One and a half words can explain the mysteries. This is from "Xuanguan Sutra" by Bai Yuchan, the Southern Sect of Dan Dao. The detailed introduction is as follows:
1. Introduction to the poem:
One and a half words can explain it. Xuan, why use thousands of alchemy books? If a person is not burdened by form, he will see the Great Luotian before his eyes. From Bai Yuchan's "Xuan Guan Su Tan Lun", in Bai Yuchan's tea ceremony, tea is the incarnation of Tao, tea is the path to immortality, which is the unity of heaven and man.
During Bai Yuchan’s tea ceremony, it seems that as the fragrance of tea fills the air, the mind is wandering, as if blending into the world. As he said in "Helin Dao Pian", heaven and earth have the same root as me, and all things are of the same body as me.

Bai Yuchan lost his father at the age of 6, but he was able to compose poems at the age of 7. He failed in the imperial examination at the age of 12, and gradually became disgusted with the imperial examination career. At the age of 23, he crossed the sea alone to seek teachers in various parts of the mainland, traveling to half of China. Later, he stayed at Zhizhi Nunnery in Wuyi Mountain and studied under Chen Nan, the fourth generation ancestor of the Southern Taoist Sect.

The most famous extant calligraphy works of Bai Yuchan are in Shanghai. The regular script paper "Six Odes of Xianlu Peak" in the museum's collection and the cursive "Poetry of Clear Sky and Clear Sky" in the Taipei National Palace Museum's collection. Judging from his regular script writing, the bones of the sky are open, the characters are powerful, the structure is strange, and the writing force is strong, integrating the bones of the willows with the nobility, leisurely, stretch and elegance of "The Crane Inscription".
The cursive script "Poetry of Clear Sky and Clear Sky" is filled with floating fairy spirit and rippling with pure spirit. It looks like the clear smoke from the sutra hall is slowly surrounding it, and there is also the shape of an empty valley with floating clouds emerging from the sky.

He was an outstanding calligrapher in the Southern Song Dynasty and the first poet, calligrapher and painter recorded in Wu Qiong.
