What was the level of the four great talents in Jiangnan at that time?

At that time, the four talented people in Jiangnan were representatives of outstanding young people in Jiangnan, but they were only representatives of Jiangnan, and there were also talents in other regions who could match them.

1. Four great talents in the south of the Yangtze River: Tang Yin and Zhu Zhishan. Tang Yin and Zhu Zhishan have known each other for a long time. They played together since childhood, and Tang Yin was the most famous of the four gifted scholars in Jiangnan. Although the official career was not smooth, although Tang Yin was admitted to the scholar at first, he lost the opportunity to take part in the imperial examination because of cheating in the later exam, so he was very disappointed with the officialdom, and then returned to China to concentrate on painting and calligraphy, and finally made great achievements in the field of painting and calligraphy. He learned the styles of his predecessors in painting, and then combined them to form his own style. Representative works include Autumn Wind and Sailing. His calligraphy style is flexible and changeable, giving people a casual feeling. Representative works include fallen petal poems. Unlike Tang Yin, Zhu Zhishan's official career journey is very smooth. He is both a magistrate and a judge. His main achievement is calligraphy, which is generous and his works are basically weeds.

Wen Zhiming and Xu Zhenqing: Four Great Talents in Jiangnan. Wen Zhiming was a famous painter and calligrapher in Ming Dynasty in China. He was born in an official family, but he was repeatedly frustrated in officialdom. He only briefly entered the officialdom for a period of time in middle age, and then spent all his time traveling and studying calligraphy and painting. His works are more casual, but because of the extreme wind, they were questioned by some people at that time. Xu Zhenqing is the least famous among the four gifted scholars in the south of the Yangtze River. The reason is that most of his works are critical of current politics, not the social atmosphere at that time. Then he was excluded by some people, and he also criticized Zhu Yuanzhang, so his works were not particularly famous at that time.

Third, the level of the four masters in Jiangnan only represents the Jiangnan area. The name "Jiangnan Four Talents" tells us what the level of Jiangnan Four Talents was at that time, which only represented Jiangnan area. There are still many talents in the Ming Dynasty. For example, the three talents in the Ming Dynasty represent the most famous talents of that era.
