According to Biography of Celebrities in Piling in Qing Dynasty and Changzhou Volume of Jiangsu Wenzhi, Guan Juerou was born in Yanghu County, Changzhou, whose real name was Shu Quan and Zhi Sheng. In the eighteenth year of Jiaqing (18 13), Juren became an official in Gushi County, Henan Province. Daoguang moved to Xinghua Prefecture, Fujian Province in fifteen years, and died in twenty-eight years, at the age of sixty. He is the author of Chopping Things Like Zhai, Xiangxi Zhai Ci Cao and Rong Ying and Dong Ci. The preface and postscript of Six Chapters of a Floating Life all printed "Guan Yi Ru" as "Guan Yi Calyx", which should be corrected. Guan Yilong had contact with Shen Fu, so he was able to read all the manuscripts of Six Chapters of a Floating Life, and he was also the only person who had read all the manuscripts so far. It may be that during Shen Fu's visit to Rugao, there were two poems in Guan's "Xiangxi Zhai Ci Cao", one of which was "High Balcony", entitled "Sunrise flowers arrive in Rugao, and Sulu Xiang Chi Ting rains come to peach blossom"; A "Nian Nu Jiao", entitled "Cold Food Festival comes from Rugao, and Tian Bo also comes from Li Xuan, Guangdong" and so on. When Guan Zhirou was in Rugao, it depended on what Shen Fu and Shen Fu did, so there were six quatrains. This inference was made by Daoguang two years ago. If the book of keeping in good health was written after Shen Fu returned to Suzhou, they met in Rugao. When Shen copied the whole book Six Chapters of a Floating Life, he gave it to Guan, or when Guan visited Shenfu in Suzhou, he had to read the whole book, and there were six quatrains.
Yang Yinchuan bought the first four chapters of Six Chapters of a Floating Life and circulated them among friends. In the preface to Six Chapters of a Floating Life, he said: "Ye, Cai, Gu, Sun and other Wulin people are all fascinated by his books." So I had the idea of publishing this book. However, it was not until the third year of Guangxu (1877) that he compiled Six Chapters of a Floating Life into Duwuan Congchao, and made his own preface, asking Wang Tao to write a postscript, and put six quatrains and Pan's inscription in front of the book in the fourth year of Guangxu (1878) after the publication of Six Chapters of a Floating Life. In the thirty-second year of Guangxu, Huang Mosi, editor-in-chief of Soochow University, reprinted Yan Lai Hong Cong Bao. 19 15, Wang Wenkun printed Shuo and collected Six Chapters of a Floating Life, which had a great influence on the society. It is particularly worth mentioning that Dianben School in Yu Pingbo was published by Beijing Shuangfeng Society 1924, Park Society and Shanghai Mingkai Bookstore. It was the most refined version at that time, which was all the rage and reprinted repeatedly.
When Six Chapters of a Floating Life was popular, those two missing chapters unexpectedly appeared. 1935, the series of beautification literature classics published by Shanghai World Bookstore was printed with "full edition", and the last two records were impressive, only "health preservation" was named "health preservation". In front of the book is Zhao Heng's Six Chapters of a Floating Life, which introduces the origin of "Zuben":
Mr Wang Junqing, a fellow countryman, is a gentleman who studies the past and an old-timer in publishing. He included Six Chapters of a Floating Life when he published Xiang Yan Series in the last years of Guangxu in the former Qing Dynasty. In the past 30 years, he has been looking for a lost manuscript every day. Recently, I was doing a mound camp in Wuzhong, and I accidentally got him a copy of Six Chapters of a Floating Life at a cold stand. Looking through its contents, it was complete from beginning to end, even the long-lost five or six volumes were impressively included, which made him like it! Now our book is based on his banknotes, so other books are missing these five or six volumes, but our books are available, so we can praise them enough. "
