The young Wen Zhengming was physically weak and slightly dull, and "the language of the eighth and ninth years old was still not very good."
Under the arrangement of his father Wen Lin, Wen Zhengming studied ancient Chinese from Wu Kuan. Wu Kuan was the first person to pass the examination and the court examination in the eighth year of Chenghua (that is, in 1472 AD), that is, the champion. As the father of the tongke jinshi, Wen Lin, let Wen Zhengming worship Wu Kuan as a teacher, hoping that he could make a difference in the field. However, Wen Zhengming took no less than ten imperial examinations before and after, and all of them failed.
In stark contrast to him, tang yin, a good friend born in the same year, won on the field of science. At the age of 16, Tang Yin took the first place in the boy test, and xie yuan in the first place in the high school township examination at the age of 29. However, Wen Zhengming was still defeated in the township test until he was 53 years old.
It is conceivable that the failure of the imperial examination seriously hit Wen Zhengming's self-confidence, and also made him understand the principle of hard work and clumsiness very early. While Tang Bohu, Zhu Zhishan, Zhang Ling and a group of other buddies were looking for fun in Suzhou, Wen Zhengming was reading and learning at home. It was this kind of stoic ascetic strength that finally forged the life of Wen Zhengming that was unique in the Ariake generation, virtue, art, and Shou Sanxin.
Of course, the most important thing is that Wen Zhengming has a father who loves him and knows him. When others thought he was mentally retarded, his father disagreed, "The child is fortunate to be late in life, harmless." When his companion Tang Yin, the township test high school Xie Yuan, but he lost again, his father wrote to comfort him:
"It is advisable to understand the fear of the child, but its people are frivolous, and I am afraid that it will not be successful in the end, and it will be far away from the day."
Everything was unfortunately said by Wen Lin, in the next Beijing test, Tang Yin was involved in the fraud case of the science field, and returned to his hometown in disgrace, and his fate fell to the bottom from then on. Although Wen Zhengming did not succeed in the examination, after hard work, he became the main general and standard-bearer of the Wumen School. Therefore, Wen Lin said, "Wu'er, it is far away, and it is beyond reach." "It's a proverb.
Of course, as a father, Wen Lin, one of the most important correct measures in his life was to take him to the Suzhou painting leader Shen Zhou as a teacher. As a result, Wen Zhengming became a student of Shen Zhou at the age of 26.
A child with mediocre talent, through the diligent study and hard work of the day after tomorrow, finally grew into a great artist. However, in addition to wen Zhengming's strong willpower that is innate or cultivated by the day after tomorrow, he also has a father who is insightful and understanding. So the story is inspiring enough, but the miracle is difficult to reproduce.
