Meaning: Those who died bravely in battle are surrounded by green mountains. Where is not a good place to bury a loyal and brave man? Why must he be transported back to his hometown for burial?
“The bones of loyalty are buried everywhere in the green mountains” was changed from “The bones of loyalty are buried in the green hills, and loyal ministers are made of innocent white iron.” This is a couplet engraved on the stone pillars of the tomb of King Yue in West Lake, Hangzhou.
"Why return a corpse wrapped in horse leather" comes from Xu Xilin's "Out of the Fortress" of the Qing Dynasty. "The military song should be sung with a ring of swords and an oath to destroy the Hunu coming out of Yuguan. It is only necessary to die for the country on the battlefield, why return a corpse wrapped in horse leather!" The allusion comes from " "Book of the Later Han: Biography of Ma Yuan".

It is the honor to bury the loyal bones in the green mountains, and the innocent ministers in the white iron. It comes from the couplet clouds on the tomb of Yue Fei behind the kneeling statue of Qin Hui.
Zhonggu: refers to Yue Fei;
Ning Chen: refers to the four traitorous ministers Qin Hui, Wang Shi, Zhang Jun, and Wan Qixi.
The meaning of this sentence is that this land is so lucky to be able to bury a loyal minister and general like Yue Fei, and the white iron chain that binds a treacherous person like Qin Hui is so innocent.
