Wang Bo, courtesy name Zian, was born in Longmen, Jiangzhou (now Hejin County, Shanxi Province) and was one of the four heroes of the early Tang Dynasty. Wang Bo was the grandson of Wang Tong, a great Confucian in the late Sui Dynasty. Wang Tong gave birth to two sons, whose eldest name was Fujiao and whose second name was Fuzhi. Fuzhi was Wang Bo's father. He served as Dr. Taichang, Yongzhou Sigong, Jiaozhi County Magistrate, Liuhe County Magistrate, and Qi Governor. History and other positions. It can be seen that Wang Bo grew up in a scholarly family.
There are still disagreements about Wang Bo’s birth and death years. Yang Jiong's "Preface to the Collection of Wang Bo" states that he died in the third year of the Yuan Dynasty (676) of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, at the age of 28. According to this, Wang Boying was born in the 23rd year of Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty (649). Wang Bo's "Chun Si Fu" records: "In the second year of Xianheng (671), there are two in the spring and autumn." Based on this calculation, he should have been born in the first year of Emperor Gaozong's Yonghui (65O). This is Wang Bo's autobiography, which should be believed, so most scholars now believe that Wang Bo was born in the first year of Yonghui (650) and died in the third year of Shangyuan (676), at the age of 27. Wang Bo was a very talented poet in the poetry world of the early Tang Dynasty. He only lived to be 27 years old, which is indeed a pity.
Wang Bo was smart and eager to learn since childhood, and was recognized by people at the time. The original biography of "Old Book of Tang Dynasty" describes Wang Bo as: "When he was six years old, he was able to understand the genus of literature. His ideas were flawless and his lyrics were heroic and heroic. He was similar to his brother Caizao. His father's friend Du Yi Jian often called him: This is the Wang family's three-bead tree." There is also Yang Jiong's "Preface to the Collection of Wang Bo" which says: "When I was nine years old, I read Yan's "Book of Han" and wrote ten volumes of "Zhixia". At the age of ten, I comprehensively compiled the Six Classics and completed them in the period of the month. I got it from heaven and heard the sound of the symbols. Training. A hundred years of learning by the then master, combined in ten days, can be seen in the immediate discussion. "Taichang Bo Liugong called Wang Ji a prodigy. In the first year of Linde's reign (664), Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, Wang Bo wrote to Liu Xiangdao, his right minister, in which he said, "Those who are generous to their rulers have energy in their hearts and ears." He asked for Liu Xiangdao's recommendation. Liu immediately recommended him to the court, and Wang Bo was granted the title of Chaosan Lang in the third year of Linde's reign (666). At this time, Wang Bo was only 14 years old, still a teenager.
The king of Pei, Li Xian, heard of Wang Bo's name and summoned Wang Bo to compile it for the Pei Mansion. He loved him very much. At that time, the kings often had cockfights for fun. Wang Bo was joking and wrote an article "Chasing the King of Zhou's Chicken". Unexpectedly, he got into trouble because of it. Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty thought it was causing conflicts among the kings and drove Wang Bo out of Prince Pei's Mansion. In fact, Wang Bo was hit this time not because he really offended Emperor Gaozong because of "The King of Zhou's Chicken", but because he was jealous because of his talent. Therefore, Yang Jiong's "Preface to the Collection of Wang Bo" said that he "wasn't tolerated when he was showing off, and he first surrendered after seeking rebellion." . After Wang Bo was driven out of Prince Pei's Mansion, he went to Shu, where he and Yang Jiong and others enjoyed poetry and wine, and fell in love in the literary field. "The Biography of Yang Jiong in the Old Book of Tang Dynasty" says: "Jong Jiong, Wang Bo, Lu Zhaolin, and King Luo Bin are as famous for their writing and poetry. They are known as Wang Yang and Lu Luo at home, and they are also known as the Four Heroes."
The Four Heroes of the Early Tang Dynasty, in the history of Chinese literature It is a very famous group. As a group, they opposed the decadent and beautiful trend since the Six Dynasties, put forward some innovative ideas, and began to lead poetry from the palace to the market, from the pavilions to the mountains and frontier fortresses. The subject matter expanded, and the style became fresher and more vigorous. Liang Yufeng played an important role in creating a new style of Tang poetry. No one can talk about the history of Chinese literature, especially the history of literature in the Tang Dynasty, without mentioning Wang Yang and Lu Luo.
The second blow Wang Bo encountered was that he committed a crime by killing the official slave he was hiding when he was serving in the army in Guozhou. In the autumn and winter of the second year of Xianheng (671) or at the beginning of the second year, Wang Bo returned to Chang'an from Shu to participate in the subject selection. His friend Ling Jiyou was a judicial officer in Guozhou at the time. He said that Guozhou was rich in medicines and that he knew medicine and herbs, so he got him a small military position in Guozhou. While he was serving in Guozhou and joining the army, an official slave named Cao Da committed a crime. He hid the criminal, and later, fearing that the news would be leaked, he killed Cao Da to settle the matter. As a result, he committed a capital crime. Fortunately, he was granted amnesty and was not executed. This matter is very strange. Why did Wang Bo protect the criminal Cao Da? How could he hide and protect him but also kill him. According to the old and new "Book of Tang" records, Wang Bo was in trouble this time because he was arrogant because of his talent and was jealous of his colleagues. When the official slave Cao Da happened, some people suspected that he was setting up a trap for his colleagues to frame Wang Bo, or that it was purely a false accusation, which is not unreasonable. In short, Wang Bo suffered two blows, both of which were related to his superhuman talent.
