About the author:
Juck Zhang (1650—about 1709) was born in Shexian county (now Shexian county, Huangshan city, Anhui province). His ancestral home was Wuyuan (now Jiangxi), and the tenth ancestor moved to Putian in the sixth year of Tiansheng in the Northern Song Dynasty (1028). After a move to Jianping County (now langxi, Anhui Province), since Shiqiaofu Army (? -1607) Nanjiang Guo Village (now Gujiang Village) in Buzhu County.
Fu Jun gave birth to two sons, and the elders raised two sons. One of his sons is Kong (1606-? ), a French empty (1610-1640), the former is Juck Zhang's father. Confucius' name is Huang Yue, which is difficult to learn. At the age of eleven, he lost his father and suffered from hunger and cold. As an adult, he was "poor and boring, but he returned to the emblem."
During the Chongzhen period of the Ming Dynasty, Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty was a scholar for six years (1649). Since then, I have embarked on my official career and my family has fallen. He worked as a doctor of punishments, a doctor of provincial hospitals, and a scholar in Shandong, when he was nine years old (1652).
Unfortunately, only a few months later, I began to worry about my mother. "Since then, I have seen the world and I am never willing to go up." I live in Yangzhou and devote myself to running my family business. Zhang Chao was born at the age of 45, that is, seven years of Shunzhi (1650). Juck Zhang grew up in a rich environment of "Tian Zhai Feng Shui, handmaiden utensils, books and cultural relics" 1. Because of his father's strict family education, he has not been infected with the common dandy habits of officials and rich children.
From an early age, he was "brilliant, good at reading, Bo Gu is a general history, weak in the world, and famous all over the country". Although he comes from a well-known family and has a wealth of money, he is "quiet, lustful, and does not like to eat thick food over fat, but he loves guests and has enough to eat." The wealthy businessmen in Huainan are still arrogant and extravagant, and all the wise men are proud of refusing to see him.
However, if the layman opens the door to extend guests, people from all directions will stay to drink and write poems, and they will be tireless for years; The poor used to have more money, but their pockets turned to help: Gai Jushi was never rich and hospitable, so he was exhausted. "
It's a pity that he tried his best. "If you are an Hanlin Lang, don't be an official, Dumen writes a book." He has written dozens of volumes of poems, songs, notes and miscellaneous works, and compiled them into medium and large series such as Tanji Series (published in the thirty-fourth year of Kangxi) and Zhao Dai Series (published in the thirty-sixth year of Kangxi).
In the middle and late period of Kangxi, people called him "a famous writer, famous all over the world." Although Guizhou, Yunnan, Guangdong and Sichuan live in a desolate place, Jiangnan has the meaning of being a layman, which is well known. " What brought him fame at home and abroad before and after his death was the compilation of a new record of Yuchu. As soon as this book came out, it established its historical position as an editor and critic of China's classical novels.
