The Creative Background of Bodhisattva Man's Living Alone by the Water

Regarding the creation time of Bodhisattva Man, Song and Huang Tingjian said in the Preface to Bodhisattva Man (Half Smoke and Half Rain Creek Bridge): "Wang built a new thatched cottage halfway up the mountain and led it to a small port. It is a set of sentences." According to the fact that Huang Tingjian and Wang Anshi were at the same time and later, the records are well-founded and credible. It can be seen that this word was written by the poet when he lived in seclusion in Zhongshan Garden in Jiangning (now Nanjing) after the strike in his later years.
