"Everyone, the next item up for auction is the poem 'Song of the Peach Blossom Nunnery' by Tang Bohu and Tang Yin. Let me introduce them to everyone first!”
"Tang Yin (March 6, 1470-January 7, 1524), born on the fourth day of the second month of the sixth year of Chenghua, died on the second day of the second month of the second year of Jiajing. The word Bo Hu, later changed to the word Ziwei, known as Liu Ru Jushi, Peach Blossom Nunnery Master, Lu Tang Sheng, fled Zen immortal officials, etc., South Zhili Suzhou Fu Wu County people, Ming Dynasty famous painter, calligrapher, poet.
Tang Yin's ancestor was the former Liang Lingjiang General Tang Hui. This had also directly affected Tang Yin. He often used " Jinchang Tang Yin " in the titles of his paintings and calligraphy. At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, his grandfather, Tang Jian, followed Li Yuan to raise an army and was conferred the title of Duke of Ju. Therefore, Tang Yin also called himself Tang Sheng of Lu. In the Ming Dynasty, his ancestor Tang Tai was the chief of the military chariot and died in the battle of Tumu Castle. Most of Tang Tai's descendants lived in Baixia and Qiaoli, Wu County, Suzhou. Tang Yin was also born in this area. His father, Tang Guangde, ran a small tavern. His father asked him to study and seek fame. Tang Yin did not disappoint his father. At the age of 16, he was the first to enter the Suzhou government examination. At the age of 28, he won the first place in the provincial examination of Zhongnan Zhili, and entered Beijing to take part in the examination the following year. Tang Yin was implicated in the imperial examination case in the 12th year of Hongzhi and was demoted to an official. The sudden change made Tang Yin lose his initiative. From then on, he wandered the Jianghu and was buried in poetry and painting. He eventually became a famous painter of a generation.
His painting style was inherited from Li Tang and Liu Songnian, who merged the Northern and Southern School of Painting. His brush and ink were delicate, his layout was sparse, and his style was elegant and handsome. The figure painting inherited the tradition of the Tang Dynasty. The colors were gorgeous and elegant, the posture was beautiful, and the shape was accurate. He is also good at freehand painting characters, simple and comprehensive, full of interest. His flower and bird painting is good at ink freehand painting, free and easy. His calligraphy is strange and handsome, imitating Zhao Mengfu.
In painting, he was known as the "Four Schools of Wu" along with Shen Zhou, Wen Zhengming, and Qiu Ying, also known as the "Four Schools of Ming". In poetry, he was called the "Four Talents of Wuzhong" with Zhu Yunming, Wen Zhengming and Xu Zhenqing.
Speaking of the Peach Blossom Monastery, there was a story. It was said that Tang Bohu had taken a fancy to a house in Suzhou. It was an abandoned villa that had not been owned for a long time. There was another place in Suzhou called Peach Blossom Cove. According to the records, when Tang Bohu decided to buy a house, because he did not have money, he could only use some of his books as collateral to borrow money from a friend who was an official in Beijing. Later, he spent more than two years working hard to write, draw, and sell money before he could pay off the house.
Song of the Peach Blossom Nunnery
The Peach Blossom Monastery in the Peach Blossom Cove, under the Peach Blossom Monastery is the Peach Blossom Immortal.
Peach Blossom Immortal planted peach trees and plucked peach blossoms to exchange for wine money.
When sober, I sit in front of flowers; When drunk, I sleep under flowers.
Half drunk and half awake, day after day, flowers fall and bloom year after year.
I wish I could die of old age among flowers and wine, unwilling to bow in front of chariots and horses.
The dust of chariots and horses is enough for the rich, and the wine and flowers are used by hermits.
If you compare the wise with the recluse, one is on the ground and the other is in the sky.
If you compare flowers and wine with chariots and horses, why are they busy and why are we idle?
The world laughed at me for being too crazy, and I laughed at others for not seeing through me.
I can't see the tombs of heroes in the five mausoleums. There are no flowers, no wine, no hoes, no fields.
Everyone who loves Tang Bohu, what are you still hesitating about? Do you want me to have the authentic works of Tang Bohu's poems? If you miss this opportunity, you won't have this opportunity. Quickly raise the sign in your hand and bid bravely!”

One had to know that this painting was going to be auctioned for 400,000 silver dollars! 400,000 silver dollars! Who knew how many lifetimes it would take for Butler Han to earn that much money? Bean-sized beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

I'm determined to get this poem. No one can snatch it from me.”Old Master Han's face was red as he said fiercely. Butler Old Han's mouth twitched.
" Yes, Master," Butler Old Han said quickly.
"600,000 silver dollars."
"Whoosh…!" Hearing the huge figure of 200,000 silver dollars, the vast and crowded hall was like a drop of water in a pot of oil. The surging discussions almost overturned the roof!!
Li Ming was also shocked by this number, but he quickly reacted! "600,000 silver coins!" he shouted in surprise.! Mr. No. 2 has bid 600,000 silver dollars!! Was there anyone higher? Was there anyone higher? Are there any higher bids?"
Li Ming asked excitedly three times.
Seeing the auctioneer's gaze, the cold middle-aged man lowered his head and thought for a while. Then, he slowly shook his head and did not bid again.
"Everyone, 600,000 silver dollars!!？Tang Bohu and Tang Yin's 'Song of the Peach Blossom Nunnery' was an authentic work, and there was only one copy of the poem that had been passed down from generation to generation!!!

It's better to act than to be tempted. Hurry up and act!”
Listening to the auctioneer's encouraging words over and over again, Old Master Han clenched his fists tightly. His fingers had turned white from the exertion! Due to his excessive nervousness, his forehead was completely drenched in sweat! However, he could not care less at this time! At this moment, all of his attention was on the stage. It was related to the fate of Tang Bohu and Tang Yin's 'Song of the Peach-Blossom Nunnery.' His gaze was attracted by the auction!
