Yuwen Shoujie was born during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, especially in northern China, storytelling was extremely popular, not only in the imperial city of Beijing, but also in Tianjin. Next are Jinan, Fengtian and Yingkou... The most popular place in Tianjin storytelling is "Three No Matters". In fact, this place, like the Tianqiao in Beijing and the Confucius Temple in Nanjing, is a place where poor people gather and entertainers gather. The people who come to "Sanguer" to listen to storytelling are not only poor people, but also wealthy people. At that time, the most representative wealthy families in Tianjin were known as the "Eight Great Families". They are said to be wealthy families, but some of them also come from scholarly families. In addition to the "Eight Families", there is another family, known as the "Ximen Liyu Family". The Yu family, whose surname is Yuwen, is because their ancestors fled to Tianjin from Shanxi. They later made a fortune doing business in Tianjin, so they purchased real estate in the old town of Ximenli, Tianjin, and have taken root in Tianjin ever since.
