A "top talent" born in poverty
According to statistics, there were 652 literary champions in China during the period of 1300 years from the opening of the Sui and Tang Dynasties to the end of the Qing Dynasty. Among them, there are 9 literary champions and 5 martial arts champions in Guangdong Province, among which 5 literary champions and 2 martial arts champions are from Foshan, and Lun is one of them.
The paper describes the word "Bo Chou" in the name of "Yaogang". Li Yong, Nanhai County in Ming Dynasty (now Li Yong Village, Shiwan Town Street, Chancheng District, Foshan City, Guangdong Province). According to "champion village Culture" written by Chen, president of the Confucius Institute in Foshan, Lun was born in a poor family. His father worked as a farmer and helper, and then supported the ferry for a living. His family only has enough food and clothing. Due to his meager income, Lun Xian was unable to send his son to a private school. When LUN Xuwen was a child, he could only grow vegetables and sell them to subsidize his family, but he was eager to learn and often eavesdropped outside a private school in the village. The teacher was very moved and accepted him as a student for free. Because of his cleverness and thirst for knowledge, Lun Xuwen was called a child prodigy when he was eight or nine years old. In the 12th year of Hongzhi in Emperor Xiaozong of Ming Dynasty (1499), Lun Xuwen was the first in the senior high school entrance examination, palace examination was the first, and he was the champion in the senior high school entrance examination. Because Lun Xuwen is clever and good at coping, he is also called "the top scholar of ghosts".
People born in poverty attach great importance to family education. His eldest son, Lun Yihui, was the top scholar of Bingzi in Ming Dynasty and a native of Chenghua, Chen Geng. The second son, Lun Youxun, won the first prize of Zheng De in eight years (15 13), the first prize in 12 years (Huiyuan), and won the second place in palace examination (the second place), and was awarded by the Hanlin Academy. The third son, Lun Yi, Jiajing Jinshi, went to Nanjing Ministry of War to choose a doctor. A father and son are named after Kui Yuance, which is known internationally as "a four-scholar, a father and son are three yuan" and has become a beautiful talk in the local area.

Anecdotal stories have been passed down to this day.
Lun Xuwen's story of starting from scratch in Becoming the First is deeply loved by local people, and countless legends and stories have been derived around this champion, forming a unique champion culture.
It is said that the first specialty food in Guangdong and the first porridge now comes from Lunxuwen. Legend has it that Lun Xuwen was very poor when he was a child, so he had to grow and sell vegetables to make a living, and sometimes he couldn't even afford to eat. The owner of Lun's neighbor porridge shop felt sorry for his youth, so he rolled the leftover pork balls, pork vermicelli and pork liver in rice porridge, and then invited him to eat some ginger onions for free, which made Lun very grateful to the boss. After returning to his hometown as a top student in high school, Lun Xuwen returned to his hometown porridge shop, thanked his boss for his help when he was young, and asked him to cook the kind of porridge he used to eat. This kind of porridge never has a name. The boss asked Len Xuwen to name it. Lun Xuwen named it "the No.1 porridge for the champion" and wrote a plaque for the porridge shop in person. Since then, the "number one porridge" has spread in the Pearl River Delta region and Hong Kong and Macao.
