He has a deep friendship with Du Fu. In the summer of 758 A.D. (the first year), Du Fu joined the army and served as the secretariat of Huazhou. The night before, he gave a farewell drink and gave each other poems, namely "Rewarding Meng Yunqing". In the winter of the same year, they met in Luoyang and went to Liu Hao's house for a drink. Du Fu also wrote a poem, "In the eastern suburbs of late winter, Meng Yunqing met the East Lake in the city, returned to Liu Haojia, and the banquet was drunk", which described the scenes of joys and sorrows of each other and expressed the sincere feelings between poets.
His poems faithfully described the sufferings of the people in the war at that time and expressed their helplessness in serving the country and their friendship with relatives and friends. In 766 (the first year of Daqing), Meng Yunqing went, and Jie Yuan wrote a poem as a farewell, entitled "Send a Book to Meng School".
Anecdote Meng Yunqing and Du Fu have a deep friendship. In the summer of 758 (the first year of the Tang Dynasty), Du Fu joined the army as the Four Duke of Huazhou. The night before, he gave a farewell drink and gave each other poems, namely "Rewarding Meng Yunqing". In the winter of the same year, they met in Luoyang and went to Liu Hao's house for a drink. Du Fu also wrote a poem, "At the end of winter, the east capital of things, the city and lake met Meng Yunqing in the east, and Liu Hao stayed at home, and the banquet broke up because of drunken songs", which described the scenes of mutual joy and sadness and expressed the sincere feelings between poets.
Jie Yuan spoke highly of Meng Yunqing's poems. In 760 (the third year of Tang Dynasty), he compiled a collection of poems, including 24 poems by seven poets at that time, including 5 poems by Meng Yunqing. The poem faithfully describes the sufferings of the people in the war at that time, expressing their feelings that they could not serve the country and their friendship with their relatives and friends. In 766 (the first year of the Tang Dynasty's Dali period), Meng Yunqing went, and Yuan Jie wrote a poem as a farewell, entitled "Send a Book to Meng School". In the preface of the poem, Jie Yuan claimed: "Meng Yunqing of Pingchang and Yuan Cishan are in the same state, and they have been studying Ci for decades ... the wood industry is not as good as that of Ershan Yunqing; Cifu, two mountains are not as clear as clouds; Tonghe, the two mountains are not as good as Yunqing ... Yunqing is less than six or seven years old, and Yunqing is famous all over the world.
Meng Yunqing is one of the seven sons of Yuan Jie's Zuo Zhuan. Like the other six people, he was proficient in the ancient Five Dynasties, noble in spirit, striving for the Han and Wei Dynasties, refusing to be gorgeous and returning to simplicity. The fifth part of Du Fu's Twelve Poems for Relieving boredom says: "Li Wu is my teacher, and Mencius' thesis is more doubtful. He hasn't left a common guest for a meal, and he saw some poems today. "It is generally believed that Meng Yunqing's poems originated from Su Li's Poetry Talks handed down from generation to generation. Gao Zhongwu believes that "the ancestors told the story of Shen Qian Yun and fished and hunted Chen ()" ("Between Zhongxing") shows that Meng Shi was a teacher of the current dynasty. Zhang Wei wrote a picture of the poet's subject and object, and respected Meng Yunqing as a "master of abstinence in ancient times", which shows that the lofty style of Meng's poetry was really unique in the middle Tang Dynasty. The narrow theme of his poems has hurt the decline of moral atmosphere, but poems such as "Tigers and leopards don't eat each other, and people are doomed" (one of the two sad poems) are praised by people. In terms of art, Wuqiao's Poems Around the Furnace in Qing Dynasty said that Meng Yunqing's poems were "straightforward", which was in line with reality.
Complete Tang Poetry consists of 1 volume of Meng Yunqing's poems, including 17 poems and 4 zero sentences. For deeds, see Chronicle of Tang Poems and Talented Persons of Tang Dynasty.

Appreciate cold food, festivals, the day before Qingming. During the Spring and Autumn Period, Jiezitui followed Zhong Er, the son of the State of Jin, away from home for nineteen years. Behind the ear is Jin Wengong, a reward for his followers. Without official seal, he lived in seclusion with his mother in Mianshan, and was forced out after burning the mountain. He refused and burned the branches. Taiyuan, Shangdang, Xihe, Yanmen and other places ban fire and cold every winter to 150 days in the future, commonly known as the Cold Food Festival. Meng Yunqing once lived in Jingzhou and lived a very poor life after being frustrated in Tianbao. On the eve of such a cold food festival, he wrote this quatrain.
