The fate of the four heroes of the early Tang Dynasty was very bumpy

One drowned, one escaped, and the other two were forgotten by us.

So miserable.

It's dripping, Wang Bo is drowned.

Then I forgot how Yang Jiong died (the one who said "ashamed of Lu Qian, ashamed of the queen") Lu Zhaolin had a stroke for ten years and then threw himself into the water.

Luo Bin Wang helped Xu Jingye raise troops and was killed in an unsuccessful attempt.

Kindness... That's what I remember ...

But what a tragic word! ~

Jiong and Wang Bo, Lu Zhaolin, Luo Bin Wang and Han poems have the same name, called Wang Luo, also known as the "Four Families" in China. All four of them are great writers in the early Tang Dynasty! Their poems and essays were popular in later generations and made great contributions to Chinese literature.

However, their lives are not as good as their talents. Except for Yang Jiongmingzhe to protect his life, the other three people will not die well.

Wang Bo, whose name is Zi'an, was born in Longmen, Shanxi Province in 650, and is a famous prodigy family. Grandpa was a cultural celebrity in the late Sui and early Tang Dynasty, and his students were all over the world. Grandpa's younger brother Wang Ji is a famous "prodigy fairy" in Beijing, and Wang Bo's younger brother Wang Wo is also a genius boy who was admitted to Jinshi at the age of 20.

Born in such a big family, Wang Bo took the prodigy genes of this family to the extreme: Wang Bo was able to write articles at the age of six, and at the age of nine he wrote an article "Han Shu Pointing to the Maze", pointing out the mistakes of the famous scholar Yan Shigu in commenting on Han Shu. At the age of ten, he admired the Six Classics.

Wang Bo showed his talent very early and showed great courage. At the age of 14, he directly wrote to the prime minister and directly expressed his political opinions, which was deeply appreciated by Liu Xiangdao, the left and right hand. Liu Xiang praised Wang Bo as a "prodigy" and recommended it to the imperial court.

As a result, Wang Bo was appointed as Chao Saburo with a rank of seven grades. You must know that the military rank of the county magistrate is only seven grades, and Wang Bo at this time is only a fourteen-year-old boy.

When he was in office, he was soft-hearted and hid a fugitive official slave. Later, he was afraid of being reported, so he killed the official slave. He wanted to kill someone, and Wang Bo was sentenced to death.

Fortunately, Wang Bo was given the opportunity for amnesty, and his life was saved, but his career may have been hopeless from now on. For the rest of his life, the most he wanted to do was to visit his old father across the ocean. However, during this visit, Wang Bo died of drowning at the age of 27.

Yang Jiong is as smart as Wang Bo. Yang Jiong was born in a famous family, was smart and studious since he was a child, and showed his literary talent very early. The unfortunate talent, the ups and downs of officialdom, and no achievements, made Yang Jiong melancholy in his heart, and lived for two years (693).

Yang Jiong died at the age of 44 in the Yingchuan Covenant. Compared with the other three good friends, Yang Jiong is actually quite lucky, because at least he ended well.

The famous "Singing Goose" was written when Luo Bingwang was 7 years old, which shows that this person is also a prodigy. Luo Bing Wang lived a tragic childhood, and his father died young. After his death, he moved to Boshan, and then to Qiuyan County, Yanzhou, where he was poor in his early years.

As an adult, Luo Bingwang was turned into ** by Li. After that, Ren Lang went to the Western Regions. In the battle of Gaoyou, Xu Jingye's entire army was annihilated, and King Luo Bin was lost, which became a historical mystery.

Wang Bo is self-explanatory at the age of 6, Luo Bin Wang is leading at the age of 7, Yang Jiong is a 10-year-old prodigy who tries first, and Lu Zhaolin does not have these amazing records. His talent comes from his step-by-step practical learning. Lu Zhaolin was born in a famous family, read poetry and books when he was a child, studied under Wang Primary School and scriptures, and was erudite and talented.

First one arm was broken, then one leg was paralyzed. It was really thousands of miles away, and it began a painful journey of ten years. His life was miserable, terminally ill, and not tolerated by the powerful.

In the end, Lu Zhaolin committed suicide by throwing himself into the river.

Because they are very upright, they hope to seek the well-being of the people, and they hope to rectify the dark officialdom, but their connections are not strong enough, and they are framed by political opponents, so they are worse than the other.

Because of the social environment at that time, they were all lonely and arrogant, politically unwilling, unsatisfactory, and some of them were either physically disabled or physically sick, and they were born at the wrong time, so they all died young.

