The Tang Dynasty was a period when Chinese literature reached its peak, and it can be said that talented poets were everywhere. And Wang Bo is the crown of the "Four Masters of the Early Tang Dynasty", he died young, and there are not many works that have been handed down. However, they are all classics in the classics, such as the song "Du Shaofu's Ren Shuzhou" in which "the sea is a confidant, and the end of the world is like a neighbor." "It has long been a famous sentence for thousands of years. Of course, in the eyes of many people, Wang Bo's "masterpiece" is still his "Preface to the Tengwang Pavilion".
In the second year of the Tang Dynasty (675 AD), during the Chongyang Festival, Wang Bo came to Hongzhou in Nanchang, just in time for Yan Boyu to hold a grand banquet on the shore of Poyang Lake. And invited celebrities from all walks of life to the pavilion to do gifts to express Yaxing. At the beginning of the banquet, Yan Boyu invited the big celebrities in the audience to write poems one by one. After the big names had finished writing, a young man dressed in shabby clothes stepped forward.
This young man was None other than Wang Bo, who said that he was willing to write an essay to win everyone's laughter. Yan Boyu did not know who the young man in front of him was, and when he inquired about it, he learned that this person's name was Wang Bo, who had passed through Nanchang because of his family visit. So Yan Boyu thought that this young man was anxious to express himself and did not have any literary talent, but since Wang Bo proposed it, it was not easy to refuse, and he could only nod his head in agreement.
Yan Boyu sat on the rostrum and watched what Wang Bo could write, and the note was very express: "Yuzhang Old County, Hongdu New Province." Yan Boyu was expressionless, such a bland beginning, everyone would write.
The second note was handed over again: "The stars are divided into wings, and the ground is connected to henglu." "What's that, really. When yan Boyu wrote that "the layers are towering green, and the upper mountains are heavy", Yan Boyu couldn't help but nod his head silently, and when "the sunset and the lone bird flew together, and the autumn water was long and colorful" was handed over, he finally couldn't sit still, and he was shocked to shoot the case and exclaimed: "This is a famous passage through the ages!" ”
This is the origin of the "Preface to the Tengwang Pavilion", the whole text of nearly a thousand words, has become a must-memorize text for students. But although the teacher asked us to recite it, he never mentioned who the builder "King Teng" was.
King Teng's origin is really not small, he is The brother of Tang Taizong Li Shimin, Li Yuanbao, who was born after Tang Gaozu Li Yuan's throne. Li Yuannian is a typical clumsy disciple, how stupid is it? Even when his brother Li Shimin died, he was still drinking and having fun, in addition to being an authentic earth overlord.
In the Old and New Book of Tang, it is written: "Emperor Taizong collapsed, and the eunuchs drank and sang and danced, and they were raised in a cunning manner. Patrolling the provincial ministry, borrowing dogs from the people to ask for help, and the people who have been wronged, they have taken pills and bullets, and watched them walk and avoid them. This means that he often attacks passers-by with slingshots for fun, and raises vicious dogs to walk around the streets, because no one dares to provoke him because of his special status.
According to historical records, he was crowned king of Tengwang when he was nine years old, and it was in Tengzhou, Shandong, and this guy built a palace for himself as soon as he arrived in Tengzhou, and the Tengwang Pavilion was also built during this period. In the fourth year of Tang Xianqing (659 AD), because of Li Yuanbao's arrogant behavior, the people's resentment grew, so Li Zhi transferred him to Hongzhou in Jiangnan. When Li Yuannian arrived in Hongzhou, he built another "Tengwang Pavilion", but Li Yuanniang's cunning disposition remained unchanged, and Li Zhi transferred him to Suzhou and demoted him to the history of thorns.
No matter where Li Yuannian went, the palace would be repaired wherever he went, and the people's labor and wealth, arrogance and lasciviousness caused the people to complain and complain, and he was really a person who had nothing to praise. Perhaps this is also the reason, when the teacher taught the "Preface to the Tengwang Pavilion", he did not want to mention the person of "Tengwang" Li Yuanbao, because it was really difficult to mention.
