In the Tang Dynasty, everyone was rich because of wealth, and I was poor because of my official position, leaving behind an innocent ear. Wei Zhi Sui Shu? Fang Yan Qian carries on the family line, is strong and strong, and would rather be bald; Poverty is strong, not falling into the sky. -Wang Bo's Preface to Wang Tengting
Introduction to Wang Bo:
Wang Bo (650 -676 or 684) was born in Longmen, Jiangzhou (now Hejin, Shanxi). His grandfather was Wang Tong, a famous scholar in Sui Dynasty, and his father was Wang Fuchu, an official in Tang Dynasty. China, a writer and poet in the Tang Dynasty, is as famous as Yang Jiong, Lu and Luo in terms of poetry and prose, and is also called "Wang Luo" and "four outstanding figures in the early Tang Dynasty".
Wang Bo's talent was revealed very early. When he was a teenager, he was praised as a child prodigy by Liu Xiangdao, the governor of the imperial court. He recommended it to the imperial court and took countermeasures to seal him as a court official. In the first year of Emperor Gaozong's official seal (666), it was read as the official residence by Li Xian, the king of Pei. Two years later, because of his play Chicken of the King of England, he was angrily expelled from the palace by Emperor Gaozong. Then go to Bashu. In the third year of Xianheng (672), he made up his country and joined the army. He was punished for killing officials and slaves and was removed from the list when he was pardoned.
In the second year of Shangyuan (675), he went south with his father and returned the following year. He drowned across the sea and was in shock. Some scholars think that Wang Bo didn't drown. It is inferred from Preface to hanjiayuan in Jizhou, Preface to Self-injury in March and Letter to Wang Bo in the First Year of Civilization by Wang Chenglie that Wang Bo should have died in the first year of civilization at the age of 35.
Wang Bo advocated that literature should focus on "expressing ambition" and attach importance to the educational function of literature. At that time, the poetic style represented by Shangguan Yi prevailed in the literary world, and his poems were "strong but not empty, firm and moist, engraved without breaking, and strengthened by pressing", which played a great role in changing the atmosphere. There are more than 80 poems by Wang Bo, including more than 90 poems about fu and preface, table, tablet and fu.
Wang Bo's poems are mostly five-character poems and quatrains, among which Leaving Home is more famous. His specific works include Farewell to Du Shu, Lin, Lotus Picking Song, Long Autumn Night, Preface to Wang Tengting, etc. Wang Bo also wrote many academic works, including five volumes of Zhouyi and five volumes of The Analects of Confucius.
