Tang Yin (1470- 1523) was a famous painter, calligrapher and poet in the Ming Dynasty. His real name was Bohu, and later he was renamed Wei Zi. His name was Liu Ruju, owner of the Peach Blossom Temple, Tang Sheng of the State of Lu, and a monk.
When I was 30 years old, I went to Beijing to take an exam, but because of the exam, I was dismissed and my wife remarried. My life is bumpy. After that, he traveled to famous mountains and rivers and became famous all over the world for selling literature and paintings.
In his early years, he studied painting with Shen Zhou, Chen Zhou, Zong, Liu Songnian, etc., and integrated the North and South painting schools, with delicate brushwork, sparse layout and elegant style. Portrait painters inherit the tradition of the Tang Dynasty, with bright and elegant colors, beautiful posture and accurate modeling; He is also a freehand brushwork figure, and his pen is concise and interesting. His flower-and-bird paintings are good at freehand brushwork and free and easy. Calligraphy is fantastic and handsome. Take Zhao Mengfu for example.
Poetry, together with Zhu Yunming, Wen Zhiming and Xu Zhenqing, is called "four gifted scholars in Wuzhong". In painting, Shen Zhou, Wen Zhiming and Chou Ying are also called "Four Wu Men", also known as "Ming Sijia".
Tang Yin's works include Homesickness by Riding an Donkey, Song of Mountain Road, Mingming Map, Prostitute of Wangshu Palace, Birthplace of Li Duanduan, Fanfan Map of Autumn Wind, Drowning and other paintings, which are collected in major museums all over the world.
