If it wasn't Tang Bohu who really lit Chou-heung in history, who was the real person?

The prototype of Chou-heung's story should be another Suzhou genius Chen. In his Whispering in My Ear, the novelist of the Ming Dynasty told the story of Chen He, a talented scholar in Suzhou, and Dian Qiuxiang. There is no such thing as Tang Bohu lighting Chou-heung in history. Tang Bohu frequented romantic places, but it was a social fashion at that time. There is no record of Tang Yin's affair in history. There was indeed a talented woman named Chou-heung in the Ming Dynasty, but she had no emotional connection with Tang Yin. At that time, she was known as "Wuzhong talented woman" and was quite famous. However, she was not a handmaid of a large family, but a famous prostitute in the romantic field in Jinling, Du Nan at that time.

In fact, Tang Yin has had three wives. /kloc-married Xu at the age of 0/9 and had deep feelings. However, when he was 25 years old, his parents, wife and sister died one after another, which hit him hard. Later, I married another one, but I left him after he was caught cheating in the examination room. At the age of 36, Tang Yin married Shen nine niang, a confidante in distress, and lived in Taohuawu from then on until his death. Tang Yin, who was frustrated all his life, didn't have so many affairs.

Tang Bohu is really a dissolute character. He was addicted to alcohol when he was young, "pretended to drink" as an adult, and used alcohol to drown his sorrows in his later years. Such a romantic legend, the description of him by later generations is somewhat added to his fictional image. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, there was a folk song "Nine Beautiful Pictures", which began to say that Tang Yin had married nine beautiful wives.

The fact is that Tang Yin was down and out all his life, and everything went wrong. In his poor situation, even food and clothing are a problem. How can he have a wife and concubine?
