About the Author

Yuan Mei (袁枚) was an influential Qing dynasty poet, essayist, and literary critic whose work bridged classical scholarship and personal expression. Renowned for his wit, emotional candor, and rejection of rigid Confucian orthodoxy, he championed individual voice and natural feeling in literature. His extensive collected writings, including the multi-volume Xiao cang shan fang wen ji, preserve a rich legacy of poetry, prose, and literary theory that continues to shape Chinese literary studies.
