A blue-robed teacher at Qingshan Academy who only teaches children from the county town. He discriminates against country kids, calling them wild and saying they rarely amount to anything beyond passing the child scholar exam. He threw the ceremonial gifts (red beans and lotus seeds) to the ground in disgust. He dared Lu Ying that he would host a month-long banquet to apologize if the boy passed the juren exam. He was furious when Song Miaomiao quoted Confucius against him and slammed the academy gates shut.
