Tong Cheng school interacted actively with literati of Ch'ang-chou(常州) as other Mid-Qing literati was generous to sects. The literati of Ch'ang-chou is the second group deserves to be focused. From late Ming, some families in Ch'ang-chou having blood ties one another shared scholarship and literature.
