In "Dream of the Red Chamber", the author, through jia Yucun's mouth, said that there is a category of people: "His clever, handsome, and beautiful spirit is above ten thousand people; his obedient, evil, and inhuman attitude is below ten thousand people." If you are born in the family of a rich and noble prince, you are a kind of love and infatuation; if you are born in a poor family of poetry and books, you are a Yishigao person" is accidental misfortune, born in the "Bo Zuo Han Gate", and will certainly be an excellent and famous person, and will not be obscure. In the case of examples, the author mentions one person, Tang Bohu.
Jia Yu's village is like a hanging river, in fact, the type of people he is talking about can be simply understood as: genius. The so-called "genius" is a person who looks different because he is hit by God's gift. Geniuses are divided into two categories, one is the worldly genius, and the other is the unworldly genius. This worldly genius is probably the kind of Mr. Wang Shouren, who can raise his pen to settle the world, and Wu can immediately settle down. A lifetime of virtue, meritorious service, and speech, benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, and wisdom are all available. Some people will think that it is Jia Baoyu, but Jia Baoyu is only a fictional character, even if there is "talent", it is also some "crooked talent". The truly flesh-and-blood unworldly genius should be the Tang Bohu mentioned above.
Tang Bohu's real name is Tang Yin, the word "Bohu" and the word "Zi Wei", the self-titled "Liu RuJushi", and the taste of self-proclaimed "Lumen Tangsheng". He was born in the sixth year of Chenghua in the Ming Dynasty (1470 AD), a native of Suzhou, Jiangsu Province. As we all know, Tang Bohu was a famous painter, calligrapher and poet of the Ming Dynasty. He showed great literary talent at an early age, and his father's solid family background in business also gave him a good opportunity to receive an education.
In the twenty-first year of Chenghua (1485), Tang Bohu, who was only 15 years old, won the first place in the township examination (Xie Yuan). At the beginning, I completed the path that many readers want to take in their lives, and for a while I was famous as Mangu Su. The future of this young talent seemed bright.
The turning point occurred around the seventh year of Koji (1494). In this year, Tang Bohu's father died. In the short two years that followed, Tang Bohu's mother, sister, wife, and children died one after another. Under the continuous blows of illness and death, the Tang family began to decline. The 26-year-old Tang Bohu seems to have lost the whole world, only to gain white hair on the sideburns.
Tang Bohu's friends could not bear to see him decadent, so they persuaded him to participate in the imperial examination and use his talents to shine on the lintel. In the twelfth year of Hongzhi (1499), Tang Bohu went to take the imperial examination. His talent was recognized at the time, but during the preparation period, Tang Bohu slept in the willow, wandered into the skeleton, and his attitude was very arrogant, which aroused the disgust of the candidates and even the main examiner.
In this examination, Tang Bohu handed in a nearly perfect answer sheet. But unfortunately, a candidate with a good relationship with him, Xu Jing, was caught for cheating, and Tang Bohu was not welcomed by everyone, so he was also inexplicably accused of cheating, not only was his test results invalidated, but he was also imprisoned. Later, it was found that Tang Bohu's cheating was unsubstantiated, so he was released, but instead of restoring his name, he was demoted to a minor official of Zhejiang Province. This also means that Tang Bohu will forever lose his qualification for the imperial examination.
The road to keju is broken, which is almost the end of the ancient readers. After all, Tang Bohu did not become that little official, but began to sell paintings for a living.
Later, Zhu Chenhao, the King of Ning, threw an olive branch to Tang Bohu, hoping that he would serve as an aide to the ning king's mansion. Tang Bohu, who was trapped, needed to be affirmed and rescued, and he put aside the arrogance of the literati and came to the Palace of King Ning, but it turned out that King Ning was plotting a rebellion. Maybe he didn't dare to take this risk, maybe he didn't want to be this chaotic thief, anyway, he wanted to escape. But how could he escape? I can't always tell King Ning, "I found your plan, I don't want to do it with you"
For ordinary people, getting on a thief's boat and riding a tiger is a very depressing thing, but this is not difficult for Tang Bohu. He began to pretend to be crazy and stupid, and even disregarded his dignity, stripped off his clothes, and brawled naked, finally making King Ning believe that he was a madman. King Ning would not spare Tang Bohu, but he would not take in a madman. In the end, Tang Bohu was expelled from the Ning Dynasty.
Fleeing the Ning Palace became the last time Tang Bohu fought for himself. Since then, he has lived a completely secluded life of selling paintings and planting flowers, with a woman who is willing to suffer with him until his death. "Peach Blossom In peach blossom wood, peach blossom fairy under peach blossom temple; peach blossom fairy plant peach trees, and pick peach blossoms to sell wine money." A "Peach Blossom Anthem" became a portrayal of Tang Bohu's heart in his later years. Although this poem still shows the wild and uninhibited heroism everywhere, the words also reveal Tang Bohu's helplessness and loss of life.
Of course, Tang Bohu was inferior to Wang Yangming, at least he did not let people see his ability to govern the country and the people, nor did he let people see his great wisdom. Some people say that Tang Bohu's tragedy is because he is arrogant and does not know how to restrain. Maybe so, everything is insightful and learned, and human emotions are articles. In the way of dealing with the world, it took a long time for this talented teenager to barely get a passing score. But who isn't? Who would know all the rules and principles of the world from the outset? At the moment when he stripped off his clothes and came out of the Ning King's Mansion, this amazingly talented man must have understood that talent and talent were not necessarily something worth boasting about.
Mencius's most quoted words are that "the heavens will descend on the great task, so people must first suffer their hearts, strain their bones, starve their bodies, and empty their bodies..." But the fact of Tang Bohu tells us that sometimes after all this, you still will not usher in the so-called "big responsibility", it may not be that you are not good enough, but the "big responsibility" in the world is numbered, since there are already people to support the world, then there are people who secretly vote. You have just been worn away by suffering, smoothed out all the edges and corners, written too many inscriptions, experienced the most life and death, and then said - the world laughs at me for being too crazy, I laugh at the world can't see through it. There is no tomb of Wuling Haojie, no flowers and no wine hoes for the field.
