Literature: Ji Yun's official career and academic activities began in the middle and late18th century, which was an important pivotal period in the history of China's ideology and culture. Ji Yun has always been a fan of official academic work. Whenever there is an editorial battle or a book revision, he will be present.
He led and participated in the compilation of many important classics all his life. Therefore, Ji Yun is a scholar who has made great contributions to the cultural history of China. He paid attention to Sikuquanshu all his life, and his Notes on Yuewei Caotang and Ji Wenda's Public Legacy Collection have also been circulated to this day.
Politics: the last battle of disaster relief. Politically, Ji Yun cares about people's sufferings. In the summer of the fifty-seventh year of Qianlong (1792), there was a flood near Beijing, and hungry people flooded into the capital and feasted. Ji Yun quickly expressed his feelings to the emperor and asked him to intercept Cao Nan's official grain mangoku.
The disaster area set up porridge, and the hungry people in the capital refused to drive away, and the social order was stable. Although subjectively, it is to maintain the rule of the imperial court, but objectively, it can not be said that it is good governance to help the victims through the famine.

Anecdotal allusions:
Literary inquisition: Ji Yun entered the "Siku Pass" in the most brutal period of cultural autocracy in Qianlong period, and the literary inquisition reached its peak in Qianlong period. In the history of China, "thought crime" was introduced into the scope of statutory punishment for the first time, and the Qianlong period was the beginning. The meaning of its literary inquisition far exceeds the provisions of the Qing Law.
During the opening of Sikuquanshu, there were more than 50 cases of literary inquisition, most of which were obtained from the revision of books. Together with Ji Yun, he served as editor-in-chief and general school officer, or was scared to death, or was fined all his possessions. No one died a natural death except Ji Yun.
Ji Yun himself has been implicated in the related literary inquisition several times, which is quite dangerous. He was also recorded many times and was punished for writing a wrong book. Therefore, under such political pressure, it is inevitable that intellectuals are alienated and distorted.
