There are hundreds of Tongjing history books, such as Weiyu, Neijing and shentongqi, which are called the university after Wang Fuzhi. In the early years of Yongzheng Dynasty, the imperial court ordered Hubei and Hunan to conduct the provincial examination separately, and Wei Tingzhen, the governor of Hunan, was willing to delay. Li wrote Nanwei Fu to satirize it and draw up a solution on behalf of it. After that, the two provinces competed with each other on the issue of quota allocation. Li xiangtingzhen suggested that the two provinces should be equally distributed. Wei Tingzhen asked the imperial court according to his intention, so it was customized.
