Tang Yin (1470-1523) was a native of Wu County, Jiangsu Province. The "History of Ming" says that he was very clever and clever when he was a teenager, and he indulged in drinking with his fellow villager Zhang Ling, and did not do his business. Later, under the persuasion of Zhu Zhishan, he worked hard to study in closed houses, and at the age of twenty-nine, he became the first place in the township examination in the eleventh year of Koji (1498). The chief examiner Liang Chu was very appreciative of his talent, so he recommended his article to Cheng Minzheng, a scholar of the Hanlin Dynasty, and Min Zheng was amazed after reading it. Soon, Cheng Xueshi became the main examiner of the examination, and Tang Bohu saw that he was about to become famous, but he did not expect to be implicated in the case of the bachelor's servant who accepted bribes and leaked the question, "Go to prison and be an official." "He was proud of human nature, not ashamed to be in the same stream with the officials, and from then on he actually cut off the idea of his career, returned home and lived idly, did not want to live for more than twenty years, relying on selling calligraphy and paintings to make a living, drinking and writing poetry all day long, indulging in landscapes and famous places, and making friends with literati and inkers, although he was poor and poor, he did not lose the demeanor of the sages under the forest of the Six Dynasties. In the second year of Jiajing (1523), the 54-year-old Jiangnan first wind and talent ended his life of despair.

According to the records, Qiu Xiang and his people are by no means illusory, but there is more than one, and we can find some traces of them according to the poetry and notes of the Ming Dynasty.
According to Mei Yujin's "Records of the Lotus Flower of Green Mud", during the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty, on the banks of the Qinhuai River in the land of the wind and moon in Nanjing, there was a famous prostitute named Qiu Xiang, who came to the door to ask for pleasure from the old days after liang, and she politely refused with a poem with a fan painting willow inscription. His poem yun: "In the past, Zhangtai danced with a thin waist, and allowed the king to climb the old branches." Now written into Danqingli, the east wind is not allowed to waver again. "In terms of age, this Qiu Xiang is a little older than Tang Bohu, because he was born in the sixth year of Chenghua, and he was only a teenager who did not know the world.
In Zhu Yunming's poem, there is also an autumn incense. His poem "Qiu Xiang Ben Mian" (秋香便面) poem Yun: "Huang Yu Shake Silver Small Fan Diagram, Wuyun Pavilion Female Fairy Residence; between the lines have written Qiu Xiang characters, I know that it is the Chengdu Xue School Book." Zhu Zhishan was a four-year-old scholar of the Ming Dynasty, dozens of years older than Tang Bohu, and the Qiu Xiang mentioned in his poem may or may not be the same as Mei Yujin said, but it is estimated that he still does not have too close a relationship with Tang Bohu.
In addition, Qiu Xiang saw Wang Tongluo's book "Ear Talk". The book tells the story of a man named Chen Xuanchao from Wu County, Jiangsu Province, who died because his father offended the traitor Yan Song, who himself was young and depressed, once swam with friends on Tiger Hill, and accidentally saw a certain eunuch laughing from a concubine and taking care of himself, which led to a moving romantic story, from the name of the maid qiuxiang. According to Wang Tonglu, qiu xiang is a person before and after Jiajing and Wanli, who was the master of the Nanjing Taibu Temple, and the age of the events he remembered may be after Bo Hu's death, which may be the prototype of the story of Tang Bohu and Qiu Xiang.
During the Wanli Dynasty, after Wang Tonglu, Yao Lu wrote the Book of Lu, which once again described the matter of Qiu Xiang. At this time, the male protagonist has been changed from Chen Xuanchao to Ji Daoren (Ren Zhi), and other details have not been changed. Obviously, Qiu Xiang still had nothing to do with Bo Hu.
3. Anecdotes about Tang Bohu and Qiu Xiang
After the Wanli Calendar, folk began to spread anecdotes about Tang Bohu's life, and many note-taking novels were attached to the customs to satisfy the curiosity of the city, and the "Miscellaneous Records of Jing Materials" was one of them. For the first time, the book transferred the matter of the six branches of Zhuzhi Mountain to Tang Bohu, who read it with people, gave him the name Hua'an, and later eloped with Yahuan Guihua. Although Qiu Xiang did not appear at this time, Tang Xieyuan's debut was the prelude, and the later commentary "Tang Xieyuan's Smile and Marriage" was this.
