mentioned romantic talents, the first thing we thought of was Tang Bohu.
Our films and folklore have created a sentimental and romantic Tang Bohu for us. The story of Tang Bohu's point of Qiuxiang is well known.
But, is the real Tang Bohu like this?
Today we will get to know a real Tang Bohu together.
One, the juvenile romantic 1, the juvenile friendship
Tang Yin (March 6, 1470-January 7, 1524), the word Bohu, the small word Ziwei, the number six is like a layman.
Tang Bohu was born on the fourth day of February in the sixth year of Chenghua in the Ming Dynasty (1470). It is the lunar year of Gengyin, Ji Maoyue, and Guichou day. It is not the rumored time of Yin year and Yin month.
Tang Bohu’s father, the owner of a hotel in Wu Shifang, south of Neigao Bridge, Changmen, Suzhou, is called Tang Guangde. He doesn’t read much. His son was born in "Geng Yin" year, so he named his son Tang Yin. Tang Bohu’s younger brother was born in the twelfth year of Chenghua (1476), is the "Bingshen" year, so his younger brother is named Tang Shen.
Tang Bohu also has a younger sister, who is older than his younger brother Tang Shen, but has no birth date recorded.
's father, Tang Guangde, is good at business, popular, and the hotel business is very good. The life of the Tang family has gradually become well-off.
Before he was nine years old, Tang Bohu, besides taking care of his younger siblings, was to help in his father's hotel. He helped slaughter chickens and ducks, and was among the lower-class figures in society.
Although the living standard has improved, the merchant’s social status is low. When businessmen have money, they want to improve their social status. So when Tang Bohu was nine years old at , Tang Guangde hired him a career teacher . He hoped that his son would change his social status through the imperial examination.
is not far from Tang’s home, the home of Liu Chang, Chief Secretary of Guangdong, who participated in politics. Liu Chang died in the 16th year of Chenghua (1480). His eldest son, Liu Jiayi (ǎi), returned to his home in Suzhou from Luoyang with his mother. . Tang Bohu met Liu Jiayu at this time, and the two were like brothers. The scholars of
at the time focused on the imperial examination essays, and seldom paid attention to the ancient essays. Liu Jiayi was influenced by his father since he was a child, and he preferred literature and history. Under his influence, Tang Bohu also developed a keen interest in ancient literature and history.
Tang Bohu's love for ancient Chinese has aroused the attention of Zhu Zhishan, another talented person who also loves ancient Chinese. Zhu Zhishan (1461-1527), whose real name is Zhu Yunming, is called Zhishan because of the branching fingers (that is, six fingers) on his right hand. Zhu Zhishan heard that the eldest son of Wu Shifang Tangjia Hotel liked ancient Chinese, but he was pleased to visit him.
This year, Tang Bohu is fifteen years old, and Zhu Zhishan is twenty-four years old. Originally, the seniors visited the younger generations, but Zhu Zhishan came twice. For some reason, Tang Bohu did not see him, but after a few days, Tang Bohu wrote two poems and gave to Zhu Zhishan, so the two became Mo Ni Turn.
After befriending Zhu Zhishan, Tang Bohu entered the Suzhou scholar circle under the introduction and leadership of Zhu Zhishan. This fifteen-year-old boy gradually gained his reputation.
In the same year, Tang Bohu also met his lifelong friend Wen Zhengming. Wen Zhengming is eight months younger than Tang Bohu. He can only stand when he is seven years old, and he can only speak when he is ten years old, so his relatives and friends are not optimistic about him, but his father Wenlin said, "Here, something will happen in the future." Later facts proved that Wenlin was indeed unique insight.
These friends of Tang Bohu are attracted to each other because of their love for ancient Chinese. They believe that imperial examination essays are only a stylized test tool, and ancient poetry and essays can cultivate temperament and improve self-cultivation. In the eyes of the people at the time, this was an alternative to not doing business properly.
When he was nineteen years old, Tang Bohu married the second daughter of ordinary Xu Tingrui. Xu's temperament is gentle, dignified and generous, and good at female beauty.
2, Tang Bohu, a young and grotesque
, has a smooth life, coupled with extraordinary talents, and a lively life. He, Zhu Zhishan and others, could not understand the false Daoism of the time, so they pretended to be crazy and made many "extraordinary" behaviors.
