On September 9, the satrap gave a big banquet in Wang Tengge, and ordered his son-in-law to make a preface to praise him. Because he had treated guests in various places, he dared not be a guest, but he did not leave. The viceroy was furious, got up and changed clothes, and sent officials to wait on him. Repeatedly reported, the language is strange, but I want to stop: "Genius!" Please write it down and enjoy it very much. It is not easy to drink a few liters of ink at first, then lie down with your face covered and write an article with a pen. At that time, people called Abreu a draft.

On September 9th, on the Double Ninth Festival, the Governor of the State of Yan gave a banquet to entertain the guests. In order to let the son-in-law show his talents in front of the guests, he has long been asked to conceive the preface, which makes people feel that it is an improvisation. At the beginning of the banquet, Yan humbly picked up a pen and paper and invited the guests to write down the preface one by one, but all the guests thanked him. It's the last guest's turn, Wang Bo. He is very young. He didn't dare to pick up a pen and paper, but he still sent it, which shows the "demeanor" of the governor. Wang Bo unceremoniously picked up a pen and paper. Yan was shocked, but there was nothing she could do. Then he left the banquet hall on the pretext of going to the toilet with a sad face, and privately taught his subordinate officers to observe the movement and keep informed. When I first reported "Nanchang old county, Hongdu new home", Yan said it was "a cliche"; The second report, "The Stars Spread Their Wings and Meet Lu Heng Ground", was silent; Three times, Yan suddenly stood up: "Genius! Genius! His articles can be passed down from generation to generation. " When Wang Bo wrote an article, he didn't think carefully at first. He grinded a lot of ink first, then drank it and was hypnotized. When he woke up, he began to write without changing a word. At that time, it was thought that Wang Bo had prepared a draft in advance.

1 Wang Bo (649 ~ 676) was a poet in the Tang Dynasty. The word zi an. Jiangzhou Longmen (now Hejin, Shanxi) people. Wang Bo and Yu Long are equally famous for their poems, and they are called "Wang Yu" and "two outstanding figures in the early Tang Dynasty". And Yang Jiong, Lu, and called "four outstanding men in the early Tang Dynasty", among which "four outstanding men in the early Tang Dynasty" was the highest. Wang Bo is the grandson of Wang Tong, a great scholar at the end of Sui Dynasty. Wang's second son was named Fu Jiao, and the second son was named Fu Zhi, and Fu Jiao was his father. He used to be Doctor Taichang, Yongzhou Secretariat, Jiaozhi County Order, Liuhe County Order and Governor of Qi State. It can be seen that Wang Bo grew up in a scholarly family. Wang Bo is also Wang Ji's nephew. Wang Bo's talent came out earlier, 14 years old, which should be mentioned. Later, his talent became more prominent. At that time, he was as famous as Yang Jiong, Lu and Liu, and was called the Four Masters of Early Tang Dynasty. Gan Fengchu (666), Li Xianzheng, Pei Wang, attended the Reading Palace. Two years later, he was expelled from the palace for his role in The King's Chicken. 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. His father was also involved and was demoted to toe order. In the second year (675) or the third year (676) of the Shang Dynasty, Wang Bo went south to visit relatives and drowned across the sea. His poems strive to get rid of Qi Liang's poetic style, and his prose is also famous. He wrote the famous preface to Wang Teng-ting.

