However, Wang Bo paid attention to practical learning from an early age, cared about state affairs, and looked for opportunities to write hymns and recommend himself. The greatest victory of the foreign war in the early Tang Dynasty was the establishment of the northern frontier, but the rulers of the Tang Dynasty developed aggressive ambitions, relying on the strength of the country and soldiers in an attempt to harm the weak neighbors. As a result, it has brought many disadvantages. In the Mid-Autumn Festival in the first year of Linde (AD 664), Liu Xiangdao, the right-hand man, toured the customs. At the age of fifteen, he wrote a letter to Liu. The first article in the letter was to attack the aggressive policy of the Tang Dynasty and then crusade against North Korea. He believes: "It is useless to seal the land for thousands of miles; The diligent soldier is 180 thousand, and the emperor is tired. The police peak has passed, and Luo Qinzhi's field is dead; Flying millet, exhausting the cost of Huaihai. " It truly reflects the people's dissatisfaction. Liu Xiangdao was very surprised after reading it. He praised Wang Bo as a "child prodigy" and recommended it on the table.
In the first year of Ganfeng (AD 666), Emperor Gaozong issued a letter to open a branch in Su You. Wang Bo should be quiet and considerate, and his Taiwan policy is highly appreciated by Huang Fuchangbo, a member of the examiner's official department. And, worship for scattered lang. This book was introduced by Huangfu Changbo and edited by Ren Pei Wang Mi. In the Tang Dynasty, although the Ministry was not as good as the Ministry, and Zhao Saburo was only an official with seven products, he still accepted Wang Bo, who was seventeen years old. In Wang Fu, he won the favor of Pei Wang, which can be said to be the most proud time in his life. However, just when he dreamed of weaving the world with articles, a surprise attack fell on his head.
At that time, the game of cockfighting was popular in the court, and the kings also enjoyed cockfighting. On one occasion, Li Xian had a cockfight with the king of England. After all, Wang Bo is still young. He jokingly wrote an article "Chicken King" to attack the chicken king, so as to increase the fun of Pei Wang chickens. However, when this game was seen by the emperor, he was greatly dissatisfied and thought it was a "gradual change of friends". He immediately wrote to abolish the official position and expelled Pei on the same day. Wang Bo, a child prodigy, has just finished his official career with his own talent and painstaking efforts, thus ruined.
Cockfighting was originally a custom in the Tang Dynasty, and it was especially loved by upper-class aristocrats and their dude children. Under such a wind, the two kings will have a cockfight, and of course both families will come to cheer. Wang is above the rest and has a successful career. He wrote game words on a whim just for fun. However, under the specific circumstances at that time, it attracted a ruthless blow and affected my life. Of course, this has a profound background of the times.
In the early days of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, the struggle between kings for the throne and attacking each other never stopped. Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong, gained political power by killing his younger brothers Cheng Jian and Yuan Ji in the Xuanwumen Revolution. Tang Gaozong Li Zhi himself experienced a similar incident, so he paid special attention to it. Wang Bo's "The King's Chicken" inadvertently touched the most sensitive nerve of Emperor Gaozong, so it was considered as provoking the relationship between kings. It can be seen that Wang Bo's loss of office is not accidental, but the tension between the upper rulers for power and interests.
After such a blow, Wang Bo, a successful teenager, felt very heavy. In May of the second year of Tongzhang (AD 669), he left Chang 'an and went south to Shu, where he began his wandering career for nearly three years. The frustration of official career, the experience of life and the inspiration of mountains and rivers made Wang Bo write many poems expressing his feelings, mainly singing among friends, lamenting the difficulty of official career and some works expressing homesickness.
With his talent and arrogance, Wang Bo had a stiff relationship with his colleagues when Zhou Guo joined the army. He was dismissed because of his conviction. However, Wang Bo did not care about mountains and rivers as he did after his first dismissal, but cherished the rest of his life. "Wealth is not as good as floating clouds, and time is not as good as feet. Since then, I have written a lot of ambitions ... I care about my words and my heart. " In the second year, although the court restored Wang Bo's original post, he decided to abandon his official position for the people and no longer take office. In just over a year, Wang Bo completed sixteen missing articles in his grandfather Wang Tong's sequel, which was published in 25 volumes. He is the author of five volumes of Zhouyi Drama, Tang Family's Millennium Calendar, Ten Essays on How to Discuss, and Eighteen Essays on Li Bai's Chang Yan. At the same time, he also created a large number of poems and articles. This is the most prosperous period of Wang Bo's creation in his life.
In the spring of the second year of Shangyuan (AD 675), Wang Bo went south from his hometown in Longmen to visit his father. All the way through Luoyang, Yangzhou and Jiangning, and arrived in Hongzhou in early September. Here, Wang Bo left the famous Preface to Wang Tengting. This is a wonderful parallel prose, with gorgeous words, neat antithesis and natural momentum. There is no disease of piling up. This paper describes the scenery and grand banquet around the Wang Teng Pavilion, and the artistic conception is extremely open. Finally, I felt that when life met, I expressed my life experience, and my indignation was beyond words.
A talented and ambitious poet cannot display his talent and realize his ambition because of his environment and experience. He tends to be more active when he is depressed. We say "Preface to Wang Teng Pavilion" is the concrete embodiment of this talent and ambition, injustice and enterprising spirit. There is also a quite vivid story in the writing of preface to Wang Teng-ting. After the newly-built museum was completed, on the Double Ninth Festival, Governor Yan hosted a banquet in the museum to entertain guests and friends, and people from all over the world gathered together. Yan Gongyou's son-in-law is Wu, and the article is quite well written. Qi Huangong intended to show his son-in-law's literary talent at this grand event, so he asked Wu to write a preface for the pavilion in advance, and when the banquet was lit up, he thought it was an improvisation. At the banquet, Yan Gongguo really took out his own pen and ink and distributed it to every guest. Please write a preface for Wang Teng Pavilion. All the guests were afraid to be presumptuous in front of Gong Yan, the viceroy, and declined politely one by one. Only Wang Bo picked up a pen and paper and generously agreed. Gong Yan's purpose is to show off his son-in-law's talent, not to invite guests sincerely. Wang Bo's youthful spirit naturally aroused his dissatisfaction and contempt. So he let his attendants watch Wang Bo write. At first, Gong Yan heard that "Nanchang is an old county and Hongdu is a new house", shook his head and said that "this is also a cliche", and later heard that "the stars are divided into wings and meet Lu Heng", so he pondered silently and began to appreciate the extraordinary. When I heard that "sunset and loneliness, autumn water grow into one color", I was shocked and shouted: "I don't want to die!" He also praised Wang Bo and presented 100 brocade. This legendary plot was passed down as a much-told story for a while, and later generations also perfumed the story into scripts and plays, which have been passed down to this day.
Wu's preface to Wang Teng-ting has long been forgotten, but his preface to Wang Teng-ting has become an immortal work.
