Fang Wanyi, a work of Qiyi, was born on June 24, 1732, the tenth year of Yongzheng (1732), which is rumored to be the birthday of the lotus, so Fang Wanyi has the verse "I was born on the same day as the lotus", calling herself the White Lotus and the White Lotus Resident. His "Birthday Doll" cloud: "Ice mound curtain small Pavilion Ming, poolside scenery is the most caring." The mud does not stain the water, and I am born on the same day as the lotus flower. ”
She was a native of Shexian County, Anhui Province, and her ancestor Fang Wanying was a former envoy to Guangdong Province; her father, Fang Baojian, was a student of Guozi and later taught. Fang Wanyi studied poetry and painting with her father and aunt Fang Songyu since childhood, and at the age of 18, she married Luo Ping, one of the "Eight Monsters of Yangzhou", and lived near the Midas Temple in Yangzhou City, which Luo Hired named "Zhucao Shilin", which is now No. 46 Mituo Lane in Yangzhou City, which is its site. After marriage, she had two sons, Luo Yunshao and Luo Yunzan, and a daughter, Luo Fangshu. The Luo family grew up in Danqing, and Luo Yunshao, Luo Yunmiao and Luo Fangshu were all good at painting plum blossoms, and were known as the "Luo Family Plum School". Fang Wanyi is the author of "Xuelu Collection" and "White Lotus Half Grid Poem". The "Xuelu Collection" has Wanyi self-trek, and the "White Lotus Half Grid Poem" has a Luo Ping order.
Wan Yi is good at painting plums, orchids, chrysanthemums, bamboo, and stones, and Luo Ping said that she has the idea of dust, but does not do it. The earliest surviving collaborative work of Luo and Fang is probably the Plum Blossom Diagram now in the Shanghai Museum. In the twenty-eighth year of Qianlong (1763), Fang Wanyi collaborated with her husband on a "Plum Blossom Picture Scroll", in which the calyxes were full of branches, thousands of flowers, the branches were extremely horizontal and oblique, full of cold and fragrant paper, and it was eye-catching. In the trailing part of the painting, there is such an inscription: "Wild plums are like thorns full of red jin, there is no scenery that is not affected by spring, after the painting, I still regret myself, and ask who the flowers are given to." In June, imitating Wang Yuanzhang's plum blossoms. Zhao Ziguyun: "It is difficult to have thick ink and peppers." 'The painting of this volume began in three days, and the Inner White Lotus was observed four times, and it was not very clear. In the morning, the morning glory is plucked, the juice is soaked, and the mistletoe is stained. The present viewer can see at a glance. You must not fail to remember its hard work also. Jiashen April Boat met Gu Feng and asked again. Zhu Cao Shilin in the people Luo Recruitment. ”
It turned out that after this painting was painted, Fang Wanyi mashed the morning morning glory and dyed the flower juice on the plum blossom petals one by one, and when Luo Ping saw the long scroll of his "Plum Blossom Diagram" again, the shooting case was amazing, and it also became the beloved object he carried with him.
Fang Wanyi also often sang and sang with Luo's teacher Jin Nong.
On her 30th birthday, Jin Nong, Zheng Banqiao, etc. all chanted poems and painted for her to wish her a happy birthday.
In the thirty-sixth year of Qianlong (1771), Luo Ping entered Beijing for the first time and met Cheng Jinfang and Qian Zai in Beijing. In 1772, Weng Fanggang returned from Guangdong, and he and Weng Fanggang became friends, and the two often had poetry and wine meetings. For example, in Weng Fanggang's "Records of the Golden Stones of the Two Han Dynasties", it is mentioned that Luo Ping used the bamboo leaf stele to review the literature together with Qian Daxin. But these friends did not help him much in his career, so he prepared to return to Yangzhou in the autumn of this year. But it was not until the spring of the following year that he really bid farewell to Beijing, boarded a boat from Qihua Gate, and gave poetry to 65 people on the "Return to the Sail Map".
In May 1779, Luo Ping was preparing to enter Beijing again, by which time Fang Wanyi was already seriously ill. The inseparable Luo Ping wrote a poem: "Is it merciless to go out and shed tears? Jun was bedridden and I went on an expedition. Silent two hearts who will get, knowing that meeting is his birth! Luo Ping called his wife "Jun", which showed his respect. He also foresaw that if the couple met again, he might be born—but he left anyway.
He left home on May 6, and on June 11, at the Jinan Transportation Embassy, he dreamed of his wife, who was holding a scroll of plum blossoms she had drawn.
On August 3, Luo Hired went to Kyoto and met Wanhua pavilion from Yangzhou. Wan Huating told him that his wife had died of illness on May 19, less than half a month after his departure. Luo Ping lost his voice and cried bitterly. Fang Wanyi's life, 48 years old.
Fang Wanyi is good at painting and is also a poet. She studied poetry with her father since childhood, and she was clever and unforgettable. When she was 17 years old, her aunt died, and Fang Wanyi, who was extremely sad, composed "Crying Twelve Gu Poems", which was sincere and sincere, and was widely recited by literati in Yangzhou City. Yu Fan also transcribed a poem by Fang Wanyi in the "Notes on Spring in the Hall": "Jing Cover Heng Gate Peels Thin, Empty Zhai Lying Sick Si Yiyi." Seeing where Rong Luo is now, the taste is sour and salty yesterday. The ancient double sails have no shadow, and the first dream has a deep machine. The green mountains do not understand the sorrow and frost, and people fly by themselves. "In the end, watching people busy, watching birds fly, not complaining or hating, pinning a very deep sigh of survival."
Although there are not many surviving works of hers, she has not been buried in the smoke of history.
In 2012, at the autumn auction of Guardian International Auction Co., Ltd., a hand scroll of Fang Wanyi's "Zhang Yiniang's Hairpin Flower Diagram" (34.5 cm high and 134 cm wide) was sold for 2.24 million yuan.

Qianlong Gengwu (1750), Yu in Suzhou, The Sun Yi Garden of Xiugu, with a Tusuo inscription. Seeing that Yi Niang was wearing a black gauze bun, wearing a big green luo skirt, her eyebrows were beautiful, and she smiled with her left hand, which was also a pen for Yang Zihe at that time. The subjects are all famous people in the beginning of the country. Qianlong Pengshen (1788), Yuan Ming again saw the "Zhang Yiniang Hairpin Flower Diagram". This volume is a work of the mustard garden residents who asked the fans to give poems and asked Fang Wanyi to make up the picture and repaint it. After Yuan Ming saw this volume, he gladly made an inscription: "In the autumn of Qianlong Gengwu (1750), Yu was the owner of the embroidery valley to remember the niang's hairpin flower diagram, forty years. This spring, the residents of the mustard garden showed that they were in the presence of the book, and the fishermen of Wuling were re-entering the Taoyuan, and they were extremely happy. It is a pity that old age is exhausted, and it can no longer be repaid with its words. The book of the sister-in-law is counted at the end of the paper, so that the order after "Lan Ting" is what is the same? The second day of March is also the day of Yu Lan. Qiantang Seventy-Three Yuan MingShu. This volume also has the inscriptions of Wang Qiansun and Cao Zhenxiuxian and his wife, and the inscriptions of Mao Yuqing, Xie Mingsheng, Li Yaozhi, Huang Shangzhong, Zhu Delin, Wu Ji, Xu Baoshan, Wang Pu, Shen Qingrui, Wang Xiangpei, and Jiang Qiyao.
