The story of the author drawing a horse

Pu Songling (1640- 17 15), a writer in Qing Dynasty, was nicknamed "Immortal", "Sword Minister" and alias "Liu Quan laity". He is called Mr. Liaozhai, a native of Zichuan, Shandong Province, and now a native of Zibo, Shandong Province. Pu Songling was keen on fame and imperial examinations all his life, but he was admitted to Zhongxian County one after another at the age of 19, ranking first among the three places.

He took the exam for forty years while teaching. It was not until he was seventy-one that he made up a tribute and died four years later. The rough experience of life made Pu Songling have a certain understanding of the political darkness at that time and the disadvantages of the imperial examination.

The poverty of life made him have a certain understanding and experience of the lives and thoughts of the working people. So he wrote many works with his personal feelings. Today, in addition to strange stories from a strange studio, there are poems from a strange studio.
