Tang Gao (1469-1526) was named Shouzhi, Xinan (yizuoxin) and ziyangshanren. He was born in Yan Town, she County, Huizhou Prefecture, South Zhili. During the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty, the number one scholar was an official. He was one of the most important figures in the history of Sino Korean exchanges. There is a biography of the historical manuscript of Ming Dynasty.

Life

Tang Gao was born in the Tang literature family of Xin'an (Huizhou) with profound accumulation of Neo Confucianism. He was "born with great courage", but he could not make a living because of the poverty of his family, so he lived on the help of his relatives and friends. So he studied hard with ambition.

Tang Gao failed repeatedly in his early years. In the eighth year of Zhengde (1513), Tang Gao went to the countryside again, and got the second place in the examination, Yayuan, and the first place in the spring and Autumn Annals.

In the ninth year of Zhengde (1514), Tang Gao went to the capital to take part in the examination, and won the fourth place and the first place in the spring and Autumn Annals.

In the palace examination in March of the same year, he was the first Jinshi (number one scholar) in the first class of Jiaxu, and was awarded the Imperial Academy's compilation.

In February 1517, Tang Gao held a joint examination with Ding chouke as a writer in the Imperial Academy.

In 1521, Emperor Wuzong of Ming Dynasty died. Tang Gao was appointed as the imperial envoy by the newly ascended emperor Jiajing of Ming Shizong.

After returning to the dynasty, Tang Gao took part in the revision of Wu Zong Shi Lu. After the completion of Shi Lu, he became a Bachelor of Imperial Academy and an official of Jingyan.

In March 1526, Tang Gao died at the age of 58.

On the great ceremony

In March 1524, Tang Gao, through his good friend Yang Shenli, urged his teacher Yang Tinghe to give in. Yang Tinghe did not take his advice. As a result, Tang gaoshangshu said: Your Majesty "should not be orthodox after the examination, but should be honored when he was born", which angered Shizong and was punished. Soon, Yang Tinghe dismissed from office. In July of the same year, the famous "Zuo Shun men incident" broke out. From then on, Shizong deterred the officials, and gradually became corrupt, and the politics of Ming Dynasty became more decadent.

poems

It is said that Tang Gao was very proud of his talent and reputation. He was not the first to compete with others, but he was often disrespectful. The next year, he knew his destiny and finally won the world's top prize. He wrote the song of persuading the world

Life is 70 years old, young first and old later

When there is not much time in the middle, there is more heat and worry

There are too many officials in the court to make enough money in the world

When officials have a lot of money to worry about, they will end up in a white house

Mid Autumn Festival after the moon is unknown, Qingming spent bad

Before and after the flowers and singing, in time to put the golden cup down

Please check the people in front of you and bury the grass several times a year

Grass high and low, old and new grave, poor cold food no one sweep

This song is shallow and clear, elegant but not vulgar, easy to understand and remember, smooth in the public will, through the public ears, the feeling of reading can clear the heart, fame and wealth heart is gray!
