 钱维乔，（1739-1806）清文学家、戏曲家。字树参，季木，小字阿逾，号曙川，又号竹初，半园、半竺道人、半园逸叟、林栖居士等。江苏武进人。乾隆十年状元钱维城之弟。乾隆二十七年（1 七六二）举人。曾讲学于如皋露香草堂，门前种竹，自号竹初居士。

 　乾隆三十三年，其妻亡故，为悼念亡妻，取古诗《孔雀东南飞》所咏刘兰芝的故事，作《碧落缘》传奇二卷。情犹未已，又根据《聊斋·阿宝》故事，作《鹦鹉媒》传奇二卷。上卷2l 出，下卷20 出，系演述孙荆与王宝娘两人生死之恋，手法奇特，受到许多江南名士的赏识。乾隆三十四年公车北上（古时指考生一同 赴京赶考），落第滞于京寓，见到明代画家张灵（梦晋）美女、花鸟画各1 帧，笔墨秀润，与唐寅画法相仿佛，甚奇。归里后考据张灵生平，见《张灵崔莹合传》，尤感其事其情之悲，乃作《虎阜缘》（别名 《乞食图》）传奇二卷，演述张灵与崔莹悲欢离合生死之恋的故事，颇受当时士林与梨园之欣赏。因剧中主人公与《西厢记》的张生、崔莺莺同姓，故亦有《后崔张》之名。又因剧中穿插风流名士唐伯虎等人的故事，在乾隆年间的表演 曾轰动1 时。乾隆5 十七年（1792），钱维乔前后 任浙江遂昌、鄞县知县期间，将所作的三种传奇刊于官署，合称《竹初乐府》，有多种刻本传世。

 　钱维乔学贯古今，诗文博瞻。工书善画。精于音律，晚通禅理。著有《钱竹初山水精品》、《竹初文钞》、《竹初诗钞》、《竹初不决 稿》等，并曾与钱大昕一同 合修《鄞县志》。归里后，于嘉庆八年（1803）购得唐宇昭半园之半为宅度暮年 ，作有《半园之半记》。卒年六十八岁。

　钱维乔早岁即工 翰墨，得其兄钱维城之传，为兄代作，已咄咄逼真，而 文秀之气过之。后笔尤苍厚，山水茂密不繁， 峭秀不塞，作家士气兼备。晚岁笔墨尤精，随意所作，疏老苍浑。因作品风格酷似其兄，当时有“常州二钱”之誉。

In the thirty-third year of Qianlong reign, in memory of his wife's death, Liu Lanzhi's story in the ancient poem Peacock Flying Southeast was chosen as the second volume of the legend "Bi Luo Yuan".

Volume 2, volume 2, volume 20, is a play about the love between Sun Jing and Wang Baoniang, which is unique and appreciated by many famous scholars in Jiangnan. In Qianlong's thirty-four years, the bus went north (in ancient times, candidates went to Beijing to catch the exam together) and fell behind in Beijing residence. It was very strange to see the Ming Dynasty painter Zhang Ling (Dream Jin) painting beautiful women, flowers and birds, each frame with beautiful brush and ink, which was similar to Tang Yin's painting. After returning to Li, according to Zhang Ling's life, I found the biography of Zhang Ling Cui Ying, especially the sadness of his feelings. He wrote two volumes of the legend "Hufuyuan" (also known as "Begging Picture"), which tells the story of the love of life and death between Zhang Ling and Cui Ying, which was appreciated by scholars and pear orchards at that time. Because the protagonists in the play share the same surname as Zhang Sheng and Cui Yingying in The Story of the Western Chamber, they are also named Hou Cui Zhang. Because of the story of Tang Bohu, a famous scholar, and others, the performance in Qianlong Dynasty was a sensation. During Qianlong 57 years (1792), Qian Weiqiao successively took office in Suichang, Yinxian County, Zhejiang Province. He published three kinds of legends in the official office, collectively known as "Yuefu of Zhuchu". There were many engraved copies handed down.
