Xin Qiji was an official in the Southern Song Dynasty, but his bold and open-minded remarks and decisive and capable style, especially his political proposition of resuming the war of resistance, were envied by his colleagues and hit by the highest ruling class. Xichun lived in Song Xiaozong for eight years (1 18 1), was impeached and dismissed from office, and returned to his hometown in Daihu, where he lived in seclusion. Xin Qiji has always attached importance to agricultural production and sympathized with the sufferings of the people. This was during Xin Qiji's stay in Shangrao Lake.

Xijiang Moon Night Tour Huangsha Road Middle Section
The moon on the horizon rose to the top of the tree, scaring away the magpies perched on the branches. The cool evening breeze seems to have spread to cicadas in the distance.
In the fragrance of rice and flowers, people talk about the harvest of a year, and frogs croak in their ears, as if in a bumper harvest year. In the old days, Maodian was near the forest, and the road turned to the stream bridge.
3. Translation
The bright moon on the horizon rose to the treetops, scaring the magpies perched on the branches. The cool evening breeze seems to bring cicadas in the distance. In the fragrance of rice flowers, people are talking about the harvest year, and there are waves of frogs in their ears, as if talking about the harvest year. There are faint clouds in the sky, twinkling stars are shining, and there is light rain in front of the mountain. Once upon a time, the familiar Maodian hut was still located in the Woods near the Earth Temple. When the mountain road turned, the once unforgettable creek bridge appeared in front of his eyes.
