李觉使安南考

On a Diplomatic Mission of Li Jue

中越史书记载986年宋朝派遣李觉随同李若拙出使安南,《大越史记全书》又记987年李觉再次出使安南,与安南法师顺联句并赠诗。李觉第二次出使仅见于《大越史记全书》,其他的中越史书均未记载,且当年亦无使节往返。彼时宋黎战争刚刚结束,两国摩擦不断,使臣行为谨慎,均欲以辞屈折对方,不大可能出现和平时期的联句和赠诗。《大越史记全书》所载李觉二次出使安南事宜及赋诗当为后人托名增补。

According to Chinese and Vietnamese history books, Li Jue accompanied Li Ruozhuo on a diplomatic mission of Vietnam in 986.DC. One year later, Li Jue was sent to Vietnam for the second time. He wrote poem with Du Fashun together, and gave another poem as a present＇ to the monk. This event only recorded in history book of Great Vietnam. The relationship of the two countries was not good at that time, because they carried on a war several years ago. So it＇s impossible to have a good literature story as peaceful times. The second diplomatic event of Li Jue was other people forged and borrowed the name of the special envoy.
