Abstract: Chen Guan was mainly active in the Song Dynasty and Huizong Dynasty,which had a profound political and academic influence at that time.However,because of attacking Wang Anshi and his changes,he was repeatedly attacked by Zeng Bu,Cai Jing and other powerful officials.He was displaced all his life,and his official position was not eminent.As a result,the basic historical materials and works of Chen Guan circulated today are often erroneous.This paper makes full use of the basic historical materials such as Siming Zunyaoji and Songchenzhongsugong Yanxinglu,and makes clear that Chen Yu was born in the second year of Jiayou(1057)and died in the fourth year of Xuanhe(1122).He is Chen Yuans uncle,not his granduncle.This paper also corrects the mistakes that have always been thought to be Chens works:Wujiang Zuo(also called Luxiangting),Chuihongting and Songzhigangshengroushi,which were written by Lin Zhao,Wang Yucheng and Shao Yong respectively;Daijiu Caoshijun Zhiyunzhouxiebiao,Daicangbu Zhijizhou Xiebiao,Daicangbu Zhichizhou Xiebiao,and Daishufu Zhinan’anjun Xiebiao,were written by Lv Zuqian.Daihe Huangtaihou Shengchenbiao and Daihe Mingtang Libibiao were written by Qin Guan.
