"Summer" and "in the mountains" are the keys to understanding this poem. Because it is summer, there is a "white feather fan"; Because it is in the mountains, I am too lazy to shake it with a fan.

There are only four sentences in the poem, which describes a small scene, but shows the summer in the mountains and the summer in the mountains to the readers in a true and appropriate way. The summer breeze blew, the pine leaves rustled in the mountains, and the poet took off his turban and hung it on the stone wall in the mountains. How cool and pleasant the weather is. The whole poem writes the author's broad-minded and natural image, with Wei and Jin demeanor.
