Wang Mian, a native of Zhuji, is seven or eight years old. When his father asked him to go to Gansu to herd cattle, he sneaked into the school to listen to the students. After listening to it, he silently remembered it, and sometimes he forgot to herd cattle when he came back at night. Sometimes people bring the cow back and blame it for stepping on its field. His father was very angry and beat him hard with a whip and a stick, but he still wouldn't change. His mother said, "My son is crazy about this. Why not let him go? " Wang Mian then left home, lived beside the temple, came out at night, sat on the Buddha's lap, and read with an ever-burning lamp until dawn. Most of the Buddha statues are made of earth, which is ferocious and terrible. Although Wang Mian is a child, he is so calm, as if he knows nothing and is not afraid at all. When Han Xing of Anyang heard about it, he thought he was very strange, so he accepted him as a disciple, studied Confucianism, and later became a person who was familiar with Confucianism. After Han Xing's death, his disciples treated Wang Mian with the same respect as Han Xing. At that time, Wang Mian's father had died, so he took his mother to Yuecheng for the aged. Later, because his mother was homesick, he went back to his hometown. He bought a white cow and dragged his mother's car, while he followed the car in old clothes and hats. All the children in the country are scrambling to see and smile, and Wang Mian also smiled.

Writer Li Xiaoguang wants to recommend Wang Mian as a junior official. Wang Mian scolded, "I have fields to plow and books to read. Do I still want to stand in the government with documents all day and be enslaved? " He often lives in a small building. When a guest came, the doorman reported that the guest could not go up until he climbed up. An emissary passed by the city and immediately asked to see him, but he refused. The messenger walked less than a few hundred steps, and he leaned upstairs and roared, which made the messenger feel ashamed. Wang Mian was admitted to Jinshi many times, but he came last. He sighed. "This is something the children are ashamed of. How can I indulge in it? " So I gave up. He hired a boat to go to Wu Dong, crossed the river, entered Huai and Chu, and traveled all over the famous mountains and rivers. Sometimes I meet wizards and chivalrous men, talk about the deeds of ancient heroes, and immediately drink together and recite poems to express my generosity and indignation. Others called him a crazy slave. Go north to Yanjing, live in the secretary's house, and live in Qingtai Buhua. Taibuhua recommended him to work in the History Museum. He said, "You are so ignorant! In less than ten years, it will be a place where foxes and rabbits play. What kind of official should it be? " I was going back to the south that day and met his friend Lu, who was born in Luanyang and died in Luanyang. Only two young girls were left, and an extremely young girl stayed in Yanjing. I don't know what to do. After Wang Mian knew this, he traveled thousands of miles to Luanyang, retrieved Lu Sheng's bones, and took the two girls back to their homes.

After Wang Mian returned to Yuecheng, he declared that there would be chaos in the world. At that time, China had nothing, and some people said he was arrogant. He said: "I am not arrogant, who else is arrogant?" So he took his wife and children to live in seclusion in Jiulishan. Plant three acres of beans and double the millet. Plant thousands of plum blossoms and 500 peaches and apricots. I also planted taro, garlic and leek in a field 100. In addition, more than 1000 fish were raised by diverting water to dig ponds. He built three huts and named them Plum Blossom House. Wang Mian once wrote a book imitating The Book of Rites, and kept it with him at any time, not to show it to others. Take it out late at night. Then I touched the book and said, "As long as I don't die, I will take this book to see a wise master, and things like Yi Yin and Lu Shang can be realized." When the weather is fine, he writes poems with a piece of paper, which is full of momentum and makes readers stand up straight with excitement. When guests come, they don't need gifts from their hosts and guests, and they won't get tired of talking all day. Eat the food as soon as it comes, don't delay. He is good at drawing plum blossoms, not inferior to Yang Buzhi. Many people asked him to draw, and he decided how many meters he needed to change according to the length of the picture scroll. Someone laughed at him, and he said, "I live on it." Do you think I like to help others draw? " Soon, RuYing uprising happened, just Rainbow mian said:

After Zhu Yuanzhang captured Wuzhou, he was about to attack Yuecheng, found Wang Mian, asked him to be his staff, and was appointed as a counselor to join the army. But one night, he died of illness. Unfortunately, Wang Mian, who was tall, handsome, upright and ambitious, died before practicing.

The author said: When I was studying in the south of the city, Cai Meng said there was a madman in Yuecheng. When it snowed heavily, he went diving barefoot in Yue Feng. He looked around and shouted, "The world is made of white jade, which makes people feel peaceful and clear, as if they were going to become immortals." When I entered the city, I wore a hat as big as a sieve and a robe that swept the floor. I danced and danced with my sleeves flying and laughed all over the street. I wondered if there was such a person, so I asked someone who knew him. It turned out to be Wang Mian! He's such a freak! The horse can't ride, which shows its brilliance, and so can Wang Mian! [2]