Tang Bohu and Zhang Mengjin used to fight naked in the pool (pàn) of the Fuxue. This behavior is quite a day today in the unidentified lake of Peking University.
One year of heavy snowfall, Tang Bohu, Zhang Mengjin, and Zhu Zhishan pretended to be beggars and sang lotus drops on the street. They needed money and sprinkled them to drink in the temple. They also said:"It's a pity that Li Bai can't let Li Bai know this kind of happiness."
Tang Bohu and Zhu Zhishan also like to tease each other. One summer, Tang Bohu visited Zhuzhishan, and it happened that Zhu Zhishan was drunk. He was naked and swiftly writing. Tang Bohu asked, "Wuyi" There is no brown, how to spend the winter?" Zhu Zhishan replied: "Qi said no clothes, and the same robe with his son."
Tang Bohu, besides drinking, just likes prostitutes. Wen Zhengming is different. Although he has the same literary hobbies as Tang Bohu, he is very honest in behavior, so Tang Bohu likes to play tricks on his friend.
One day, Tang Bohu and his friends drank on the stone lake. He hid the prostitute in the boat, and then invited Wen Zhengming to drink together. The wine was half full. Tang Bohu suddenly called the prostitute out. Wen Zhengming was shocked and wanted to say goodbye. Tang Bohu asked the prostitute to hold Wen Zhengming. Wen Zhengming yelled. He wanted to dive several times, and finally bought a boat to escape.
Tang Bohu also has some evil tastes. For example, once he was out with a friend and saw a lush orchard, they wanted to steal the fruit over the wall. Tang Bohu went up first, but fell into the toilet after he overcame the wall. After crawling out, he squatted and said nothing. The friends outside waited for a long time and didn't see him coming out, so they said: "Tang Bohu eats alone, he must be full." A teenager friend said: "Let's turn in too." So he turned in first and fell into the toilet. . Tang Bohu looked at him and said, "Are you going to eat this too? Fortunately, I didn't say anything to share it with you." Then other friends came in and fell into the toilet. The friends laughed.
From these stories, we can see that Tang Bohu, as a teenager, really had a very happy life.
Portrait of Tang Bohu
Two, middle-aged great changes 1, family great changes
Tang Bohu's first life great change was the death of relatives and friends.
In the fourth year of Hongzhi (1491), Tang Bohu’s first friend, Liu Jiayu, died. Liu Jiayu was only two years older than him. At this time Liu Jiayu was only twenty-three years old. To mourn his friend, Tang Bohu worked hard to collect Liu Jiayu’s poems and compile them. "Liu Jiayi's Posthumous Manuscript".
Three or four years later, Tang Bohu's parents and wife died one after another, and her younger sister also committed suicide at her husband's house. All this happened before Tang Bohu was twenty-five years old. In a letter written by
to his friend Wen Zhengming, Tang Bohu said: "Unfortunately, I am sorrowful, looking for my parents and wives, but they disappeared."
The entire Tang family, only he and his brother Tang Shen, this pair For Tang Bohu, it was undoubtedly a huge blow.
Tang Bohu has been inactive since he was studying. After his father died, the hotel was left unattended. The savings in the family were gradually depleted and life became increasingly difficult. Tang Bohu had to write an epitaph for someone to earn living expenses.
2, high school Jieyuan
After his parents died, Tang Bohu became very depressed and his life became more indulgent. My friend Zhu Zhishan didn't want to see him continue to be depressed, and wrote a letter to enlighten Tang Bohu and persuade him to participate in the imperial examination.
Although they don't like the imperial examination essays, Zhu Zhishan said that talents must be displayed to be convincing, and their ambitions must be achieved through certain channels, and only through the imperial examination can they be recognized by others.
With Zhu Zhishan's consolation, Tang Bohu remembered his father's expectations of him, so he decided to spend a year preparing for the imperial examination.
When Tang Bohu was fifteen years old, he got the first place in the Suzhou Provincial Examination, and entered the government school. At this time, Tang Bohu had to prepare for the provincial examination. The imperial examinations of the Ming and Qing Dynasties were divided into three levels: the provincial examination, the general examination, and the palace examination.
