Tang Bohu's "Lighting Chou-heung" is an ancient historical story in China, which took place in the Ming Dynasty. The protagonist of the story is the gifted scholar Tang Bohu, that is, Tang Yin.
As early as Jiajing or Wanli in Ming Dynasty, Xiang recorded the story with Chou-heung in his note Miscellaneous Notes on Banana Window.
The Authenticity of Tang Bohu's Lighting Autumn Fragrance
1 According to historical research, Chou-heung was a prostitute in Nanjing during Chenghua period of Ming Dynasty, named Lin Nuer, who was 20 years older than Tang Bohu. Hua Taishi is from Wuxi, 27 years younger than Tang Bohu. Therefore, Tang Bohu and "San Xiao" divorced from the marriage relationship.
Some operas describe Tang Bohu as a womanizer, a slut, a hooligan and a literary hooligan with eight or nine dissatisfied wives. He is best at flirting with women and playing tricks. Tang Bohu has a spirit in heaven and will be wronged. This century-old "unjust case" will be overturned again.
Tang Bohu is a poor scholar. "In the reflection room, the bottle is broken, and there are many things besides clothes and shoes" (Tang Yin's Book with Wen Zhiming). He sells paintings for a living, and it is still difficult to maintain his life. How can he afford eight or nine wives? In fact, Tang Yin didn't take a concubine to marry a little girl. His original wife died of illness, and the second wife thought that Tang Bohu had no hope of becoming an official. The last confidante was Shen nine niang, and the rumor among the people was the ninth wife. In addition, another reason for the rumor is the different interpretation of the word "romance".
