About This Novel
In the spring of 1730, a young man from another province named Quan Zuwang went to Beijing with more than 20,000 volumes of books. At this time, he was a student at Ningbo Fuxue. Because of his excellent performance, he was selected as Bagong and went north to take the exam. To transport such a large and heavy luggage from Zhejiang to Beijing would cost a lot of money today, let alone the early 18th century when transportation conditions were poor. Sure enough, by the time he reached the border of Shandong Province, he had almost spent all his money. The driver he hired did not want to work anymore, so he had to take off his clothes and exchange money to pay the fare. In this way, one day in late spring, the rolling wheels brought him and more than 20,000 volumes of books into Beijing.
