Tangxianzu statue
Tang Xianzu was born in a scholarly family, his grandfather Tang Maozhao was promoted to a "famous poet", his father Tang Shangxian founded "Tangjiaxue", his uncle Tang Shangzhi was engaged in opera, and his mother was familiar with poetry books. Tang Xianzu entered the family school at the age of 5, wrote poetry at the age of 12, and won the prize at the age of 2 1. His official career could have been smooth sailing, but the imperial examination system in the Ming Dynasty was corrupt and the examination became a behind-the-scenes transaction. Tang Xianzu refused to woo the Prime Minister and turned to Sun Shan. At the age of 34, Tang Xianzu became a scholar and entered a life full of thorns.
In the 11th year of Wanli, Wang Shizhen was prominent in Nanjing, and many people voted for him. Tang Xianzu and Wang are both brothers of Wang, but because of their different literary thoughts and interests, they have no contact. In order to expose the true face of the retro school, Tang Xianzu carefully read Wang's poems and pointed out that he plagiarized the poetry of Han and Tang Dynasties, which showed his belief in attaching importance to innovation and opposing retro. When I was a doctor at Taichang Temple in Nanjing, I was idle and bored. He often sings and learns knowledge with local poets and dramatists.
In the 19th year of Wanli, Tang Xianzu put forward his views on politics at that time and was exiled. Later, I moved to Suichang. In Suichang, he reduced bureaucracy, set up a shooting range and built an academy, so that the barren land gradually prospered. Later, Tang Xianzu was slandered by his political opponents for letting the prisoners go, so he couldn't bear to pay taxes to disturb the people and volunteered to resign.
Tang Xianzu despised powerful people all his life, remained indifferent and poor in his later years, and was fascinated by Buddhism. In his time, the struggle between literature and ideology was fierce. Tang Xianzu insisted on his own opinions and opposed Zhu Cheng Neo-Confucianism, which violated his personality. In literary creation, he first put forward this view. Luo Rufang, who read the Holy Book, and Li Zhi, a philosophical Zen master who opposed Neo-Confucianism, all had a profound influence on Tang Xianzu's creation.
Tang Xianzu's masterpiece "Tang Xianzu" was born in Linchuan, Jiangxi Province, and its meaning still exists, and it is known as Hairuo, Ruoshi and Qingyuan Taoist. He was a famous opera writer and litterateur in China in Ming Dynasty. The representative works of China's traditional operas include Peony Pavilion, Tale of Rebirth, The Story of Purple Hairpin, The Story of Conan and The Story of Handan, which are collectively called "Four Dreams in Linchuan", "Poetry", "I heard that Beijing is thirsty for rain" and "Tax Sharing in Hard Times". , and the novel "New Record of Continued Danger".

Tang Xianzu and Shakespeare are both masters in drama. It is true that we know that the country at that time was not as open as it is now, and the only way for the two masters to communicate is through spirit and soul.
Tang Xianzu Shakespeare
The environment of Tang Xianzu and Shakespeare is similar. Tang Xianzu lived in the Ming Dynasty, when politics, economy and culture were changing. For example, Wang Yangming opposed Zhu Cheng's Neo-Confucianism, thinking that it violated his personality. During the Renaissance in Europe, Shakespeare looked back on the practices of the Middle Ages and advocated humanistic spirit. Tang Xianzu and Shakespeare have different personal pursuits. Tang Xianzu was born in a scholarly family, and his elders were deeply impressed by him. Tang Xianzu expected to become an official in the DPRK through the imperial examination and realize the value of life politically. Unfortunately, the imperial examination system was chaotic and corrupt at that time, so Tang Xianzu had no choice but to quit the officialdom and return to his hometown to concentrate on drama creation. This can be said to be "the misfortune of officials and the happiness of poets." Shakespeare only wants to realize his artistic ideal on the stage of London drama, and does not want to occupy a place in politics. Both their works have changed from positive optimism to sadness and helplessness. Although Tang Xianzu's previous works were dissatisfied with the current social situation, they were still eager to be appreciated by the imperial court. After returning to my hometown to create, I have lost confidence in my career. When Shakespeare first started writing, Britain defeated other countries and the nation was full of confidence. Later, the pain of losing his son made his works show pessimism and disappointment. In any case, these two great dramatists are brilliant and should enjoy a worldwide reputation.

On the second floor, there is a stage called Simengtai, where dramatists often perform excerpts from Tang Xianzu's plays.
Yingbin Village is a rest area built near the water, with willows beside it, traffic outside the village, and thatched cottages hidden among the trees. The peasant atmosphere and rural scenery make people relax and linger.
