中国唐朝以前,岭南人在朝廷似无高官。唐开元朝后,却有三位粤人先后进入唐统治集团的枢要中心。他们是韶州张九龄、连州刘瞻和潘州高力士。张九龄是一代贤相,可惜主政只有四年,时间太短。刘瞻当宰相长达十四年,但因种种原因,其经国济世之才能未得施展,其业绩政声远逊于张九龄。高力士虽为阉人,但由于其特殊的家世、特殊的背景、特殊的身份和特殊的功绩,其声名似乎更为显赫,故有“五岭之南歌大冯”之说。 Before the Tang Dynasty in China, Lingnan people appeared to have no senior officials in the court. After the opening of the Tang Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty, three Cantonese people entered the pivotal center of the Tang ruling clique. They are Zhang Jiu-ling, Shaozhou, Liuzhou and Lianzhou Gao Lishi. Zhang Jiuling is a generation of virtuous, but regrettably only four years, time is too short. Liu Zhan was prime minister for fourteen years, but due to various reasons, his ability to serve the world was not cast off, and his political performance lags far behind that of Zhang Jiuling. Although the Goliath is an eunuch, his reputation as a peculiar family background, special background, special identity and special merit seems to be even more prominent. Therefore, there is a saying of “Five Ridges South Song Dafeng”.
