Features: The content of this book: A poem goes: "Love of beauty is both innate and sentimental, hence it makes people desire hard to calm. Suffering to rely on foreign wives, never did he die, yet upon returning, he suddenly felt. Moreover, light as a swallow, more exquisite than a nightingale, if not for peace in the heart, would he not shake like a banner."
Speaking of the past, in Shuangliu County, Chengdu Prefecture, Sichuan Province, there was a son of an official family named Shuang. Born because his mother, Lady Wen, dreamed of the White Tiger Star embracing her, he was named Shuang Xing, with the courtesy name Buxia. His father, Shuang Jiawen, had once served as Vice Minister of the Ministry of Rites.
At the age of three, Shuang Xing lost his father, leaving behind a younger brother named Shuang Chen, who was two years younger. The two brothers were raised and educated by their mother. Though their family was now in decline, unlike their former prominence, they were delighted that Shuang Xing was naturally gifted and exceptionally intelligent from a young age. Moreover, he was exceptionally handsome and graceful, standing out among the crowd.
