Xu Wenjing is delicate, gentle and considerate, with loving husband and wife.

Second, the anecdote of Tang Bohu

One of the "Wu Si Cai Zi". People only know that he was naughty when he was a teenager; Youth is romantic; Middle-aged and cynical. So the world polished some of his stories, so that they were compiled into many legendary novels, such as Tang Bohu's three-point Chou-heung, and so on. However, the story about the legendary Tang Bohu may not be completely true, but it can reveal that this talented painter's character is wild and unrestrained, and he doesn't live in etiquette.

At that time, Tang Bohu was already a famous painter in Ming Dynasty. So many rich and powerful people want to ask Tang Bohu for some paintings by virtue of their own power, but Tang Bohu is naturally not afraid of power and likes to make friends with the poor. Because of this, Tang Bohu would rather paint for the poor than pay attention to those high officials.

Once upon a time, there was a book called Nine Beautiful Pictures, which told the story that Tang Bohu married nine beautiful women. The plot is very bizarre. In fact, there is no such thing in history, but it is true that Tang Bohu painted nine beautiful pictures. The origin of "Nine Beautiful Pictures" is that Zhu Zhishan once went to Tang Bohu and made a bet with Tang Bohu that as long as Tang Bohu could draw ten beautiful pictures of Suzhou celebrities within one year, Zhu Zhishan would pay him three hundred and twenty pieces of silver. But at that time, Tang Bohu ignored this point: in a good family, the door is closed on weekdays and the second door is not open. Where can I find ten photos of beautiful women? At this time, Tang Xing 'an suggested that Tang Bohu go to the mysterious temple on the first and second day of each month to easily get ten beautiful pictures, but Tang Bohu only finished nine, and these nine beautiful pictures were preserved.

Third, the anecdotes of Zhu, Wen and Zhang He.

Zhu Zhishan is Tang Bohu's best friend. His name is Xizhe. Although he is a juror, he has no intention of becoming famous. His mind is full of calligraphy, especially cursive. They are similar in temperament. They often carry a hip flask on their backs and take a fishing boat, drinking and writing poems, while enjoying the mountains and rivers, which means avoiding the world and abandoning the customs. Shortly after being framed in Kyoto, they also resigned from the position of magistrate of a county. They even went out together, put out love poems, put out wine and sent flowers. Someone once said that they once went to Yangzhou and found that the silver had been used up. I heard that Yangzhou's salt policy was elegant, so I turned into a charity monk and came to the yamen. I suggested that they write poems on stones, so I suggested that they were extremely satisfied with their works and rewarded them with money, so I played for a few more days. Zhu Zhishan's famous cursive script, coupled with Tang Bohu's exquisite painting skills, made "Tang Hua Zhuzi" famous.

Wen Bi, named Zheng Ming, is also a good friend of Tang Bohu. However, because he was strictly disciplined by his father Lin Wen when he was a child, he never dared to have sex. Therefore, when Tang Bohu and Zhu Zhishan invited two young prostitutes to make fun of him without telling him, they wrote a long letter to persuade Tang Bohu.

Tang Bohu refused to admit that he took the joke seriously, so their 20-year friendship broke up. It was not until ten years later that Tang Bohu wrote to Zheng Ming and frankly reviewed his mistakes. After Zheng Ming finished reading it, he hurried to Taohuawu. Only then did the two best friends melt their bad feelings in tears. Therefore, their friendship grew deeper and deeper, and they talked about everything until Tang Bohu died.

Zhang Ling, whose name is Jin Meng, was very clever since she was a child and won the first place in the boy test. However, due to the early death of his father, he gradually became unruly and addicted to alcohol. It's a pity that Zhu Zhishan saw him and took him as an apprentice. Since then, he has often traveled around the world with Zhu Zhishan and Tang Bohu. On one occasion, three people found that they had no money after drinking in a hotel, so Tang Bohu found a blank piece of paper and drew a few strokes, which turned it into green mountains and green waters. Zhu Zhishan picked up a pen and wrote four poems, which added a lot of color. Finally, Jin Meng added a painting child beside the green water, which made the picture full of life. This painting not only paid for the drinks, but also made them drink more. [Meng Jin has a lustful nature, does not draw official names, and has always been the best friend. 〕

The story of Tang Bohu.

