Features: Only in a soil rich in profound cultural heritage can the giants of culture be nurtured. Why did a dazzling literary star suddenly rise in Chengdu, a place often referred to as a remote frontier? Why, after Sima Xiangru, did Wang Bao and Yang Xiong follow, raising high the banner of the fu (a classical Chinese literary form)? The famous fu writers of the Western Han Dynasty included Jia Yi, Mei Cheng, Dongfang Shuo, Sima Xiangru, Wang Bao, and Yang Xiong. Among them, the authors from Shu (the ancient name for the region of Sichuan) alone accounted for three, achieving the most outstanding accomplishments. Could their thunderous impact on the literary scene of the Han Dynasty have been an accidental phenomenon detached from literary laws? This book comprehensively introduces the three great fu writers of Shu. It covers the origins and inheritance of Ba-Shu culture, historical culture, ethnic and religious traditions, science and technology, folk customs, famous cities and celebrities, and more. With accurate historical facts, concise language, rich illustrations, and easy-to-understand content, it plays a positive and important role in popularizing, promoting, and glorifying Ba-Shu culture.
