"Yuan An Sleeps Through the Snow" is a famed painting by Dai Jin, a prominent figure in Zhejiang school of painting during the early Ming era. Dai Jin, born in Xiaoshan, Zhejiang, has been regarded as the founder of Zhejiang school which plays a pivotal role in the history of Chinese painting.

His work "Yuan An Sleeps Through the Snow" is revered for its representation of the historic figure Yuan An, an official from Eastern Han Dynasty. Yuan An was known for his integrity and concentration, a virtue he personified while remaining focused on his studies despite the prevailing harsh snowy conditions, whereas his servants are engrossed with the snowfall.

Dai Jin claims to paint in a northern 'Academic' style, yet his work shows characteristics of Zhejiang or Southern School of painting, espousing a particular style with bold and vigorous strokes, as can be seen in "Yuan An Sleeps Through the Snow." The narrative in the artwork originates from "Lienü Zhuan," written by Liu Xiang. The scene in the painting is associated with Yuan An’s concentration on reading without being disturbed by external influences.

The painting has served as an emblem of the scholar's stoicism, focusing on intellect above comfort or pleasure, and has been widely depicted in the realm of Chinese art. As a piece of art it not only gives a closer look at the attitude of Chinese scholar-gentlemen, but also echoes the socio-cultural influences of the Ming Dynasty era. The artwork is preserved and displayed in prominent galleries.
