Wang Tengting, located on the bank of Ganjiang River in Jiang Yan Road, Nanchang City, was built in Hongzhou by Li Shimin, brother of Emperor Taizong, and Li Yuanying, commander-in-chief of Wang Teng, hence the name "Wang Tengting". Wang Tengting has always been a place where literati recite poems, write poems, sing and dance. Therefore, the display of the newly-built Wang Teng Pavilion highlights the characteristics of its cultural exhibition hall. The gilded "Wang Teng Pavilion" was inscribed in Su Shi's ink, and the stainless steel couplet at the main entrance "Lonely sunset in Qi Fei, autumn water in the sky" was inscribed by Mao Zedong. The rest of the plaques, couplets, or the essence of ancient calligraphy, or today's famous treasures, all kinds of large-scale murals and reliefs all reflect the theme of "treasures of things" and "outstanding people and outstanding people". The white marble relief "The wind comes to send Wang Tengting", and the ancient bells, musical instruments, bronze sacrifices and ritual vessels are remote and quaint.
Tengwangge enjoys a high reputation, largely due to this well-known essay "Preface to Tengwangge". Its author, Zi An, was born in Longmen, Jiangzhou (now Hejin County, Shanxi Province), and was called "the four outstanding figures in the early Tang Dynasty" with Luo, Yang Jiong and Lu. At the age of six, he was good at writing articles and was called a child prodigy. It is said that he was recommended to serve in North Korea at the age of fifteen. Later, he was dismissed for writing articles that offended powerful people. About 26 years old, I went to visit my father, passed by Nanchang, and attended a banquet hosted by Yan, the governor of Nanchang, at Tengwangge, where I wrote a poem as a preface. Later, on the way to visit relatives, he crossed the ocean and drowned, and died of fright. Preface to Wang Tengting became his "swan song".
Wang Bo is also famous for his Preface to Wang Tengting. It is said that when writing this article, there are also allusions: On September 9, the second year of Shang Yuan (675), Governor Yan Bo of Hongzhou gave a big banquet here, and Wang Bo happened to pass by Nanchang, which was also invited. Yan Ben wanted his son-in-law to write a preface of praise, so the preface was prepared in advance. But he ordered people to take out paper and pens and pretended to invite the guests present to preface Teng Wangge. People know Yan's intentions and deliberately don't write. When it was given to the king, the smallest guest wrote it down without hesitation. Yan Taishou saw it and was very dissatisfied. He left his seat, waved his sleeves angrily, and asked someone to monitor Wang Bo's composition and report at any time. Wang Bo began to write: "Nanchang old county, Hongdu new house", and Yan Wen said with a smile: "It's just a cliche". Then he reported: "The stars spread their wings and meet Lu Heng slowly." Yan disdained, "It's nothing more than the past." It was also reported: "Raise three rivers and five lakes, control barbarians and attract Ouyue." Yan listened, thoughtfully for silence. Then several people came to report one after another, and Yan couldn't help nodding. When the newspaper reported that "sunset and loneliness, autumn waters and sky are the same color", Yan couldn't help jumping up and praising. All the guests and friends were impressed. After the full text was written, Yan's son-in-law spoke, saying that it was an existing article of predecessors, and needless to say, and then recited the preface to the pavilion word by word, which surprised the people present and his extraordinary memory. Wang Bo secretly admired after hearing this, but he had a brainwave and asked, "There is a poem after the preface. Can you recite it? " Hearing this, the son-in-law was tongue-tied. Wang Bo scribbled a poem: "Linjiang Zhu, sing and dance. Draw a building to fly to Nanpu Cloud, and Judy will roll up the rain at dusk in the western hills. The shadow of the idle cloud pool is long, and things change for a few years. Where is the emperor in today's pavilion, the Yangtze River flows freely outside the threshold. "
Beautiful, such a poem! Such allusions! Such a famous building! Flying clouds lie in the water, and the mountain shadows are oblique; Spring breeze and autumn moon, cherish our country!
