Sun Xingyan read a lot of books and was diligent in writing. He lived in Liulichang, often dealing with antique dealers and booksellers, and had a very professional knowledge of appreciating zhong ding and stele stone carvings.
He Yan was a heavy courtier of the Qianlong period and was well collected. He Yan knew that Sun Xingyan had eyesight in bronze, so he wanted to invite him to the palace to identify the collection. He Yan collected 22 large bronze dings, but he could not tell which one was from the Shang Dynasty and which one was from the Zhou Dynasty. He Yan repeatedly entrusted people to invite Sun Xingyan, but Sun Xingyan never went to see him.
After Qianlong's death, the Jiaqing Emperor immediately pronounced 20 counts of Hezhen and ordered him to commit suicide and confiscate his family property. Among them, the most valuable is a total of nearly 30,000 pieces of antiques, treasures and jewelry. Hezhen's private collection is numerous and exquisite, which can be said to be unprecedented
After He Yan was given the death to raid his home, people asked Sun Xingyan: "When He Yan controlled the government, he asked you many times to identify, why didn't you go?" Sun replied, "Heyan is a corrupt villain who does not understand the knowledge of Jinshi, 'The Tao is different, and it is not a conspiracy.'" ”
Appreciation:
Interpretation: Jia Si suddenly comes, poetry can drink; pride is always going, and the sword can be given to people.

Surrounded by modern buildings in Shuangguifang, Changzhou City, the group of Ming and Qing dynasty residences covering an area of nearly 900 square meters adjacent to Park Road on the south side of the road appear to be low and decaying, but it is thick and heavy. Because it once had two historical and cultural celebrities: Sun Shenxing, a famous Donglin party member in the late Ming Dynasty, and his seventh grandson, Sun Xingyan, who was known as the "Wizard of the World" in the middle of the Qing Dynasty.
