Extended data:

In fact, the four gifted scholars in Jiangnan are the evolution of the four gifted scholars in Wuzhong, which refer to Tang Bohu, Zhu Zhishan, Wen Zhiming and Xu Zhenqing. The TV series "Four Talented Talents in Golden Flower" tells that Suzhou is the four gifted talents, as well as Tang Bohu, Zhu Zhishan, Wen Zhiming and zhou wenbin. Tang, Zhu, Wen, and Zhou Qian are true in history.

The story of zhou wenbin and even "The Tiger King robbed his relatives" was later invented by scholars. The "Four Scholars of Wu Zhong" in history refers to Tang, Zhu, Wen and Xu, that is, writers of the Ming Dynasty, who are tied with others as "the first seven scholars". Their poetic style is clear, but they are not familiar with calligraphy and painting, and their personalities are different from those of the other three.

Probably for this reason, later the literati invented a beautiful zhou wenbin to make up the numbers. Zhou wenbin replaced Xu Zhenqing because Xu Zhenqing was ugly, so he was not noticed by the world at first. Beautiful zhou wenbin replaced Xu Zhenqing. It can be seen that folklore is not as reliable as legend. Unfortunately, today we rely on these legends and even rumors to know and discover the ancients and appreciate art most of the time.
