- Description
Mei Yuan, known as Tzutsai (courtesy name) and Jianzhai or Sui yuan lao jen (pseudonym), was born in Zhejiang, China. Yuan and his equally famous friend, Hsiaolan Ji (1724-1805) are very renowned poets and essayists during the era of Qianlong Emperor (1711-1799). Yuan is not interested in pursuing a political career so he left official positions at age of thirty-eight and lived in Sui Yuan (the Garden of Laissez-Aller) to pursue his literary interest. With a great amount of poetry and essay publication, Yuan is considered as a productive scholar. His works such as “Xiaocang shanfang wenji”, “Suiyuan shihua” and “Lament for My Younger Sister” are viewed as extraordinary masterpieces.

All windows in each floor face water. Huge trees grow up to the sky.
層軒皆面水；喬木上參天。