Edit this paragraph, Governor Gong Yan (further reading)

Not long ago, when Liu Hong, the "Duke of Yan", visited Wang Teng Pavilion in Nanchang, Jiangxi, the commentator told many anecdotes about Wang Teng Pavilion with relish, among which the "wonderful" and "embarrassing" parts of "Duke of Yan" contributed greatly. Although this may not be all historical facts, it cannot be said without foundation. This "anecdote" was first seen in Tang Yan (Volume 5) written by Wang in the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties. However, it is still written in detail in the novel "Awakening the World", and I quote as follows: It is September 9. When Wang arrived at Shuaifu, he saw that the satrap of Yan State had indeed given a banquet, and invited the famous Confucian scholars, scholars and scribes from Jiangzuo to the hall ... There were other 100 people with lofty words and jade beads, all of whom were famous Confucian scholars in contemporary times. Wang Bo is very young and sits at the bottom of the seat. After a while, Qi Huangong stood up and said to the Confucians, "The old pavilion in Di Zi is the most beautiful place in Hongdu. Because I have harmed the public interest. As a great talent, I wrote this preface for Wang Tengting, carving stones as monuments to remember the future, leaving the United States famous in the world, so as not to lose its scenery. I hope that celebrities will not resign! " So he asked officials such as Zhu Yijun to come to Confucianism with pens and inkstones. People dare not take it lightly, one gives way to the other, from top to bottom, but it's Wang Bo's turn. Wang Bo didn't refuse, but accepted generously. Everyone in the room could see that Bob was young, but he was not beautiful when he looked strange. Whispering: "Is this boy He's son? Dare to be rude! " At this time, Gong Yan saw that Wang Bo had received the newspaper, and he was also very dissatisfied. So he got up and changed his clothes and went to a small hall. Without saying anything, Gong Yan thought to himself, "My son-in-law is from Changsha. His surname is Wu, his first name is Zhang. This man is the best in the world. Today, I invited Confucian scholars to write this record. If Confucianism gives in to each other, I will write this article for my family. It is He Xiaozi who dares to bully Confucianism in class and has no manners at all! " Tell officials to observe what they have done, and you can report it. For a long time, an official reported: "Zhang Yu is an old county, and Hongdu is a new house." Yan: "this is a cliche, no one will!" " An official reported again; "The stars are divided into wings, and the ground is connected with Lu Heng." Yan: "This story is also." Another official reported: "Three rivers lead to five lakes, and the Yi people were controlled, leading to Ouyue." Gong Yan didn't say anything. Another official reported: "if there is treasure, the dragon lantern shoots the bull market;" Outstanding people, Xu Ru down to Chen Fan's couch. Yan: "This son wants to see me." Another official reported: "Xiongzhou is foggy and colorful. At the turn of the end of summer, the host and guest are all in the southeast. Gong Yan moved slightly in her heart and thought, "This son is very talented and trustworthy!" Gong Yan secretly marveled at the reports of several officials. Another official reported: "The sunset is the same as the lonely Qi Fei." Gong Yan clapped her hands and said, "This son is a genius for writing with the help of God!" So I changed my clothes and went back to my seat. The host and the host's Confucianism turned pale ... A moment later, they were presented to Gong Yan. The public was overjoyed, so they ordered the Confucianism to be punished. One by one, his face was livid, and he dared not write a word ... Qi Huangong took Wang Bo's hand and sat in the seat on the left, saying, "Di Zi Pavilion has a long history; The words "A Son" make us elegant today and will be heard by later generations. Since then, Hongdu has been romantic, and mountains and rivers are priceless. I should be generous. " Now, anyone who interprets the Preface to Wang Teng Pavilion can't help mentioning this interesting "history". In fact, many records of "official history" can't be taken seriously, so we should look at the "unofficial history" quoted above from another angle. On the other hand, since it is clearly written in ancient books and widely known, it has become a historical fact that no one can deny, leaving only room for us to think about how to evaluate this solidified "history". Gong Yan in the story seems to be in sharp contrast with Wang Bo. One is a bureaucrat, the other is a gifted scholar; A wily, a don't know high and low; An embarrassment, a romance. This is a dramatic feature with twists and turns and suspense, and it is also in line with the civilian psychology of hating bureaucrats and sympathizing with vulnerable groups. However, no matter how the producer adapted it, Gong Yan would not be a villain, because Gong Yan's performance did not disappoint people. It was he who created the "Pen Club" and activated the situation of talent thinking that he was able to appreciate the talents of the country and gave Wang Bo the opportunity to display