Preface to Wang Teng-ting is known as the first fu in history. Is Wang Bo really an improvisation?

Many buildings in China that span thousands of years are alive because of the pen and ink of those literati. The Yellow Crane Tower written by Cui Hao made it famous all over the world. When Fan Zhongyan boarded Yueyang Tower, he wrote "The Record of Climbing Yueyang Tower", which was the true feelings of the literati and also brought fire to Yueyang Tower. However, Tengwang Pavilion is famous in Wang Bo's Impromptu Preface to Tengwang Pavilion. This article is quoted from classics and is called the first fu in history. Is such a classic article really written by Wang Bo?

Excerpts from Preface to Wang Teng Pavilion

This is not an exaggeration in history, and it is clearly recorded in the history books of the ancients. In 675 AD, Wang Bo was frustrated in his career and planned to visit his exiled father. It happened that he was passing through Hongzhou, which is Nanchang today. When he arrived here. Just in time for the grand banquet when the Wang Teng Pavilion was rebuilt. When Yan, the governor here, heard that it happened to be the Double Ninth Festival, he invited many literati to gather in the pavilion to celebrate.

Tengwangge now

As early as before the banquet, in order to be able to recommend his son-in-law Wu in front of those celebrities and nobles, he asked his son-in-law to prepare articles in advance so as to show his hands and feet at the banquet in Tengwangge. Although Wang Bo is famous, at this time, it is to increase his popularity at the banquet to make up for it. Not long after the banquet began, it was time to write poems and write poems. Yan raised his glass to propose a toast to the guests, and at the same time led to the following links. I hope that all talented people can write an article for Teng Wangge and record the grand occasion of today's banquet.

Everyone knows that they tactfully accepted the gracious refusal, but when he arrived at Wang Bo's house, he didn't understand the meaning. But took Four Treasures of the Study from the attendants and began to write articles. This move made Yan very unhappy and stole the limelight from his son-in-law Wu. Therefore, the adults left the room and ordered the waiter to deliver what Wang Bo had written. The people next to him are waiting for embarrassment. Who knows that Wang Bo wrote about mountains and rivers in one go, from history and humanities to banquets, which made countless people applaud.

At this time, Wu Shuo, this article was written by ancestors, but it was unknown, and when writing the article, the full text was recited word for word. Everyone is talking about it, but Wang Bo left a seven-character poem at the end of the article without explanation. Wu was ashamed to know that it was exposed and left in the praise of everyone. This masterpiece has become a classic in literary history.

According to the New Tang Book, this is indeed an impulsive work by Wang Bo, but some people say that the editor's biography of Wang Bo is biased and deliberately magnifies his talent. However, it is still recorded in historical materials that every article written by Wang Bo dates back to his youth? Memorize it? He often uses this method to exercise his writing ability when writing articles. After a long time, even if you don't have to write it on paper, you just need to make a draft in your mind, and you don't have to change a word of the written article.

Bo Wang

In addition, it is clearly recorded in history that Wang Bo began to write articles as early as 6 years old. At the age of 9, I can pick out mistakes in the articles written by those masters; 16 years old, becoming the youngest court official. It is not difficult for him to improvise an article.

We must admit that there are always geniuses in this world, and these geniuses can always do things that we can't do in our lifetime easily. Wang Bo, who finished the famous Preface to Wang Tengting in one fell swoop, is obviously one of them.
