Tang Bohu is proficient in poetry and was born in a merchant family in Suzhou, with outstanding literary talent. At the age of sixteen, he won the top prize. After that, his family suffered misfortune one after another. First my parents died, then my wife and beloved sister died one after another. In 498, Tang Bohu took part in Yingtianfu Township Examination and won the first place. Tang Yin, who has a good eye for his career, is full of ambition at this time.
And Zhu Zhishan is also very talented, and his talent is not lost to Tang Bohu in history. But he was born with six fingers on his left hand and was ugly, so he laughed at himself and nicknamed himself Shan Zhi. Although Zhu Zhishan has six fingers, his handwriting is excellent. He was a famous calligrapher at that time and was worthy of the reputation of the four great talents. However, although brilliant, his career is very bumpy.
Xu Zhenqing: Left assistant minister of Dali Temple, later demoted to Dr. imperial academy. He was once called "the first seven sons" with He Jingming and Li Mengyang. In some TV dramas, the four talented people in the south of the Yangtze River generally refer to Tang Bohu, Zhu Zhishan, Wen Zhiming and zhou wenbin, and they all failed the list. As for Xu Zhenqing, although he was very clever when he was a child, he didn't have a library at home, so he didn't have the opportunity to study, so he tried and tested in his early years.
Later, he entered the Zhu shogunate of Ning Wang, and found that the latter deliberately pretended to be crazy and sold stupidly after the rebellion, forcing Ning Wang to let him go back to his original place to avoid being hurt. He died at home at the end of the second year of Jiajing, namely 1524 65438+10.4, at the age of 54, leaving only one daughter.
Xu Zhenqing, as well as Zhu Yunming, Tang Yin and Wen Zhiming, is known as the "Four Masters of Wuzhong". Among them, Tang Yin is known as the first of the four great talents in the south of the Yangtze River, and is equally famous with Tang Bohu.
