Wang Jie lost his father at the age of eight, and his family was very poor. Smart and studious since childhood, he worked as an aide to Chen Hongmou, the governor of Jiangsu Province, when he was young, and was highly valued by Chen. Finally, he won the first place in the senior high school entrance examination in Shaanxi (Xie Yuan) and the first place in the college entrance examination in Beijing, and presented the Examination of Emperor Qianlong Entering the Palace with the third place in flower exploration. At that time, Emperor Qianlong wanted to select talents in the north. Seeing that Wang Jie's handwriting (calligraphy) was neat and delicate, he ranked first and became the first scholar in the founding of the Qing Dynasty.
According to legend, after Wang Jie won the top prize, the Shandong bachelor was unconvinced and thought the selection was unfair, so he went out to take the joint entrance examination in Wang Jie. The first part is: "Confucius is a saint, Meng Zixian, and the article has been in Qilu since ancient times." Wang Jie immediately replied: "Wen Wangzhao, Wu Wangmu, now Taoism is in the Western Qin Dynasty." Juzi's attitude changed from this and he respected him very much, which reflected that Wang Jie's literary talent was really outstanding. After Wang Jie won the top prize, he was on duty in the South Study at first, and then he was promoted several times, becoming a bachelor of cabinet.
