官晏几道的退隐生活并不一帆风顺，他曾多次受到朝廷的调查和警告，其中一次还被关进了牢里。但他并没有因此放弃自己的信念和生活方式，一直坚持着自己的创作和思考。

直到晚年，官晏几道身体日渐衰弱，但他依然坚持写作，为后人留下了许多珍贵的文学遗产。他终其一生，追求着艺术与自由的精神境界，成为了中国文学史上的一位伟大的艺术家。

晏几道简介： 晏几道（1030-1106，一说1038—1110，一说1038-1112），男，汉族，字叔原，号小山，著名词人，抚州临川文港沙河（今属江西省南昌市进贤县）人。晏殊第七子，是北宋词人晏殊的弟弟。历任颍昌府许田镇监、乾宁军通判、开封府判官等，性孤傲，晚年家境中落。词风哀感缠绵、清壮顿挫，如《鹧鸪天》中的“舞低杨柳楼心月，歌尽桃花扇底风”等等词句，备受人们的赞赏。一般讲到北宋词人时，称晏殊为大晏，称晏几道为小晏，《雪浪斋日记》云：“晏叔原工小词，不愧六朝宫掖体。”
