The Jin Dynasty established by the Jurchens seemed a bit "lonely" compared to the Song Dynasty and the mysterious Xixia Dynasty, which had numerous celebrities, and its true identity was even blurred in word of mouth among the people. As a dynasty that ruled the Central Plains for more than a hundred years, the Jin Dynasty had its own characteristics in terms of politics, economy, culture, and people's livelihood. This book selects thirteen people of the Jin Dynasty, including emperors, clan members, literati, generals, and grassroots representatives of the four strata of society: scholars, farmers, workers, and merchants. It aims to help readers understand the political, economic, cultural, and people's livelihood characteristics of the Jin Dynasty through the typical lives of typical characters, so as to gain a deeper understanding of the Song, Liao, Jin, and Xixia eras where heroes competed for power. Once you understand these characters, you can truly understand the Jin Dynasty.

The "fishing" behavior in the Western context is not an ordinary fishermen's livelihood, but a sexual behavior with male heroic cultural connotations. In the long history of Western culture, many classic narrative texts use the act of "fishing" to characterize the masculinity of heroic characters.

This article also starts from the perspective of sexual attributes research, taking the Hemingway phenomenon in the real world and the Hemingway phenomenon in the text world as examples to systematically demonstrate the importance of the Western cultural connotation of "fishing" behavior to the study of American masculinity.
