Brief introduction of Qian Yong's life:

Qian Yong, formerly known as Crane, was born in Wuxi. Born in 1759 and died in 1844 at the age of 85. Qian Yong was born into a noble family, but did not take the imperial examination. Is this because his family is rich and doesn't need daily necessities, or because of his character, there is no historical data to check? This is also a bit incredible today. Just like today's children can go to college but insist on not taking the exam. Perhaps because of this, Qian Yong will go to Wan Li Road, study in thousands of books, and not follow the crowd. Only in this way, he will continue to write when he is over eight years old, leaving his name in history and being proud of us Wuxi people from generation to generation.

Reading notes in Ming and Qing Dynasties can't be separated from Qian Yong's "The Garden". This ancient note is famous for its rich content, informative materials and fluent writing. The book is divided into 24 volumes, covering laws and regulations, astronomy and geography, epigraphy and archaeology, cultural relics, calligraphy and painting, poems and novels, social anecdotes, anecdotes of people, customs and people's feelings, cautionary sayings, jokes and dreams, ghosts and gods and many other aspects. All-encompassing and spectacular. In his later years, Qian Yong lived in seclusion in the garden. "In my spare time, I heard a lot and wrote a note for myself", mocking myself as "a pen to send sorrows and joys". He wrote the preface to Talk in the Garden in July of the eighteenth year of Qing Daoguang, at the age of eighty.

Reclusive Li means that he was far away from his hometown when he was young, and has traveled all over Zhili, Shandong, Henan, Hubei, Jiangxi, Anhui, Zhejiang, Fujian and other provinces for many years. It was fifty years before he returned to his hometown to live in seclusion. Usually, the retirement mentioned by scholars means that officials are old and sick, can't be officials, and go home to support the elderly; Or honest and energetic, don't bend over for five buckets of rice, run back and forth, ask yourself and answer Hu Bugui; And Qian Yong's retirement is different from these people, because Qian Yong has never been an official in his life, or even passed the examination of a juren, so he is more like a martial arts person who has withdrawn from the Jianghu than an official who has withdrawn from officialdom. Qian Yong was a famous scholar in Qing Dynasty. He is proficient in epigraphy and stele, especially seal script. Even today, two or three hundred years later, his Mo Bao can be seen everywhere; Such as Yueming in Yangzhou and Qianmu Village in Changshu.

Qian Muzhai was originally a minister of the Ming Dynasty and an official of the Ministry of Rites. When the Qing soldiers went down to the south of the Yangtze River, they led Hong Guang court officials to surrender to Duoduo, and sent people to post notices everywhere, calling on the people not to resist, so as not to turn into dust, causing losses to Dajie and making the people despised. Just as Emperor Qianlong cursed Qian Muzhai for being "heartless" and banned his works, Jiangnan literati increasingly despised him as the first of the "Five Immortals in Jiangsu and Zhejiang", Qian Yong resolutely carved the four characters "Dong Jian Old Man's Tomb" for Qian Muzhai's long-abandoned tomb and stood in front of it, which attracted the audience to laugh. How brave to sail against the current!

Qian Muzhai's Collection of Beginners, Collection of Scholars, A Brief Introduction to Heroes at the Beginning of the Country, and Poems of Past Dynasties are still important works of historians in Ming and Qing Dynasties. Qian Yong's engraving of Qian Muzhai's tomb is a respect for Qian Muzhai as a scholar, not to kneel down and surrender to Qian Muzhai. One equals one and two equals two. Qian Yong was right. In the "blood robe" section of "Luyuan Conghua", Yang, who was martyred against the Qing Dynasty, showed more respect, and there was admiration between the lines.

It is generally believed that women's foot-binding lasted for more than 700 years from the Song Dynasty to the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties until the Republic of China. The so-called foot-binding is to wrap a woman's feet in cloth from childhood to make them small and sharp, which is called "three-inch golden lotus". Qian Yong was well versed in classics and history since childhood, and read widely, especially in historical research. In the "Foot-binding" section of "The Garden", he went to great lengths to trace the reasons for foot-binding. He found that the ancients respected women's foot binding because they liked to watch women dance in small and exquisite dancing shoes. They think the smaller the dancing shoes, the better. Naturally, they also want women's feet to be smaller than one. According to Qian Yong's textual research, foot binding "began in Li Houzhu in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and was wrapped or not wrapped in the Song Dynasty". So he wrote in the book: "The virtue of a woman takes softness as the first meaning and modesty as the second meaning. The size of her foot should not be underestimated." In the Qing Dynasty, when every woman had to foot-bind, Qian Yong called on people to get rid of this bad habit, making him as famous as Yuan Mei, Li Ruzhen, Yu, Gong Zizhen and others who also opposed foot-bind.
