Tang Yin's great-grandfather has been doing business in Suzhou for generations, and his parents have opened a restaurant in Gao Qiao. Tang Yin was gifted since childhood, and he was familiar with four books and five classics, and exhibited historical books such as Historical Records and Selected Works of Zhaoming. Chen Zhou, a famous painter who loves painting and is good at it, studied under Shen Zhou. /kloc-at the age of 0/6, he took the boys' exam and passed the county exam, the government exam and the academy exam, ranking first in high school. In the 11th year of Hongzhi in Ming Dynasty (1498), he went to Beijing and obtained the first place in Xieyuan. The following year, Tang Yin went to Beijing to audition and was demoted as a Zhejiang official on suspicion of taking bribes in Cheng. Tang Yin was ashamed of being an official. After returning to China, he indulged in drinking and was arrogant and unruly.
At the age of 365,438+0, Tang Yin began to "walk Wan Li Road", covering Nanzhi, Zhejiang, Anhui, Hunan, Hubei, Fujian and Jiangxi provinces. Being poor, I make a living by selling paintings. Tang Yin is good at painting landscapes and meticulous figures, especially ladies, with elegant and clever brushwork. "Tang painting" was inherited by later painters. Works handed down from ancient times include Riding a Donkey, Autumn Wind and Sailing, Li, Marriage of a lifetime, Song of Mountain Road and so on. Poetry includes the complete works of six rulers.

He lived mainly in Taohuawu for the rest of his life, and his major works of art were also produced here.
In his later years, Tang Yin's spirit was empty, and he "converted to Buddhism, named Liu Ru". His thoughts tended to get rid of depression and he renamed his house buddhist nun. In the second year of Ming Jiajing (1523), Tang Yin died at the age of 54. Tang Yin's Tomb, located in huqiu district, was renovated and opened to the public on October 22nd, 1986.
Ladies' painting reached its peak because of its natural and elegant, wild and uninhibited features, and the seal of "the first romantic talent in the south of the Yangtze River", so it was misunderstood by later generations, leaving many romantic legends, such as "Tang Bohu Chou Xiang San Fen" and so on. In fact, his life was bumpy, poor and miserable. It can be described as a typical example of China's ancient intellectuals' unsatisfied ability to serve the country.
