But by the time he was 24, his luck seemed to have run out. Successive tragedies made him almost want to end his life. First, my parents died, and then my beloved sister died. This has made Tang Bohu very sad. Soon after, his wife died in childbirth, and all his relatives died, leaving Tang Bohu alone.
At the age of 29, Tang Bohu finally won the Xie Yuan Award. When he finally went to Beijing to take the exam, he met Xu Jin, a scholar who was also in Beijing to catch the exam, and he was involved in the case of cheating in the exam. The emperor was very angry when he heard this, and banned all candidates who had relations with Xu Jin. Tang Bohu is innocent, so he is banned for life. At that time, only examinations could change a person's class. It was naturally unrealistic for Tang Bohu to inherit his father's career at that time. For him, being a big official can not only better display his talents, but also satisfy his long-standing ambitions. As a result, the lifelong ban on exams means that Tang Bohu has been cut off from the opportunity to change his life, and he can only be a down-and-out scholar for the rest of his life. When his second wife learned about it, she abandoned him immediately.
Even though Tang Bohu has extraordinary talents in calligraphy, poetry and even painting, these still can't change his poor life. Later, someone asked him to write couplets for a toilet at the price of 12 silvers. He readily accepted and agreed to this person's request. This poem for the toilet has also become a very classic work, which has been passed down to this day.
Part one: It seems that the guests are affectionate and righteous, and they will never regret taking off their clothes. Part two: Don't say this thing is useless. It will protect the flowers more if it turns into spring mud.
The antithesis of this couplet is neat and brilliant. From this pair of couplets, we can see Tang Bohu's poetic talent. Originally, the content was written about the toilet, and the toilet was a place for excretion, but it made people feel very chic after reading it. Generally speaking, people who want to go to the toilet are very affectionate, willing to unbutton their clothes and never regret it. It is also for the pursuit of carefree feeling, and it will not say that their shit is useless. It can not only
Generally speaking, poetry does not write about the filth of the toilet, but makes people feel that coming to the toilet is a noble act, which also implicitly expresses its use and even beautifies the excrement. In the original poem, Tang Bohu's descriptions are not only one-to-one, but also progressive in structure. He used the allusion of protecting flowers with spring mud to enrich its connotation. On the whole, antithesis is neat and catchy, and poetry also has certain connotations. It is precisely because of its Excellence that it can spread to future generations, become a household name and become an insurmountable masterpiece in people's eyes. What do you think of this work?