The Cold Food Festival is on the 105th day from winter to the future, which is February. Due to the warm climate in the south of the Yangtze River, February is full of flowers. The first sentence of the poem describes phenology and points out the season. The word "man" conveys the feeling of flowers and beauty given by spring in the south of the Yangtze River. It is quite natural to touch the scene like this. It should have been a pleasure to match this beautiful moment, but the second sentence unexpectedly wrote "sad". The author is from Kansai, traveling far south of the Yangtze River, alone in a foreign country, a stranger; Cold food festival, missing relatives, can not help but feel sad. In addition, the word "cold food" here not only refers to festivals, but also implies the meaning of eating less and not eating, so "cold food in other places" is even more tragic.
It is common in poetry to write sad feelings with sad scenes, which is also an artistic technique of contrast. However, before writing "Cold food elsewhere is far from sad", this poem first depicts the beautiful scenery of "Jiangnan is full of flowers in February". In the sad situation, it is different from the natural situation, because "flowers, as high as my window, hurt the wandering heart" can only multiply its sadness. Proper use of artistic techniques of contrast will make expression more powerful.
The second couplet took the last sentence of "cold food" and wrote to break the fire. The custom of forbidding fire in cold food is said to commemorate the sage Jietui in the Spring and Autumn Period. In this festival, people go out to eat ready-made food in spring. There is no smoke in the wild, the air is particularly fresh and the scenery is particularly beautiful and lovely. This special festival scenery and atmosphere will give people a fresh and pleasant feeling, and the memory of ancient sages will make poets and literati soar and sing. There have always been many poems about cold food, but the author of this poem has never published it. Judging from the word "sad", the feeling of poverty is different from that of cold food. Cold food "no fireworks" is a custom to commemorate children, while living in poverty "no fireworks" is the result of life. For the rich, once the cooking is broken, it means the happiness of the festival; For the poor, "frequent" cooking is broken, which contains many embarrassing bitterness! The author skillfully links the two and reveals the social essence at that time with the word "not lonely", which contains deep injustice. Its artistic conception is unique. It is also a way of comparison to write things that look the same but are essentially different.
It means that this poem writes the bitterness of the poor by chanting "cold food", but it does not make a big fuss about the word "poor". Look at the "Cold Food Festival Sacrificing the Magistrate" in the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties: "It's a pity to laugh at the beginning, but a boat is wasted in three ways. I was ashamed that my neighbor taught me to turn off the fire, and I realized that the kitchen had long been smoke-free. " As far as its artistic conception is concerned, it obviously follows Meng's poems. However, it is too mean to talk about poverty and count your possessions and just say "laugh", "pity" and "shame"; Say "no fire" and say "no smoke". Not only is it tiring to choose words and make sentences, but it is also too artificial and touching. Far less than Meng Yunqing's poems. Although it is a sad reality, its tone is humorous. The third and fourth sentences seem to be the author's self-mockery: the world is preparing to turn off the cold food of the Ming Dynasty to commemorate the sages; But poor people like me live a "cold food" life every day, but they don't have to bother. This kind of humor is a wry smile, which seems to be an understatement, but it is very interesting to write, conveying a kind of sadness that captures people's hearts. It can be seen that poetry should not be over-carved, but it is implicit. It is precisely because of its novel meaning and ingenious conception, especially the proper use of contrast that it has become a rare masterpiece among countless cold food poems.
The evaluation of Yuan Jie attaches great importance to Meng Yunqing's poems. In 780 (the third year of Gan Yuan), he compiled 24 poems by seven contemporary poets, including 5 poems by Meng Yunqing. His poems faithfully describe the sufferings of the people in the war at that time. They have been friends for decades. Wood industry, two mountains are not as clear as clouds; Poetry, two mountains are not as good as Yunsui, Tonghe, and two mountains are not as good as Yunqing ... Yunqing is less than six or seven years old, and Meng Yunqing is world-famous and his confidant is in the court. In the year of Ershan, there is nothing that can be done. He spoke highly of Meng Yunqing's character and talent, and warmly praised each other's brotherly and sincere friendship.
