3. A home for collecting books
Zha Shenxing loved to travel around and collect classics. At the age of 73, he retired to his hometown, where he stored thousands of volumes of books and sat and slept among them. On the day of his death, he could scan thousands of books with his hands. The family has a "Deshu Tower" and a rich collection of books. Guan Tingfen's "Notes and Postscripts on the Collection of Books in the Worshiping Tower" states that "In the early days of the Kingdom of China, among the book collectors in the southeast of Wuyi, the Ma family of Daogulou was the first to be selected, and the Cha family of Shulou built two shelves. The two volumes have different editions, and they have been cherished for several generations, not only for the purpose of filling the building." Both Zha brothers were good at collecting books. Zha Shen had "Deshulou", which had a rich collection of books; the second Zha Sisu built the "Zhapu Bookstore" to collect books; "Shuangsui Hall" collects books. Later, Zha Siting killed his corpse in a literary prison, and all his relatives and children were implicated. Shenxing was released when he was old. The third brother was left behind in Kansai, and his collection of books was lost.

4. Background of the Times
After the Qing troops entered the Pass, the scholars in the south of the Yangtze River continued to fight against the Qing Dynasty. By the time Zha Shenxing came of age, the anti-Manchu and Ming-era struggles at the beginning of the Qing Dynasty had been extinguished or suppressed. Except for the southwest and northwest corners, large-scale open anti-Qing struggles were a thing of the past, and the Qing regime was quite stable. , the political situation has stabilized. On the one hand, Kangxi and others continued to implement high-pressure policies, brutally suppressed sporadic resistance by the Han people, and established literary prisons to suppress Han scholars; on the other hand, they focused on "researching ancient and right texts" and used soft methods to win over people's hearts, especially Han scholars. This two-pronged policy indeed had a huge impact on the scholars at that time. Politically, Zha Shenxing's generation is different from the older generation of scholars who had a strong national consciousness in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. Most of them have taken an active participatory attitude in politics. They seek official careers in order to realize their life pursuits.
Although the widespread involvement in Huzhou Zhuang's historical case shocked the people for a while, its greater impact on Zha Shenxing only caused them to fear politics, thus prompting them to be more cautious. As a person. Therefore, in the poetry manuscripts of Zha Shenxing and others, Gu Yanwu's strong national sentiments in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties have become increasingly rare. When evaluating the poetic and ideological achievements of poets of Zha Shenxing's generation, it seems that there is no need to stick to their attitude towards the death of the Ming Dynasty and dwell on the Manchu-Han issue.
Regarding the poems of poets of Zha Shenxing's generation, it seems that we can change our perspective and focus on their attitude and depth in reflecting the reality of the time and referring to current events. Zha Shenxing's poems are very different from those of the poets of the early Qing Dynasty in terms of ideological content and emotional color. This feature should attract our attention.
