Does the autumn fragrance in Tang Bohu really exist?
Tang Bohu's "Lighting Chou-heung" is just a fictional folk story, not true. In fact, the real Tang Bohu is not romantic and chic. At the age of 29, he went to Nanjing after taking the provincial examination, and won the first prize of Xie Yuan. He was imprisoned by Julian because he was involved in the fraud in the imperial examination, and later he became an official. He lived a rough and poor life, making a living by selling paintings, and was good at painting landscapes, flowers, birds and ladies. Chou-heung was a real person, a famous brothel woman at that time, ten years older than Tang Bohu. "Tang Bohu lights autumn fragrance" is a folk legend, but it still spreads through the ages and lasts for a long time. People would rather accept the fictional artistic image of Tang Bohu than the real Tang Bohu, who is talented but not romantic.
