Abstract: During the reign of Emperor Renzong,when the politics of the scholar-officials was fully established,Zhao Bian,who had long served as a local official,entered the court as a Palace Censor.Following the institutional construction during Emperor Zhenzongs reign,the Censors and Remonstrance Officials of the Song Dynasty transitioned from nominal positions with mere titles to ones actively exercising their supervisory functions.From then on,the Censors and Remonstrance Officials,collectively known as “Taijian”,played a significant role in the history of the Song Dynasty.The scholar-official politics greatly stimulated a sense of responsibility among many intellectuals.In the relatively normal state where there was no intense party struggle,the words and actions of the Taijian also enabled the feedback function of the supervisory system to operate normally.Zhao Bians extensive submission of memorials during his two-year tenure as a Censor serves as clear evidence of this.Beyond general criticisms of state affairs,Zhao Bians most notable contribution as the “Iron-faced Censor” was his fierce opposition to influential ministers such as Chancellor Chen Zhizhong.The significance of Zhao Bians conduct lies not only in his personal integrity but also in his embodiment of the positive qualities of scholar-officials in the Song Dynasty.His actions reflect the spirit of responsibility that traditional Chinese intellectuals bore,shaped by the convergence of Confucian thought and the political environment of the scholar-officials.
