This is not a poem, but a couplet, created by the Qin Dynasty scholar Qin, the number one scholar in the Qianlong Dynasty of the Qing Dynasty.
There is a Qing Dynasty mansion building on Changle Road on the bank of the Qinhuai River in Nanjing. The owner of the mansion was the Qin Dynasty scholar who was the number one scholar during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty.
It is said that this famous couplet was made when I visited the Yuewang Temple in Hangzhou with others. It not only avoided embarrassment, but also cleverly answered people's difficult questions. It is worthy of being the number one scholar of the generation.
Extended information
The poems, calligraphy and paintings of Master Qin are said to be the three masterpieces. After winning the first prize, he continued to strive for excellence. He was ordered by Qianlong to rewrite the "Selected Works of Zhaoming". Bao Shichen, the famous calligraphy theorist of the Qing Dynasty, divided the calligraphers of the Qing Dynasty into five grades and nine grades in "Yizhou Shuangji", and Qin Dashi was included in the "neng grade".
In the west room of his former residence, there are still preserved inscriptions written by Qin Zhuangyuan in four styles: Zheng, Cao, Li and Zhuan. In his later years, Tuashi loved painting, and was especially good at painting bamboos. Sometimes he painted freehand flowers, which were full of life and became famous for a while.
As a native of Jinling, Master Qin left many relics in Jinling. Especially in the south area of ????the city, there are many ink inscriptions by great scholars. The plaque on the door of the Dacheng Hall Academy of Confucius Temple, "The No. 1 School in the Southeast," was inscribed by a scholar. The Qin Dynasty scholars who returned to their hometown after serving their official duties were either at home or traveling, wandering around the landscapes and gardens, and found a sense of leisure and relaxation everywhere.
Niushou Mountain, Sheshan (today’s Qixia Mountain), Longjiang Pass, and Wulongtan are all marked with his footprints; the Hanbi Tower in Longtan and Tao Xiang’s Ice and Snow Nest all bear the chants of the number one scholar recite.
