At the end of the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties, Wang recorded the jaw-dropping skills of many talented people, which was amazing. As we all know, Wang Bo is a child prodigy. When he was six years old, he could write beautiful poems. In the year when he drowned, that is, at the age of 27, he was tickled, leaving the famous "Teng Xu". Wang Bo's death was actually jealousy of his talent. However, few people know that there is another brother named Wang, who is also a gifted boy. At the age of 20, he had already taken the first place and became an official in charge of the prince's catering affairs. During the reign, he was promoted to write letters to the emperor. On one occasion, the emperor's five sons were crowned kings on the same day, and then the country was sealed. On this big day, the relevant departments forgot to prepare the letter in advance, and officials remembered the bad things after hearing the announcement and coming to the court. Just as several prime ministers looked at each other and panicked, Wang _ came forward with a smile. Dear adults, don't worry, just look at me. Mr. Wang immediately called five young calligraphers, each with a pencil case and a pen in his hand. He shook his head and wrote separately. Less than a column of incense, wrote five letters. What is rare is that each letter is full of literary talent and elegant sentences, which makes Manchu officials gasp in admiration. With his quick thinking, Mr. Wang was awarded an academician of the Institute of Literature of China Academy of Sciences and concurrently served as the executive vice minister of the Ministry of Personnel. The Wang brothers were all great talents at that time, and their endings were not very good. Wang and his brother Wang died young because of their inhumanity and were implicated in treason.
The poet Li Bai also has a classic anecdote. During the Kaiyuan period of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, the poet was finally recommended by Taoist Wu Jun, and was called to Chang 'an by the romantic Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty to be enshrined in imperial academy. But this talented advocate saw that he was just an arty emperor who liked to watch the cultural prosperity, so he was disheartened and bohemian, became attached to wine every day and was drunk all day. On one occasion, Li Longji, the first poet of Xuanzong, assigned him a propositional composition and asked him to write "White Lotus Inflorescence" and ten palace poems with different contents. The first poet of Xuanzong didn't take this matter to heart at all, and looked at flowers drunk every day. Xuanzong waited for a long time, but he didn't see a piece of paper on Li Bai, so he called his favorite eunuch Gao Lishi to have a look. It's broken. Li Bai is drunk. As for delaying my drinking? Then he asked for a pen in front of the court and carved it without adding any words. The preface and the ten palace words were all done at once, which made Tang Xuanzong stunned. Cao Zhi wrote a seven-step poem, but it was dwarfed by Li Bai. Who is Li Bai? A poet, not a man. It's amazing.
Wen Tingyun, a cultural celebrity, is an advocate who thinks about cheating in every exam, regards the examination room as a market, and first forms the examination room industry to get the maximum profit. He likes to act as a gunman for candidates. Every time I write a composition, I have no time to draft it. Instead, I sit at my desk, put my hand in my sleeve when writing an article, and then sing it. The people in the examination room nicknamed me Wen Ba Yin. Another said that Wenda is talented and talented, and he works in Xiaofu. In the late Tang Dynasty, the Scientific Research Law stipulated that eight rhymes were one fu. Every time the official rhyme is given, Lao Wen is in no hurry, and the fork hand becomes rhyme, and the fork hand can complete the eight rhymes eight times. People also nicknamed him Wen Bajiao. Similarly, another talented person is Duan, who writes articles with gorgeous rhetoric and is famous for his wit and sensitivity, which is more interesting. He likes to eat pancakes when he takes part in the legal homework of the imperial examination. Every time he just eats a pancake, Bayun will eat eight pancakes, but after the article comes out, he is eloquent and amazing. The eccentricity of this section of childe is really incredible.
