Taohuawu Taohuaan, Taohuaan Taohuaxian;

This poem was written after Tang Bohu saw through the sinister official career in Tang Bohu at this time and no longer had any illusions about the imperial examination, because the imperial examination system deeply dampened Tang Bohu's self-esteem and became a major complex that he could not get rid of. With this understanding, you will know why he wrote like this!

After returning to his hometown, Tang Bohu had a better understanding of the vicissitudes and indifference of the world, so he built a Peach Blossom Temple villa in Taohuawu, Suzhou, and retired from then on, calling himself "the owner of the Peach Blossom Temple" and living a poetic personal life. On the surface, at this time, Tang Bohu had seen through the sinister official career and no longer had any illusions about the imperial examination. But in fact, the defeat of the imperial examination undoubtedly deeply hurt Tang Bohu's self-esteem and became a major complex that he could not get rid of. Otherwise, he will not be easily moved by Zhu and Ning Wang. Obviously, Tang Bohu gave Wang Ning another chance to enter his career. In addition, King Ning treated him with courtesy, hired him with a hundred dollars, and built a villa specially for him in Nanchang. I'm afraid it's hard for Tang Bohu to refuse. Unfortunately, once again, fate played a big joke on Tang Bohu. Wang Ning didn't really take a fancy to the talents in the Tang Dynasty, but just made a gesture of being a virtuous corporal for his rebellion. Tang Bohu, of course, soon saw Wang Ning's rebellious ambition and his ulterior motives. In order to get away, he had no choice but to pretend to be crazy and sell stupidity, which was both "pretending to be crazy and making wine" and "making a fool of himself". People from Wang Ning came to give gifts, food and clothes, but Tang Bohu sat cross-legged naked, cursing obscenity and mocking the emissary. Where has Wang Ning seen such a talented person? In disappointment, we can only let him go home.