Since the publication of Feng Menglong's novel "Married with a Smile", due to the noise of folk artists and operas, the story of Tang Bohu lighting Chou-heung has been widely circulated among the people, and Tang Bohu has also become a well-known historical figure in China. In folklore, Tang Bohu became a rich man with many wives. In fact, this is a great distortion of Tang Bohu's true colors. In the history of Tang Bohu, there is no legendary affair, but it is poor and bumpy.

Tang Bohu, named Tang Yin, lived in the middle of Ming Dynasty and was born in a small merchant family. Brilliant since childhood, poetry and painting, without exception. During the Hongzhi period, Xie Yuan, who won the first place after having obtained the provincial examination in Tianfu (now Nanjing), became famous for a while, and called himself "the first gifted scholar in the south of the Yangtze River". Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. In the second year's examination, Tang Bohu was implicated in the imperial examination fraud case and suffered a series of unfair lawsuits. Since then, the imperial examination has been closed, and the road to fame and fortune has been broken.

Tang Bohu was rich and famous, and his marriage was unhappy. His first wife, surnamed Xu, came from a rich family and was very snobbish. She hopes that Tang Bohu will reach the top in 2008 and become the first, and her husband and wife will also be honored. Who knows that Tang Bohu was involved in cheating in the examination room and lost the hope of being an official. Her hopes were dashed. From then on, the husband and wife turned against each other and quarreled day after day. Finally, Lao Yan parted ways and divorced. Later, a woman named Shen nine niang came into Tang Bohu's life, and they hit it off and played in harmony. Unfortunately, Shen nine niang died prematurely. Tang Bohu never took a second wife.

The failure of the imperial examination and the misfortune of marriage dealt a great blow to Tang Bohu, so he went down to the rivers and lakes, wandered around famous mountains and rivers, devoted himself to painting and calligraphy, and finally became a great man and made great artistic achievements.

Many of his stories are circulated in Suzhou. It is said that a person close to Tang Bohu asked Tang Bohu to draw a bamboo pole standing in the wind, on which lay a weaver girl. When the man came home, he hung Tang Bohu's painting in his room. In the middle of the night, the man was awakened by the cry of Weaver Girl in his sleep. He stood up and looked around in the snow. Finally, he found that the screaming Weaver Girl was actually the one in Tang Bohu's painting. On another occasion, Tang Bohu drew three river shrimps for a friend's fan, and the friend couldn't put it down. On a boat trip, I accidentally dropped my fan into the river. Three shrimps on the fan jumped into the river and swam away together. These legends vividly describe Tang Bohu's superb painting skills.

The rough life formed Tang Bohu's arrogant character, and he looked down on powerful people. He said in a poem: "I hope I will die of old age." Car dust is expensive, and hops are poor. "It is better to be poor than to follow suit, which reflects his character. Lofty and arrogant, is bound to offend dignitaries, therefore, Tang Bohu's life is not rich. He said in a poem: "There is no room for laughter when standing on a cone, but Wan Li was born under the pen of Jiangshan. "Life is so embarrassing that there is almost no room to stand on the cone. In another poem, he wrote: "The green hills are white-haired, old and strong, and write about the hardships of life! "Tell the situation of poor life directly. 1523, 53-year-old Tang Bohu died of poverty and disease. After his death, he was too poor to be buried, so he had to live in his house for a while. Today, near the Tang Bohu site in Taohuawu, Suzhou, there is an alley called "Tang Yin's Tomb". It was not until twenty years later that Tang Bohu's relatives and friends pooled their money to move Tang Bohu's coffin and bury it in Wang Jiacun, in the west of the city.