However, Tang Bohu encountered difficulties in the scientific expedition before the provincial examination. Because of the large number of people participating in the township examination, the Ming Dynasty began in the ninth year of orthodoxy (1444) and required that students must pass the scientific examinations presided over by the school-promoting officer and have excellent results in order to qualify for the township examination.
And Tang Bohu's academic officer during the scientific examination was a local chronicle. This person is not interested in ancient literature, and even thinks it is useless, so he rejects students who admire ancient literature very much, and at the same time he values virtue. Tang Bohu admired ancient prose and indulged in behavior. Naturally, he was not in the eyes of local chroniclers. Local chroniclers even criticized the behavior of Tang Bohu and others in public.
Sure enough, Tang Bohu was placed inferior and lost his qualifications for the provincial examination. Tang Bohu was anxious, he hurried to find Wen Zhengming's father Wen Lin, and begged him to find a way. After Wen Lin learned of it, he comforted Tang Yin and immediately went to the prefect of Suzhou Cao Feng. Wenlin explained his intentions to Cao Feng and gave Cao Tang Bohu's articleLooking at Feng, Cao Feng admired him a lot, saying that Tang Bohu was "a fish with a burning tail in the dragon gate, which will soon be gone". With the strong recommendation of Cao Feng, Tang Bohu was qualified to participate in the rural examination in the record of his legacy.
In the middle of July in the 11th year of Hongzhi (1498), Tang Bohu invited friends Wen Zhengming, Xu Zhenqing, Qian Gui and others to go to Nanjing to participate in the rural examination. The 28-year-old Tang Bohu embarked on the road of imperial examination for the first time. The
township test is divided into three sessions: the first session is on August 8th, and the "Four Books" is tested on the three principles; the second session is on August 12th, with one discussion, one decree selected as one, and five sentences; third; On August 15th, I will try the five principles of historical affairs and policy. To Tang Bohu's happiness, the questions in this exam were not remote. After the exam,
is waiting for the list to be released. In the days waiting for the list to be released, the time place by the Qinhuai River in Nanjing is indispensable for the romantic imprints of the romantic talent Tang Bohu. The day when
is on the list is coming. On the list, there are a total of 135 people in the list, and the top of the list is Tang Bohu, who is a high school solution for . The money that came with it was expensive, and it was also hit by Juren.
Tang Bohu studied hard for a year, and for the first time he took part in the national examination, he learned about Yuan. This is what many scholars dream of. Wen Zhengming and Xu Zhenqing, both of the "Four Talents in Wuzhong", both failed this time. After
high school resolved the Yuan Dynasty, Tang Bohu was very energetic. At the banquet hosted by the examiners Liang Chu and Liu Ji, he wrote the famous "Golden Powder Fu Di Fu". When
returned to Suzhou, the prefect of Suzhou hosted a banquet to celebrate the jury in the township examination.
But on the other hand, his friend Wen Zhengming was extremely depressed. He wrote to his father Wenlin about the exam. Wenlin knew that Wen Zhengming was introverted and likes to blame himself, so he immediately replied to comfort Wen Zhengming and said: "Z9z Ziwei is the only person who should be solved, but he is frivolous, and I am afraid that he will not succeed. My son will be far away in the future. As much as possible." has to say, Wenlin's vision is very accurate. He sees Tang Bohu's strengths and weaknesses very clearly. The four sentences of "fear that nothing will succeed" have become Tang Bohu's life predictions. .

in the examination room After a while, Tang Bohu became worried because he didn't have the money to go to Beijing to participate in the second year's test.
Although all the travel expenses to Beijing to participate in the test are provided by the government, and the post stations along the way provide carriages and horses, Tang Bohu cannot afford the accommodation and entertainment expenses after arriving in Beijing. This is the consequence of his years of neglecting the industry.
Fortunately, a rich boy extended a helping hand to him. Xu Jing, a rich family in Jiangyin, also wanted to go to Beijing to participate in the ceremony of the Ministry of ceremonies, so he invited Tang Bohu to go to Beijing with him. After arriving in Beijing, Xu Jing found an inn close to the Gongyuan. Because of the high price, there are few guests and the environment is quiet. , Very suitable for exam preparation. After
arrived in Beijing, Tang Bohu paid a courtesy visit to the examiner at the local examination. Firstly, he did his best to teach students and teachers, and secondly, he also wanted to inquire about the examiner in the examination to increase his chances of passing the exam.
