Cai Yong was a scholar of the Eastern Han Dynasty, he was erudite, poetry, astronomy, calligraphy and other achievements are very high, leaving a hundred words to give famous works, creating a calligraphy "Feibai Book", cut into the world-famous Qin Jiaowei Qin, is a talent of the world respected by later generations. However, like many talented people in the past, Cai Yong was ultimately unable to influence the officialdom, resulting in a tragic ending.
During the Reign of Emperor Ling of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the eunuchs had exclusive power and the imperial power weakened. The Han Ling Emperor also broke the rules and sealed 12 palace attendants at one time, known in history as the "Ten Constant Attendants"; and plundered the people's wealth, causing the people's resentment to boil, the lives to be destroyed, and the appearance of the end of the day. At that time, many officials dared to be angry at Emperor Ling's actions and chose Mingzhe to protect themselves.

Only Cai Yong had a straight personality and wanted to reverse Qiankun, often playing the role of Emperor Ling, requesting that the power of eunuchs be weakened, and that the politics be clear. However, after the Ling Emperor handed over power to the eunuchs, he ate and drank all day, paying more and more attention to enjoyment, and relying more and more on the eunuchs around him. Cai Yong played one after another, and the Ling Emperor was tired of this and chose to ignore it. Over time, Cai Yong became a thorn in the side of the eunuch clique, and they found an opportunity to make a rumor to Emperor Ling, and Cai Yong was convicted and exiled to Shuofang.
Fortunately, in the second year of exile, the world was amnesty and Cai Yong was released. He could have returned to his hometown to live a peaceful life, but he was afraid that the eunuchs would harm him, so he did not dare to return to his hometown, so he hid in Jiangnan with his family for 12 years. During these 12 years, he had no fixed home and often needed to rent a house.
It was on such a wandering road that once Cai Yong heard the landlord next door cooking on the fire, and there was a crackling sound in the stove, and he rushed over, snatched a piece of old paulownia wood that had been burned from the stove, and asked the landlord for it. Later, he used this intercepted paulownia wood to cut it into a "scorched tail qin" named because the wood had been burned. "Jiaowei Qin" later became one of the four famous qins in the history of our country, and it was fortunate to see it for hundreds of generations.

Cai Yong is not only good at cutting the piano, but also plays the piano and is good at theory of piano learning, and his "Qin Fu" and "Qin Cao" have influenced the entire piano study and are still undiminished piano readings. He also expressed his heart with the piano, and composed the piano song "Remembering the Past", which has a rigorous structure, a neat melody, and a melodious melody, which is a must-learn repertoire for all generations of pianists. It's just that Cai Yong has drifted all the way, even though he has talent and a piano, he does not dare to return to his hometown after all. It was not until after Emperor Ling's death and Dong Zhuo came to power that this situation was reversed.
Dong Zhuo, as a generation of evil courtiers, admired Cai Yongzhi's talent very much, and was both soft and hard, and specially summoned him back to the dynasty. After Cai Yong returned to the dynasty, he was reused by Dong Zhuo, and within three days, he was successively upgraded, becoming a general of Zuo Zhonglang, known as Cai Zhonglang. But because of this, his and Dong Zhuo's fates were tied together.
In the eyes of the people of the world, Dong Zhuo threatened the Son of Heaven into a tyranny, but in Cai Yong's eyes, Dong Zhuo saved him from exile and had grace and righteousness. Therefore, after Dong Zhuo was killed by Situ Wang Yun, when Cai Yong talked about Dong Zhuo at the banquet, he actually had a sad face and shed tears. As a result, the move angered Wang Yun, who imprisoned him as Dong Zhuo's party. Cai Yong knew that the situation was not good, and asked for torture to save his life and finish the Book of Han, but Wang Yun was not moved, and soon after, Cai Yong died tragically in prison.

When he died, the talents of the world were all sad and heartbroken. However, his death in such a turbulent period was actually already doomed: Cai Yong was a talent of the world, but he always had a temperature. He was benevolent and filial, and he had been ill-dressed for several months during his mother's illness, and he took good care of him, so he would come forward to impeach the eunuchs at the moment when others were protecting himself, and he would suddenly remember Dong Zhuo's kindness and mourn with tears at the moment when Dong Zhuo was very happy after his death, so that he would die of sin.
Throughout ancient history, many talented people have no good luck in politics, why? Because the politics under the ancient imperial power did not need warmth, only rationality, once deviated, it was difficult to retreat from the whole body. And Cai Yong is a pure talent, with the temperature of talent, sensibility and simplicity, so it is said that he is successful in talent and defeated in temperature.
