Ou Daren, whose name is Zhenbo, and whose name is Lunshan, was born in a scholarly family for generations. He learned a lot about classics and history when he was young. At the age of 14, he was the supervisor of the school and collected the examination of top students in ten counties, and all three examinations were the first. He, Liang Youyu, Li Minbiao Wu Dan Xiangshan Huang Zuo, a fellow student of the university, felt that the Lingnan poetry world had“ The first five sons ”Later, when it was relatively quiet, they repaired the South Garden together, reviving the Lingnan poetry world again. However, Ou Daren was unlucky in the examination. He failed eight times in the local examinations. He did not enter Beijing as a tribute student until he was 47 years old in the 42nd year of Jiajing (1563) A late trial First. [1] Longqing Four years ago (1570), 54 year old Ou Daren gave a lecture to the official Jiangdu (now Yangzhou, Jiangsu). Soon, he was ordered to go to Beijing to take part in the compilation of the Shizong Factual Record. After completing the task, he recommended Guangzhou (today's Huangchuan, Henan Province) to be Xuezheng and promoted to Professor Shaowu (today's Shaowu County, Fujian Province). Wanli In the third year (1575), he was promoted to teaching assistant of the Imperial College. He once wrote a letter to the emperor, suggesting four things: "One is to lead learning to improve practical learning; two is to apply the legal system to broaden students; three is to cultivate books to emphasize anecdotes; four is to advocate practical learning to show talents." These are all measures to promote culture and education. His talent gradually became famous. At that time, the scholars of Langya, who were in charge of poetry, competed with each other to promote Ou's great task, and became more and more famous. Emperor Wanli visited the Imperial College, and Ou Da had to be a servant. Emperor Wanli appreciated his literary talent, and the emperor gave him two words of "no two". Soon, Ou Daren took over the post of left commentator of Dali Temple. He acted in accordance with the law, and many of them have been vindicated. He was not entrusted by his authority. Eunuch Huang's nephew killed someone. Si Kou tried to atone for it, but Ou Daren refuted it.
In the ninth year of Wanli's reign (1581), Ou Da was appointed as the chief of the garrison department of the Nanjing Ministry of Work. The following year, he transferred to Doctor Yu Heng to supervise the repair of Xiaoling. In the twelfth year of Wanli (1584), he begged for retirement and returned to his hometown.

[3] The Annals of Baiyue Sages collected the biographies of 120 Baiyue Sages from the Eastern Han Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty. The style is rigorous, and most of them rely on historical biographies rather than miscellaneous books, so it was picked up by local chronicles. However, his literary achievements are mainly in poetry. There are more than 1000 poems handed down from generation to generation, especially those who express their own feelings and do not follow the ancients. Look at this song "Zhenhai Tower". Although the style can not get rid of the influence of the Seven Sons, it is full and deep, and it is a promising work:
Looking at the rivers and mountains, you can feel the pale and flat Chu in the sky.
The stone gate goes north to the Qin Fortress, and the water flows south to the Han Palace.
The sound of loose trees on the empty threshold is deep in the valley of darkness, and the sky is extremely bright in autumn.
Shuonan is full of Yao fiefs. I'm worried to hear that Qiaosu is arrogant!
