His ancestors moved from Weihui of Henan Province to Lishui in Chunyou period of Southern Song Dynasty. His father Pu Yuan (langyuan) gave birth to four sons and two daughters. Among the four sons, Pu Wensheng, Pu Wenchang and Pu Wenxi lived in Siam, followed by Pu Wenyi and Pu Wenxiang.

Life experience

Pu Wenxian, an attached student of Buxian school, went to Sichuan with his father. Because of the occupation of Jinling by the Taiping army, the provincial examination was stopped, so the name was changed to Wen Siam. Together with his third younger brother Pu Wenchang, he passed the imperial examination in 1859 and later in 1865. During his more than 10 years in the Ministry of criminal justice, Pu Wenxian wrote the book "notes on prison", which was regarded as a law at that time. He participated in the trial of many important cases of Chaoqian, vindicated many unjust convictions, and showed his quality and ability of being upright in solving cases. In the ninth year of Guangxu (1883), Pu Wenxian entered Tongguan Daotang, and later he was granted the title of Nanyang Prefecture magistrate. Pu Wenxian was the governor of Nanyang for more than 10 years (in the middle, he was the governor of Kaifeng and Zhangde). In Nanyang Prefecture, there was an old system in which children participated in the examination. The participants had to donate money as a ladder to enter the city. The counties used this part of the income to build the city walls and organize group exercises. When Pu Wenxian took office, he got rid of the old system, saying, "it's because the poor get their own hard work, but they are not lucky." The source of Huaihe River in the east of Nanyang Prefecture is often flooded because it has not been dredged for a long time. After Pu Wenxian took office, he built embankments to ensure the safety of people on both sides of the river. This move was valued by the superior, and all prefectures and counties were instructed to follow suit. Because Pu Wen Siam was in charge of Nanyang Prefecture well, "his political voice was overflowing in Zhongzhou, and his virtue was full of population", the imperial court granted Pu Wen Siam the official title of three grades, rewarded him with Hualing, and promoted him to a Taoist official. After the death of his stepmother, Pu wensie was no longer an official and became the head teacher of the University. Guangxu 31 years (1905), went to Shandong eldest son Pu Xian Ke Ren to raise. In the first year of Xuantong (1909), he died on the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month at the age of 80.

In 1865, Pu Wenxian and his younger brother Pu Wenchang wrote a postscript to "Zhi Yanzhai's re evaluation of stone". the inscription is as follows - "although a dream of Red Mansions is a novel, it's melodious, subtle and obvious, which is quite in the way of historians. Yu Xiang read the published edition of the world, often against his own will, eager to play the author of a tan. Seeing this book, I am glad to say that it is true. The son attaches great importance to his treasure. Both Qingshi and Chunyu were in the garden and knew it. "It's Meng Qiu."
