Why did Wang Bo sigh that "Feng Tang is old, Li Guang is difficult to seal"?

Wang Bo, zi'an, comes from a cultural family. At the age of six, he knew how to compose, his ideas were not stagnant, and his words were heroic. At the age of nine, he was able to pick out a bunch of errors in Yan Shigu's annotated Book of Han, and wrote ten volumes of Finger Flaws. At the age of fourteen, he wrote the "Book of The Right Phase of Shang Liu" to liu xiangdao, the chancellor, and Liu Zaixiang recommended him to the imperial court. Wang Bo took the exam and scored with excellent results. Before the age of twenty, he was awarded the post of Asasaburō.

The beginning is the peak, and then Wang Bo is going downhill. Li Xian( the Prince of Pei ) summoned him to the palace to do a cultivator. At that time, when the royal palaces gathered, they always had fun fighting cocks. This Day King Pei's chicken will face the chickens of the English King Li Xian(i.e., Emperor Zhongzong of Tang). I don't know whether Wang Bo wants to help or to be able to do it, and wrote a "King Chicken of Ying Ying" in a joking tone. With a wave of it, the literary color flew and quickly spread throughout the city.

The two princes fighting cocks and running dogs were originally playing, and when they were not in a hurry to play, they might be fine after a while. However, Wang Bo wrote this article as a "war book" to incite the wind and ignite the fire. What "two males cannot stand side by side" and what "those who see dissidents will attack and compete with the same kind." "What do you mean?" This is to say that a mountain cannot tolerate two tigers - obviously provoking trouble! The article soon reached Tang Gaozong (Wu Zetian's husband), and the emperor was simply blown up! The scene of his father Xuanwumen killing his brother and plotting to seize the throne is vividly remembered. When he ascended to the throne, he also went through a cruel brother-in-law struggle! Wang Bo, you are really a royal churning stick, how dare you alienate the prince! "Isn't this the beginning of provoking a dispute among kings?" "Wang Bo was kicked out of the Beijing literary and art circles when he was 18 years old. It's too hard to mess around!

Don't you know that this life of high and low has just begun? Under the care of his friends, Wang Bo became a petty official in Yuzhou. Within a few days, an official slave sneaked out. Wang Bo had a kind eye for a moment, so he hid this person. When his mind turned, he thought carefully, "No, it is a capital crime to hide official slaves!" Report it to the authorities, not either. That would confirm the crime of tibetan slavery. How can this be good? Wang Bo's choice was to kill people and kill people.

After the incident, Wang Bo was sentenced to be beheaded after the autumn. This time luck took care of him once: he did not wait for the knife to catch up with Tang Gaozong's amnesty. Wang Bo was sentenced from "after the autumn" to "three years in prison", which was considered to be a life. However, his father was relegated to Jiaotong County outside the southern wilderness as a county order because of his involvement. A year after his release from prison, the imperial court felt that it was a pity that Wang Bo's talent had been buried, and decided to reinstate him. "People make a fortune as officials, and they have to die as officials", Wang Bo was frightened, he did not want to be an official, but went south to find his father.

In the second year of the First Yuan Dynasty (Emperor Gaozong of Tang, 675), Wang Bo passed through Nanchang and was just in time for the completion of the newly built Tengwang Pavilion. On the day of chongyang festival, Yan Dudu (Yan Boyu) invited guests. Wang Bo went to see him, and the master had already heard that Wang Bowen was outstanding and invited him to the table.

Yan Dudu threw a feast in order to take advantage of this grand event to boast about the talents of his son-in-law Meng Xueshi. Meng Xueshi prepared a preface praising the Tengwang Pavilion in advance, ready to be improvised for everyone to see during the banquet, and then the guests sang a poem and sang a poem, which was expected to receive countless praises and show their faces.

After all the guests sat down, Yan Dudu spoke: "Festivals, grand events, good birthdays, distinguished guests, four beautiful together." There is a high talent who is willing to record this rare moment in beautiful writing! ”

According to the script, at this time, everyone should have pushed that they were only shallow and shallow, did not dare to sacrifice ugliness, and pushed out Yan Dudu's son-in-law to show off the text. Unexpectedly, Wang Bocai bowed his hand and said, "The little man is not talented, and is willing to sacrifice ugliness, so as to thank the lord for his hospitality and teach it to the Fang family." The five thunderous Yan Du Governors had already spoken, so they had to graciously invite: "Please ask Wang Caizi to give wen." ”

The next scene should be like this: Wang Bo put the wine on the bar, looking at the beautiful scenery outside the building, the beautiful words flowed out casually, and there were literary officials recorded on the paper and transmitted to the cabinet. The opening chapter is "Yuzhang Old County, Hongdu New Province." The stars are divided into wings and the ground is connected to the Henglu. When it came in, the crowd commented: "But it is ordinary"; "Wuhua Tianbao, the ruins of the Dragon Light Shooting Bull Fighting; the Spirit of The People, the Bed of Chen Fan under Xu Wei" came in, and everyone thought that "the use of the classic is exquisite!" When the next person handed over "The sunset and the lone bird fly together, and the autumn water is long and the sky is colorful", the whole hall was shocked, thinking that it was a god sentence!

Next, "the fishing boat sings late, ringing the shore of the poor PengLi; the geese are frightened, and the sound is broken in the pool of Hengyang." "It is difficult to cross the mountain, who is sad about the person who has lost his way?" Pingshui meets, all are guests of other places. "Bad luck and bad luck." Feng Tang is old, Li Guang is difficult to seal. "When old and strong, it is better to move the heart of the white head; poor and strong, not to fall into the ambition of the clouds"... The golden sentences are continuous. Yan Dudu was overjoyed--my son-in-law and I would be passed down through the ages! Wen cheng was exhausted, Wang Bo bid farewell to his master, and Yan Dudu gave him a hundred fine silks.

Wang Bo continued south by boat and met his father. On the way back, he drowned at sea and died of fear. He was twenty-eight years old (according to the Old Book of Tang).

Wang Bowen's name is very large, and many people have asked him to write articles, and the home of the gold and silver silk that rewards him is full. It is said that when he writes, he always studies several liters of ink first, then drinks freely, pulls on the quilt and sleeps with his head covered, wakes up, writes a chapter, and does not change a word.

Wang Bo has some words passed down through the generations, but he was arrogant and arrogant, did things that were poisonous, and had no friends. He once met a peculiar man, who was a fortune teller for Wang Bo, who said: "You are strong in spirit but weak in bone, clear in temperament but thin in body, with sunken brain bones and defective eyes." Flowering without fruit, will not eventually soar. "Is Wang Bo's early death a fate?"

The history of Wang Bo's deeds is not detailed, but it is mostly found in foreign histories, in which the description is inevitably exaggerated. There are also various theories about the date of his cause of death. However, the "Preface to the Tengwang Pavilion" is indeed a famous passage throughout the ages; Wang Bo's good story of the "Preface to the Tengwang Pavilion" given to the feast of Yan Dudu is also worthy of the most moving story in the history of Chinese literature.