More than 400 years have passed, and the people of Suzhou will always miss this outstanding painter. In 1980s, Suzhou Municipal People's Government invested more than one million yuan to rebuild Tang Yin's tomb, and built a memorial hall in its cemetery to display Tang Yin's deeds and works, which was officially opened to the public on 1986.

In Tang Yin Memorial Hall, there is a couplet that summarizes Tang Yin's life. Transcribed as follows:

Ask Tang Qu what is crying. Even though Qingyun was hopeless, he won a high reputation as a talent and was above the princes.

After Song Yu's evocation, the Cang Tomb was rebuilt this time, which decorated the beautiful scenery, with beautiful lakes and mountains.

begin

[B] One day, I went to Suzhou Taohuawu to meet friends with the Tang family, and I saw that I was drawing with a pen. What I drew was a vertical shaft of mountains and rivers, which was full of clouds and mist, very vivid. He made fun of him and said, "Brother, your landscape painting is good, even better than the true biography of your master Shen Zhou;" But I almost drew a lady. 」

At that time, Tang Bohu was young and full of energy. He was extremely dissatisfied and said, "What's wrong with me painting a lady? When Zhu Zhishan saw that Tang Bohu recognized the truth, he smiled and said, "It's no fun to draw ordinary ladies. If you can draw ten paintings of Suzhou celebrities in one year, I will surrender to you, and I can bet you three hundred and twenty pieces of silver. " Tang Bohu was Zhu Zhishan a shock, a slight thought carefully, readily agreed.

Off the Zhu Zhishan, Tang Bohu think carefully, just know to be taken in by the beard again. Imagine that everyone is very educated. On weekdays, the door is closed and the second door is not open. Where can these ten beautiful pictures be drawn?

Obviously, the host is going to lose, so he is very unhappy. Buddhist nun Tang Xing is very clever. He immediately put forward a suggestion: "Xianggong, in my opinion, ten pictures of beautiful women are not difficult." On the first and half months of every month, people always go to the mysterious temple to burn incense, and the people who burn incense are often ladies. You and Master Xuan Miaoguan are chess friends. You can sleep in the pavilion one day earlier, dress up as a little Taoist, cut candles and ring bells, and see clearly. " As soon as Tang Bohu heard it right, he followed the plan.

After going to Qiu Lai in the spring, Tang Bohu did draw eight pictures of famous beauties with surnames. He was very proud. He felt he had to surprise Zhu Zhishan this time and let him taste the loss.

As usual, Tang Bohu took Tang Xing to live in a mysterious temple. Early in the morning, I saw a girl, dressed in blue cloth and with a flower in her head, neither in a car nor in a sedan chair. Her face is like a full moon, her eyes are like meteors, and her face is very moving, but she feels a little familiar. On closer inspection, it turned out to be Gui, a girl from Taohuawu Street Tofu Shop. When Tang Bohu saw her, he couldn't help but panic. With a creak, the scissors for cutting candles fell to the ground.

A Gui was about to worship god, and when he saw this situation, he couldn't help giggling. Tang Bohu is more afraid. He dare not even pick up the candle scissors. He hurried back outside the temple. He didn't want to bump into the teacher's father who had just entered the temple, so he couldn't help crying. As a result, A Gui was even more amused and smiled back. It was this "San Xiao" that someone later fabricated the story of "San Xiao".

middle piece

[B] When Tang Bohu came home, he painted the portrait he saw in the study as usual. Just after painting, I saw Mrs. Liu walk into the study and look at the painting carefully, frowning. "Isn't this the girl A Gui in the tofu shop?" Tang Bohu told her in detail how to bet with Zhu Zhishan's master.

