I believe that many post-80s and post-90s have grown up watching Xingye's "Tang Bohu's Pen and Ink Surprise", Tang Bohu, as a rare poet and calligrapher in history, his life is also full of ups and downs. "Tang Bohu Pen and Ink Surprise" is a rare focus on the famous historical talent Tang Bohu's cultural suspense novel in recent years, the author Wang Hang, after in-depth study of Tang Bohu, is full of interest in Tang Bohu's strange life, today he shared some ideas for us to create this novel.
Author Wang Hang: Tang Bohu can be described as a well-known figure in China, and even when mentioning him, some people can also chant a sentence in passing: "Others laugh at me too crazy, I laugh at others can't see through it." In fact, like most readers, the first time I knew Tang Bohu was from Xingye's "Tang Bohu Dian Qiu Xiang". I think the most important reason why everyone can remember Tang Bohu at once is Tang Bohu's legendary life. Therefore, before I created "Tang Bohu's Pen and Ink Surprise", I thought that a character with such a wide range of recognition must arouse the interest of many people when he wrote it, right? So I decided to start looking for the real Tang Bohu.
Tang Bohu in history has been a "scholar bully" since he was a child. At the age of fifteen, he won the first place in the examination of the "Suzhou Fu" academy, which was full of talents. After that, he won the "first place" in a province. All students who pass these two exams are called "show talents" and "lifting people" respectively. Tang Bohu took two firsts at once, laying the foundation for him to win the title of "First Talent in Jiangnan".
In painting, he and Shen Zhou, Wen Qiming, and Qiu Ying are called "Wumen Four Families", and in the poems, together with Wen Qiming, Zhu Zhishan and Xu Zhenqing, they are called "Wuzhong Four Talents". In ancient times, "Wuzhong" is Suzhou and Hangzhou and the surrounding areas, from ancient times to the present, people are brilliant, there are many celebrities, and the competition is very fierce. It can be seen that Tang Bohu not only studied well, but also excelled in poetry, calligraphy and painting.
But Tang Bohu also has another side of himself - in the years before Tang Bohu participated in the township examination, he ushered in the darkest moment in his life. After the death of his father Tang Guangde, his mother, sister, and even his wife and children died one after another, and Tang Bohu had white hair overnight. When my Tang Bohu appeared in "Tang Bohu Pen and Ink Surprise", it was also at this time. I think he should have been in a state of mind that was "disheartened" and "borrowed wine to dispel sorrows". Soon after, he separated from his younger brother Tang Shen. So I cut from this point to present the story of Tang Bohu.
Of course, if Tang Bohu's life behind him had been smooth sailing, it is likely that he would not have passed on the reputation of "talent" to this day. The biggest ordeal in Tang Bohu's life, and the biggest turning point, was after achieving the "solution". In the year he took the exam, he was unfortunately involved in the storm of the "fraud case". In order to find out the ins and outs of this matter, I went through a lot of historical materials, and the most impressive thing to me was the final conclusion in the "Biography of Cheng Minzheng", "The secret of the matter is not able to mingya." Therefore, in the end, it ended with "there is a reason for the incident, and there is no solid evidence".
That is to say, whether Tang Bohu participated in fraud or not became a "suspense case". After that, Tang Bohu returned to Jiangnan, and his career was completely hopeless, and he did not want to become a local official, and since then he has "never wanted to make a name, indulged in poetry and wine, and sent his intentions to calligraphy and painting."
This was the biggest event that affected Tang Bohu's life, and I had no reason not to grasp it. Therefore, on the basis of real historical materials, I want to recreate the beginning and end of the case in the style of a suspense novel, and provide another reasonable answer to this suspenseful case.
In addition to the "fraud case", there are many strange cases experienced by Tang Bohu in the series "Tang Bohu's Pen and Ink Surprise". For example, when Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, plotted a rebellion, because he admired Tang Bohu, he tried to find a way to go in and win over. In the end, Tang Bohu escaped by pretending to be crazy and selling stupidity. This also shows that Tang Bohu is not a "scholar" who can only recite poems and paint, perhaps he is also a resourceful "military master".
Another example: When I was looking up Tang Bohu's family tree, I accidentally found that Tang Bohu's ancestor Tang Tai, the "near branch", was the head of the military car during the orthodox years of the Ming Dynasty, and unfortunately died in the civil engineering disaster. Through the cross-time comparison and the study of Tang Bohu's related materials, combined with the fiction and imagination of novel creation, another possibility is found for the relationship between the characters, making the novel look more readable.

I also hope that the novel is more in line with the characteristics of cultural suspense novels, and through the novel, Tang Bohu's poetry and painting can also be fully displayed, so I skillfully integrate some of his representative works into the "puzzle solving" section of the story. For example, the popular "Peach Blossom Anthem", through the disassembly and analysis of this poem, connects the entire story of "Tang Bohu's Pen and Ink Surprise". #紫焰小说读书会 #
