Jiang Yan, the word Bo'an, was a famous literary scholar of the Liang Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty. His style of writing is fresh and elegant, and he is known as "Jiangzuo Rhyme".

Jiang Yan wrote a "Collection of Yuan Zhonglang", which included "The Biography of Yuan Youren". This article tells the story of Yuan Zhonglang's life and morality.

Yuan Zhonglang has been smart and studious since childhood, well-read, noble character, generous and upright. He used to serve in the officialdom when he was young, but because he was unwilling to compromise with the evil forces, he eventually resigned and returned to his hometown.

After Yuan Zhonglang retired from office, he devoted himself to the study of poetry and literature, and used it to spread the truth and enlighten people's hearts. His essays are exquisite, beautiful and moving, and are highly appreciated and loved by literati.

Jiang Yan was deeply influenced by Yuan Zhonglang and admired him very much. He wrote this article, hoping to inherit Yuan Zhonglang's character and spirit for future generations to follow.