According to the summary of the "Siku Quanshu Bibliography", song jushi is likely to be a person before and after the Ming Dynasty apocalypse, and in his notes on the "Miscellaneous Records of the Banana Window", he synthesized several theories such as "Ear Talk", "Lu Shu", "Jing Material Miscellaneous" and so on, and let Tang Bohu light Qiu Xiang for the first time, which was copied as follows:
After Tang Ziwei was released, Yu Jin saw a painting boat, Zhu Cui Ying seat, a girl inside, a good posture, smiling and caring, it was easy to buy a dinghy tail. Arrived at Wu Xingzhi as a certain eunuch family also. The sun passes through its door, and it is a disgrace, a servant of the book. The master stayed as the second son's maid, everything was done first, the master loved it, the second son's text became more and more strange, and the father and master did not know that the son was afraid of it. Having already returned by marrying, the second son did not obey, saying: 'The maid in the room is only lustful'. The one who chooses it all, the one who gets the autumn incense, that is, what Jin Zhang sees, the second son, the white parents and the wife. On the eve of the wedding, the girl said: "Junfei xiang Jin saw the person"? He said, 'Emperors and gentlemen, why should they be lowly like this'? "Concubines used to see the young men supporting the king and asking for calligraphy and painting, and the king waved like a stream, and cheered and floated white, and if there was no one, he looked at my boat, and the concubine knew that the king was not an ordinary soldier, but a laughing ear'! Zi Wei said: 'What a woman, in the dust of the famous shiye!' 'Happy talking.' There is no he, there are guests passing through his door, the host makes the son afraid of the guest, and the guest constantly pays attention to the child during the banquet. The guest privately said: 'Jun He looks like Tang Zi Wei'? Zi Wei Said: 'Of course, Yu Mu is the girl of the Lord's family, so she came here'. The guest white host, the host was horrified, and the guests were entertained. Tomorrow, Zhi Baijin was dressed up and sent back to Wuzhong. ”
It is not difficult to see that in addition to the story described in the "Banana Window Miscellaneous" that is more complete than that of the predecessors, its heroine Qiu Xiang can see the hero in the wind and dust, and is almost in love with Bo Hu at first sight, which can no longer be seen in the stories of future generations.
Fourth, one laugh, two laughs and three laughs
After the story of Tang Bohu and Qiu Xiang spread in society, a number of new works emerged around this theme, such as Meng Zhaoshun's "A Smile Before The Flower", Zhuo Keyue's "Flower FangYuan"; legendary such as Wen Suchen's "Wen Xing Xian"; commentaries such as Feng Menglong's "Cautionary Tales" Volume 26 "Tang Xieyuan Laughing Marriage"; and the vernacular novel Feng Menglong's "Love History" Volume IV Tang Yin tiao. No matter how the plot of these stories is arranged, one thing is the same, that is, Qiu Xiang's laughter provokes marriage. However, the playword book "Three Laughs" is different, Qiu Xiang's laugh is only the introduction, followed by two laughs and three laughs to make a lot of light, humorous, intriguing plot, making the whole story appear more perfect.
It is certain that early bullet words appeared in the late Ming Dynasty. According to Qi Rice Niu's "Examination of the Old Novel of The Marriage of Three Laughs", Yun: "Mr. Wang Baigu at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the drama changed the words of the three laughs, and there was no publication in the world. Hereby Zhonghua Book Integration Company obtained a handwritten copy of Wang's original revised version by Gusongge, and the pages were grayed out, and the master ordered it to be patched into a volume. In the Qing Dynasty, Cao Chunzhou's "Three Laughs Marriage" and Wu Xintian's "Three Laughs New Edition" were popular in society.
Qiu Xiang's three laughs and Tang Yin's obsession are roughly arranged like this: On August 21 of a certain year, Tang Bohu roamed the Tiger Hill and happened to meet Qiu Xiang with Mrs. Hua who walked through here, because he was shocked by Qiu Xiang's beauty, he could not help himself for a while, and Qiu Xiang saw his stupid appearance and smiled (the first laugh met beauty). Tang misunderstood the meaning of this laugh, made himself sentimental, hired a small boat to chase, and rushed to Qiu Xiang's boat with all his might, but he encountered her pushing open the window of the rear cabin to splash face wash water, and poor Zi Wei was drenched, and Qiu Xiang couldn't help but laugh again (the second laugh was amazing). Bo Hu's heart of love for beauty did not die, and he chased to the front of the HuataiShi Mansion, and when Qiu Xiang looked back, he found that the wrongdoer was still following behind, so he smiled a third smile. Tang Bohu was seduced by Qiu Xiang with a smile, and he was already involuntary, and finally sold himself into slavery, and it took a lot of hardships before he got his wish. This beginning and end of first bitterness and then sweetness is very consistent with the character and preferences of the Chinese people.
Of course, for the authenticity of Tang Bohu and Qiu Xiang's story, there are many people who disagree. For example, Wang Shizhen's "Miscellaneous Notes on Gufu Yuting" by The Qing Dynasty, Ruan Kuisheng's "Chayu Guest Talk", and Liang Zhangju's "Continuation of the Traces of The Waves" all cite Yao Lu's "Book of Dew" to correct Tang Yin, and even more so, huang Jiao's "Xi shen cong dialect", adding stories to Yu Jian'an, and quite critical of "the good deeds interpreted as the son fearing qiu xiang", and so on.
It is true that Tang Bohu and Qiu Xiang did have their own people, but the relationship between them could not stand up to historical examination. In the middle of literature and history, many have made their own choices, which were the case in the past, and will remain so and will remain so.