At that time, King Annan passed away and Emperor Hongzhi sent Liang Chu to Annan to be his heir. Tang Bohu attended the farewell banquet, and there was also Cheng Minzheng, the ceremonial department responsible for teaching the crown prince. At the banquet, everyone wrote a poem for Liang Chu to see off. After the banquet, Tang Bohu asked Cheng Minzheng to write a preface to the poem they wrote.
On the sixth day of February in the twelfth year of Hongzhi (1499), Emperor Hongzhi ordered Li Dongyang, the official book of the Ministry of Rites, and Cheng Min, the minister of Liyou, to serve as the examiners for this test. The
test is the same as the township test, with three sessions, the first session on the 9th day, the second session on the 12th, and the third session on the 15th. After the end of the third exam, after more than ten days of correction, the names of the admitted candidates were finally hung at the gate of the Ministry of Rites, and the exam ended successfully.
However, just as the examiner was nearing the end of the examination and drafting the list, an incident that changed the fate of Cheng Minzheng, Xu Jing and Tang Bohu broke out.
On February 27th, Hu Ke gave the matter to Zhonghua 㫤 (chǎng), and reported to the examiner to get bribes and leak questions. Before the start of the first session of the
test, the "Analects of Confucius" questions have been circulated. Before the second session, the questions were leaked out. Before the third session, the third and fourth questions were leaked out. These topics were all leaked by Cheng Minzheng to Xu Jing, and Xu Jing leaked Tang Bohu again, because Tang Bohu was unobstructed and might be heard by others, and finally reached Hua Yu's ears.
After receiving the memorial report, Hongzhi ordered the Ministry of Ritual to investigate the memorial because it involved imperial court officials.The official, the Ministry of Rites was very cautious, saying that Hua 㫤 must have heard something before there was a report. However, the rumor may not be true. It is recommended that the Juren whom Cheng Minzheng fancy should be remarked and the release date should be postponed to March 3. The second day of the month. After the
incident, Tang Bohu and others were not arrested immediately, but on the seventh day of March, Hongzhi decreed that Tang Bohu, Xu Jing and the whistleblower Hua Yu were sent to prison.
Why was the reported Hua Yu been arrested, but Cheng Minzheng was not sent to prison? This is because Cheng Minzheng was the teacher of Emperor Hongzhi when he was the prince, and now he is the teacher of his own son. Emperor Hongzhi obviously favored Cheng Minzheng and set a false report.
During the interrogation of the Zhenfu Secretary, Xu Jing insisted that Hua Yu was framed, but when the court was interrogated, he suddenly reversed his confession, saying that Cheng Minzheng had indeed collected his gold coins. Lin Tingyu, one of the examiners of the test, also said in a memorial that the report by Hua Yu was not groundless, and alluded to Emperor Hongzhi for protecting Cheng Minzheng. As a result, Lin Tingyu was also arrested. After more than ten days of consideration, Emperor Hongzhi finally gave up his protection of Cheng Minzheng and ordered the arrest of Cheng Minzheng on April 22. After Cheng Minzheng was arrested, Xu Jing's confession changed again, saying that he gave Cheng Minzheng gold coins to study from him. The final verdict of
in this court case was that “the ransoms of Minzheng, Jing, Yin, etc.” means that the personnel involved paid money to redeem the crime.
summed up this court case. Xu Jing sent gold coins to Cheng Minzheng and inquired about some of the questions. Then Tang Bohu and Xu Jing made an article, but they were heard by others. Tang Bohu said in "Yuwenzheng Mingshu": "The eyes are on the side, but the servants don't know it." The betrayer of Tang Bohu was probably a friend of his. The penalties of
in this court case were not serious in reality, but they undoubtedly had a great influence on the reputation of the three of Cheng Xutang. Cheng Minzheng died of carbuncle after he was released from prison. Tang Bohu was rebel and served as an official. Although he still ate the emperor's food, his status was low and he was not allowed to take the test. By the way, Wang Yangming also participated in this test. He named Nangong the second person and bestowed the seventh person to the Second Jia Jinshi.
