Song Dynasty: Wang Anshi
The eaves are long and clean without moss, and flowers and trees are planted by hand.
One water protects the field and surrounds the green, and two mountains send green.
The courtyard of the thatched cottage is often cleaned, so clean that there is no moss. Flowers, trees, rows and ridges are all planted by the owner himself. A small river outside the courtyard protects the farmland and surrounds it; Two big mountains open doors to give people green.
This poem not only praises the simplicity and hard work of the host, but also expresses the poet's quiet state of mind of retiring and seclusion, and enjoys endless fun from the pastoral landscape and contact with civilians.

Creation background
Yin's Pavilion in the Heart of the Lake is a set of poems inscribed by Wang Anshi on the walls of every household. After the second strike in the ninth year of Zongshen Xining (1076), Wang Anshi lived in Banshan Garden on the outskirts of Jinling for ten years, until he died in the first year of Zhezong Yuanyou (1086).
According to Li Bi's comments on Wang Jingwen's poems, Wang Anshi's former residence is seven miles from the city and seven miles from the Purple Mountain, which is exactly half the distance from the city to the mountain. Therefore, Anshi was named the Mid-Levels Old Man in his later years, hence the name Garden. During this period, Wang Anshi had a close relationship with Yang Defeng, who lived in seclusion in Zijinshan.
