He is a talented man who sits on eight ladies, but also an upside-down man who has been abandoned by his wife, he is a talented young talent, and he is an unlucky student who has been used by others, he is Tang Bohu, who is known as the head of the four talents in Jiangnan, is he really a gentleman, and what are the untold bitter stories in him? Tang Yin, from Bohu, also from Ziwei, was a native of Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, a famous painter and writer of the Ming Dynasty, and one of the four families of Wumen. These wumen four families are four famous Ming Dynasty painters, namely Shen Zhou, Wen Zhengming, Tang Yin, and Qiu Ying; one of the four talents of Wu Zhong, wu zhong four talents is Zhu Yunming, Wen Zhengming, Xu Zhenqing and Tang Bohu, who are familiar to us.
In the film and television drama, Tang Bohu is a rich son of a rich family who lives a life of fine clothes and jade food, but the real Tang Bohu family is not rich. Tang Bohu was born in Suzhou in 1470 AD, his father opened a tavern, but in ancient times, heavy agriculture and suppression of commerce is the ruler's eternal policy, the status of merchants under the peasants, taverns can not make money, the family can only rely on this tavern to survive, so his father put the hope of the bright lintel on Tang Bohu, so he sent Tang Bohu to a private school to study. Tang Bohu relied on his unforgettable skills, his academic performance was very excellent, and he was admitted to Xiucai when he was sixteen years old, and he was the first in Suzhou. Wen Zhengming's father came to Tang Bohu's house as a guest, Tang Bohu was painting, so he recommended Tang Bohu to Shen Zhoumen to learn painting, and eventually Tang Bohu also became a famous painter, and finally with his outstanding talent, he became one of the four talents of Wu Zhong.
At this time, his fate was also completely changing, and there were successive accidents at home, and his relatives died one after another, leaving only himself. A few years later, Tang Bohu, who was in his twenties, came out of his depression and embarked on the road to Beijing to catch the examination, on the way Tang Bohu met Xu Jing, Xu Jing took Tang Bohu everywhere to make friends with dignitaries and dignitaries, and interacted with the chief examiner, because the two perfect answers, because of cheating, he fell into prison, in fact, Tang Bohu did not cheat at all, the whole thing was Xu Jing and the subordinates in the main examination office colluded with each other, that is, because of this, Tang Bohu could not escape the disaster of imprisonment, and lost the opportunity to take the examination again. Since then, Tang Bohu has lost consciousness and began to lose confidence in the world, so he indulged himself and fooled around with those prostitutes. A young man full of hope and confidence became a boy who could only visit the kiln, coupled with the decline of his family, and there was no extra money to live, so he made a living by selling paintings, sometimes in order to be able to have food to eat, he put down his dignity and painted some Spring Palace paintings in exchange for money.
Tang Bohu was reused by King Ning in middle age, but King Ning coveted the throne. Later, Tang Bohu inadvertently learned that King Ning was secretly recruiting troops to buy horses, and he concluded that King Ning was not enough to compete with the imperial court, so he was unwilling to continue to do things for King Ning, but King Ning had the grace of knowing himself. So Tang Bohu decided to pretend to be crazy and stupid, and passed the pass, and sure enough, this method worked, and King Ning believed that it was true, so he drove Tang Bohu out of the Ning King's Mansion, and from then on Tang Bohu became a homeless and stranded student.
After the rebellion of King Ning, Tang Bohu became more depressed, tang Bohu finally completely lost interest in this world, indulging in alcohol every day, however, the money from selling paintings was no longer enough to support his expenses, and he often made "hungry" and eventually ended up depressed in poverty and unwillingness, leaving only Tang Yin's "No Pen": There is a scattering in the yang of life, and it is not bad to die in the mansion. The Yang Dynasty is similar, only when drifting in a foreign land! To sum up: The real Tang Bohu in history had a bumpy fate in his life, his life was poor and destitute, he did not meet huaicai, he felt that the world was cold, and he died depressed at the age of 54, and the poem he wrote on his deathbed revealed the complex emotions of his inner nostalgia and jealousy.
This is the real Tang Bohu in history, there is no family property, no spring breeze, no confidant, not even a decent home, some are just endless misfortune and sorrow, empty of talent, but in the end can not be displayed, people always say that life is not satisfactory, nine times out of ten, Tang Bohu is the true portrayal of this sentence.
