Origin and Story of 文君新醮
After the death of King Xiao of Liang, Sima Xiangru, a famous poet and prose writer of the Western Han Dynasty, returned to his hometown in Chengdu.
His friend, Wang Ji, the magistrate of Linqiong County, invited him to be a guest at the home of the wealthy businessman Zhuo Wangsun. Sima Xiangru became enamored with Zhuo Wangsun's widowed daughter, Zhuo Wenjun.
