Why did Tong Pak Fu ever point out the fragrance of the autumn Wen / Sun Xilun
As for the widely circulated "Tong Pak Fu pointing out the fragrance of the autumn" and other amorous stories, purely novels, playwrights, fabricated, rendering.
As early as during the Jiajing or Wanli years of the Ming Dynasty, Xiang Yuanbian, a native of Jiaxing, wrote in his notebooks "Banana Window Miscellany" a story about Tang Pak Fu and Chou Hsiang. A little later, Zhou Xuanwei's Jinglin Miscellany contained a more detailed story about Tong Pak Fu and Qiu Xiang, which basically formed the prototype of the "Three Laughs". At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Feng Menglong compiled the story under the title of "Tang Xieyuan's Marriage with a Laugh" into the widely circulated book "Zhongshi tongyin" (A Cautionary Tale). At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Meng Shunqing wrote "A Laugh before the Flowers", and Shan Ren Yue wrote "The Marriage of a Flower Boat" and other miscellaneous dramas, which were performed on stage, and made it come into thousands of households. In fact, according to the "Tea and Guests" and "Ear Talk" and other notes, the history of the Ming Dynasty, there is indeed a piece of a servant girl and sold himself into slavery, but this is a scholar named Chen Lichao, good people attached it to the name of Tong Pak Fu. According to another historian, Qiu Xiang was a prostitute in Nanjing during the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty, surnamed Lin Nu'er, and her age was more than ten years older than Tang Pak Fu. And Hua Taishi was a native of Wuxi, to be 27 years younger than Tang Pak Fu. Therefore, Tang Pak Fu is with the "three smiles" marriage is not related.
Some of the opera will be portrayed as Tang Pak Fu has eight or nine wives are not satisfied with the colorful, lecherous, rogue, Wen Plankton, molesting women to the threshold of the number of his most refined, playing up to the trick to the number of his smartest, Tang Pak Fu in heaven, but also to complain about the injustice. This hundreds of years of "wrongdoing", it is time to revert to the upside down.
Tang Pak Fu is a poor man of letters, "looking back at the room, bottle ou broken, clothes and shoes outside, not have long things" (Tang Yin "and Wen Zhengming book"). He relied on the sale of paintings for a living, to maintain life is still difficult, which money to support eight or nine wives. In fact, Tang Yin did not have a concubine to marry a small, his original wife died of disease, the renewal of a see Tang Bohu to do the official hopeless back to him, and the last one of his girlfriends is called Shen Jiuniang, folklore for the ninth wife. In addition, another reason for the blackmail, I am afraid that the "flirt" word of different interpretations.
