Why Is Wang Fu Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Wang Fu , courtesy name Jiexin was a Chinese essayist, historian, philosopher, and poet during the Eastern Han Dynasty. Born in Gansu Province, Wang Fu was a studious and knowledgeable man of humble birth. Once he was discriminated by fellow villagers in youth and was later not recommended to the Court as a government official. There is little information left about him, but his only masterpiece, Qianfu Lun, is a most valuable source. Nowadays, scholars have begun to attach importance to him, but the study is confined by the lack of historical records.
