[2][3] Fu Sheng is depicted in the Wu Shuang Pu (無雙譜, Table of Peerless Heroes) by Jin Guliang.

After the Han dynasty was established in 206 BC, Fu Sheng returned home and retrieved the scrolls.

)[2] According to Sima Qian's Records of the Grand Historian, when Emperor Wen of Han (r. 180–157 BC) searched the country for copies of the Shangshu, Fu Sheng was the only person who could produce one.

As Fu was already over 90 years old and unable to travel, Emperor Wen dispatched the official Chao Cuo to study the Shangshu from him.

"The daughter’s role was crucial because Fu Sheng spoke only the dialect of the ancient state of Qi, an idiom incomprehensible to the official charged with transcribing the text.

[7] Fu Sheng's offspring held the title of Wujing Boshi (五經博士; Wǔjīng Bóshì).
