Wu Fuchun, great-grandson of General Wu. As a child, I have never been angry. When Gu Rong saw it, he called and said that his grandfather Xue Jian said, "This son is a judge of the Ming and Qing Dynasties and is very childlike." And the dragon, respectful and filial, knowledgeable and upright, every time alone in the dark, Rong Zhi is looking forward to never leaning on evil.
Although the Hou family is rich, they often have enough food and clothing, devote themselves to ploughing fields and acres, and never tire of reciting poems. Parents are so eager to be more lenient, but they stay up all night and have no rest. Parents have interest in life, although brothers are close.
Translation:
Word, Wu Fuchun, great-grandson of general Sun Xiu. When Sun Wei was very young, he was never scolded. Gu Rong praised him first after seeing it, and said to his grandfather Xue Jian, "This child has a clear vision and lofty aspirations, and is not an ordinary child." When he grows up, (Sun Qi) is respectful and filial, honest and thrifty, and his knowledge conforms to justice and morality. Whenever he is alone in a dark room, his appearance and behavior never deviate.
Although his family business is rich, Sun Fang often wears cloth and is a vegetarian. He cultivates himself in the fields, learning endlessly and enjoying himself. His parents are worried about him (afraid that he studies too hard) and want him to relax, but he gets up early and goes to bed late, which means nothing at all. He never leaves his parents' daily diet, even if it is delivered by his brothers.

Brief introduction of the Book of Jin
The Book of Jin is one of the twenty-four histories of China, co-authored by, and others, with a total of 2 1 authors. The history recorded in this book began in the early years of Sima Yi in the Three Kingdoms period, and went down to the second year of the Eastern Jin Dynasty (420), when Emperor Wu abandoned Jin to stand on his own feet.
At the same time, the Book of Jin also describes the situation of the sixteen countries' political power in the form of "record". The original narrative and catalogue contain one volume each, including ten volumes of Emperor Ji, twenty volumes of local chronicles, seventy volumes of biographies, thirty volumes of memoirs and 132 volumes of memoirs.
The Book of Jin, named after a famous family, completely describes the rise and fall of the separatist regime of all ethnic groups in the Central Plains with a specification higher than biography, gives the separatist regime a proper historical orientation, and better solves the problem of the history of the imperial dynasty of the Central Plains and the political regimes of all ethnic groups, which has won high appreciation from historians of all dynasties.
In the records, we only called the sixteen countries' regimes "usurpers", but did not distinguish between China and foreign countries, which reflected the unified thought of the rulers of the Tang Dynasty that "China and foreign countries are one, and the world is one", which we should pay special attention to when reading the Book of Jin today. The history of Jin Dynasty is more complicated and more difficult to write than that of Han Dynasty. There are four genres in the Book of Jin, which solve this problem well.
