For a great man like Song Shiwen, every step he takes has a deep meaning.
For example, there are multiple purposes for returning to Ji County. The Shen family's title is in danger, Feng Yuan's sudden appointment, and Bai Yong's promotion are all caused by the struggles among the bigwigs.
There were two "parties" in the court. One was the "literary party" headed by Song Shiwen. They regarded themselves as literati and gentlemen. In Song Chi's view, this was just gilding themselves. Rather than calling them literati, it would be better to say that they were Song Shiwen's literati.
