However, due to the oppression of feudal ethics and the hardships of poor life, their ideals have not been realized, and they have experienced the pain of where you will go. This description of the family life between husband and wife is really rare in China's ancient literary works. There are six kinds of original records in Six Chapters of a Floating Life, but there are four existing ones: the boudoir's music, the leisure music, the rough sorrow and the quick travel notes. The last two books, Sun Yat-sen's Calendar and The Way to Keep Healthy, have been lost. The last two chapters of Six Chapters of a Floating Life published by World Bookstore 1935 are pseudographs.

Shen Fu (1763— about 1807) was born in Suzhou, Jiangsu. Shen Fu is neither a scholar nor a scholar. He was born in a well-dressed family and studied as a teacher, but after studying business, he made a living by selling paintings and traveled all over the world. Six Chapters of a Floating Life is his autobiographical work. There are six books, hence the name "Six Records". Now that I have escaped from the second kind, I still remember the joy of the boudoir in the book and see the harmony and affection of the harp and harp; Remember to be elegant and look at the minds of the poor, likes and dislikes; Remember the ups and downs of life and see the difficulties and human feelings of separation; Remember to look around and see the sights and interesting stories.

Shen Fu, born in the 30th year of Qing Qianlong (1765), died in an unknown year. The word Sanbai is from Changzhou (now Suzhou, Jiangsu). Poetry, painting and prose works. So far, no written record about his life has been found.

★ Six Stories of Floating Life
Six Chapters of a Floating Life is an autobiographical novel written by Shen Fu, a native of Changzhou in the 13th year of Yu Jiaqing in Qing Dynasty (1808). Yang Yinchuan, the brother-in-law of Wang Tao in the Qing Dynasty, found the remnant draft of Six Chapters of a Floating Life in a cold stall in Suzhou, with only four volumes, and gave it to Wang Tao, who was in charge of reporting Wenzunge in Shanghai at that time, and published it as movable type 1877. The second dictionary of a floating life tells Li Bai's poem Preface to the Spring Banquet in Taoliyuan that "the husband of heaven and earth, everything goes against the course;" Time flies, and a hundred generations fly by. And floating like a dream, for the joy of geometry? " .
version
Wen Zunge's block-printed Six Chapters of a Floating Life is the earliest existing block-printed book in China, with Yang's life introduction and Wang Tao's inscription and postscript. In the preface to Yang Yinchuan, it is said that "six records are short of two". Wang Tao once said that he read this book when he was young (before 1847), but unfortunately he didn't copy it. When he was in exile in Hong Kong, he often missed it. Wang Tao 1877' s postscript for Zunwenge Edition did not say that he had read the whole book when he was young.
From 65438 to 0936, Lin Yutang translated four chapters of Six Chapters of a Floating Life into English and serialized them in Tianxia Monthly. Later, he published a bilingual booklet with a long preface. Lin Yutang wrote in the preface: "Yun, in my opinion, is the most lovely woman in China literature." I also guess that "there must be a complete book in Suzhou's family collection or second-hand bookstore."
Soon after, a complete manuscript appeared in a cold stall in Suzhou, with five volumes and six volumes, which was actually forged for future generations.
Yu Pingbo wrote Six Chapters of a Floating Life on the basis of the first four chapters of Six Chapters of a Floating Life.

Shen Fu (Sanbai) told the story of his orchid planting, saying that a friend gave him a pot of lotus petals, and he was a treasure.
It suddenly withered in less than two years! It turns out that some people also love orchids and want to share them, but they can't. They put orchids one by one with boiling water.

"Strive to plant orchids"; Planting orchids all over the garden can fulfill one wish of loving orchids, and the other can vent their anger.

The first time I saw Six Chapters of a Floating Life was around 1980, and I liked it very much at that time. In Yang Xu's words, it is "ecstasy after reading". Later, I took out Six Chapters of a Floating Life from time to time and looked through it.
The year before last, I had the opportunity to travel to East China and stayed in Suzhou for one night. That night, I went to Canglang Pavilion to find Shen Fu's former residence. Turn in from Wu Dong Avenue, and a few meters wide path is Canglang Road. Walk into it for dozens of meters, across a small river, opposite Canglangting Park, with a bridge. The park closes at night, so you can't go in. There are no street lamps in that area, and it is dark. On the way, I asked a couple if they knew the location of the former residence of Shen Fu, the author of Six Chapters of a Floating Life. They said no, but it seems that they don't even know such books as Six Chapters of a Floating Life. Further on, next to Canglang Pavilion, there is a great memorial hall belonging to a painter. I remember it was the Yan Memorial Hall. I turned to the back of the memorial hall, where there was a dense old house, residential houses and alleys only about two or three meters wide. I casually walked into a hotel owner's house and chatted with the old man who looked after the store for a while. Later, his son also came out to talk to me. They don't know Six Chapters of a Floating Life, and they don't know Shen Fu. Speaking of Yan, they are all very proud, saying that the old man saw Yan with his own eyes when he was a child. I also asked about Cangmi Lane mentioned in Six Chapters of a Floating Life. They said there was such an alley, but a few years ago, the old city was rebuilt and the alley was gone. This is the only gain I got that night.
I heard that Lin Yutang had been to Shen Fu's former residence once before, but he couldn't find it. Shen Fu's former residence seems to be gone. There are so many cultural relics in Suzhou that the government may never pay attention to Shen Fu, a nobody who has never been famous.
