2. According to historical records, Wang Yucheng was born in poverty, and his ancestors made a living by farming. However, this poor peasant-born child is gifted and particularly clever, and he can write poetry and composition at the age of nine. Later, in 983, he was a scholar in high school. Because of his good writing style, he won the favor of Song Taizong and promoted him as his secretary.
However, his EQ is too low and he is honest. He likes talking about political affairs and criticizing others. When it's time to praise a saint, he exhorts; when it's time to shut up, he criticizes, speaks frankly and never cares. Finally angered the emperor, first from Kaifeng to Shangzhou, then to Chuzhou, then to Huangzhou, and finally died in a foreign country. What an embarrassment!
4. Although Wang Yucheng doesn't know how to be an official, he is very talented in literature, so he has the appreciation of the emperor and the farewell scenes of hundreds of students. According to textual research, the articles written by Wang Yucheng inherited the style of Tang Hanyu, emphasizing simplicity and objecting to abstruse and obscure. In addition, Wang Yucheng was the pioneer of the poetry innovation movement initiated by Ouyang Xiu, Mei and others. Wang Yucheng wrote articles like this, and so did poems. His language is simple and fluent, and his style is simple and elegant. There is a poem called "Village Trip", which is highly praised by later generations.
