Lantian Mountain, located in Lantian County, Shaanxi Province, is a famous jade producing area. Legend has it that this mountain is full of jade in the sunshine, and Ran Ran rises, but the essence of beautiful jade is presented from a distance, but not from a close view. This poem does not reflect the exchange of material civilization between China and the Western Regions.
"Mermaids shed pearl-like tears in the moonlight green sea, and the blue fields breathe their jadeite to the sun." From Li Shangyin's Jinse in the Tang Dynasty: "I want to know why my Jinse has fifty strings, each with a youthful interval. Zhuangzi daydreaming, a saint, was bewitched by butterflies, and cuckoo crowed in the imperial spring. Mermaids shed pearl-like tears on the moon-green sea, and the blue fields breathed their jade to the sun. A moment that should last forever? It had come and gone before I knew it. "

Why does Fifty String remind me of my youth? In fact, Zhuang Zhou knows that he is just a butterfly yearning for freedom. Wang Di believes that a beautiful mind can be moved as much as a cuckoo.
The shadow of the moon in the sea is like a tearful pearl. Only at that time, that place, Lantian will produce jade as beautiful as smoke. Those beautiful things and times can only be left in memories. But at that time, those people looked at those things as ordinary, but they didn't know how to cherish them.
