Building a house is human, and there are no horses and chariots. What can you do? The heart is far from being self-centered. Picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, you can see Nanshan leisurely. The mountains are getting better and better, and the birds are back. That makes sense. I forgot what I wanted to say.

Building a house in a place where people come and go will not be disturbed by secular communication. Ask me why. As long as I aim high, I will naturally feel that my place is secluded. Picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, leisurely, Nanshan in the distance comes into view. In the evening, the scenery of Nanshan is very good, the fog lingers between the peaks and the birds return together. It contains the true meaning of life. I want to identify it, but I don't know how to express it
Building a House by Drinking, in the people's realm, describes autumn scenery in plain language, narrates the joy of seclusion and teaches the philosophy of life, which is both interesting and interesting, and achieves the unity of emotion, scenery and reason. Especially "What can you do?" ? The words "the heart is far from self-biased", "there is truth in it, and I have forgotten what I want to say" and "it is quiet and simple, with a natural charm" are more artistic charm.
