When talking about Shaoxing, even if I have never been able to see her beauty with my own eyes, my memory of her will always be in my mind. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, batches of scholars with skills in law, accounting, secretarial and other fields were born here. Some were responsible for drafting memorials, familiar with classics and history, and knowledgeable about people's sentiments; some worked in accordance with the law and sorted out local criminal and civil cases. ; Some people specialize in financial and taxation affairs and have made contributions to economic development. They are intelligent and knowledgeable, and have a unified name - "Shaoxing Master". As the saying goes, "You can't make a government office without Shao". The continuous development of Shaoxing masters has also made Shaoxing's reputation for wisdom and erudition spread to all corners of the world.
The spirit of erudition, prudence, truth-seeking and impartiality represented by Master's culture has continued to influence future generations. During this summer, batches of students came to Shaoxing in admiration and continued to ignite the sparks of thought in Keqiao, a land of "outstanding people".
