The Butcher Buys a Top Scholar: One Curse Becomes a Sage's Prose

Li Daniu, a hulking butcher's son who can't read a single character, gets his father to pawn everything they own to "buy" him a spot in the imperial examinations so he can avoid military service. The city's scholars are all waiting to laugh at him, but he not only produces five thousand years of Chinese poetry and literature, he also triggers a miraculous manifestation of the Confucian Dao. With a roughneck's name and all, he leaves the world's proud scholars utterly humbled!
