What are the eight introductions of Jin Fan written in The Scholars?

The first time: Wang Mian was born in poverty and was good at painting lotus flowers. Jing Guan Su Wei wanted to meet him, because he didn't want to make friends with officials and gentlemen, and he was afraid of being victimized, so he left Shandong. After the flood in Shandong, he returned to his hometown.

The second time: Xue Jia wants to hire a teacher for his children. Xia Zongjia recommended Zhou Jin, who is over 60 years old. At the banquet, Zhou Jin invited Mei Jiu, but as a scholar, Mei Jiu played a trick on Zhou Jin during the dinner, saying that she dreamed of a scholar, which was a good sign.

The third time: Zhou Jin's brother-in-law and others took pity on Zhou Jin, and pooled their money to donate a Guo Jianzi to him, so that he could directly take the exam and was admitted, and later he was admitted to the Jinshi and became a scholar in Guangdong. Jin Fan, a scholar, was admitted because of his pity. Then I was recommended in the exam.

The fourth time: Jin Fan's mother suddenly got a rich house and furniture and died of excessive excitement. Three years after Jin Fan's mourning, Zhang Jingzhai followed him to Tang Zhi County, Gaoyao County, because the court ordered that the slaughtered cattle and beef could not be eaten.

The fifth time: after the Hui case was handled by the Tang magistrate, two people came to accuse Yan, one accused Yan of robbing other people's pigs, and the other accused Yan of asking for other people's interests. The magistrate ordered the arrest. Yan escaped for fear of sin.

Sixth time: Yan Jian is alive and dead. Zhao and his younger brother discussed how to dismiss their posts. Yan Jiansheng's eldest brother Yan Gong Sheng came back from the imperial examination, but regardless of his brother's life and death, instead of arranging a funeral, he went to the provincial capital to arrange a marriage for his son. Later, Zhao's son died of illness, and Wang De wrote to Yan, asking him to come back to discuss the issue of heirs. At this time, Yan got married in the provincial capital.

The seventh time: Fan went in to see the tutor. Because Jin Fan was going to Shandong to study Taoism, Zhou Jin told Jin Fan to pay attention to Xun Mei and let him go to Shandong to study. At that time, Xun Mei and Wang Hui were in the same examination room. They met the fortune teller Chen Li and made a divination for the future of Wang Hui.

Eighth time: After returning to the provincial capital, Wang Hui was ordered by the court to fill the vacancy of Nanchang magistrate, so he took office.

The Scholars is a novel of Wu in Qing Dynasty. It was written in the 14th year of Qianlong (1749) or earlier, and it was handed down as a manuscript, which was first engraved in the 8th year of Jiaqing (1803). Fifty-six chapters in the book depict the different expressions of "fame and fortune" by various people in a realistic way, on the one hand, they truly reveal the process and reasons of human nature being corroded.

Thus, it deeply criticized and mocked the corruption of bureaucracy, the disadvantages of imperial examinations and the hypocrisy of ethics at that time. On the one hand, it enthusiastically praised the protection of human nature by a few characters in a self-centered way, thus embodying the author's ideal.

Wu, the author of The Scholars, was born in a noble family. Great-grandfather and great-grandfather are two generations of "versatile officials" (Biography of Mr. Wenmu by Cheng Jinfang), and * * * has six scholars, one of whom won the second prize and one of whom was Hua Tan. And his father, Wu, was a tribute during the Kangxi period. In sixty-one (1722), Wu Kangxi was admitted as a scholar, and his father died in the same year.

Later, he left his hometown angrily and made a living by selling articles and helping friends. In the first year of Qianlong (1736), Wu participated in the pre-test of Bo Ci.
