Tang Xianzu is from Linchuan, Jiangxi. I went to Beijing to take the exam at the age of 28, and my name was resounding. 159 1 year, he went to listen to a lecture on "On Assisting Ministers and Disciplining Ministers" and criticized the state affairs by leaps and bounds. As a result, he was demoted as a courtier in xuwen county, Guangdong. Xuwen is located in the west of Guangdong, far away from the capital, remote and desolate, and its canon history is even smaller than that of the county magistrate. However, Tang Xianzu is optimistic. He said: "I had a dream of floating mountains all my life, and I couldn't get a thunderstorm canopy, Gehongdan well and Mafubo bronze column, so I had a vacation for a while." Why should I destroy Lujia and establish Nanyue? "
On the way from Nanjing to Xuwen, first visit Luofu Mountain in Guangzhou, 159 1 and then arrive at Xiangshan County. At that time, Macao was under the jurisdiction of Xiangshan County, and Portuguese people lived in Macao. Tang Xianzu took the opportunity to visit Macao. He saw foreign businessmen and girls in cross-dresses, foreign churches with unique styles, and ancient temples on the island of Macao, and asked the interpreters about the Portuguese emigration to Macao. Tang Xianzu once wrote the poem "Xiang 'ao meets Jia Hu", and the "Xiang 'ao" in the poem title refers to Xiang 'ao, that is, Macao. "Hu Jia" refers to foreign businessmen. In addition, he also wrote two songs, Listening to Xiangshan Translator and Fragrant Slogans Collected by Fragrant Fragrant Fragrant Fragrant Fragrance.
1598 Tang Xianzu abandoned his official position and returned to Linchuan. A brief introduction to the Peony Pavilion written by Tang Xianzu. I wrote a book to express my incompetent experience. Macau is where I went to Xuwen. When I mention Macao, I naturally think of that bumpy experience.
When someone commented on the sentence "Xiangshan Oliba" in The Peony Pavilion, he thought that "Ba" was the March 8th Temple of the Jesuits in Macao. This is a problem. The March 8th Temple in Macau was initiated by Italian priests of the Jesuits in Rome in 1594, the foundation stone was laid in 1602, and it was completed in 1638. However, Tang Xianzu arrived in Macau in 159 1 and left Xuwen for Linchuan in the following year, and has never been to Macau again, so
