Jinnong was the first of the Eight Eccentric in Yangzhou in Qing Dynasty. He likes studying very much, especially poetry and calligraphy. Poetry and calligraphy are quaint, and he has a height that ordinary people can't surpass, especially his discernment.
At the beginning, the Jin family was fairly rich, and Jin Nong had the opportunity to study at an early age. The simple folk customs and strong cultural atmosphere endow this peasant boy with extraordinary talent and talent.
Financial ambition, read thousands of books, Wan Li Road. When I was young, I wandered around Jiangsu and Zhejiang with my friends. I started to travel at the age of 37, and I played for 15 years. During this period, he traveled all over Qi, Shandong, Yan, Zhao, Qin, Jin, Chu, Guangdong and other countries, and enjoyed the famous river crossing, covering more than half of China.
Although Jin Nong is free and easy by nature, he doesn't value fame, but influenced by the traditional concept of being an official and worshipping his ancestors, he still has a little expectation in his heart, hoping to serve the country with a wise monarch.
Just when he was 50 years old, Jin Nong was recommended to take an examination of erudition and poetry, which was a good opportunity for finance.
As a result, Jin Nong came all the way to Beijing, but God played him. The recommendation test was terminated due to the death of Yong Zhengdi. In the eyes of the emperor Xinganlong, who is equally treated, the talents trained by the imperial examination are orthodox.
Knowing that there was an empty joy, the farmer had to return to the south in frustration. Because of this, Jin Nong also saw the sinister officialdom and broke his intention to be an official.
Before I was 50 years old, I was always a free man. I never thought about making money by my own talent and my own paintings and calligraphy. But now the farmer who has no proper job has to be troubled by poverty and has to make a living by selling paintings and calligraphy.
