Scholars are passionate, and when they are passionate, they are bound to be lonely. When they are frustrated, they want to stay away from the noise and irritability of the world, sort out their confused thoughts and soothe their injured hearts. In this environment, people, under the guidance of the sage Leshan, threw themselves into the arms of mountains and rivers.

Landscape is to China literati what water is to fish and grass is to horses. Taisha, a scholar, places her spirit on mountains and rivers, lives by mountains and rivers, and regards mountains and rivers as the turn of the year.

Castle peak, pine, cypress, cave, cliff and cloud; He Ming deer should answer, the flute is long, the piano is rustling, the waves are loose, and the water is gurgling.

The landscape is also dynamic and quiet, and the literati will gain something from it. As a result, the picture scroll of fragrant civilization is slowly unfolding on the vast land of Chinese culture, leaving us with infinite yearning and thinking!
