Six Chapters of a Floating Life is an autobiographical essay written by Shen Fu, a native of Changzhou in the 13th year of Yu Jiaqing in Qing Dynasty (1808). Yang Yinchuan, the brother-in-law of Wang Tao in the Qing Dynasty, found the remnant manuscript of Six Chapters of a Floating Life in a cold stall in Suzhou, with only four volumes, and gave it to Wang Tao, who was in charge of reporting Wenzunge in Shanghai at that time, and published it in movable type in 1877. The second book "A Dictionary of a Floating Life" gives Li Bai's poem "Preface to My Brother's Peach Blossom Spring Banquet", which says: "The rich in heaven and earth are the inverse of everything; Time flies, and a hundred generations fly by. And floating life is like a dream, for music geometry? " .
