When he was young, he went to Beijing many times to take exams and apply for jobs, but he failed to do so. During the Tongzhi period alone, he went to Beijing twice to take the exam, and both stayed at his good friend Xi Xiaofeng's house, but they all failed the list. During his trial employment in Beijing several times, he met many children of the Eight Banners, and wandered around Shenjing, Jinzhou, Liaoyang and other places, making friends with poetry, and successively met Xiaofeng, Miao, (Qing imperial clan), other celebrities, Chunshuzhai and Erling laity.
During the Tongzhi period, Han Xiaochuang and some literati gathered in Shenyang to form an irregular leisure gathering organization. In fact, it is a poetry club and a folk organization of literary celebrities. In addition to "singing with wine" and taking literature as their friends, they also wrote a large number of children's books, spring poems, riddles and other vulgar works.
In the third year of Guangxu (1877), at Miao's initiative, with the request and support of folk artists and all walks of life, the Huilan Poetry Society was formally formed with friends such as Xiaofeng, Shang Yazhen, Li Longshi, Rong Wenda and Song Ziyou, and was held every Wednesday, Saturday and September in Wenshan Room (Huiwentang) of Shenyang Gulou Club. In the ninth year of Guangxu (1883), Zeng and Zeng proposed to expand the poetry club to attract some folk artists to participate in activities, so as to combine the poetry club with folk art ... On the wall of a teahouse outside the South East Gate of Huiwenshan Prefecture, their newly created poems, couplets, lanterns and tigers, and disciples' books (unsigned) were published for public comment, and for a time, tourists in the past were crowded. In this way, the boundary between the children of the Eight Banners and the lower classes was broken. Many drummers, shadow puppets and blind artists who walk around the country and dance yangko ask members of the poetry club to write plays or arias. The movement of the poetry society towards the people naturally attracted the attention and interference of the rulers. This practice of posting a list in the tea house ended intermittently in less than three years, and he soon left Shenyang. During this period, Han Xiaochuang created some children's books, such as Ning Wuguan, Legacy of Brothel and Rich and Proud Wife, all of which were published by Huiwen Bookstore, which made him famous.
Han Xiaochuang was an official all his life and lived in poverty. In his later years, he claimed to be a cloth, and naturally he was not ashamed to make a living by selling goods. Besides relying on friends such as Miao and Xiaofeng, he also accepted literary remuneration from Wenshan Bookstore and Bookstore. He deliberately devoted himself to the creation of children's books, and successively wrote works such as Tears, Meiyu Hate, and Visiting the Old People's Home. These works criticized the hypocrisy and deception of patriarchal clan system and feudal laws, and mercilessly tore the true colors of the ruling class hidden behind ceremony, festival, loyalty, filial piety and benevolence. His later works, from the theme treatment to the application of artistic skills, have reached the point of perfection. His adaptation of Regret for the Past is based on A Dream of Red Mansions, which can deeply understand the essence of the original, embody and spread the spirit of the original, stand the test of time and become a masterpiece handed down from generation to generation. In addition, Han Xiaochuang has written many films for shadow puppeteers. There are two kinds of works handed down today: Slander and Ridiculous (cursing the son) and The Story of the Stone (Mrs. Tian Sansao hits the stove).
Han Xiaochuang's calligraphy is also good. In the early years, there was a vigorous calligraphy and painting in the main hall of Zuyue Temple in Qian Shan. In the middle of this vertical axis, there are only two big characters, but no matter whether the monks in the temple often come to be benefactors, they are all pronounced as "Qianlianshan", an easy-to-read and unusual calligraphy and painting, which was made by Han Xiaochuang when he traveled to Qian Shan.
Han Xiaochuang went abroad to make a living in his later years and died in Liaoyang (scholars at home and abroad have raised objections to this and need further research). Han Xiaochuan is a prolific writer. According to legend, there are as many as four or five hundred children's book scripts in his life, with a wide range of themes, including historical stories, love stories, satirical stories, social stories, etc., which are profound in love and suitable for all ages, so they can be widely circulated among artists and people. Han Xiaochuang was almost a household name in Shenyang in the late Qing Dynasty.
