Dr. John H. Watson is a fictional character in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Detective Sherlock Holmes, which reveals that he was born on 7 July 1852. Watson was not only Holmes's assistant, but also a recorder of Holmes's crime-solving process.
Watson received his MD from the University of London in 1878, then received training as a military doctor, was sent to fight in Afghanistan as a British army medic, and was discharged from the army in 1880 with a shoulder wound, class captain.
Until their marriage, Watson had been sharing with Holmes in the house at 221b Baker Street in London; after marrying Mary Mostan, Watson moved away from Baker Street to open a private practice.
Almost all Sherlock Holmes stories were narrated by Watson; however, Holmes often criticized Watson for describing the process of solving the case in a novel way, rather than presenting the facts objectively and scientifically.

When he first met Holmes, Watson was yellow and thin, and only a handful of bones were left. Later, the body improved, the body became stronger, and gradually became plump and symmetrical.
He has a beard and looks affinity. In the case of "The Lone Cyclist", Holmes asks Watson to investigate the situation on the ground, and when Watson returns to report, Holmes scolds him for not investigating the situation with his affinity and good communication with women.
Holmes praised Watson for his enthusiasm, intelligence, down-to-earthness, generosity, and occasionally mischievous humor, as well as the virtue of being silent and quiet, which Holmes praised more than once.
Watson's marriage was not a mystery, it is certain that he married Mary Mostan, and the marriage ended with Mary's death. However, with regard to Watson's marriage, Sir Conan Doyle's reference to the time in different passages appears to be inconsistent, so whether Watson had other marriages except for Mary's marriage, and how many paragraphs, cannot be determined.

Only the Abbey School and the Hound of the Baskervilles mention Watson smoking cigarettes in the canon. According to Ian Gateway's History of Tobacco Culture, smoking cigarettes in that era was considered poorer than pipes and cigars: "The people who smoked cigarettes were inferior. In "The Silver Horse", it is mentioned that Watson also smoked cigars.
In The Study of Blood Letters, Watson claims to have "raised a little tiger-headed dog", but the tiger-headed dog has not been mentioned since, and there are many opinions about its disappearance. In fact, in The Four Signatures, when Watson was entrusted by Holmes to borrow a hunting dog, he fed the dog candy in order to "build a friendship" with the dog. From this point of view, Watson did not know how to keep dogs.

The Dancing Man mentions Watson and Thurston playing billiards at the club, and forgers speculate that the club here may be a coalition club. This shows that Watson's billiards skills are superb enough to compete with the greatest billiards masters of the time. Billiards were very popular in England at the time, and even Queen Victoria's Windsor Castle had a pool table.
Watson was very interested in gambling. In Villa Shoscombe, Holmes asks Watson if he knows horse racing, to which Watson replies, "Logically, it should be a little." Half of my injury pension is spent on it. Watson's pension is about two pounds a week. In Silver Horse, Watson still knows nothing about horse racing, but by The Shawscombe Villa, he has become a regular on the racecourse. In The Broker's Clerk, he learned a lot about Cox and Woodhouse's involvement in Venezuelan bonds. And he distinctly remembers Arthur Pinner asking Hall Parcroft about the prices of three stocks. In Identity, Holmes does not investigate Miss Mary Sutherland's inheritance from her uncle, but Watson notes that the Interest Rate on New Zealand stocks is four and a half per cent. In The Architect of Norwood, although it is not explicitly stated, it may be Watson who tells Holmes that Mr. Cornillas may be a broker.

Watson began his writing career with The Study of Blood Letters and established a good reputation. It was his work that made Holmes famous and brought him many customers. Mycroft Holmes said in The Greek Translator: "Ever since you began to record Sherlock's case, I have heard his name everywhere. ”
Holmes gave many evaluations of Watson's literary talents in the canon.
Holmes in The Bohemian Scandal says, "I would be overwhelmed without my own Bausville." ”
In "Four Signatures", he commented on Watson's "Study of Blood Words", saying: "I have read it briefly, and I really dare not compliment it. You know, detectiveship is—or should be a precise science—and should be studied in the same calm, not emotional, way. You render it a romantic touch, and it turns out to be like a love story mixed in euclid's fifth public setting. ”
It is worth noting that, for different reasons, Holmes forbade Watson to publish some cases, some in order to keep secrets, some to resent public discussion of certain things, or to expose himself too much to the public. Watson always sought permission to publish cases, and on rare occasions, Holmes suggested that he publish a case, such as the Cornish terror, the Devil's Foot.
For Watson, he was supposed to publish cases that "illustrate the remarkable intellect of my friend Holmes," so he "chose as few sensational things as possible." However, there are also cases where this is not the case, such as "The Tenant with the Veil" is almost entirely the client's self-report. At the same time, Watson also left many unpublished cases for readers to think about.
As a writer, Watson had a talent for making mundane cases fascinating to read. The pinnacle of Huasheng's work was The Hound of baskerville, which is not only an outstanding detective work, but also an excellently conceived Gothic novel.