Wu Kuan, an official from Wu District who was in Beijing at the time, has been paying attention to Tang Bohu’s experience. After Tang Bohu’s sentence was issued, Wu Kuan used his own relationship to send Tang Bohu as the chief official of Zhejiang, and wrote to local officials requesting care. Tang Bohu, but Tang Bohu did not want to be an official, and instead of taking office, he returned home.

III. Later years of disillusionment 1, Liuru layman
After the court case, all of Tang Bohu's scenery is gone forever.
When he returned home, it was completely different from the situation when he returned home after the rural examination. This time, he returned home with shame.
Tang Bohu said in a letter to Wen Zhengming: “Z9z child slaves have been involved in the case, and the husband and wife have turned against each other. There are old squalid dogs. Things.”
was injured alone, and his home was the last safe haven, but when he returned home, even his wife was reluctant to look at him. Tang Bohu's second wife didn't know when she married, but after this court case, Tang Bohu divorced her.
In order to redeem his followers, Tang Bohu spent all his family savings. When he returned home, he was already a disciple. He divorced his wife and was a bachelor. But his brother had not yet separated from him. His nephew was only three years old. He was worried about the livelihood of the family.
Tang Bohu can only sell literature and paintings to survive, but because of the taint of life in the court case, few people come to seek paintings and literature. At the most difficult moment in this life, he had to ask Wen Zhengming, a close friend who had always supported him to care about him, for help, so he wrote a bloody and tearful letter of help from Wen Zhengming.
In this letter of help, Tang Bohu said: "But my brother is weak and does not have any uncles. He has no food and clothing, and he must be a runaway." Hope Wen Zhengming "donate food for dogs and horses to keep Tang's family Sacrifice".
With the help of friends such as Wen Zhengming, Zhu Yunming, Shen Zhou, Tang Bohu's life gradually improved, and his calligraphy and painting business gradually improved.
In addition to painting and calligraphy, Tang Bohu drank and read books to live his day. One day, Tang Bohu read the "Diamond Sutra" said: "Z9z all action is like a dream bubble. If dew is like electricity, you should observe it like this." Tang Bohu Suddenly thought, isn't this a portrayal of his life? He was once a senior in high school, the scenery is boundless, the envy of the world's scholars, and now he has dispersed, and is cast aside by the world. As a result, Tang Bohu called himself "Liu Ru Lian Shi".
Portrait of Tang Bohu
2. The painting and calligraphy business of Taohua'an song
has improved. Tang Bohu has lived a life of drunkenness and wine. Unlike the romantic life of his youth, he is now more like self-exile.
experienced the ups and downs of life, Tang Bohu repeatedly thought about the meaning of life, but there was only one result of thinking, and that was to stay in the present enjoyment.
He said: "Although the husband of is not famous, he must be generous, why is he imitating Chu prisoners? " Since he cannot be a model for others to imitate and respect, he will become an alternative in the eyes of others. Tang Bohu also engraved himself with a free chapter: " Jiangnan No. 1 Talented Scholar."
Tang Bohu, who is unconventional, gradually disregarded his family, his brother Tang Sheng, can no longer bear his absurd behavior, share with him Home.
Tang Bohu's behavior is something that even his best friend Wen Zhengming can't stand. He wrote to Tang Bohu, saying that he was acting strangely and slavishly. The letter touched Tang Bohu's sensitive heart, and he immediately replied to the letter "Answers to Wenzheng Ming".
In the letter, Tang Bohu dismissed Wen Zhengming's advice and said that has always been like this for 20 years. If you don't care about it, don't be friends.
As a result, Wen Zhengming did not really break up with Tang Bohu. It can be said that it was the fortune of Tang Bohu's life to get Wen Zhengming to be a friend.
Since separating from his younger brother Tang Shen, Tang Bohu has been reluctant to return to the former residence of Gaoqiao. He sometimes lives in the temple and sometimes goes to friends’ houses to enjoy the autumn breeze. But wandering around like this is not a long-term solution, so I plan to build a home of my own.
Tang Bohu fancyed Taohuawu near the Shuanghe Pond in Liaojia Alley, northwest of Gaoqiao. It was originally part of the villa built by Zhang Zhifu in the Northern Song Dynasty. Because of the many peaches and plums, it became a good place for locals to enjoy the flowers in spring. In the Ming Dynasty, it had become a vegetable field and garden.
