When it comes to talented people, Tang Yin has to be mentioned.
This name may be unfamiliar to some people, but if we talk about his other name, not many people probably don't know it, and that is Tang Bohu.
Bohu is the name of Tang Yin. He also has another small name called Ziwei, and his nicknames are even more, such as the layman, the master of Peach Blossom Temple, Tang Sheng of Lu State, and the immortal official of Fleeing Zen. It's all his number.
Not to mention, a cultural person is a cultural person, with a lot of names, characters, numbers, etc., and Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, who created a better life for the people of the Ming Dynasty, before he participated in the Guo Zixing Uprising , not even a formal name, this gap is not ordinary.
Tang Bohu not only has many names, but is also recognized as a talented man. He was a famous painter in the Ming Dynasty. How famous is he? Let's give an example.
On September 19, 2013, Tang Bohu's "Lushan Waterfall Viewing" was auctioned. The bidding started from US$300 million. After 120 rounds of bidding, it was finally sold at a price of US$590 million. At that time, it was approximately At a total of RMB 3.6 billion, this became the most expensive painting among Tang Bohu's paintings, and also set a new world record for Tang Bohu's paintings and calligraphy auctions.
In addition, Tang Bohu's handwriting is also very good. In the autumn of 2016, Tang Bohu's "Seven Ancient Poems in Running Script" was auctioned and was finally sold for 59.57 million yuan.
It can be seen that getting an authentic painting by Tang Bohu will save a lifetime of struggle. Unfortunately, how can his paintings be owned by ordinary people, at least not Feiyu.
Tang Bohu's "talent" is all-round. He is well known for painting and calligraphy. In addition to these two, he also has high attainments in poetry writing.
In this article, we will talk about an unpopular poem by Tang Bohu. It uses only 14 words to express the sadness of wandering people all over the world. However, there are very few people who can recite it. The name of this poem is "chrysanthemum".
Let’s take a look together, but before that, let’s talk about the relationship between Tang Bohu and Qiuxiang. Qiuxiang: I am a real person in history, but I am 20 years older than Tang Bohu
Now that Tang Bohu is mentioned, many people will think of Qiuxiang. After all, friends who have watched "Tang Bohu Spots Qiuxiang" starring Zhou Xingchi have not Quite often, the two of them were lovers and finally got married, which really made countless people envious.
In addition, Tang Bohu also wrote an acrostic poem "I Love Autumn Fragrance":
I paint the long blue river water, love the thick maple leaves on the evening pavilion, and the soft autumn moon. In the Buddhist temple, cigarette smoke curls around the prayer tower.
Looking at it this way, does it make the relationship between Tang Bohu and Qiuxiang more solid? But in real history, the relationship between Tang Bohu and Qiuxiang is not like what is portrayed in movies and TV dramas. Although the two knew each other, there was probably no spark of love between them.
Qiuxiang, whose name is Lin Nuer, also known as Jinlan, Qiuxiang is her nickname. She was born in the first year of Jingtai in the Ming Dynasty (1450), which is much older than Tang Bohu (born in 1470) 20 years old, from this point of view, Tang Bohu would hardly call Qiuxiang.
Tang Bohu was not romantic by nature, but very loyal. He had three wives in his life, the first was Xu (who died long ago), and the second was He (who had a bad relationship, was divorced), and the third one was Shen Jiuniang (who died before Tang Bohu), so none of Tang Bohu's wives was named Lin, let alone Qiuxiang.
So how should we understand this acrostic poem? Maybe it's just a coincidence. After all, this poem reads very smoothly. No matter the mood or scene, everything comes together naturally, and there is no forced wording like other acrostic poems.
If a scholar wants to get ahead, he must take the imperial examination, and Tang Bohu is no exception. However, unexpectedly, he was involved in an unfounded scientific examination fraud case, which completely ruined his future.
Cheng Minzheng: These two papers must have been written by Tang Yin and Xu Jing. They are really talented in literature
When Tang Bohu was 24 years old, something happened in his family. His father, mother, wife, son, and sister all passed away one after another. Finally, under the persuasion of his friend Zhu Zhishan, Tang Bohu cheered up again, took the provincial examination, won the first place, and then went to Beijing to participate in the joint examination.
The examiners of the Beijing General Examination that year were Cheng Minzheng and Li Dongyang. Both of them were talented scholars. The questions they asked were also very unpopular. Many candidates who took the exam could not answer them at all.
But there were two test papers, but the answers were quite good. After reading them, Cheng Minzheng said: These two papers must have been answered by Tang Yin and Xu Jing. They are really talented in writing. This sentence was praised by good people. People spread the word, and as a result, someone maliciously slandered Cheng Minzheng and leaked the issue.
In order to calm public opinion, the Ming court interrogated the Jinyi guards. After verification, it was found that there was no such thing. In the end, Xu Jing gave Cheng Minzheng a meeting gift when he came to Beijing, and Tang Yin once used a gold coin to beg Cheng Minzheng. Tang Yin and Xu Jing were expelled from official positions and assigned to minor officials. However, Tang Yin refused to serve as an official because of his shame. After returning home, the couple turned against each other and divorced his wife soon after.
From then on, Tang Bohu began a career of traveling, immersed in poetry and painting, and eventually became a famous writer. The poem "Chrysanthemum" was written by Tang Bohu during his travels. Tang Bohu: It is not easy for anyone to wander around the world, so I would like to send you a song called "Chrysanthemum"
The three paths of my hometown are covered with secluded bushes, and frost falls in the blue sky one night. Visitors who have not returned from the end of the world have used the fence to watch the autumn breeze.
This poem can indeed be regarded as an unpopular poem. Very few people can recite it, especially the 14 words at the end, which express the bitterness of the wandering people in the world.
Obviously, this is an impromptu poem. There are no difficult-to-understand images in the poem. It is very fresh and elegant. It first describes the scene of the chrysanthemums blooming in the hometown without being ostentatious, and then It was a quiet opening, and it opened very suddenly, as if it fell from the sky after a night of frost.
The last two sentences are Tang Bohu using chrysanthemums as a metaphor for himself. How many literati and poets who have fallen to the end of the world can only see the strong autumn atmosphere inside the fence. When can they return home? Where is home? Isn't this what Tang Bohu is thinking about day and night?
Since Tao Yuanming only loved chrysanthemums, chrysanthemums have been a symbol of hermits and nobility. Tang Bohu used chrysanthemums to express his noble character. The officialdom was dark and he was involved in an official fraud case for no reason, and the result could only be How could he bother to be a petty official when his character is as noble as a chrysanthemum?
Tang Bohu wandered all his life and was even more impoverished in his later years. He could only rely on financial aid from his friends. He was 54 years old.
So, you, who are so knowledgeable, can you recite this little poem?
