Take Long Mendui as an example:

The first part: Haitian, Chicheng Gorge, Emei Snow, Wuxia Cloud, Dongting Moon, Smoke, Xiaoxiang Rain, Guanglingtao and Lushan Waterfall, all of which are integrated with the wonders of the universe and draw the walls of my den.

The second part: Shaoling poems, desert sand paintings, Zuo Zhuan's essays, history, Xue Tao's notes, You Juntie, Nanhuajing, Xiang Rufu, Qu Sao, integrating ancient and modern techniques, set up my mountain window.

This pair of couplets has been recorded in the prose "Small Window" in the Ming Dynasty. It is said that the couplets written by Li Dongyang, a writer in the Ming Dynasty, only changed "Guangling Tide" into "Guangling Tao" and "Qinglian Poetry" into "Shaoling Poetry".

This couplet is exquisitely written: there are nine historical wonders of China in it, and the author ends with "Combine the wonders of the universe and paint the wall of my study", saying that these wonders should be collected, painted into beautiful pictures and hung on the wall of the study for the author to enjoy. The second part contains nine famous people and their stunts, and the conclusion is "collecting ancient and modern stunts, setting my window on the mountain", saying that these works should be collected in the mountain bookstore for the author to study and discuss.

Rich in content, magnificent, unique in imagination and magnificent. The scenery written in the first part of the couplet is a wonder of the world, which is vivid in my mind; The next part of the paper, ancient and modern books, is hidden in my chest. If everything on my wall is beautifully painted, it can be seen that "wind and water" can travel in the sky; If paper and ink paintings are placed under my windowsill, we can be friends with the ancients, which is a pity.
