Yuan Mei (袁枚), a poet and theorist of poetry during the Qianjia period of the Qing Dynasty, was once an official, but later resigned from his post to live in the Sui-Yuan Garden in Xiaocangshan, Nanjing. His poems cover a wide range of subjects, and his use of metaphors is very distinctive. Because he advocated the poetic ideas of "spirituality" and "temperament", his unique ideas promoted the development of poetry in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, and had far-reaching influence on the poetry world at that time. This paper takes Yuan Mei as the object of study, and discusses his poem Moss from the aesthetic ideas of nature, idyll, and the beauty of nature and spirit.
