In 675 AD (the second year of Shangyuan), in order to celebrate the new pavilion, Wu, the son-in-law, was invited to make a preface on September 9 to show his name. Unexpectedly, just as he pretended to be modest, Wang Bo began to write. In the name of "changing clothes", Yan angrily left the meeting, and someone was waiting for him to write a letter. When I first heard that "Zhang Yu is an old county and Hongdu is a new house", Gong Yan felt that "it is also a cliche"; Next, "the stars are divided into wings, and the ground is connected to Lu Heng", listening to the public and thinking silently; As for the phrase "the sunset is lonely in Qi Fei, the autumn waters are * * * and the sky is one color", it is even more surprising. "This is the real genius and should be immortal!" , for the sake of Apollo side and view, then eager to please dinner, very huan. [6]
There have always been two opinions about the creation time of preface to Wang Teng-ting. One of them is Don Yi Yan written by kings in the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties: "At the age of fourteen, I wrote Preface to Wang Tengting." At that time, Wang Bo's father may be appointed as the order of Liuhe County (now Jiangsu Province), and Wang Bo will go to Liuhe through Hongzhou. In this preface, there is a saying that "teenagers know everything and say everything", which can also be proved. Secondly, the new Biography of Tang Caizi in Yuan Dynasty believed that the Pavilion Preface was written when he visited his father in Jiaotoe (northwest of Hanoi, Vietnam) (at that time, his father was a county magistrate in Jiaotoe), and passed by Nanchang in the second year of last year (675).
