Tang Yin (1470 ~ 1523), word, word Bohu, No.6 Ruju, owner of Peach Blossom Temple, Lu, immortal history of escaping Zen, Nanjing. Wuxian (now Suzhou, Jiangsu) people. A famous painter, calligrapher and poet in the Ming Dynasty, he was one of the "Wu Four Schools" (Shen Zhou,,, also known as "Ming Sijia"). 16 years old is a scholar and 29 years old is a scholar. He was imprisoned because he was falsely accused in the exam. Since then, he has no intention of becoming famous. He used the proceeds from selling paintings to buy the "Taohuawu Villa" and named it "Taohuaan". He had a rough life and a wild personality. There is a seal saying that he is "the first romantic talent in Jiangnan". His poems are fluent and popular, and he is also called "Four Talents in Wuzhong" with Zhu Yunming, Wen Zhiming and Xu Zhenqing. Painting landscapes, figures, flowers and birds, pavilions and pavilions can be done. His landscape paintings, one of which was greatly influenced by Zhou Chen, Li Tang and Liu Songnian, showed a courtyard style; Another kind of landscape painting is mostly based on the painting methods of the Yuan Dynasty, showing a beautiful and meticulous style. Figure painting is accurate and beautiful, with elegant modality and satirical content. In the early years, meticulous brushwork was the mainstay, with delicate brushwork and bright colors. Later, it was also a long ink painting with smooth washing and concise brushwork. Flowers and birds are mainly ink and wash, free and easy but not chaotic, showing a lively and elegant style. There is a collection of poems and essays, The Collection of Six Confucian Laymen (also called The Complete Works of Tang Bohu), which has been handed down from generation to generation.
98 camels are behind the mountain.
Tang Yin's painting fans are famous for their superb skills. One day, someone deliberately made things difficult for him and asked him to draw 100 camels on a small fan painting.
Without further ado, Tang Yin nodded and drew on the sector. I saw him draw a desert first, with a lonely peak in the middle and a bend in the road below. At first glance, the man didn't see a camel, because the area was almost full. He smiled smugly and thought, see how he can draw 100 camels! I saw Tang Yin draw the second half of a camel on the left side of the mountain, and the first half of a camel on the right side of the mountain, and then put the pen aside. The man was anxious and said, "100 is not enough!" "
Tang Yin smiled gently, took a pen, and wrote a poem beside the painting: "One hundred camels walk around the mountain, and ninety-eight are behind the mountain. The tail camel has a headless head, and the head camel shows a ravine." The man was speechless when he saw it.

There is not a flower in the fragrant flower.
Some people know that Tang Yin's painting fan is necessary, but they still want to test him. One day, a scholar-like man asked Tang Yin to draw a fan. He named himself "Flower Fragrance", but he didn't want a petal on the fan, hoping to catch Tang Yin.
Tang Yin nodded and drew some green leaves on the right side of the fan. A swarm of bees and a butterfly flew by. Then, Tang Yin wrote the word "floral fragrance" on the fan.
The scholar saw it and marveled at Tang Yin's ingenious conception.
Hide secrets in fans and laugh at evil slaves.
Once, Tang Yin came to Ning Wangfu to save Cui Suqiong, a talented woman. There are a group of outlaws in the palace, including Li Ziran and Li Rifang brothers.
One day, they found Tang Yin. After a while, they took out a white folding fan from their sleeves and said, "I've heard a lot about you. Please draw a fan with your hand today. "
Tang Yin wanted to dismiss these two evil slaves, but in order to save lives, he had to submit to humiliation and perfunctory. When the painters were lowered, he painted a osmanthus flower on the fan. Li Ziran pretended to be gentle and full of flattery: "Tang Jieyuan is really a stroke of genius, and my generation seems to smell the sweet-scented osmanthus on the fan." Li Rifang also followed pleasure, and even smells good! This touched Tang Yin's brainwave, and he drew two green-shell crabs with bared teeth on the edge of osmanthus. Two idiots didn't know there was a mechanism, so they took it away with tears in their eyes.
In fact, there is a four-character puzzle hidden in this painting. Some people speculate that it is "running wild (fragrant) in the country"
Wide range of materials and elegant style.
Tang Yin's painting fans are rich and varied, subtle and thoughtful. For example, he wrote a quatrain on the title of Autumn Fan Map: "Qiu Lai's fans should be collected, so why should beauty be sentimental?". Please look closely at the world, everyone will not be cold. " You can see knowledge in the fan.
Tang Yin painting fan, with a wide range of materials, covers ancient and modern times, and is compatible with elegance and vulgarity. Most of the landscapes painted on the fan are places of interest in the south of the Yangtze River, and the reality is concrete. Looking at it, like the sound of Wensongquan, makes people feel that they can swim and live. The mountains and rivers in the painting are often complex, majestic and steep, but the brushwork is fine, the layout is sparse and elegant. Its flower-and-bird fan painting is longer than ink painting, free and easy, and its style is handsome.
