Who is the fairy in the peach tree?

Tang Yin

Peach Blossom Fairy is a peach tree, selected from Song of Peach Blossom Temple by Tang Yin in Ming Dynasty. Song of the Peach Blossom Temple is a seven-character ancient poem. In this poem, the poet pretends to be the Peach Blossom Fairy, and refers to two completely different lifestyles by "drinking from old age" and "bowing before riding a horse" respectively, which forms a sharp contrast between the rich and the poor, and shows his true heart in ordinary reality with vulgar negative side and cynical spirit. The whole poem has distinct levels and simple language, but it contains infinite artistic tension, giving people a steady stream of aesthetic enjoyment and strong sense of identity.

Taohuaan

Speaking of the Peach Blossom Temple, here is a story. It is said that Tang Bohu took a fancy to a house in Suzhou, and was later abandoned by others. No one has left his job for a long time. There is also a place in Suzhou called Taohuawu. According to records, when Tang Bohu decided to buy a house, because he had no money, he had to use some of his books as collateral to borrow money from an official friend in Beijing. Later, he spent more than two years trying to write, draw and sell money before paying off the payment.

Tang Yin, the word Bohu, was born in Wuxian County (now Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province), and his ancestral home is Jinchang County, Liangzhou. He was a famous painter, calligrapher and poet in Ming Dynasty. Li Tang and Liu Songnian, which belong to the patriarchal clan system of landscape painting, integrate the North and South painting schools, with meticulous brushwork, sparse arrangement and elegant and handsome style.

His flower-and-bird paintings are good at freehand brushwork and free and easy. Handsome calligraphy, Zhao Meng _.

Tang Yin's ancestors were former generals Liang Lingjiang and Tang Hui, the satrap of Jinchang County, so Tang Yin often inscribed the title of "Jinchang Tang Yin" on his paintings and calligraphy. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, his ancestor Tang Jian fought with Li Yuan and was named "Jugong", so Tang Yin also called himself "Lu Tang Sheng". In the Ming Dynasty, his ancestor Tang Tai was the commander of the Ministry of War and died in the Battle of the Civil Fort. Tang Tai's descendants are mostly scattered in Baixia and Li Qiao, Wuxian County, Suzhou. Tang Yin was born in this area, and his father, Tang Guangde, runs a pub.

Flirting Scholar

The embryonic form of Tang Bohu's story of igniting Chou-heung first appeared in novels of Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty novelist wrote a story in Ear, which said that Chen, a talented scholar in Suzhou, was exactly the same as Chou-heung. When the story reached Feng Menglong in the late Ming Dynasty, it became Tang Jieyuan's Marriage with a Smile, which was included in Warning. In China's traditional operas, the story began with "smiling before flowers" in the late Ming Dynasty, and later developed from smiling to tanci in Wang's Yuan and Zhuo's Tang Bohu Thousand-Jin Flower Boat Yuan. In the Qing Dynasty, these operas were widely circulated, and in the late Qing Dynasty, the ballad "Nine Beautiful Pictures" appeared, telling the story that Tang Bohu married nine beautiful wives.
