Ming and Qing History 39 Zheng Banqiao



This is a Chinese historical story about the silent symbol Zheng Banqiao, who was a prominent calligrapher and literary figure during the Qing Dynasty. One day, his teacher took him on a spring outing and saw a young female body floating under a bridge. Moved by his teacher's sympathy, Zheng spontaneously recited a poem. When his teacher asked him how he knew the woman was 16 years old, he replied that he did not, but the poem was based on his emotions. Impressed by his answer, the teacher commented that Zheng was even better than his own teacher.
