I believe many people will not be unfamiliar with the story "San Xiao's Wedding". The salt version of San Xiao's marriage is actually the descendant of this story that has been circulating for hundreds of years.
In fact, the prototype of San Xiao's story appeared as early as the Yuan Dynasty. In the article "The Evolution of Marriage in San Xiao" published in Literature 1 July, 936, Zhao said that it originated from George's play "Li Taibai Allowed Money" in Yuan Dynasty. Xianzu Ye's zaju "Lian Bi Embroidery Symbol" in Ming Dynasty is also very similar to this. Similar stories are also recorded in notes, such as Lv Yao's "Lu Shu", which records that Chen Xuanchao, a native of Wujiang, married Ugly Xiang; Wang Tonggui said in Ear Talk that a Taoist priest in Jiangyin married Chou-heung. Tang Bohu's perfunctory story began with Zhu Jimei's note "Listening under the Tung". The full text is only over 100 words, and the transcript is as follows: China scholar Wumen, Hongshan Xizhou, saw a man in the neighboring ship, and he made an independent pot of wine and poured it with a huge glass of wine, which was extremely scolding. He immediately raised his glass enthusiastically and made a gesture of sucking, but he didn't care, screaming furiously, because he wanted to drink Chinese wine, so he couldn't help it. Hongshan looked at it for a long time and said, "This is a celebrity." . Inquired, it was Tang who solved Yuan Zi's fear, and I was very happy. He is so proud of his clothes that his son is afraid of his head. He talked about banter and negotiation, so he felt a slap in the face and smiled happily. At dusk, I was drunk again. When talking and laughing, Hua Jiaji peeped through the curtains and smiled. Wei Zi impressed Hongshan with Nv Jiao, and Hongshan responded with China Jiuge.
Some people suspect that Nv Jiao is Nv Jiao's Fu in the Complete Works of Tang Bohu, but it doesn't matter. In Listening to Songs under Tung, Tang Bohu was first associated with Hua Hongshan and Xiao Ji. Although it has nothing to do with marriage, it is destined to peep through the curtains. Since then, Xiang's Miscellaneous Notes on Banana Window recorded the story of selling oneself into slavery in pursuit of Chou-heung. Later, He Dacheng published The Complete Works of Tang Bohu in Wanli, only a few decades after Tang Bohu's death. Both External Editor and Stealing History written by Yin Shousheng are recorded. Yin Shousheng also wrote this matter into the seventy-second biography of Tang Yin as the official history. The records in Lin Jing Miscellaneous Notes, with a full text of more than 1,000 words, were included in Love History edited by Zhan Waishi. Neighbors all think that Zhan Zhan unofficial history is Feng Menglong's, so it is natural to think that the marriage of Tang Jieyuan and Xiao Yi in Shi Jing Tongyan Volume 26 is based on Lin Jing Miscellaneous Notes. Because in this novel, Tang Bohu sells herself as a slave to study as a companion, wins Chou-heung's favor, and finally carries the United States back to the Soviet Union. Notes "Lin Jing Miscellaneous Notes", Tanci "Laughing at the Edge" and novel "Warning" are all works of the Ming Dynasty, which shows that this love affair with Tang Yin was only known shortly after his death. Even the famous Yuan Zhonglang in the late Ming Dynasty seemed to believe it. He wrote in the Complete Works of Tang Bohu. The eyebrows in the chronicle say, "This woman is not vulgar. If you are afraid of being an opponent, you can also laugh at it. However, the child's fear can also be described as a caring person. "This is the prototype of San Xiao's story. Since then, in modern times, especially in San Xiao, all kinds of local operas and quyi have been added with songs and movies, which have been transplanted one after another and become well-known stories for women and children. As mentioned earlier, the Luo and Henan operas, pingtan and so on. Teresa Teng sang the song "New San Xiao Karma" and Stephen Chow starred in "Wulitou".
San Xiao's story is attached to a famous person. It is not surprising that Tang Bohu must be the protagonist in studying Tang Yin's life. Since he was a teenager, he has been less formal. Huang Lu once said in Wu Zhong Gu Shi that he was "young and smart, with beautiful and elegant poems, but broad and bold temperament." Dressed up as a government student, making friends with Zhang Ling, standing in the pool and fighting with their hands, this is called a water war. "Waiji" also recorded such a thing: he "celebrated his birthday with Zhang and Zhu Yunming, tasted the rain and snow as a beggar's drum festival, sang lotus flowers, and sold wine in the wild temple after he got the money, saying,' I'm so happy that I don't want Taibai to know'. "Such strange behavior is really rare. Due to the despair of his career and bumpy life, Tang Bohu became more and more depressed and his life became dissolute. When reading and painting, he often drinks and gets himself drunk. And there are indeed things like sleeping in brothels, drinking with prostitutes and writing poems for prostitutes.
People with one voice attributed San Xiao's story to Tang Bohu. Although this is bizarre, it does make sense. Various versions of Tang Bohu's stories are mainly manifested in his natural arrogance and the true nature of a talent in the game world, all of which are inherited from the Tang Dynasty's contempt for traditional morality and subversion of secular norms. Tang Bohu is the only person in Wuzhong who can abandon ethics, transcend fame, and pursue happiness, love and personality freedom naked. Tang Bohu's fall, even behind him, presumably only he has the courage to bear such romantic rumors.
Tang Bohu's actions are quite different from the values of the mainstream society, but his love affair is respected and talked about by the public, and the subtleties are really intriguing.
In fact, the evolution of Tang Bohu's story conveys a collective subconscious of the lower class. Among them, decadent scholars regard Tang Bohu as a distant confidant, while secularists regard Tang Bohu's affair as a talk after dinner. They not only tolerated all Tang Bohu's indiscretions, but also regarded his behavior of soliciting prostitutes and whoring as the essence and privilege of a gifted scholar. Perhaps the secular life in ancient China was too heavy. Whether they are literati or secular people, they all need an unruly image to express their repressed wishes, and they also need to find a concrete sustenance for their ideals. The formation of Tang Bohu's folk image, on the one hand, is of course due to the existence of a large number of drunken poets in Tang Bohu, on the other hand, it also reflects the yearning and pursuit of the lower class for a flexible and flexible poetic life. They convey their deeply repressed subconscious in the shaping of "romantic talents", which will be more vivid and touching if they are attached to Tang Bohu. From this point of view, Tang Bohu's image is actually the result of numerous collective creations-comparing the comic image of Tang Bohu in folklore with the tragic fate of Tang Bohu in real life, between great sorrow and great joy, let us appreciate the fate of ancient literati a little more.
