The Discarded Son: Somehow, I Became a Sage of Literature

This is a world where literary culture is weak, yet literary pursuits are all the rage.

Confucianism was founded, but its followers barely understood benevolence and morality, and had no concrete principles. Daoism had existed for a thousand years, yet its scholars could not explain the Dao in any meaningful way.

This state of affairs continued until Qin Yang lost two volumes, the Analects and the Dao De Jing, then composed the poem Bring in the Wine at a poetry gathering, bringing an end to it all.

The two books spread through the imperial court and among the common people.

The whole realm was shaken, and their teachings were hailed as the learning of a sage.

One day, Qin Yang returned from hunting and saw countless people in brocade robes and ceremonial crowns gathered outside his shabby little house, calling out, "Long live the Sage!"
