The moss traces on the steps are green, and the grass color enters the curtain. There are honored scholars to talk and laugh, and there are no white men to come and go. You can tune your zither and read the Golden Scriptures. No silk and bamboo messes with the ears, no paperwork is laborious. Zhuge's Lodge in Nanyang, Ziyunting Pavilion in Xishu. Confucius cloud: what ugly there?

Mountains do not lie in the high, with the gods and goddesses are famous. Water does not lie in the depth, with the dragon appears to have the spirit. This is a simple house, but I (the person who lives in the house) have a good character (so I don't feel the simplicity). The color of the moss traces that grow to the steps is turquoise; the grass is green and is reflected in the curtain. Those who come here to talk and laugh are great scholars with great knowledge, and there are no people with shallow knowledge to interact with, so that they can play the unadorned guqin and read the Buddhist scriptures. There is no sound of music to disturb the ears, no official documents to make the body tired. There is Zhuge Liang's hut in Nanyang, and Yang Ziyun's pavilion in Xishu. Confucius said, What is there that is humble?
