His father's name was Yan Chang, and due to his poor family, he succeeded Zhu Jiuzuo's family in Liu Village, Li County, as an adopted son when he was young, and changed his surname to Zhu.

Yan Chang was in the Zhu family, often discriminated against and abused, and was extremely resentful and depressed, and had the idea of fleeing the family.

When Yan Yuan was four years old, his biological father entered the customs with the Emperor Taiji, and since then the news has been cut off. Eight years later, his birth mother Wang Shi remarried, leaving him alone in the Zhu family.

Throughout his life, Yan Yuan took the practice of medicine and teaching as his profession, inherited and carried forward Confucius's educational ideas, advocating equal emphasis on "practical learning", "practice", and "practical application", and his main works were "Four Cun Compilations" and "Xi Zhai Ji Yu".

In the seventh year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1668), his adoptive grandmother Liu Shi died of illness. Because of his grandmother's deep kindness, his father ran away again and could not return to the burial, and he was extremely sad. After three days of not eating, the day and night sacrifice, nosebleeds and tears, after the burial also cried day and night, and became seriously ill. When an old man of the Zhu clan saw this scene, he felt great pity for him and said, "Hey! Er, mourn, and the dead die. Ru's grandmother has been infertile since childhood, and Ann has a father? Er, the Father, is a beggar with a different surname. Yan Yuan was greatly surprised after hearing this, and went to the birth mother who had remarried to inquire, and the truth was true, so he mourned.

Yan Yuanju raised his grandmother to bereavement, scrupulously abided by zhuzi family etiquette, and did not dare to violate the size. Even the disease was hungry and almost fatal.

Zhang Dahe commented: For a lifetime, cultivate people's external bloodlines, their life is rooted in the same ancestors, and their filial piety is like blood relatives. There is no remorse, filial piety and forgetfulness, and its reasonableness is as good as that of blood relatives and grandchildren. The gratitude of man, the filial piety of good deeds, the writing of books and the establishment of sayings, this is great.

Liang Qichao commented on Yan Yuan: "Boyo Yanyuan, born in a poor village, raised with a different surname, full of more worries, and extremely hard. "For the ideological circles of the past two thousand years, it has been a very fierce and sincere revolutionary movement. The banner of its tree is called "retro", and its spirit is purely "modern".

Zhang Dahe commented: The ancient road is simple and into the hearts of the people, and this retro spirit is still the realm of modern people's quiet and deep.
