A Buddhist retreat is often built behind the Broken Mountain Temple (Tang).
On a pure morning, near the ancient temple, the early sunshine points to the treetops.
My road twists and turns, through a valley covered by branches and flowers, to a Buddhist retreat.
Here, birds live in the mountain light, and people's hearts feel quiet in the pond.
And thousands of sounds are quiet, but Yu Zhongqing (Qing) sounds.
The couplet "My road twists and turns through a sheltered valley, branches and flowers to a Buddhist retreat" points out the word "Houchan Temple" in the title and describes the secluded and charming road leading to Houchan Temple and the scenery of Houchan Temple. The monk's room is deeply hidden among flowers and trees, with a strong aroma. Song Ouyang Xiu once praised with emotion: "I often like to recite such a poem:" My road is tortuous, through a sheltered valley, branches and flowers, to a Buddhist retreat. " Therefore, I have long imitated its language as a couplet. It is not only reflected in the accurate and vivid description of the scenery, but also in the profound ideological connotation. Buddhism advocates the purity of eyes, ears, nose and tongue, asceticism, and lush flowers and trees in Buddhist temples, which shows the monks' warm yearning and persistent pursuit of beauty. The aesthetic idea of "winding path leads to seclusion" is widely used in China classical gardens.
