From 1493 to 1494, Tang Yin's parents, wife and sister passed away one after another. With the great changes in family and Zhu's advice, Tang Yin finally settled down and studied hard. Later, he took the Nanjing Provincial Examination with 1498 and won the first place in the "Xie Yuan". As Tang Yin's reputation of "* * * Yuan" resounded through the southeast, a bright future spread out to him. If all goes well, it may be "three consecutive championships" waiting for him. He may not only become the second No.1 scholar after Wu Kuan, but also break Wang Song's profit share in the company. After he became a member, he was jealous in the court exam and was recorded as a pity. In short, he may become the third "three-way" figure in Daming since the founding of the People's Republic of China, and he has made outstanding achievements since then. Following the fans, Tang Yin went to Beijing for an exam the following year. The arrogant Tang Yin was caught in a cheating case in the examination room. In the end, although it was not pursued, the scientific research qualification was cancelled. Tang Yin's life suddenly fell to the bottom. As a matter of fact, there is one person who foresaw Tang Yin's life, and that person is Wen Lin. When he was in high spirits in Tang Yin High School, Wen Lin wrote to comfort his unsuccessful son, Wen Zhiming, and said, "Wei Zi should rest assured, but he is impetuous and is not afraid of anything in the end. My son will stay away, which is beyond his power. " Men are impetuous, and in the end they are not afraid of anything. The focus is on the so-called "spicy taste of ginger". I sent a message to my son, "He will be far away from me, but he has nowhere to go." You really know your son better than your father. Later, although Xiaowen was tested and defeated repeatedly, he never even went to high school in his life. But he saw that Gao Deyi was 90 years old, so he lived for a long time. Is it possible for Tang Yin to compete with him? After the examination room, Tang Yin lost his official career. According to Jiang's textual research, Tang Yin officially worshipped Zhou Chen as a teacher at this time, and made clear his life direction as a professional painter. As for why he worshipped Zhou Chen as a teacher, it is obvious that Zhou Chen's painting method is more in line with Tang Yin's view on landscape painting and is more popular in the market. It is conceivable that in Suzhou at that time, although Shen Zhou's fame was rising, it was still Zhou Chen, not Shen Zhou, who occupied the top spot in Suzhou art market. 1500, Tang Yin went sightseeing for nine months to relieve his depression and prepare for his future career. Cross the Yangtze River, climb Lushan Mountain, visit Huangzhou Chibi and climb Yueyang Tower; Then visit Wuyishan, Yandang Mountain and Tiantai Mountain; Back to Fuchun River, to Qililong, Deng Yan and Xieertai; Finally, enter Anhui, visit Huangshan Baiyue and return. Along the way, I looked at the beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers with a pleasant antique, and gradually calmed my mood; Huge clouds nourish Tang Yin's mind. In 505, 36-year-old Tang Yin visited Taohuawu in the north of the city one day, and saw the former site of Zhangzhuang simple villa in the Song Dynasty, with clear springs under the forest and lush vegetation, so he began to buy land for gardening. He wrote a letter to Xu Zhenqing, a new scholar at that time. He was willing to give up his books to raise money to build a garden. I don't want to be demoted just because I made a mistake in politics, which can't help. Tang Yin had to be diligent in selling paintings. Two years later, he finally broke ground and erected beams and columns. Soon, a garden villa "Taohua Temple" was completed. At that time, it can be seen that Tang Yin's paintings were really popular in the market. It is said that Tang Yin often asked Zhou Chen, his teacher, to write for him when his paintings were the most popular. Jiang Shu's History of Silent Poetry: "All his paintings of Liu Ru are famous, or he is too lazy to spend money on them. Every time he asked Dongcun to do it. " It can be seen that since Tang Yin joined the army of professional painters, the Suzhou art market has undergone subtle changes, with students rapidly surpassing teachers. The reason is that Zhou Chen thinks that "it's just that no one has thousands of books in his chest." Comparing the paintings of the Tang Dynasty and Tuesday, the most obvious difference is that there are no poems in the paintings, but there are almost poems in Tang Yin's paintings, except that Li Rihua said that "the East Village is dense and old, Bohu Lake is graceful and detached, and its charm is naturally different". so-c
In other words, with the continuous improvement of people's living standards, people's requirements for culture are getting longer and longer in southern Jiangsu and northern Zhejiang, where the economy made a fortune during Hongzhi period. At present, it is not only pleasing to the eye, but also very cultural. At present, body painting should not only be pleasing to the eye, but also be cultivated. In detail, in addition to people and landscapes, there are stories, calligraphy and poems. In short, spend one share and enjoy three or four shares. This is reflected in the art market, the country's demand for culture, Zhou Chen didn't learn much, only the title. At most, it is a professional painter of the older generation. For example, adding some character stories would be disastrous. Of course, for Tang Yin, consciously promoting this trend will undoubtedly effectively improve its influence and market share. So we can see most of Tang Yin's works, including aristocrats, poems with inscriptions, stories and pictures full of leisure. In addition, mountains and valleys, flowing water and clear springs, cool breeze in Xu Lai, ancient temples and villages, high and quiet guests talking, lakes and mountains, fishing and rivers are naturally loved by almost everyone. This artistic tendency is actually a way to cater to social needs with culture as a prop, which is essentially different from the Shenzhou style with cultural exploration significance. Therefore, I think Tang Yin's artistic path is market-oriented, not the Yuan Sijia-Shen Zhou elite route. To occupy a major position in the market, popularity is of course very important. With the legend of Tang Yin's life, he has enjoyed high popularity. However, it is obviously not enough to live on one's laurels. We still need fresh stories that keep pace with the times to stimulate street discussions, to be the talk after dinner, and to be the eternal entertainment protagonist. It is more reliable to understand Tang Yin's absurd behavior and laissez-faire. Although Tang Yin joked that "others laugh at me as crazy", we still don't know what he did to spread his reputation as a coquettish genius except folklore. The famous story of "Tang Bohu lighting autumn fragrance" comes from "Nine Stories of Banana Window in Hunan". But later generations simply decided that it was a fake book, so it was more difficult to determine the truth of the story. Li's The Painter of Ming Dynasty
