As he himself described the life: "the horse flies a thousand miles and shoots a hundred The restaurant is full every day, and the magnificent song is used to build a noisy high-rise building. " In 1510, Changlun passed the Yayuan examination in the fifth year of Zhengde. In the next year, he was awarded the right Pingshi in Dali temple. Chang Lun, who first came into officialdom, still maintained his bold and unrestrained nature and arrogant personality. He could not stand the various commandments of feudal officialdom, which led to the dissatisfaction of many people in officialdom. Therefore, he was demoted as an external supplement in the investigation of Beijing officials. This is the reason why he only worked in Dali temple for more than four years.

comment

Scholars of all ages believe that learning from Sima Xiangru, Li Bai and Du Fu and reading Chang Lun's poems and songs, they feel that Chang Lun is most like Li Bai and Qu Yuan, but not like Du Fu or Sima Xiangru. Chang Lun also worships Qu Yuan and Li Bai and wants to do their business. It's hard to understand that Chang Lun's life end result also came from Qu Yuan and Li Bai. Qu Yuan drowned himself in the Miluo River and died. Li Bai caught the moon and fell into the river. Chang Lun also fell into the river after drinking and riding.

Historical evaluation

Chang Lun's life was short, but he was intelligent. He was proficient in poetry, calligraphy and painting. He was also proficient in temperament, especially in Yuefu lyrics. His works were well-known in Zeqin. In his composition, he stresses to be sincere and direct, and opposes to be buried in the pile of ancient sages and articles. He advocated a reasonable philosophy of life, despised "sages and sages", and attacked the stereotyped idea of respecting the ancients in everything. He created a lot of Xiaoling in his life, which was very popular among the lower class, but it was a slang that many scholars despised. In his body, there is a Confucian traditional thought of "governing the country and pacifying the world", and he also aims at helping the world and making contributions. However, after several ups and downs, he turned to seclusion and continued his Bohemian life. This is also a social product of the flourishing handicraft industry and commerce, the prosperous urban economy, and the active citizen class at that time. He would rather give up fame and wealth than follow the rules, which is the result of his pursuit of personality liberation. He mocked sages' doctrines with practical actions, which was as different as Tang Yin, sang Yue and others. His lack of talent is not only his personal tragedy, but also reflects the brand of the times for intellectuals. In a word, Chang Lun's life was different from that of the world. His personality liberation made a merciless mockery of feudal rule in the dark society at that time.
