Shao Bo was a politician, strategist and economist in the late Spring and Autumn Period. Chu Wan (now Nanyang, Henan) was born. From the time when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty exclusively respected Confucianism and resisted businessmen, scholars (taxis here are not pan-intellectuals, but Confucian intellectuals), agriculture, industry and commerce were all listed, with scholars as the head and businessmen as the last. Even in the commercially developed Song Dynasty, there were still businessmen who had to wear black and white shoes with bad rules, so Fan Li made brilliant achievements in his life. But in Sima Qian's records, we can at least see that before the early Han Dynasty, people did not discriminate against businessmen so much, so he can be recorded in historical records for future generations to read widely!

He entered Vietnam around 496 BC, assisted Gou Jian for more than 20 years, and finally made Gou Jian destroy Wu in 473 BC. Fan Li thought it was difficult to live in a famous place for a long time, so he crossed the sea by boat. After that, the father and son worked hard and harvested hundreds of thousands of crops. Qi people smell their sages and make them look at each other. He resigned, settled in Taotao (now northwest of Dingtao County, Shandong Province, or Taoshan in Feicheng, Shandong Province), and accumulated huge sums of money in business, so he was called "Tao Zhugong".

Fan Li, a rare wise man in the pre-Qin period, can not only govern the country with soldiers, but also protect his family. History books summarize his life as "keeping pace with the times and not complaining about others".
