Yuan Ji was a famous scholar during the Wei and Jin Dynasty, who was knowledgeable and acted very unrestrictedly. He could stay at home for months for reading; also, he could travel for months with his friends while enjoying beautiful landscapes. He played so hard when he was happy that he could forget his own appearance.  

[Definition] Originally means someone is so happy that he forgets everything. Now it is used to criticize the shallows that are too happy to control themselves when they succeed.
