Li was born in an official family. His grandfather, father and uncle all come from the Cody family. Some of them are local priests and supervisors, and some are officials in Beijing.

Yuan Bo was born in Shandong. When he was three years old, his father died and he was raised by Li Nianzai, a native of Tangbo. At that time, he was a Taoist priest in Shandong and a magistrate in Dongchangfu. Yuan Bo and his uncle grew up together in Shandong.

My uncle is very strict with him. My mother has only one son, and she puts all her heart on him. Yuan Bo was smart and studious since childhood, with a wide range of interests. Whenever it is dead of night, he studies alone in the moonlight. He is good at composing artistic poems, painting and seal cutting, and knows epigraphy research.

When I was a teenager, I got a scholar and ranked first, but I never got a candidate, and my career was frustrated. In the twenty-seventh year of Guangxu, the Qing government held a special economic course. The so-called economics topic is a temporary special exam.

You must be a person with considerable qualifications and be sponsored by a prestigious official to take this exam. I have passed the exam and will be an official soon. At that time, there were many people with official titles but no real jobs.

At this time, Li Boyuan was famous for writing novels in Shanghai, and Zeng Mutao, assistant minister of the rural area, sponsored him to take a special economic exam. He refused to take the exam, and people praised him for his noble interest. Later, due to overwork, he died in Shanghai at the age of forty.

Extended data:

1886, 19-year-old Li Boyuan returned to Changzhou from Shandong to take the children's exam and became the first scholar in high school. 2 1 year-old, trying to save the door, did not sell it, so he failed to be a juror.

According to Mr. Wang's research, he became a tribute student. Changzhou belongs to Wujin County School. Students are selected once every two years, and only one person is selected at a time. It takes 10 years for an ordinary scholar to become a tribute student.

In the meantime, you have to pass the county school annual exam every year. Only if your grades rank in the top two can you qualify for promotion, and it depends on whether there are any vacancies, otherwise your grades will not be good.

Lin can directly enter the official career and get the position of discipline inspection commission. 1889, Li Yiqing tried to donate officials to Li Boyuan, but Li Boyuan refused. 1902, the Qing government set up a special economics course, imitating the example of erudition, and the candidates were recommended by officials with more than three qualities.

Ceng Guoquan's grandson Zeng Mutao recommended Li Boyuan. In July 1903, 12, Tianjin Ta Kung Pao read: "One hundred and eighty-seven people sponsored special economic subjects and candidates. There are as many as 48 people in Jiangsu. I heard that there was still one person who didn't arrive at the last minute. " This man is Li Boyuan.
