    Sima Xiangru is a native of Chengdu, Shu County, he liked to read when he was a teenager, and he admired Lin Xiangru very much, so he changed his name to Xiangru. He was awarded the position of Lang official by virtue of his family's wealth, served Emperor Xiaojing, and became a regular attendant of martial arts, but this was not his hobby. Just in time to catch up with Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty did not like to resign, at this time King Xiao came to the capital to see Emperor Jing, and he came to be good at lobbying people, including Zou Yang from Qi County, Mei Cheng from Huaiyin, and Mr. Zhuang Ji from Wu County.

    Sima Xiangru fell in love with these people when he saw them, so he resigned from his official position on the grounds of illness and lived in Liangguo. King Xiao of Liang let Xiangru and these scholars live together, and Sima Xiangru had the opportunity to get along with scholars and lobbyists for several years, so he wrote "Zixu Fu".

    After the death of King Xiao of Liang, Sima Xiangru returned to Chengdu. However, his family is poor and he has no job to support himself. Xiangru has always gotten along well with Linqiong County Ling Wangji, so he went to Linqiong and temporarily lived in a small pavilion in the city.

    Linqiong's wealthy Zhuo Wang Sun prepared a banquet to invite him, and Linqiong ordered Wang Ji to personally go to greet Xiangru. At this time, Zhuo Wangsun had a daughter named Wen Jun, who had just been widowed for a short time and liked ** very much, so Sima Xiangru pretended to respect each other with the county order, and used the sound of the piano to secretly induce her admiration. After the banquet, it was like entrusting someone to reward Wenjun's waiter with a lot of money, so as to convey his admiration to her.

    So, Zhuo Wenjun escaped from home at night and eloped with Xiangru, who hurried back to Chengdu with Wenjun. When I entered the house, there was nothing but four walls standing there.

    After a long time, Zhuo Wenjun felt unhappy in the face of poverty in life, so Sima Xiangru came to Linqiong with Wenjun, sold all his cars and horses, bought a hotel, and started a wine business. And let Wen Jun personally preside over the drinking before the court to deal with the customer's affairs. When Zhuo Wangsun heard this, he felt very ashamed, so he closed his door.

    As a last resort, Zhuo Wangsun had no choice but to give Wenjun's family a hundred slaves, one million money, as well as her clothes, bedding and various belongings when she got married. Wen Jun returned to Chengdu with Sima Xiangru, bought a field and a house, and became a wealthy family.

    After a long period of time, one day, after Emperor Wu read "Zixu Fu", he thought that the writing was good, so he summoned Sima Xiangru to ask. It is like asking to write a safari for the Son of Heaven. After this fu was written, it was presented to the emperor, and the emperor appointed Xiangru as a lang official.

    For example, when Tang Meng was ordered to plunder and open Yelang and his western servants, he levied thousands of officials and soldiers from Ba and Shu counties, and more than 10,000 people were requisitioned by land and water transportation personnel from Xijun for him. He used wartime laws to kill the marshal, and the people of Ba and Shu were shocked and frightened. When the emperor heard this, he sent Xiangru to reproach Tang Meng, and took the opportunity to inform the people of Ba and Shu that what Tang Meng did was not the emperor's intention.

    After completing the mission, he returned to Beijing to report to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. The emperor appointed Xiangru as the general of Zhonglang and ordered the envoy to be envoys.

    Since then, he has been deprived of his official position by someone who has accepted bribes when he was on an envoy. He stayed at home for more than a year, and was called to the imperial court as a lang official. Later, he was awarded the official title of Emperor Wen of Han's cemetery, and he often used his illness to stay at home, and he suffered from diabetes.

    Later, he was dismissed due to illness and died at home.