At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, Sijie felt that he was very talented, so he didn't pay attention to the scale when he spoke, and in the end he was killed.

The Four Masters of the Early Tang Dynasty are the collective names of the four literary scholars Wang Bo, Yang Jiong, Lu Zhaolin, and Luo Bin Wang in the early Tang Dynasty of China, referred to as Wang Yang and Lu Luo.

The Four Masters of the Early Tang Dynasty: The four masters are all famous, which does not originally refer to their poems, but mainly refers to the prose and fu. Later, it was mainly used to comment on his poems. Du Fu's "Drama is Six Quatrains" has the sentence "Wang Yang Lu Luo is in the same style".

Generally speaking, it refers to their poetry; However, there are also those who believe that it refers to texts, such as Zong Tingfu's "Ancient and Modern Poetry Quatrains" in the Qing Dynasty, which is called "this first treatise on four or six"; Or think that it also refers to poetry, such as Liu Kezhuang's "Houcun Poems: Sequel" when discussing this poem, citing fu, 檄, poems, etc. as examples.

The rankings of the four masters are also different. Song Zhiwen's "Sacrificial Du Bachelor's Essay on Words" said that after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, "there was Wang Yang Lu Luo again", and listed all the people in this preface, which is the earliest known material.

Zhang said that "Gift to Taiwei Pei Gong Shendao Monument" said: "In the selection of Cao, see Luo Bin Wang, Lu Zhaolin, Wang Bo, Yang Jiong", headed by Luo. Du Fu's poem "Wang Yang Lu Luo's body at the time", one book is "Yang Wang Lu Luo"; "The Book of the Old Tang Dynasty: The Biography of Pei Xingjian" also has a preface to Yang Wang Lu Luo.

Although the poems of the four masters have not been left to Qi Liang, they have initially reversed the literary atmosphere. Wang Bo clearly opposed the "Shangguan style" at that time and "thought about the disadvantages of reform", which was supported by Lu Zhaolin and others (Yang Jiong's "Preface to Wang Bo's Collection"). Their poems reversed the pre-Tang Dynasty style of lascivious court poetry, and changed the subject matter of poetry from pavilions and pavilions.

The narrow neighborhood of the wind and snow extends to the vast space of rivers, mountains and rivers, and the border of the river and desert, giving the poem new vitality. Lu and Luo's seven-word songs and deeds tend to be rhetorical, and the momentum is slightly stronger; Wang and Yang's five-word rhythm began to be standardized, and the tone was sonorous. The text also has a flexible and vivid atmosphere in the collection of words.

Lu Shiyong's "General Theory of Poetry Mirror" said, "Wang Bo Gaohua, Yang Jiong is strong, Zhaolin Qingzao, Binwang Tanyi, Zi'an Qi is the most brilliant?" Transferred to the early Tang Dynasty, with the brocade of the Six Dynasties. "Sijie is an outstanding figure in the transition period between the old and the new in the literary circle of the early Tang Dynasty.

In the second year (675) or the third year (676), Wang Bo went south to visit his father, crossed the sea and drowned, and died of palpitations.

Due to political frustration and long-term illness, he finally threw himself into the water and died. The year of Lu Zhaolin's birth and death is not clearly recorded in history.

In the first year of the reign (684), Wu Zetian abolished Zhongzong and became independent, and in September, Xu Jingye raised troops in Yangzhou to oppose it. Luo Bin Wang was a subordinate of the Xu Mansion and was appointed as the art and cultural order, in charge of the secrets. He drafted the famous "Seeking Wu Shi Xuan", Xu Jingye was defeated and killed in November, and the whereabouts of King Luo Bin were unknown, and after the autumn of the first year of Ruyi (692), he was reappointed as the commander of Yingchuan County, and the ruler was known for his harshness, and he died in office.

Wang Bo: Crossing the sea and falling into the water, drowning and dying of convulsions.

Yang Jiong: Died of illness.

Lu Zhaolin: Due to political frustration and long-term illness, he could not bear the pain and threw himself into the water and died.

Luo Bingwang: Xu Jingye drafted the "Discussion of Wu's Clan" in order to raise troops against Wu Zetian, and after Xu Jingye was defeated and killed, Luo Bingwang's whereabouts are unknown, and it is still a mysterious case.

Wang Bo died of drowning, Luo Bin Wang died in the war, Yang Jiong and Lu Zhaolin died of illness.
