This is a poem written on the wall of a hotel in Lin 'an.
In AD 1 126, the Jin people captured Bianliang, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, and captured two emperors, Huizong and Qinzong. The territory of the Central Plains was completely occupied by the Jin people. Zhao Gou fled to the south of the Yangtze River and ascended the throne in Lin 'an, which is known as the Southern Song Dynasty. Instead of accepting the painful lesson of national subjugation in the Northern Song Dynasty, the small court in the Southern Song Dynasty became angry from embarrassment and tried to strengthen itself. The rulers did not want to recover the lost land in the Central Plains, but begged for peace, surrendered to the outside world, and brutally persecuted Yue Fei and other patriots at home. Politically corrupt and incompetent, dignitaries indulge in debauchery and pleasure. This poem is written for this dark reality. It pours out the indignation pent up in the hearts of the broad masses of people, and also expresses the poet's deep concern for the fate of the country and the nation.
In the first sentence of the poem, "There are green hills and towers outside the mountain", the poet grasped the characteristics of Lin 'an City-green hills and towers are lined up. This first describes the great mountains and rivers of the motherland, rolling mountains and pavilions. What a beautiful nature it is. As far as poetry creation is concerned, the poet's description of the beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers shows a sense of pleasure. Then he wrote, "When will the West Lake dance stop?" The poet was hurt by the reality of this country. Such beautiful mountains and rivers were occupied by Jin people. The word "Hugh" in the poem not only implies the poet's heartache about the real social situation, but more importantly, it shows the poet's indignation that he blindly "Hugh" to make peace with those in power, unwilling to recover the lost land in the Central Plains, and only seeking peace and indulgence. In the poet's mind, "West Lake Song and Dance" is nothing more than extravagant song and dance to kill the fighting spirit against gold. How much he hopes that this kind of singing and dancing can "rest" as soon as possible. Here, the poet uses rhetorical questions, which not only strengthens his anger at these politicians who are unwilling to recover lost ground, but also shows the sadness caused by the poet's concern about the fate of the country.
The last two sentences, "Warm wind makes tourists drunk and makes Hangzhou a continent", are the poet's further expression of his feelings. The word "warm wind" is a pun, which refers to both the spring breeze in nature and the decadent wind in society. It is this "warm wind" that blows people's minds like they are drunk. "Tourists" cannot be understood as ordinary tourists. It means that the ruling class in the Southern Song Dynasty forgot the national disaster, lived a quiet life and had fun. The words "smoked" and "drunk" in the poem are used very skillfully, vividly depicting the mental state of those dignitaries who indulge in debauchery and ruin the country and the people. At the end, "direct control of Bianzhou in Hangzhou" is a direct rebuke to the Southern Song Dynasty for forgetting national hatred and family feuds and treating Hangzhou as the old capital Bianzhou. Bitter satire contains great anger and endless worries.
This poem is cleverly conceived and phrased: cynicism is written from a lively scene; Extremely indignant, but not abusive. It is indeed a masterpiece in fable poetry.
Of course, there are many reasons for the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty, but the extravagance of the rulers must be one of them. There are many reasons for the partial peace in the Southern Song Dynasty, but one of them will be the man who had a good time in the ruling and opposition parties and lived a life of drunkenness and dreaminess. Lin Sheng's poem, seen in Travels of the West Lake, describes an open and universal social phenomenon at that time, and no one will be surprised. When I wrote it to him, it was shocking and hard to feel, so it was a satire of success.

According to local documents such as Pingyang County Records and records of the west lake of the Republic of China, Lin Sheng lived between Shaoxing and Xichun in the Southern Song Dynasty and was good at poetry. According to the genealogy of the Lin family in Pingyang and Cangnan counties, according to the genealogy of the Lin family in Pingyang Bazhang (now Baizhang Village, Lingxi Town, Cangnan County), this genealogy was compiled in191year, during the Qing Qianlong period (179 1), and the word traveled in clouds, Meng. Confucian scholars around Shaoxing in the Song Dynasty did not indicate whether they achieved fame or not. And his son Lin Xiong, recorded as "Song Shaoxing twenty-seven years (1 157), Wu Jinshi, granted a doctor. When he married Cang Qian, he gave birth to a son Fonda, married You Zhangqi and buried Xiao Ting (now Lingxi Puting) "; Lin is Lin Fangda, whose word is. Jinshi in the year of Song San (1262).

Yunba and Jiujiu are Lin Song's direct grandchildren. They moved from Changxi (now Xiapu) in Fujian to Sun Hu, a kindred town in Hengyang (now Fanshi Lin 'ao in Cangnan). Lin Song is the ancestor of the Lin family in Hengyang (including the Lin family in Pingyang, Cangnan and Taishun today).

At present, there are about100000 people in Pingyang, Cangnan and Taishun counties.
At this point, it can be concluded that Lin Sheng, the author of Lin 'an Mansion, is the seventh grandson of Hu Lin, whose ancestral home is Sunhuli (now Cangnan) in Pingyang County. The fourth ancestor, Lin Shiming, moved to Jiang Yan as the ancestor of Lin Xia. Lin Xia, now called "Lin Xia", is located in Lingxi Town, Cangnan County.
