Strangely, his handwriting is good, but there are many quirks and actions: "His handwriting is the best, but he refuses to learn ancient books. He just created his own style and wrote by writing. But if a mortal asks him to write, he will fast for one day three days ago and grind ink for one day the next day, but he will not allow others to do it for him.
2. The second one is Mrs. Wang. His ancestors sold vegetables in Sanpailou. When his father became poor, he sold all the vegetable gardens. Later, when his father died, he lost his livelihood and went to Hujufu to sell paper containers every day. There's only one advantage. He likes playing Go.
One day, when I took to the street, I saw several people playing Go. Everyone praised each other, saying that this is a national player and that is a famous player. Mrs. Wang always laughs. Several people looked at him in rags, unconvinced. They were surprised that the best player in the national team lost to him, and invited him for a drink.
Mrs. Wang smiled and said, "This is as happy as killing chess! I have killed chess, and I am very happy. I cannot eat or drink there! " Say that finish, he smiled and left without looking back.
3. The third is the cover width of the teahouse. He used to be a pawnbroker and also had some property. But he is charitable. In order to help others, he sold all kinds of things at home and didn't know how to run it. He can only open a teahouse, selling only fifty or sixty pots of tea every day, earning only fifty or sixty dollars, and can only maintain rice. It is this dilemma that makes his beloved ancient books unwilling to sell.
The fourth one is a tailor. His family name is Yuan Jing. He is in his fifties. He makes a living for others every day. He plays the piano and writes in his spare time, and he also likes writing poems very much. At that time, tailoring was a humble business, and his friend asked him, "If you want to be an elegant person, why are you in your expensive business?" Why don't you get along with some school people? "He said," I don't want to be an elegant person, just want to be similar in temperament, so I often learn. "

Creation background
Under this background, capitalist relations of production have sprouted in the three generations of Kangxi, Yong Zhengdi and Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty. The superficial prosperity of society can't cover up the decay of feudal society. While suppressing the armed uprising, the rulers adopted Daxing Wenzi Prison, took stereotyped writing examination and opened imperial examinations.
Wu advocated neo-Confucianism to imprison literati with ruling ideology, opposed stereotyped writing and imperial examination system, and hated literati who were obsessed with nature and were keen on fame and fortune. He reflected these views in The Scholars and exposed the ugly things in a sarcastic way.
Wu, the author of The Scholars, was born in a noble family. Great-grandfather and great-grandfather are two generations of "versatile officials" (Biography of Mr. Wenmu by Cheng Jinfang). * * * has six scholars, including one second prize and one flower detective. And his father, Wu, was a tribute during the Kangxi period. In sixty-one (1722), Wu Kangxi was admitted as a scholar, and his father died in the same year.
Because he is not good at managing his livelihood, he lives like a prodigal son. In the seventh year of Yongzheng (1729), when he took part in the imperial examination, he was dismissed as a "variant" and was insulted. Later, he left his hometown angrily and made a living by selling articles and helping friends. In the first year of Qianlong (1736), Wu participated in the pre-test of Bo Ci.
Zhao, the governor of Anhui Province, officially recommended him to take the Tingkao in Beijing, but he "insisted on studying with illness" (Gu Yunzhi's Wu Chuan) and never took the imperial examination again. In his later years, he was often hungry and cold. This personal experience made him feel particularly deeply about the advantages and disadvantages of stereotyped writing and imperial examination.
In the title of the book, the word "Confucian scholars" comes from Historical Records and Biography of Confucian Scholars. It is "the scholars", which refers to the academic circles and so on. Biographies of national history are naturally "official history", and the author takes "foreign history" as the title, just to make a difference, as Cheng Jinfang, the author's best friend, revealed in "Poems of Huairen": "Foreign historical books are like scholars, so what to describe; I feel sad for the people of Sri Lanka. I actually passed on history. "
It is a biography of Confucian scholars outside the orthodox record. The author deliberately described the story in the book as "official history", but actually described the extensive social life of the Qing Dynasty, reflecting the bad luck of his contemporaries under the poison of the imperial examination system.