In addition to cultural celebrities, there are also some talented people in the folk who are not inferior, which makes people marvel at the magic of words and thinking. According to Feng's records, during the Tianbao period of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, there was a small official named Zhang Yi in Guanghan, Sichuan. This man claims that he has a special skill, and he can write compositions in various exams. On the day of the exam in Zhongshu Province, Zhang Yi became excited and began to show off his unique skills in full view. With the consent of the Prime Minister, he allowed 30 small officials engaged in calligraphy to walk around the court. Doing according to the topic, dictating and writing, and so on, in one afternoon, 30 people have written poems and pens, and Zhang Yi has more than 7,000 words according to the text. This is not satisfactory, so we must insist on doing everything. The prime minister, who is full of praise, quickly stopped it. Seven thousand words is enough, so there's no need to say more. Zhang Yi's deeds caused a sensation in the ruling and opposition circles. The imperial court immediately issued a decree to reward silks and satins, and then placed this outstanding talent in the Wenguang Pavilion in imperial academy. People nicknamed him Zhang Wanyan.
What's more, during the Kaiyuan period, there was a prodigy named Chang in Shangdang, Shaanxi Province. You see, not only is the name good, but the emperor likes it at first sight, and his skill is not small. At the age of fifteen, he passed the Ming Jing exam and became his brother. After a few years, he learned the Five Classics by heart, so he volunteered to go to the court and said that he had an unforgettable ability. Any article he has read can be dictated. Zhang Dacai has never tried it. Zhang said that he found an ancient book that was ugly to ordinary people and asked him to read it through ten times and memorize it. Chang Dacai sat on the floor, absorbed in studying the book in front of him, and wrote it down with his fingers every time he read it. After reading it seven times, he threw himself on the ground and said he could recite it. Zhang said that he was a little incredulous and insisted that he had read it ten times. Chang Dacai said, I have done it seven times now, why do I have to do it ten times? Zhang said that he took the book and checked for mistakes. Changda's talented people are eloquent and gushing back. I finished reciting it, just like the old book in Zhang's hand. At that time, all the people present were amazed at the heavens and the earth, and they were filled with emotion and admiration. After the senior high school entrance examination, the emperor gave him a green dress and numerous gifts, making him an official of the Prince of the East Palace, specializing in teaching Mao poetry. Maybe Changda's genius is too talented. In the next 100 days, he changed officials three times, and the emperor's splendor continued, but it was precisely because of his brilliant talent that he was jealous of his peers and was poisoned early.
Although Liu Gongquan, a calligrapher in Tang Dynasty, is famous for his regular script, he is also a great poet with quick thinking. Tang revealed an anecdote of his in "Exhortation". When Tang Wuzong Li Yan was in office, he was very dissatisfied with a concubine in the palace and always wanted to find a chance to tidy up. On this day, Liu Gongquan was called on a whim and said to Liu with a democratic face, I will punish him here. What's this called? Emperor Wu Zong is really free. What does your concubine Guan Liu have to do with it? Liu thought, what is this about my knowledge? Still looking for trouble, you don't doubt that I cuckold the emperor, do you? But saving a life is a good thing, so I readily agreed. Wu refers to the dozens of Shu brocade under the command, so let's focus on it. After a little thinking, Liu Gongquan picked up his unique skill and, with a stroke of his pen, was indignant and willing to let Nagato die alone, taking into account his master's kindness. At present, however, the king didn't care about it and went back to the pepper room to wipe his tears.
Liu Caizi is speaking his mind on behalf of the fallen princess. As expected, Wu Zong was overjoyed at first sight, and quickly asked Gong Fei to thank Liu Gongquan for saving his life. What's this called? We should ask talented people to write poems to save beautiful women.
In Yuan Dynasty, Xin's Biography of Talented Persons in Tang Dynasty contains almost all the stories of the most famous poets, writers and talented persons in Tang Dynasty. Those brilliant names are praised by later generations and reproduce the prosperity of cultural undertakings in the Tang Dynasty for us. Why did many talented poets and talents emerge in the Tang Dynasty? I think a very important reason is, of course, the opening of society, the development of economy and the prosperity of national strength in the Tang Dynasty. Of course, it is also inseparable from the imperial examination system, especially the rigid provisions on poetry in the imperial examination. Of course, ethnic integration and tolerance is also a reason, as well as political relaxation and freedom of speech, as well as the personal preferences of emperors and the rise of literati class. Life is the source of art, in the final analysis, social development and economic prosperity are the fundamental reasons and preconditions of the Renaissance.