This disaster, although he was pardoned and did not lose his life, marked the end of his career and also affected his father. Wang Fuzhi was demoted as the magistrate of Jiaozhi County because of his son Wang Bo's crime, and was relegated to the southern wilderness. Wang Bo traveled to Jiaozhi to visit his father, but drowned on the way, thus ending his young life. Whether Wang Bo died in an accident while crossing the water or committed suicide cannot be determined. In conclusion, he passed away with sorrow and anger.
Wang Bo is excellent in both poetry and prose, and he deserves to be the first of the four heroes. He made a particularly great contribution to turning around the remaining trends in Qi and Liang Dynasties and creating Tang poetry, and left some immortal masterpieces for future generations. His five-character poem "Sending Du Shaofu to Shuzhou" has become a masterpiece in the history of Chinese poetry and has been recited by people for a long time. "There are close friends in the sea, and we are like neighbors as far as the end of the world" has become a famous saying through the ages and is often quoted by people today. What Wang Bo is most praised for and has been passed down as a legend for thousands of years is the "Preface to the Pavilion of Prince Teng" that he composed impromptuly in the Pavilion of Prince Teng. Regarding this matter, "Tang Zhayan" has the most detailed record.
In the autumn of the second year of the Yuan Dynasty (675), Wang Bo went to Jiaozhi to visit his father. When passing through Nanchang, he happened to catch up with the governor Yan Boyu who had newly built the Tengwang Pavilion. On the Double Ninth Festival, he hosted a banquet for guests in the Tengwang Pavilion. Wang Bo went to visit him. Governor Yan had heard of his reputation and invited him to attend the banquet. Governor Yan hosted this banquet to show off his son-in-law, Bachelor Meng, to everyone. Ask the son-in-law to prepare a preface in advance and write it as an impromptu composition during the dinner for everyone to read.
At the banquet, Governor Yan asked people to take out pen and paper, pretending to invite everyone to preface the event. Everyone knew his intention, so they all declined to write. However, Wang Bo, a young man in his twenties, did not refuse, took the pen and paper, and wrote in public. The boss of Governor Yan was not happy, so he stood up from his clothes, transferred the money to his account, and asked others to see what Wang Bo had written. When I heard that Wang Bo wrote "The old capital of Nanchang, the new capital of Hongdu" at the beginning, the governor said: It's just a cliché. He also heard that "the stars are divided into wings, and the ground is connected to Henglu", and he was silent. When he heard "The setting clouds and lonely birds fly together, the autumn water and the long sky are the same color", the governor had to admire and said: "This true genius should be immortal!". "The Biography of Talented Scholars of the Tang Dynasty" records: "Bo Xinran played the goblet to the guests, and he did it in an instant, without adding any words, and the whole house was shocked."
What is recorded in "Tang Yan" and other books may be a bit exaggerated, But Wang Bo's "Preface to Prince Teng's Pavilion" is indeed an immortal masterpiece. Wang Bo wrote the "Preface to Prince Teng's Pavilion" at the banquet of Governor Yan in Nanchang. It is actually the most touching story in the history of Chinese literature. "New Book of Tang" has this legend that Wang Bo "belongs to literature. He didn't think hard at the beginning. He first ground out a few liters of ink, then drank heavily, and then he lay down with his face covered, and then he drew a pen and wrote it into a chapter, but it was difficult to write a word." Duan Chengshi, a Tang Dynasty man, "Youyang" "Zazu" also said: "Every time Wang Bo wrote a poem for a stele, he first rubbed several liters of ink, then lay down on his face, and then suddenly started to count the strokes without changing the points at the beginning. People at the time called it a belly draft." According to this, it can be seen that Wang Bo's writing is quick and agile. The famous poem written impromptuly in the pavilion of King Teng is not a false legend.
Wang Bo, as a very talented writer in ancient times, passed away before he was 30 years old. It is really a great loss to Chinese literature.
Although Wang Bo only lived for 27 years, he still wrote a lot. He wrote ten volumes of "Hanshu Zhixia", five volumes of "Book of Changes", ten volumes of "The Analects of Confucius", and "Zhuzhong Compilation" There are five volumes of "Preface" and several volumes of "Thousand Years Calendar", but unfortunately they are all lost. What has been handed down today is only the 16 volumes of "Wang Zi'an Collection", which is not the complete version. "Revisiting the New School's Collection of Wang Zi'an" edited and compiled by Professor He Lintian, which includes some lost articles from Japan, has been published by Shanxi People's Publishing House.
