Tang Bohu: People laugh at me for being crazy, and I laugh at others for not being able to see through it.

in the autumn of 1499, Suzhou. A scholar was walking in the street frustrated. In the spring of the same year, he went to Beijing to take part in the examination, but now he has been exploited as an official and dismissed as a petty official. When people in the street saw him, some talked, some laughed and some scolded him: "Look, this is the man who humiliated us".

His name is Tang Yin.

Tang Yin, whose name is Bohu and whose name is Ziwei, whose name is Liuru Jushi, is from Wuxian County, Suzhou, and his ancestral home is Jinchang County, Liangzhou. Famous painter, calligrapher and poet in Ming Dynasty.

Tang Bohu, a household name. In the movie "Tong Pak Hu Dian Chou-heung" starring Stephen Chow, he is an out-and-out Gao Fushuai, and he will marry Chou-heung when he has eight wives.

In the movie, such a charming talented person image has been deeply rooted in people's hearts. But in real history, Tang Bohu is really a tragedy.

in 147, Tang Bohu was born into a well-off family in wuxian county, Suzhou. His father runs a pub and his business is booming. In feudal times, "Shang" was the last rank. Tang Bohu's father wanted to get rid of the fate of doing business for generations, so he pinned his hopes on Tang Bohu.

Tang Bohu was very talented. At the age of 14, he was appreciated by Wen Lin, the father of Wen Huiming. At the age of 15, he took the first place in the supplementary school of Suzhou government. At the age of 18, he married Xu Tingrui's second daughter. He, together with Zhu Zhishan, Wen Zhiming and Zhou Wenbin, is called "Four Great Talents in Jiangnan".

in 1494, Tang Bohu was twenty-four years old. This year, his father died, his brother died of illness, his wife died in childbirth, and he took the children away. In an instant, he was left alone in the bustling family.

In 1498, Tang Bohu Zhongying was the first in Tianfu Township Examination, which was equivalent to the champion of Jiangsu Province. During the examination period, Tang Bohu and his friends wasted time every day, only to get worse after winning the exam. Wen Zhiming wrote to persuade him:

"My father said that you are very talented, but you are frivolous and arrogant, and I am afraid that you will accomplish nothing in the end."

? Tang Bohu wrote back:

"I born this way, if you don't like me, don't make friends with me."

? In 1499, Tang Bohu went to Beijing to take part in the examination. On the way, he met a candidate, Xu Jing.

in Beijing, Xu Jing took Tang Bohu to visit famous officials everywhere. After this visit, the two men were caught in a cheating case in the imperial examination.

in the 13th year of Hongzhi, Cheng Minzheng and Li Dongyang took the main examinations. When marking the papers, Cheng Minzheng blurted out: "This must be done by Tang Yin and Xu Jing" after marking two papers. After hearing about this incident, Hua Chang, the clerk of the household division, played: Cheng Minzheng was bribed by Tang Yin and Xu Jing.

The emperor was shocked when he heard this and ordered a thorough investigation of the case. After investigation by Li Dongyang and other examiners, it was concluded that there was insufficient evidence that Cheng had been bribed by Tang and Xu. After being tortured in prison, Tang, Xu and Hua learned that Xu Jing had bribed Cheng Minzheng's children and Tang Yin had begged for a gold coin. In order to calm public opinion, the imperial court deposed Tang and Xu as petty officials and exploited their official status. And Hua Wei was demoted for playing untrue things, and Cheng Minzheng also dismissed from office and went home. This case is closed.

Back home, Tang Bohu was looked down upon by his neighbors and abandoned by his wife. He lives in poverty and can only make a living by drawing some romantic pictures. He often feasts with guests in the Peach Blossom House, which seems to be leisurely and cheerful every day, but in his letter to Wen Zhiming, he reveals his inner pain.

He wrote in the letter:

Tang Bohu can only smile, smiling that he was naive and didn't know himself, that his fame was gone, and that his dream of making contributions ended.

At this time, his painting entered a new realm. He began to paint women, but the women he wrote were not beautiful. The women painted by Tang Bohu told themselves all the time: I am lonely.

The Autumn Wind Fan Picture, Tang Yin's masterpiece. This creation expresses the life experience of a great genius with the requirement of "complaining without condescending" in the Book of Songs, which inevitably makes people very sad and loving, just like the woman in the painting, beautiful and dignified, but full of sadness, helpless and delicate and touching.

His landscape paintings are similar in style to those of the Song Dynasty, both of which paint mountains and flowing water magnificently, while the people who travel around the mountains only hide in a corner and look so small.

The small man in Mountain Road is himself.

Tang Bohu knows what it means to be indifferent, but he is still waiting, waiting for a chance to be re-selected by God.

in the autumn of 1514, Tang Bohu was hired by Zhu Chenhao, king of Ning, as the staff of Ning Palace. Tang Bohu thought his chance had come, so he immediately packed his bags and rushed to Nanchang.

but not long after, he was startled to find that Ning Wang had the intention of usurping the throne and seizing power, so he pretended to be crazy and sold his stupidity, and was released by Ning Wang and returned to his hometown again.

This time, God completely abandoned him. Tang Bohu lives in poverty, with no house to live in and no money to eat. With the help of his friends, he built a thatched cottage outside the city and named it "Peach Blossom Temple".

Tang Bohu's "Song of the Peach Blossom Temple" is a portrayal of his life. The poem "Others laugh at me because I am too crazy, and I laugh at others because I can't see through it" has been passed down from mouth to mouth by the world. Many people appreciate this poem and say that the poet has a leisurely life and a detached personality, but how many people know that his leisure and detachment are actually only despair and helplessness after being abandoned by the world.

The world is too big for a Tang Bohu.

in the winter of 1523, Tang Bohu died of illness. His friend raised money for his burial, and the tombstone read "Tomb of Tang Jieyuan".

Tang Jieyuan, Tang Bohu's most proud title in his life.