Liu Xiang complained: "These paintings are all famous families. I wonder what will happen if they are taken to Zhu Zhishan. You must never give it to him, and you must never steal any more beautiful women. Zhu Zhishan is here, and I have something to answer. 」

This date has arrived, and I came to the Tang family excitedly. According to Liu's command, spread out the picture and show it. Just when I saw the ninth picture, I heard a burst of footsteps. Liu in the front, Tang Xing in the back, into the study. Zhao Rong said solemnly, "Uncle Tang Yin, I wish you youth and ignorance. Your eldest brother didn't teach him to follow the rules, but told him to draw a beautiful family and spread it around. How dare we "xianggong" meet people? Take these ten pictures and burn them quickly so as not to cause trouble in the future. 」

Tang Xing already knows, promised to smoke a go toward outside walk. Soon, I saw a wisp of smoke rising in the yard, and the paper turned into butterflies. Liu Ye pretended to be angry and went back to his room, leaving him despondently for the first time in his life.

Actually, this is a plan of Liu. None of the nine beautiful paintings were damaged, only those that were invalidated on weekdays in Tang Bohu were burned. In this way, the host silver did not lose, and Jiumeitu also survived. It is said that it was seen by others in the late Qing Dynasty.

Tang Bohu and Zhu Zhishan bet that they were always uneasy because they didn't draw all ten beautiful pictures. One morning, he sat at the dresser and watched his wife face the mirror to make up. Suddenly, he had a brainwave and became very interested in painting. He thought, it's really hard to find a place to get it. It would be great if my wife could make me a picture lover!

He likes to explain his mind to Liu politely. In the past, women refused to show up, and so did Lu. On hearing her husband's words, she blushed and kept saying, "What's the use? What the hell! If it gets out, not only will people say "xianggong" is frivolous, but even I can't survive. 」

Tang Bohu said, "It is human nature to have fun in the boudoir. If I pass on the beauty of my lady to future generations, wouldn't it be a romantic story! Zhao Rong disagreed, but he couldn't stand Tang Bohu's bow and bow, so he couldn't end it. He had to say that "xianggong" must draw a picture of his back, so that others would not recognize him when they saw him. "Lu means: since ancient times, painters have never painted their backs.

Such praise can dispel her husband's interest in painting and stop pestering him. Unexpectedly, Tang Bohu clapped his hands again and again and said, "Madam is really smart. I have been painting for many years, but I have never thought of such a new idea. 」

Lu had to follow her husband to the lotus pond in the back garden, half leaning on the shame rockery, scattering flowers in the pond, the fish in Doby pond. This time, Tang Bohu drew a picture for his wife.

I saw the beautiful woman in that painting, with moderate fat and thin, suitable length, towering into the sky and low powder, which was really graceful. In particular, there is a charming and pretty expression unique to girls, which is vividly on the paper. After painting, it ranks first among the ten pictures.

Because the first nine photos are all glimpses, this one is more vivid, because Tang Bohu and his wife live together day and night and are very familiar with each other.

End of movement

[B] The story could have ended here, but this painting is really good. Later, an anecdote was introduced.

This painting was bought by a scholar from a descendant of a poor squire during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. After seeing this painting, he was intoxicated with it every day. The more he watched it, the more he liked it, and the more he liked it, the more fascinated he became. I thought to myself, the back of this beautiful woman is so touching, I don't know what kind of beauty there is on the front! Since then, I have been saying, "Beauty, why don't you look back?" 」

People at home are worried when they see him getting thinner and thinner. When I asked for a doctor, I said it was a heart disease and I needed a cardiologist. If you get what you want to see, the disease will recover quickly, otherwise the medicine will not work and the doctor can do nothing.

A wise man came up with a way to change the picture while the son was asleep. The scenery and clothes are the same, but the beautiful face is positive. My son saw at a glance that the people in the painting were ordinary, a lovesickness stopped and his illness gradually improved.

So people say that Tang Bohu's paintings are alive, and a picture of his back makes future generations miss him.
