Yuan Zongdao (1560 ~ 1600) was born in Boxiu, and his real name was Pan Yu, with the word Shi Pu. Ming Dynasty writer, Ming Huguang public security (now Hubei) people. "In the seventeenth year of Wanli (1589), does not try first, and palace examination became the first scholar in Dimethyl (Sichuan). The following year, he was edited by Imperial College London and won the Jishi Shu Prize. In the heyday of the retro school, Bai Juyi and Su Shi became one of the representatives of the public security school. In August of the twenty-fifth year of Wanli, imperial academy wrote that the East Palace was an official, "The cock crows in, and the cold and the heat are endless". In the 26th year of Wanli, Sanyuan * * * initiated the organization of "Pu Tao Society" in Guo Chong Temple in the western suburbs of Beijing, and wrote poems to attack the "Seven Sons". Twenty-eight years of Wanli (1600), November 4th (65438+ February 9th), exhausted from Beijing. At the age of 40. Guangzong succeeded to the throne as the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites. Fresh and beautiful, steady and peaceful. 15 years, worked as an official in the East Palace, "making friends in the province, simply socializing" and "not accepting money from others". After his death, he had only a few pieces of gold in his pocket and could hardly be buried.

He is the author of the 22-volume Su Su Zhai Ji. Unlike others, most of his poems and essays are spontaneous and sincere. His representative works include Tan Shan Yi, Fang Shang Shan and Xiao Xi Tian Yi, but his works, like Yuan Hongdao, lack content, which is also caused by his creative thoughts. Yuan Zongdao admired Bai Juyi and Su Shi, and his study was named "Bai Su Zhai". During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, the antique bodies represented by Wang Shizhen and Li Panlong still had great influence. Yuan Zongdao strongly opposed it, and shared the same interests with his brothers Yuan Hongdao and Yuan Zhongdao, so he was called the Public Security School. He believes that the essence of the article lies in speech. Ancient prose is left behind, so we should learn from it. "Learn what it means, don't be muddy.". If you want to speak out, you must first have "reason" (ideological knowledge), "from birth, from reason to text", such as the pre-Qin and Han Dynasties, Tang and Song Dynasties, "reason is filled in the stomach, and text follows." Secondly, we must have true feelings. "There is no joy in my heart and I want to laugh, but I want to cry without sadness, so I have to imitate it by ear" (see "Paper" above). From this point of view, his poetry creation is not simulated, but frank and natural. Travel prose, such as Tan Shan I, Fang Shang Shan I, Xiao Xi Tian I; Bamboo slips are very emotional and touching, such as answering the second class reunion, answering three brothers and two friends. Some chapters in prose, such as Reading University and reading of the analects of confucius, are easy to understand and alert. However, most of his essays are based on literati's leisure, reasoning and talking about Zen, which has little social significance. Poetry is not as good as prose, and there are few excellent works.

The three brothers Yuan played a unique role in the formation of the literary theory of "Gong 'an School". In the repeated theoretical struggle, the ternary formed an orderly echelon. Yuan Zongdao was the first pioneer who opposed retro. As Qian, a literary critic, said in Poems of Past Dynasties, the "Public Security School" actually originated from Boxiu (Yuan Zongdao). "Yuan Zongdao praised Bai Juyi and Su Shi very early, and named his study" Essence ",which means to advocate popular and close to spoken words and make his works easy to understand. Yuan Zongdao occupies an important position in the literary world of Ming Dynasty. Brother Hongdao, Zhongdao, and the number three principles, Hongdao is actually the leader of the public security school. His system theory became the literary program of public security schools. He opposes blind archaization and advocates that words should change at any time. His goal is to discard the false and retain the true and express the spirit. He believes that the natural spirit can lead to the interest and charm of the article, which all come from "unintentional" or "childlike innocence". He highly praised the folk popular literature as the "true voice" of "ignorance". Yuan Hongdao's prose is distinctive, fresh and lively, which is outstanding in Marriage. Today, there are more than 280 letters and more than 200 essays. The work is really touching, the language is simple, and there is no trace of an axe. He wrote more than 1700 poems of various styles, and his achievements were not as good as those of prose. He is the author of My Basket Collection, Jin Fan Collection, Jiefang Collection, Guangling Collection, Bottle Flower Zhai Collection, Little Bitang Collection, Broken Yan Zhai Collection and Song Hua Youcao. Today, Qian Bocheng compiled Yuan Hongdao's Ji Jian School. Yuan Hongdao has no intention of official career. In the twenty years of Wanli (1592), he was a scholar, but he didn't want to be an official, so he went to study with his teacher and traveled around the mountains and rivers. Resigned from Wuxian county magistrate, played in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and wrote many famous travel notes, such as Tiger Hill and First Arriving at West Lake. He was born to love the natural landscape and even ventured to board. He once said, "Take care of your body and your life, so why travel around?" "It's better to die in Leng Shi than in bed." (Waterfall from Kaixian Temple to Huangyan Temple) In the process of climbing near the water, his thoughts were liberated, his personality was publicized, and his enthusiasm for literary creation was particularly high.