In March of the eighteenth year of Hongzhi (1505), Tang Bohu was thirty-six years old. He saw the scenery of Taohuawu, but he had imagined his new home, and he wrote "The Song of Taohua Temple."
Taohuawu in Taohua Temple, Taohua Temple in Taohua Fairy.
Peach Blossom Fairy grows peach trees and picks peach blossoms for wine.
only come to sit in front of the flowers when awake, and come to sleep when drunk.
Half awake and half drunk day after day, flowers blooming year after year.
I hope I am old and dead, and I don't want to bow before the chariot.
Chess and horses are fun for the noble ones, and the wine is for the poor and the humble.
If the rich are better than the poor, one is on the ground and the other is in the sky.
If flowers and wine are better than carts and horses, he has to drive me free.
Others laugh at me too crazy, I laugh at others and can't see through.
There is no tomb of the Five Tombs heroes. The poem
is Tang Bohu's representative work. A spiritual home is created in the poem. Here, he doesn't care about fame and wealth in the world, or right and wrong. He just wants to be a free and easy peach blossom fairy.
However, poems are easy to write, but houses are not easy to build because they need money.
In order to build a house, Tang Bohu had to sell literature and pictures to raise money, and borrowed some from friends. In the first year of Zhengde (1506), the Taohua Temple was built. In the spring of Zhengde's second year, the Taohua Temple next to the Shuanghe Pond was initially completed. Since then, Mengmo Pavilion, Xuepu Hall, Laoge Zhai, and Die Zhai have been added. Completed in three years.
3, Ning Wanglai hire
Tang Bohu said in "Peach Blossom Temple": "Others laugh at me too crazy, I laugh at others and can't see through."
But did he really see through?
is obviously not.
Tang Bohu's madness is just a helpless pretence when he is frustrated in life. In fact, as long as he has a chance, he still hopes to make a difference.
No, the opportunity is here.
In the summer of the ninth year of Zhengde (1514), Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, who was far away in Nanchang, Jiangxi, sent a lot of money and hired Tang Bohu. Z10z
Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, has always had the ambition of being a wolf. He restored the abolished guards and established Yangchun Academy to recruit the world's wise men and create public opinion for his future. Z1z
and Tang Bohu received the letter of appointment from Wu Zhongwen and Wen Zhengming, Xie Shichen, Zhang Wen and others. In addition to Wen Zhengming, they all accepted the letter of appointment from King Ning. Regarding why he didn’t accept King Ning’s letter of appointment, Wen Zhengming said: “How can you do something like this, and you can be the servant of the feudal clan for a long time?” This means that someone who can be a feudal king with peace of mind is something like King Ning. . Apparently, Wen ZhengmingInheriting his father Wenlin's knowledge of people, he saw King Ning's wolf ambition at a glance.
Tang Bohu hesitated, but he finally accepted the offer.
After Tang Bohu arrived at King Ning's shogunate, King Ning "has been in a separate hall and treated him very generously." In addition to talking to King Ning about poetry and painting, Tang Bohu participated in some entertainment and tours. In King Ning's mansion, Tang Bohu gradually realized King Ning's wolf ambition. Zhu Chenhao, King of Ning, on the one hand recruited celebrities from all over the world and assumed the posture of a courteous corporal; on the other hand, he recruited soldiers and bought horses, hoarding food and grass, in preparation for the future rise of troops. These Tang Bohu looked in his eyes and was shocked in his heart. Once King Ning raised his troops, Tang Bohu, as an aide, would inevitably be decapitated.
So Tang Bohu had to try to escape safely from King Ning’s shogunate. There are currently different opinions about how Tang Bohu got away. Wang Shizhen said that after Tang Bohu saw King Ning’s rebellious intentions, he pretended to be crazy, and whenever King Ning sent envoys to look for him. He, he "indulges in drinking and scolding," and even exposed his privately nakedly. King Ning thought he was really crazy, so he let him go.
I don’t think King Ning would fail to see if Tang Bohu was pretending to be crazy, but Tang Bohu was not important to him, so he let him go.
