He was born in Linzi, the state of Qi (now Zibo City, Shandong Province), where he studied Confucianism for generations, but he was in a very humble family. Zuo Si was not only ugly in appearance, but also dull in reading or playing piano when he was young. His father said to his friend, "this child can't catch up with me when I was a child. "This inspired Zuo Si's self-improvement. From then on, he worked hard and became a famous writer. His poems are vigorous in writing, magnificent in diction and full of momentum. Zuo Si was not good at making friends and traveling abroad. He spent a year at home and wrote the ode to the capital of Qi. He also prepared to write the ode to the capital of Wei, Shu and Wu. At this time, his sister Zuo Fen was selected as a concubine by Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty because of her literary ability, and the whole family moved to Luoyang, the capital. In order to write "San Du Fu", Zuo Si worked hard for ten years. However, he still felt that he did not know much and knew little, so he wrote to the imperial court and asked him to be the Secretary of the National Library. He also visited the author Lang Zai and asked him for advice on the scenery of Bashu. There are pens and paper everywhere in Zuo Si's house, courtyard, fence, wall and even toilet, so that wherever he goes, he can remember wonderful words and sentences and write them down on paper. During this period, Lu Ji, a talented man from the south of the Yangtze River at that time, came to Luoyang. He also wanted to write the ode to the three capitals. When he heard that Zuo Si was writing this Fu, he clapped his hands and laughed. In the letter, he said to his brother Lu Yun, "here in Luoyang, there is a countryman from all over the country who is also writing" San Du Fu ". I think that after he wrote it, his paper for copying Fu is only used to cover my wine jar!" Zuo Si kept on writing and "San Du Fu" finally came out. Although Zuo Si thinks that his San Du Fu is not inferior to Ban Gu's Liang Du Fu and Zhang Heng's Xijing Fu and Dongjing Fu in Han Dynasty, its appearance has not attracted people's attention at all. Zuo Si thinks that it is because of his low reputation that his works are difficult to be exposed to the world. Therefore, Zuo Si sent copies of Sandu Fu to the powerful and literary celebrities at that time for appreciation. As expected, after reading it, many people praised it. Huang Fumi wrote the preface, Zhang Zai and Liu Kui wrote the notes, and Wei Quan explained it. Then "San Du Fu" became famous, and the rich and powerful families rushed to buy paper to copy. For a time, the price of Luoyang paper soared and became extremely expensive. When Lu Ji saw Sandu Fu, he was also absolutely impressed, and immediately stopped writing Sandu Fu.
