Tang Bohu, one of the four gifted scholars in the south of the Yangtze River, was born in Tang Yin. Some people think that he is called Tang Yin, because he was born in silver moon, the year of Silver. However, according to Tang Yin's epitaph, we can know that Tang Yin was born on the fourth day of February in the sixth year of Chenghua, that is, ugly day in Uzuki in the next year, so Tang Yin was named after his birth year.
In addition, from the name of Tang Yin's younger brother Tang Shen, we can also confirm it. Tang Shen was born in Shen Nian, so people call him Tang Shen. Their father gave them names too casually. What are the chances of this name colliding?
Tang Yin was called Tang Bohu because his word was Bohu, but Tang Yin later changed the word to Wei Zi, taking the number six as a laity, the owner of the Peach Blossom Temple, the Tang Sheng of Lu, and the deity who had escaped Zen. Tang Yin experienced four emperors: Ming Xianzong Zhu Jianshen, Ming Xiaozong Zhu Shitang, Ming Wuzong Zhu Houzhao and Ming Shizong Zhu Houzong. He was a famous painter, calligrapher and poet in Ming Dynasty, but his life was bumpy and poor.
Tang Yin's ancestors can be traced back to Tang Hui, the general of Liang Ling. In addition to Tang Hui, Tang Yin's ancestors also had Tang Jian, the Duke of Ju State in the Tang Dynasty, and Tang Tai, the commander of the Ministry of War in the Ming Dynasty, all died in the battle of Civil Fort. Tang Yin is a descendant of Emperor Taizong, who lived in Suzhou for generations. His father, Tang Guangde, made a living by running a pub, so Tang Yin's childhood life was relatively rich.
What's Tang Bohu's real name? Tang Guangde was a scholar, but he became a businessman to make a living. He knew that reading could change his destiny, so he attached great importance to Tang Yin's study since he was a child. In order to cultivate Tang Yin, he also spent a lot of money to ask Mr. Xue to give Tang Yin a special lesson.
Tang Yin lived up to his father's expectations. He is very clever. At the age of sixteen, he won the first place in Suzhou. Since then, Tang Yin's reputation as a gifted scholar has spread like wildfire, and Tang Yin has made many friends. 19 years old, Tang Yin married his first wife, Xu. The Xu family has four children, one son and three daughters, and the Xu family ranks second among the three daughters.
Tang Yin and Xu are deeply attached to each other, and they gave birth to a son after marriage.
In the seventh year of Hongzhi, Tang Yin's father, Tang Guangde, died, and the Tang family began to decline. In the end, Tang Yin had to make a living by selling calligraphy and painting, and his life was very tight.
The years when Tang Guangde died should be the darkest years in Tang Yin's life, because Tang Yin's mother, son, wife and sister all died one after another. Tang Yin's son is no more than five years old. Poor Tang Yin lost all his relatives almost at once, only one elder brother was still around.
At the age of 26, Tang Yin was already white-haired, and he still insisted on reading. At the age of 28, he won the first place in the provincial examination in Zhongnan Zhili!
In fact, something happened in this inspection. At that time, Tang Yin and his good friend Zhang Ling went shopping in brothels and became dissolute, which aroused the disgust of local chronicles, so Tang Yin was eliminated by Sun Shan in the exam. Tang Yin's good friend Wen Zhiming's father Lin Wen, Shen Zhou, and Suzhou magistrate all appreciated Tang Yin's literary talent and interceded for Tang Yin. Finally, local chronicles reluctantly agreed to let Tang Yin take the provincial examination, and finally Tang got the provincial examination in Tianfu.
The following year, Tang Yin went to Beijing to take the exam. I didn't expect him to be involved in the leak with Xu Jing because of his good answer, and public opinion was everywhere. In order to suppress this matter, the court put the relevant people in prison for review, but found nothing. However, in order to quell public anger, he casually fabricated a charge and added it to Tang Yin and Xu Jing. He also removed Tang Yin and Xu Jing from their posts and demoted them to county magistrate beadle. Tang Yincai is arrogant. How could he be willing to be a small official? He resolutely refused the official position, and since then, he has traveled all over the world, devoted himself to poetry and painting, and finally became a famous painter.
After Xu Shi, Tang Yin married two more wives, but he was at odds with the second wife, so he repaired her. Shen Shi, the third wife, gave birth to a daughter to Tang Yin. Tang Yin died without a son. Although his younger brother Tang Shen had already separated from Tang Yin, he adopted his three-year-old son to Tang Yin and became the heir of Tang Yin. Tang Yin died at the age of 54.
