The famous Qing Dynasty dramatist Hong Sheng's famous work "The Legend of the Hall of Eternal Life" was finalized in the Qingjin Garden. Fang Bao, the founder of the Tongcheng School, and Zhu Yizun, a well-known scholar with many eruditions, not only left many popular poems in Qingjin Garden, but also expounded his academic views here, which in turn promoted cultural exchanges between the north and the south and enlivened the Tianjin literary circle.
