He is famous for his free and easy life, leaving many affairs. His masterpiece is Suiyuan. Yuan Mei has been familiar with reading since childhood and is good at writing poems and lyrics. After four years in Qianlong, that is, 1739, Yuan Mei, who was only 24 years old, was awarded a bachelor's degree in imperial academy. In the seventh year of Qianlong (1742), Yuan Mei was transferred as an official and served as a magistrate in Shuyang, Jiangning and Shangyuan. Yuan Mei is in power, not afraid of powerful people. In the 14th year of Qianlong, Yuan Mei's father died, so he resigned and returned to his hometown to adopt his mother. At the same time, I bought a house in Jiangning, now Nanjing. The garden he bought was renovated by Yuan Mei and became a famous private garden at that time. Yuan Mei was also adopted. After attending his mother's funeral at the age of 67, Yuan Mei began a long journey, visiting Tiantai Mountain, Yandang Mountain, Huangshan Mountain, Guangdong Luofu Mountain, Danxia Mountain, Wuyishan and other places. Yuan Mei wrote many essays and travel notes during his trip. Until the year of his death, Yuan Mei, 8 1 year-old, was still traveling in Wujiang. You know, in ancient times, traffic was inconvenient and communication was not smooth. Yuan Mei can still travel in his later years.

Yuan Mei, as a representative figure of "the theory of spiritual nature" in the history of literature, pursued a free and unrestrained life creed all his life. He was a maverick in the literary world of Qing Dynasty at that time. Yuan Mei was also reprimanded by his peers. Even the central court can't stand Yuan Mei's reckless behavior, but some people hate Yuan Mei and others like him. As a true poet, Yuan Mei still had many followers at that time. Yuan Mei Han nationality, Jane Zhai, a famous poet and essayist in Qing Dynasty, was born in Hangzhou, Zhejiang. Many people don't know what a layman Yuan Mei is. In ancient times, especially poets, everyone was very concerned about this. As a famous poet, Yuan Mei also has his own unique title. In his later years, he was named Cangshan layman, Suiyuan old man and Suiyuan master. What kind of laity is Yuan Mei? This has a lot to do with his life and personality. Yuan Mei was a minor celebrity when he was a teenager, and he was especially good at writing poems. At the age of 24, he passed the Jinshi exam. Later, he became an official in the imperial court until he resigned at the age of 33 and went home. At that time, the whole city lined up to see him off, and everyone was reluctant to leave him, which shows that he won the hearts of the people.

He wrote a menu with the garden, which is a very famous cookbook.

Why did Yuan Mei resign? Why do you call yourself a layman in Cangshan, an old man in the garden and a master in the garden? In the 14th year of Qianlong, Yuan Mei's father died suddenly, so he resigned and went home to take care of his mother. It can be seen that Yuan Mei is not only a good official and poet, but also a dutiful son. After resigning, he bought an abandoned garden in Jiangning. After some renovation, he named it Suiyuan, and the world called him Suiyuan. I think this is the old man who matches the garden. Come with the host. Yuan Mei is honest and doesn't like the intrigue of officialdom. He resigned at the age of forty. After resigning from his post, he settled in Jiangning and lived at the foot of Kokura Mountain. In his later years, he called himself a Cangshan layman. Yuan Mei lived a very comfortable life in his later years, traveled to famous mountains and had close contacts with many poets at that time. Yuan Mei is a good official in officialdom, a famous poet in the choir, and lives at leisure.

Not in Yuan Mei. What? No. Jianzhai, the word zicai, the number. Zhai is a famous poet, essayist and literary critic in Qing Dynasty. He was born in 17 16 and died in 1797. Most of his life stories are known as "delicious", "lustful" and "easy to swim", and he is a school of "spiritual theory". Yuan Mei's Poems with the Garden, Fang Shan Collection of Kokura and Shi Dan with the Garden are all masterpieces handed down from generation to generation, which are highly praised by many literati and poets in later generations. Yuan Mei, as a representative of the theory of "soul" in Qing literature, advocated that articles should not be confined to literary genres, but should show their authenticity. Yuan Mei's thought gained a large number of followers at that time, so Yuan Mei's poems were criticized by some scholars as poor grammar and not worth mentioning. Yuan Mei's literary achievements were still controversial at that time. After all, as a representative of a new school, his literary value has no history. Yuan Mei not only advocated freedom and frankness in literature, but also came down in one continuous line in treating people.

Yuan Mei became famous at a young age, was promoted at the age of 24, but resigned and retired at the age of 33. He lived in Suiyuan for more than ten years and only did one thing, that is, the pastime of scholars. Yuan Mei has the same obsession with food and beauty, and has written the Bible "Food List with Fate" which is suitable for both men and women. When Yuan Mei knew his fate, he was still concubinage, looking for beautiful women. Yuan Mei also said a famous saying about this. Yuan Mei was also the first scholar with a business mind in Qing Dynasty. At the beginning, he built a garden with a private kitchen to attract guests. When Suiyuan became famous, Yuan Mei sold his books "Suiyuan Food List" and "Suiyuan Poetry" in Suiyuan, and Yuan Mei made a lot of money from these two investments.
