One Chinese New Year's Eve night 500 years ago, Tang Bohu wrote this picture, which was incredibly beautiful!
The actual life of Tang Bohu is very different from the description in film and television dramas, in the traditional theater cognition, the talent must be popular, the literati must also be sentimental, the birth is often noble, and the friends must be extraordinary.
In reality, Tang Bohu, in his youth, was the first in the examination, from the government examination to the hospital examination to the township examination, all of which were the first place in the examination, equivalent to the first in today's whole district, to the first in the city, and then to the first in the province, just as the so-called spring wind was proud of the horseshoe disease, so he wrote in the poem: Zhuangxin was not willing to fish the tree, and Qin Yunxian thought of sweeping away.
Fate is often like this, prosperity will decline, when you are most proud of the spring wind, often give you a painful blow, and later when he participated in the examination in the capital, he was inadvertently involved in a scientific examination fraud case, he met Xu Jing, a student who was the main examiner, and the two stood out in the process of answering the examination papers, all of them answered correctly, causing dissatisfaction from other lifters, so they suspected that the two cheated, so Tang Bohu suffered the disaster of innocence and was relegated to a small official.
For a generation of talents who are super talented and arrogant, such a blow will often discourage him, so he rejected the official field and wandered into the Qin Lou Chu Pavilion, accompanied by painting, calligraphy, poetry, and music, and since then, the decadent Daming official field has one less dispensable bureaucrat, and in the art history of the Ming Dynasty, there is one more rare talent.
In a Chinese New Year's Eve night in Tang Bohu's later years, Tang Bohu lamented the encounters in life, in the winter firewood room, he got up to cook rice, faced with the lights and shadows, and the emotional encounters of life, so he wrote two poems with a pen, in the first poem he said:
His current situation is: purple smoke plugged house canning soup, two years old equally divided this night long. His life is: sideburns and manes on the wall, strong figures firmly poured wine on the intestines. He lamented the injustice of fate: fate is grinding scorpions poor and difficult to send, rice has a stream fish old may as well be. He changed his mentality and slowly accepted the baptism of life: sweeping the Ming Dynasty to worship the new year, Wu tended to and followed Qi Luo.
At this time, Tang Bohu had separated from his brother, lived independently, lived a very poor and sloppy life, often his hair was not taken care of, the house was a mess, there was no place to get off his feet, and when he cooked rice, the house was full of smoke and dust, fortunately, such a bachelor still reported the best hope for life, so he said: Wu tends to go and go one by one.
Excellent works of art are often stimulated in special circumstances, Tang Bohu wrote this volume of "Chinese New Year's Eve Poems", every word is solid and stable, no longer like the frivolity and casualness of his youth, middle-aged Tang Bohu has more thinking and maturity in art, and the grinding of life has also matured people's art.
In terms of calligraphy, Tang Bohu's method of taking is not very extensive, from Wang Xizhi's "Sacred Order" to Zhao Ziang's calligraphy to Wen Zhengming's calligraphy, he almost all dabbled in it, when more is the expression of his own temperament, and this is precisely the most valuable place for a calligrapher.
