During the Huangyou period of the Northern Song Dynasty, Wu Zhong'an, a scholar from a poor family, possessed the secret of the eight-character destiny, and unexpectedly awakened to the Confucian businessman's destiny system.
Refusing bribes and adhering to his original intention of educating people, he used the centuries-old pine smoke of Mount Huangshan as his bones and the snow water of the twelfth lunar month as his soul. He improved the ancient method and refined the world-famous Xuan Shuang ink. He exchanged the people's umbrella for the people's wishes and became the "reborn parent" in the people's mouth; when he offered advice to the saints, he strongly encouraged officials to supervise business affairs, built a royal ink-making workshop, and promoted the world's education center.
In the court games, the rich and powerful were competing for each other, but he relied on the support of the system, adhered to the ingenuity and benevolence, and worked step by step. He accepted Shen Kuo as his disciple, passed on the unique knowledge of ink, and left the "Xuanshuang Ink Sutra" to be handed down to the world.
From a professor of state studies in Huzhou, to a powerful minister of Taichang Temple, to a generation of masters who retired to farm and study, Wu Zhongan spent his life writing legends: establishing himself with Confucianism, benefiting the world with business, his ink will last for thousands of years, and his reputation will last forever.
