Life of the characters

Childhood

Wang Tingchen was an intelligent young man. He was a member of the Wenjin Academy. He was a chivalrous and proud man. Wang Ji, Wang Tingchen's father, was a doctor in the official department. Wang Tingchen likes to play since he was a child. When his father whipped him, he cried out, "how can you abuse the world's celebrities?"

official career

In the 12th year of Zhengde (1517), Wang Ting, Chen Zhong, became a scholar and elected a good scholar. When Emperor Wuzong of Ming Dynasty issued an imperial edict to inspect the south, Wang Tingchen and Shu Fen, who were in the same hall, wanted to give advice. But Shi Xuan, the master of the hall, tried his best to stop it. Wang Tingchen satirized him with "Wu Mu ballad" in large font on the wall, which made Shi Xuan and the ruling in the hall unhappy. Later, Shangshu made the emperor angry, and Wang Tingchen was punished to kneel for five days, and was given a ting staff. Originally, he had changed the official section to the middle of the affair, but he was sent to Yuzhou.

According to Meng Ze Ji, Wu Mu ballad should be as follows:

Wu's mother said Wu's son: if you're near, don't cry. Yi people know that you will return, but I fly high, can an save you?

Wang Tingchen was not good at handling local government affairs, and his dereliction of duty led to popular resentment. He ignored the backlog of cases on the table. When it was hot in summer, he went to the court barefoot. When he saw a bird flying by, he immediately stopped questioning and took out a slingshot to hit the bird. There are officials from above to inspect, and he doesn't welcome them.

Later, Chen Fengwu and Yu Maojian came one after another. Because Chen Fengwu was the chief examiner, Wang Tingchen went out to meet him. Chen Fengwu said, "it's good for you to wait on me. The censor is coming soon. You should be more careful when you wait on him." Wang Tingchen agreed. When Yu Maojian arrived, because Wang Tingchen was usually arrogant, Yu Maojian consciously wanted to reduce and restrain his prestige. Because of a little mistake, he tied up one of Wang Tingchen's subordinates and beat them up. Wang Tingchen knelt down to ask for forgiveness, but Yu Maojian was more severe. "Chen damned me," Chen damned me He went straight to the court to fight with Yu Maojian, called out all the officials, locked the door, cut off all the supplies, and played all the things. Yu Maojian is very embarrassed. Chen Fengwu helps Yu Maojian out, so Yu Maojian leaves overnight.

Before long, Yu Maojian impeached Wang Tingchen. At the same time, the people who complained in Yuzhou but were not tried stood up. He did not deal with political affairs. Wang Tingchen was arrested, jailed, dismissed and returned to his hometown. After emperor Shizong succeeded to the throne, all the people who had been demoted before were restored to their original posts, but because of the special situation, the ministers decided not to restore them.

Seclusion

Wang Tingchen has lived in seclusion for more than 20 years. He likes drinking and listening to music. At the same time, his behavior is more and more unrestrained. When the scholar officials visited his house, he often had disorderly hair, bare feet, and did not pay attention to the courtesy of the host and guest. He often dressed casually, rode on oxen and horses, traveled in the Royal ancestral temple of Shiziya, Confucius River Wenjin academy, and sang in the countryside.

In the 18th year of Jiajing, the emperor issued an imperial edict to revise the great ambition of Chengtian. Governor Gu Li recommended Wang Tingchen, Yan Mu and Wang Ge. After the revision of the whole book, the emperor was not satisfied with it. He just rewarded them with some silver coins.

In the 29th year of Jiajing, Wang Tingchen died.

Character evaluation

Scholars in Ming and Qing Dynasties highly praised Wang Tingchen's poems, especially his five character poems. Wang Shizhen's Yiyuan Zhuoyan called him "five character poems are especially from the Great Wall". "Chen Tian's chronicle of Ming poetry also spoke highly of his works.

Huangfulan said that he "wrote ancient Yuefu Poems with Pan Lu's style and Yin he's style; wrote five or seven rhymes with Shen Du's style and Lu Luo's style; wrote Zuoshi's and Guoyu's style and galloped to banma's; wrote Tokyo's letters and urged CAI to be immortal.".

personal works

Gu Yu, governor of Hubei Province, recommended Wang Tingchen to take part in the revision of Chengtian Dazhi in 1539. If the book is finished, it will go back to its hometown without silver reward. Only 23 volumes of Mengze Ji have been handed down. It is said in the history of Ming Dynasty.

There are two main contents in Wang Tingchen's poems. One is to show the misery of one's life experience. "Dengyuzhou short song" vividly describes the situation of "binding my prison car": "before my death, I came from a strong mind, when I was in the prison car. Sasa startled wind to the city volume red fog destroyed maple. People in the city look at each other, but outside the city there is a bridle. On the road, the setting sun sweeps the frozen curtain, and the wild geese sing and burst into tears. Why is it too hard to be an official in life? He has no money and is captured. "His poems such as yonghuai, xinglunnan, Zaixing, zashi and BIE zhangziyan all chant this theme repeatedly. The second is to describe their leisure mood after returning to their homes, which is often reflected by poems about "spring outing", "leisurely walking" and "sitting at night".

Wang Tingchen is good at five ancient and five temperament. The five ancient times can integrate lyric, narrative and discussion, which has strong artistic appeal. For example, the third part of farewell to Cao Zhongli. Its five laws pay more attention to the refinement of sentences, such as "the first month hanging on the maple bank, the afterglow falling in love with the bamboo leaf" (late spring by the stream), "the spring water at the edge of the fence, the warm clouds at the eaves" (spring day and mountain dwelling), and "the collection of autumn moths and candles, the opening of curtains and the passing of evening birds" (sitting at night), all have dynamic picture beauty, which can arouse readers' poetic imagination.

He has 23 volumes of Mengze collection.
