What was the final outcome of the four great talents in Jiangnan in history?

The four great talents in the south of the Yangtze River have various interpretations in various film and television dramas, but they are all Tang Bohu, Zhu Zhishan, Wen Zhiming and zhou wenbin that we agree with.

But in real history, there is no such person as zhou wenbin in the "Four Masters of Wumen". In other words, zhou wenbin is a fictional character, and another real gifted scholar is named Xu Zhenqing. Many interesting things have happened to these four people, so what is the ending of these four people?

Tang Bohu:

Tang Bohu is the first of the four gifted scholars, but he also experienced the most ups and downs. He was born as a businessman, but he was smart since he was a child. He studied hard at home, was admitted to a scholar at the age of sixteen and married a contented wife. It can be said that at this time, Tang Bohu is in the most proud stage of his life.

But then, his parents, wife and sister died one after another, which can be said to be a loner. Tang Bohu was devastated by this. Finally, with the help of Zhu Zhishan, she stood up again and decided to take the imperial examination again and continue to marry.

At the age of 28, Tang Bohu took part in the provincial examination in Yingtianfu and became the first Xie Yuan. You know, Tang Bohu got the first place in the south of the Yangtze River and was the top scholar. It can be said that there is no problem in the exam.

But because he was too wild, he boasted that he could go to high school before the exam, which really ranked first. Tang Bohu, who was likely to have three yuan and three yuan, was involved in cheating in the exam because of his wild words before the exam, and never got on the official career again.

At this time, his remarried wife also left him, and he had to make a living by selling paintings, which was very miserable. At the age of 45, he was hired as a guest of Ning. At first, he thought he could show his ambition, but in the end, he found that Wang Ning was going to rebel. In order to save his life, Tang Bohu can only pretend to be crazy and sell stupidity before he can escape from Ningwangmi.

Tang Bohu, who eventually returned to his hometown, still had to sell paintings for a living and lived a poor life until he died at home at the age of 53.

Zhu Zhishan:

Zhu Zhishan's calligraphy is unique and unique, and he is a very famous calligrapher. He was admitted as a scholar at a young age, but because of his ordinary appearance and six fingers on his left hand, he called himself Shan Zhi.

Although he is brilliant, his luck in the exam is very bumpy. Five provincial exams, seven failed. Finally, even my son was admitted to Jinshi. In this case, Zhu Zhishan decided not to carry out scientific research any more. He was an official as a juren.

Juren's identity is actually very despised, even if it is officially granted, it is a relatively remote place. Zhu Zhishan was finally sent to Guangdong as a county magistrate and later became a judge. It can be said that Zhu Zhishan's official career is smooth sailing, but with the pride of literati, he doesn't like some behaviors of officialdom, and his family conditions are better. He didn't care about the salary, so he simply resigned and went back to his hometown.

Zhu Zhishan and Tang Bohu began to travel and died at home shortly after Tang Bohu's death.

Wen Zhiming:

Wen Zhiming is actually the son of an official, and his father is a judge. Although he became famous when he grew up, he was stupid when he was a child. It was not until he was about ten years old that his family discovered that the slow-witted child was actually very talented.

Because of the better conditions at home, he is very good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is known as the "four musts".

However, Wen Zhiming took the same road as Zhu Zhishan. He failed in the exam ten times. Finally, at the age of 54, he was recommended as Gong Sheng by People and became a candidate for the college.

Birds of a feather flock together, and people are divided into groups. Because the four gifted scholars are good friends, their three views are also relatively consistent. Therefore, after Wen Zhiming entered the Imperial Academy, he was also an honest and frank temper, and he didn't care about the dignitaries as their agents. Being excluded, Wen Zhiming quickly resigned and went home.

Wen Zhiming's calligraphy and painting are necessary, so many people come to him for pen and ink. Wen Zhiming had a low opinion of himself and basically took everything, so Wen Zhiming lived comfortably in his later years.

Wen Zhiming died sitting while writing his mother's epitaph. At that time, he was 90 years old, so the ending was better.

Fourth, Xu Zhenqing.

Xu Zhenqing's paintings and calligraphy are average, but his poems and essays are wonderful, ranking first in the south of the Yangtze River. At the age of sixteen, he published his own poetry anthology, which can be said to be a gifted scholar and a beautiful woman.

Although Xu Zhenqing failed in the first few scientific examinations, he was finally admitted to Jinshi after many twists and turns. However, Xu Zhenqing's appearance is completely devoid of the essence of Jiangnan gifted scholar. It is said that he is so ugly that even the emperor dare not see him. Because an official also represents the image of the country, he was not given an official because of his looks.

Therefore, Xu Zhenqing, whose official career was not smooth, could only dedicate his talents to religion and began to study the methods of Taoist health and longevity. Unfortunately, it didn't end well, and he died young at the age of 33.

Although these four gifted scholars are very famous in Jiangnan, they are all people with bad official careers, which is also related to their personalities. Everyone was drunk and I woke up alone, so all four of them had a sighing fate in the social environment at that time.
