Yuan Mei became a minor celebrity when he was a teenager. He is particularly good at writing poems. At the age of 24, he passed the Jinshi exam. Later, he served in the imperial court until he resigned at the age of 33 and went home.

Yuan Mei was also one of the most influential poets in the Qing Dynasty, and he was the first of the "Three Heroes of Gan Long". At the same time, Yuan Mei is also a gourmet. He wrote "Suiyuan Food List" in Suiyuan, which is a very famous menu.

Why did Yuan Mei resign? Why do you call yourself Cangshan laity, Suiyuan old man and Suiyuan master? During the 14 year of his career in Gan Long, Yuan Mei's father died suddenly and resigned to take care of his mother. Thus, 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 transformation, it was named "Suiyuan". The world calls him Suiyuan teacher. I think this is the old man and the owner of Suiyuan.

Yuan Mei is honest and doesn't like intrigue in officialdom. He resigned at the age of 40. After resigning, he settled in Jiangning, lived at the foot of Xiaocang Mountain, and became a Cangshan resident in his later years. Yuan Mei lived a comfortable life in his later years.

As a representative of the "theory of human nature" school in Qing literature, Yuan Mei advocated that the article should show the truth and not stick to the literary genre. Yuan Mei's thought gained a large number of followers at that time. Therefore, Yuan Mei's poems are criticized by some scholars as lacking in grammar and are not worth mentioning. Yuan Mei's literary achievements were still controversial at that time.

Personally, I think Yuan Mei's most famous poem is "The tent door will not open gently even if it is stormy at night" in his "Pushing the Window". These two poems are very interesting. On the surface, these two sentences are very common, nothing special, the language is easy to understand, and the scenery described is also very common. One stormy night, the author dared not open the window, so he had to put it in his room, which showed that he longed for fresh air. If we put this ordinary scene in the whole poem and taste it together, we will see its unique flavor. According to this poem, on the surface, the poet longs for fresh air and hates this stormy night. In fact, it shows the poet's desire to open the window of the soul and his dislike of secular and noisy life.

"The mountain seems to be yearning for a long time, and the window is pushed out of the water" is unique and has a strong sense of movement. The mountain seems to know its mental state and its desire for natural beauty. So he happily opened the window and saw the beautiful scenery, which showed the author's unparalleled love for nature. At first, it was a very small and casual thing in life. However, these poems are of great significance in Yuan Mei's works. The word "slap" in "Push the window into my face" is very vivid. A small push in life has become a beautiful window of the poet Zhi Tao's spirit, showing the poet's deep exploration spirit.
