Fang Xiaoru was born in Ninghai, Taizhou, Zhejiang Province (now Ninghai belongs to Ningbo), a famous Confucian scholar in the early Ming Dynasty. Founder street-it sounds like this street and the houses on both sides are well built. This is a smiling misunderstanding. This street, now only a few hundred meters long, has a direct relationship with the famous loyalty celebrity Fang Xiaoru. During the reign of Zhu Yuanzhang, Fang Xiaoru worked in Chengdu for three or four years to help the first generation of Shu Wang Chunzhu, who had a deep friendship, educate his son. Founder Street was named after living here.

Fang Xiaoru was born into an official family, and his father Fang Keqin was a famous child prodigy in Jiangnan. He refused to be an official of the Yuan Dynasty and took refuge in Zhu Yuanzhang. He was honest and clean, and was listed as an official in the history of Ming Dynasty. Unfortunately, Fang Keqin was involved in the air printing case and was killed. Fang Xiaoru was less than twenty years old that year.

Fang Xiaoru related introduction:

Fang Xiaoru has always followed the example of his teacher Song Lian. He is aggressive and doesn't want to be a scholar, but wants to be a model of great scholars. In the fifteenth year of Hongwu (1382), Fang Xiaoru visited Zhu Yuanzhang, and Zhu Yuanzhang clearly said to Prince Zhu Biao, "This scholar is also an old man, and I want to help you." This detail may be true, or there may be traces of later generations' processing.

But there is no doubt that Zhu Yuanzhang knew the advantages and disadvantages of Fang Xiaoru. A few years later, Fang Xiaoru was recommended by the minister, and Zhu Yuanzhang continued to let Fang Xiaoru go to the local area to hone. This is to give full play to his teaching skills and go to Hanzhong, Shaanxi. As it happens, Wang Chunzhu of Shu invited Fang Xiaoru to teach the Prince in Wang Fu.
