Which dynasty did Shen Fu belong to? In the 28th year of Qing Qianlong, Shen Fu was born in a merchant family in Suzhou, Jiangsu. Although the Shenyang family is in business, it used to be the home of literati next to Canglang Pavilion in the south of Gusu. Therefore, Shen Fu's father cultivated children's literacy very early and placed high hopes on them. Therefore, Shen Fu was interested in poetry, calligraphy and painting since he was a child. Although he has never taken the imperial examination in his life, he has never won fame. But his literary talent and legendary life experience are still talked about by people.
In the forty-second year of Qing Qianlong, 14-year-old Shen Fu left his hometown with his father and went to Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province to study as an adjutant. After completing his studies, he moved to Shandong, Sichuan and other places as an aide. After more than ten years, he suffered from displacement. Fortunately, in the most difficult and painful years, life was quite interesting with like-minded wife Chen Yun.
According to Six Chapters of a Floating Life, when Shen Fu left home, he was once in financial difficulties and had to sell paintings for a living. Husband and wife support each other in difficulties, but there is still no lack of elegance in life. In the feudal society of Qing Dynasty with strict ethical codes, Shen Fu and Chen Yun, a couple in trouble, were undoubtedly the immortal couple envied by others.
In the forty-nine years of Qianlong, Emperor Qianlong made a southern tour, and Shen Fu followed his father to meet Shengjia. His luck changed, and then he returned to his hometown of Suzhou to engage in wine business. However, not long after, his wife Chen Yun died, and Shen Fu went to Sichuan in grief, which became a mystery.
Who is Shen Fuzi, a famous prose writer in Qing Dynasty and the author of Six Chapters of a Floating Life?

Master Shen what? There is also an interesting boudoir story about Shen Fu's fine print "Three Whites".
It is said that Chen Yun was smart and studious since he was a child, and he had a high talent in poetry and ode. He and Shen Fu are kindred spirits, so after marriage, husband and wife often sing poems about wine together and discuss ancient and modern times.
On one occasion, Chen Yun casually recited a passage of Pipa, written by Bai Juyi, a poet in the Tang Dynasty. Shen Fu asked her curiously, which one did she prefer, Li Bai and Du Fu, two famous poets in the Tang Dynasty? Chen Yun said that he naturally prefers Li Bai. Li Bai's poems are bold and unrestrained, with great artistic conception. However, he is also called the enlightenment of his childhood. He began to study Bai Juyi's Pipa Trip. Their poetic styles are completely different, but in fact they are different.
Hearing this, Shen Fu clapped his hands and smiled and said, "Wonderful! Li Taibai is your idol and Bai Juyi is your first teacher. As it happens, my name is Sanbai, and I am your husband. How do you have such a relationship with albino? "
After hearing this, Chen Yun said with a smile: "The white characters are predestined friends, and I am afraid that the white characters will repeat themselves in the future (Wu Yin bid farewell to the white characters)." Two people laugh together.
From this little thing in life, we can see that both of them are naturally elegant people, and even jokes are so interesting. The word white is a clever metaphor, which expresses the meaning of the word "white" that lovers never forget. The old couple who want to come to modern society have been exhausted by daily trifles in their long-term life, but what the ancients said is poetic and picturesque, which has become a romantic love story sung through the ages.

In those poor years, many times, Shen Fu had to make a living by selling paintings, but even so, the husband and wife often took pains. For example, they often go to the home of an old couple who grow vegetables. They are addicted to gardening.

In the middle of July in the 40th year of Qianlong, with the help of parents, Shen Fu and Chen Yun got married, which opened the prelude to a romantic love. According to Six Chapters of a Floating Life, after Shen Fu and Chen Yun got married, the couple were inseparable.
Because both of them are from scholarly families and have homosexual hobbies, they often drink and write poems together, talk about the past and discuss the present, and play games with candles until late at night, which is full of elegance.
