Wang Bo's "Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng" is a highly acclaimed essay known for its beautiful words, profound connotations, and rich allusions. The article not only cites a lot of allusions, but also creates a lot of idioms, such as the sentence "Luoxia and the lonely bird fly together,."
Autumn water is a long sky" is a swan song for the ages. However, Wang Bo's life was quite bumpy, and he died young, leaving behind eternal regrets. Some people said that if Wang Bo had not died early, perhaps the first position of Tang Shi would not have been Li Bai's.
But this assumption is meaningless, because Wang Bo, Li Bai, Du Fu and others have their own excellence and are irreplaceable. Wang Bo was born in a family of eunuchs, and his family background is eye-catching. He has been influenced by his grandfather Wang Tong since he was a child, and has dabbled in a wide range of books
Demonstrated exceptional talent. At the age of 16, he became a Jinshi in Youzhou and officially entered the official career, but his career was bumpy. An incident with Li Xian, the king of Pei, led to his expulsion from Chang'an, and his road to official status was cut off. And the other choice directly ruined his life
During his time in the army, he was imprisoned for privately executing officials and slaves. This incident not only caused him to almost die, but also implicated his father Wang Fuqi and was relegated to Jiaozhi County. Frustrated, Wang Bo decided to go south to visit his father
Two far-reaching events happened on the way: he created the "Preface to the Pavilion of King Teng" and the "Relic Pagoda Tablet of Baozhuangyan Temple in Guangzhou". However, in 676 AD, Wang Bo unfortunately drowned in the sea on the way back and died young. It is worth mentioning
After the preface to the Pavilion of King Teng spread to Chang'an City, it aroused the great interest of Gaozong Li Zhi, but he was very sorry after learning that Wang Bo had drowned, and admitted that it was wrong to drive Wang Bo away in the first place. Although Wang Bo's life was short, he left behind those immortal famous articles
It has become a good story through the ages. All in all, Wang Bo's ill-fated life did not delay him from creating many outstanding literary works, which still shine brightly today. While we admire his work,
We should also reflect on the impermanence and accidents of life and cherish everything in front of us. Do you think that many of Wang Bo's works still influence today's literary creation?Feel free to leave a comment to share your thoughts.
