According to Fu Xuancong's textual research, Sandu Fu was written before the destruction of Wu in the first year of Taikang (280). Jiang Liangfu believes that Sandu Fu was written in 29 1 year. Bai Juyi's "Paying Zheng to Serve Dongyangchun": "When you are silent, you will always hide in the valley, leaving three capitals in rows."
The idiom "Luoyang paper is expensive" is because people were competing to copy the contents of Sandu Fu at that time, which caused the shortage of paper and the rise of paper price. Lu Ji originally intended to write Sandu Fu, but because Zuo Si had written it well, he gave up the idea.

Creation background
Qi Du Fu is Zuo Si's first novel, which took a year to complete as a teenager. Linzi, Zuo Si's hometown, was the capital of ancient Qi, and was once a very prosperous big city. According to "Qi Ce Yi, the Warring States Policy", Su Qin described the capital of Qi in that year as follows: "There are 70,000 households in Linzi ... Linzi is very rich and real, and the people are playing the pipa, playing the piano, fighting chickens, walking dogs and playing cuju. ……"
Zuo Si is very proud of the history of his hometown. It is said that in Qi Du Fu, he described the economic prosperity, cultural prosperity and beautiful scenery of the capital Linzi, which was fascinating. Regrettably, the full text of Qi Du Fu has been lost and has not been circulated in the world. Only a few prose chapters have been included in ancient books such as Zhu and Tai Lan.
