Generally speaking, when we talk about the four great talents, we will think of the "Four Great Talents in the South of the Yangtze River"-Tang Bohu, Zhu Zhishan, Wen Zhiming and Xu Zhenqing. But in fact, they were just gifted scholars in the Ming Dynasty, and there were many gifted scholars in ancient history. There were four gifted scholars in the early Tang Dynasty. They were Yang Jiong, Lu and Luo.

I. Wang Bo

Wang Bo, born in Longmen, Jiangzhou (now Hejin, Shanxi), is the nephew of Wang Ji. Born in 649 AD. He started writing when he was six years old. At the age of nine, you can correct mistakes in ancient books. At the age of sixteen, he took the exam and began to be an official in North Korea. I have to say that Wang Bo was really powerful and famous at a young age. His representative works include "Farewell to Du Fu's Post in Sichuan" and "Preface to Wang Tengting".

In fact, everyone should be familiar with Wang Bo. After all, when we were studying, we all recited the preface to Wang Teng-ting. "Sunset and lonely Qi Fei, autumn waters and sky are one color" is deeply imprinted in our minds. How can a talented person write such an excellent work?

Second, Yang Jiong.

Yang Jiong, whose real name is Ling Ming, was born in Huayin, Huazhou (now huayin city, Shaanxi). He was born in 650 AD and is the great-grandson of Chu Yang, Duke of Changshan. At the age of nine, he was called a "prodigy". At the age of 26, he began to organize books. Later, he became the new Prince Zhan, and he also became a bachelor of Chongwen Pavilion, with a high reputation.

He is good at writing prose, especially poetry. His characteristic is that he broke through Qi Liang's "Palace Style Poetry" in content and artistic style, and occupied a place in the history of poetry development. His masterpieces include Joining the Army and the Battle of the South of the City.

Yang Jiong's "Joining the Army" is the learning content of the second volume of the ninth grade in the Chinese book. As we all know, good articles will be selected into books, which shows that Yang Jiong has outstanding talents.

Third, Lu

Lu Sheng was in Fanyang, Youzhou (now Zhuozhou, Hebei). His date of birth is controversial, and it is said that it is around 637 AD. When I was young, I studied the history of Confucian classics with Wang, a great scholar and expert in Confucian classics. Later, he turned to the Prime Minister for help and became famous.

Lu was especially good at seven-character poems and made great contributions to the development of the ancient seven dynasties. His representative works include Farewell to Beijing and Wanderer.

I'm not sure about other possibilities, but there is a poem that everyone must be familiar with-"Why don't you quit? I would rather be a mandarin duck than a fairy. " Such a classic poem is still widely circulated, and I also use it as my personal signature.

Fourth, Wang Luobin.

Luo, also known as sightseeing, was born in Yiwu, Wuzhou, Zhejiang (now Zhejiang) in 626 AD. He comes from a poor family and has no talent. According to legend, "Goose Fu" was written by Luo when he was seven years old.

He uses bold words, is rigorous in composition and is good at seven-character quatrains. His masterpiece "Landscape" is a rare novel in the early Tang Dynasty, which he thought was a swan song at that time. Wang Luobin also defended the border town for a long time, and wrote many frontier poems with lofty aspirations and cordial knowledge. There are many excellent works of Wang Luobin's Five Laws. For example, a political prisoner listens to cicadas, which is a well-known masterpiece and full of emotion.

We may not be familiar with Luo's other poems, but we must be familiar with one, that is, Singing Goose. Recently, my children also learned the song written by this poem, so I reviewed the classics.

Looking closely, the life experiences of these four talented people in the early Tang Dynasty are somewhat similar. They are all "prodigies" and have left many excellent works in poetry. The names of the four gifted scholars in the early Tang Dynasty can be said to be deserved.
