He was a famous Chinese writer and researcher of historical artifacts. At the age of 14, he joined the army and wandered along the borders of Hunan, Sichuan, and Guizhou. He began his literary creation in 1924 and worked at the Chinese Historical Museum and the Institute of History of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences after the founding of the country, mainly engaged in the study of ancient Chinese history. Shen Congwen had a deep love for the Miao ethnic group, and many of his literary works describe Miao customs, attracting many passionate young hearts. They come in groups from afar, sowing the cultural seeds they obtain from the former residence in everyone's heart, blossoming and bearing fruit, creating and shaping a brilliant and beautiful cultural spring for the Chinese nation in the 21st century.