In the middle of March of the tenth year of Zhengde (1515), Tang Bohu returned to Taohuawu. After came back, Tang Bohu rested for a while before he came back to his senses. At this time, he thought of his friend Wen Zhengming again. He received the appointment letter from King Ning like himself, but he had the foresight and refused to be hired. After this incident, Tang Bohu was completely convinced by Wen Zhengming.
Wen Zhengming failed nine times in his life in the township examination, and he understood Yuan in the first township examination. Although Wen Zhengming failed the test, his ethics and behavior are the most important in the world, but he was left in the examination. The stains of life that are difficult to clean. Both
received the appointment letter from King Ning at the same time, but Wen Zhengming's knowledge of people saved him from harm, and Tang Bohu has another stain in his life, and it may bring death in the future.
So, Tang Bohu wrote a "Letter of Review" to Wen Zhengming, "A Letter to Wen Zhengming". In the letter, Wen Zhengming said that “although everything has changed before, there are unmovable ones.” Although Wen Zhengming is eight months younger than himself, he would like to worship Wen Zhengming as his teacher and said: "Fei Cifu (Serve) Also, Gai Xinfu (serving) also.”
Portrait of Wen Zhengming
In this letter, we can see Tang Bohu’s true temperament. From "Yu Wen Zheng Ming Shu" to Wen Zhengming for help, to "An Wen Zheng Ming Shu" to cut off relations with Wen Zhengming, and then to "Wen Zheng Ming Shu" to worship Wen Zhengming, the deep friendship between the two of them makes people Moving.
In the fourteenth year of Zhengde (1519), shortly after Tang Bohu's 50th birthday, Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao rebelled. This worries Tang Bohu's heart. He doesn't know whether the imperial court will count the accounts after the fall. He shut himself in Taohua Temple, fearing that others would treat him as an accomplice of King Ning, he even wrote himself a "Hundred Ninja Song" and read it repeatedly.
King Ning’s rebellion was put down by Wang Yangming in only forty-three days, and Zhu Chenhao was also captured alive by Wang Yangming. Fortunately, Tang Bohu was not held accountable by the court because he left early.
4, bleak death
Regarding Tang Bohu’s love, Luo Yuming said in "The Elegy of Indulgence": " Tang Yin's stray behavior contains great pain and helplessness, as well as an attitude of contempt for social ruling power... Tang Yin’s behavior is the result of a man of extremely talented and sincere enthusiasm being oppressed by a deformed society.” As a teenager, Tang Bohu was dissatisfied with false Daoism, so he deliberately resisted with absurd and weird behavior. In his middle age, Tang Bohu experienced an imperial court case and his life fell to the bottom. He couldn't find a way out and could only use alcohol to numb his spirit. In his later years, he became an anti-thief assistant again. In life, he was in a state of fright, and he could only release his inner fear by indulging in sensuality.
was about forty-five years old. Tang Bohu married his third wife, probably because he wanted to continue the Tang family incense, but only gave birth to one daughter, who later married Wang Chong's son. When
was in his fifties, Tang Bohu also dreamed that he would enter the imperial examination room again, and after waking up, he wrote a poem to express his mood in his later years:
has been in the imperial township for more than twenty years, and the night comes and dreams of leaving the examination room. Z1z
The chickens and insects are particularly palpitating, and the pen and inkstone have been lost.
has no three products in self-categorization, if it is empty, get busy.
The sound of the bell broke the scene of Handan, still half the bed was illuminated by the light.
Twenty years later, dreaming of the examination hall, will still "The heart is particularly palpitating.” It can be seen how much psychological shadow was caused to Tang Bohu by the scientific expedition that year.
In his later years, Tang Bohu was suffering from illness. He said, “I have been suffering from lung disease recently”, probably because of lung disease.
Jiajing 2nd year (1524) 10 On the second day of February, Tang Bohu died of poverty and sickness with a lifetime of regrets. At the last node of his life, Tang Bohu wrote a desperate poem:
is born in the world and ends, so what does it matter if you die in the underworld.
阳间The locals are all similar, only when drifting in a foreign land.
A cynical and frustrated Tang Bohu died, and another romantic and passionate Tang Bohu lived in the folks. Five hundred years later, everyone knows that Tang Bohu’s Qiuxiang order, but how many people know it. , Tang Bohu was looked down upon by his wife, and was also looked down upon by the people at the time.
