In the autobiography of Banqiao, Zheng Banqiao described himself as follows: "I love mountains and rivers, especially the play of extra peaches and peppers ..." "The game of extra peaches and peppers" refers to homosexuality. Mo Lin Jin Dialect also recorded Zheng Banqiao's "Don't waste your voice, and use up the money you earn". In his later years, Zheng Banqiao lamented sadly that "I know I am old and ugly, and this generation will benefit from my money". In other words, those Toy Boy are all here for money.
When Zheng Banqiao was 7 1 year-old, he had a meeting with Yuan Mei, a 48-year-old famous poet in Qing Dynasty, at Hongqiao Poetry Club in Tomb-Sweeping Day. The two chatted speculatively, and Zheng Banqiao mentioned his love for "golden ass": "Today's yamen always waits on the board, and the board is biased towards peach ass. If you are a good boy, won't you ruin all your beauty? If you want to participate in court legislation, you must change the buttocks in the decree to the back, so that you can live up to the natural lust of Longyang people. " Hearing this, Yuan Mei immediately felt a sense of identity.
Zheng Banqiao, one of the Eight Eccentrics in Yangzhou, is excellent in poetry, painting and calligraphy. However, like many literati at that time, this man also had Zheng Gui's addiction and Yu Tao's kindness. He not only loves children, but also writes poems for them. He even hopes to change the "whipping ass" in the Qing Law to "whipping back" because he "cherishes the golden arm".