his talents, which led to the publication of Preface to Wang Tengting. "From then on, the capital is romantic and the country is priceless." Perhaps what people can't tolerate is Gong Yan's "selfishness": he gave a banquet to "invite Jiang Zuo to be a famous Confucian" and intended to preface Wang Tengting, as if "leaving a name for his son-in-law" in the name of a stone tablet. Here, no matter whether the words describing Gong Yan's psychological activities are true or not (the description of Gong Yan's embarrassment is purely artistic creation, because objectively speaking, the author can't go deep into Gong Yan's mind to see all Gong Yan's ideological activities, which is a bit "unwarranted"), even if it is true, Yan Fei, as the head of a county, should also leave a few good cards in her heart to ensure success. Besides, people have their own selfishness, and it is reasonable to make some small calculations. However, he did not carve "fantastic writing" on it (according to his power, it can be done completely), but adopted an open, fair and just way to let "scholar" and "jade pearl" splash ink freely and compete freely, and clearly stipulated that the winner would "keep a good name forever". On the other hand, recommending a virtuous person without avoiding his relatives is not "cheating". If his virtuous son-in-law has excellent works that can convince everyone and win prizes. Gong Yan is a good official. His "goodness" lies in his "courage". Traditionally, people spread by words and people spread by land. In Gong Yan's words, "the old pavilion in Di Zi is the best scenery in Hongdu", but if there is no masterpiece to set it off, it is inevitable that there will be some regrets, so I asked the great talents to preface it, "so as not to lose its scenery". As far as the present situation is concerned, developing tourism and revitalizing the local economy is also a "learning". At that time, Wang Bo was just a 65,438+04-year-old boy passing by to see his mother. He has no official position, but Gong Yan can invite him to the party. Similarly, "Please Write a Preface" fully shows that Gong Yan does not talk about social status, seniority, eclectic selection of talents and some "knowledge". He sneered at the well-known "platitudes", scoffed at the regular articles listing "stories" and had a good eye for innovative and wonderful words. When Wang Bo wrote the beautiful sentence "Sunset and lonely Qi Fei, autumn water together make the sky the same color", Gong Yan "didn't feel that he slapped his hand several times:' If God helps him, he must be a genius!" So he changed his clothes and went back to his seat. ""I took Wang Bo's hand and sat in the seat on the left and said,' The pavilion in Di Zi has a long history; The words "A Son" make us elegant today and will be heard by later generations. Since then, Hongdu has been romantic, and mountains and rivers are priceless. I should be generous. The position of Wang Bo's Preface to Wang Teng-ting in the history of China literature was confirmed in one fell swoop. Gong Yan is the midwife in Preface to Wang Tengting. Gong Yan is to Wang Bo what a director is to an actor and Bole is to a swift horse. Alas, people admire the beauty of lotus but forget the power of mud! "Gong Yan is from Macheng, Yan Jiahe. According to the "Macheng County Records" (Volume 19), "Yan Gong Bo Yu, a man, was a scholar in the Tang Dynasty. In the second year of Xianheng, he was the governor of Hongzhou. At that time, the levy was heavy, public schools recruited people with welfare, and the country was reorganized. Like literature, he once invited guests to Wang Teng Pavilion. Wang Bo, a gifted scholar, prefaces, which Gong Yan deeply appreciates. So far, translating Lin has been a beautiful talk. After moving to Fuzhou, the people followed suit one after another, and the boat voyage followed. They saw so much love, and after a year of caressing, they turned over a new leaf. Yuan Zongchao, assistant minister of the Ministry of Taxation, has not died yet. As can be seen from the article, Gong Yan "deeply appreciates" Wang Bo's literary talent, and he also has a lot of flattery to his loving husband. As for being an official, his achievements are very remarkable. "After the relocation to Fuzhou, people followed suit, and boats set sail. When they saw love, they went to caress for a year and recovered. Yuan Zongchao, assistant minister of the requisition department. "This shows Gong Yan's honest personality from the side. Therefore, the existence of Tengwang Pavilion in Hongdu is a blessing to everyone, Tengwang Pavilion is a blessing to pavilions, and it is a blessing to Bohe Pavilion! Why did Du Fu begin to be unhappy with Wang Bo's happy acceptance? The governor wanted his son-in-law to shine in front of all the guests, but Wang Bo was young and arrogant, so he was very angry. Unexpectedly, later, Wang Bo's articles became more and more novel, and the viceroy also convincingly changed his attitude. Please answer in your own words, what is the difference between Wang Bo's creative process? I didn't think much at first. I ground a few liters of ink, then drank it happily, then covered my face with a quilt and slept until I woke up. Never change a word.
