The full poem of How Many Mountain Flowers Shine in the Setting Sun is as follows:
Original text: Chen Yan (Song Dynasty): How many mountain flowers shine in the setting sun, but if they are not planted, they will not be fragrant. A slight breeze rises at the top of the forest, blowing the fragrance of human lilies.
Chen Yan (?—1299) was a native of Qingyang, Chizhou, Song Dynasty. His courtesy name was Qingyin and his nickname was Jiuhuashan. In the late Song Dynasty, there were many cases where Jinshi failed to win. After entering the Yuan Dynasty, he lived in seclusion and was not an official. A collection of Du Fu's poems is called "Fengxui Collection". I visited all the scenic spots in Jiuhua Mountain and wrote about them. There is "Jiuhua Poetry Collection". His representative works include "Xiaxuetan Xuelang Pavilion", "Zengshi Jingquan Pavilion", "Shangxiahuachi", "Liu Sangla", "Paipai Spring", "Shipai Peak", "Red Stone Embroidered Stone Wall", "Yingluo Spring" and many others.
Kublai Khan, the founder of the Yuan Dynasty, asked for seclusion, but Yan refused to serve the foreign rule, so he sweated all over the world to avoid it. In his later years, he retired to Jiuhua and called himself "Jiuhua Mountain Man". He built Jiuhua Academy under the twin peaks and traveled among the mountains and rivers to entertain himself by reading and chanting.
Writings
The "Jiuhua Poetry Collection" compiled 210 poems, which was included in the "Sikuquanshu General Catalog" written by Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty. He also tried to collect Du Shaoling's poems and compiled them into "Fengtai Marrow Collection". His poems are fresh and elegant, and they use the scenery to express their meanings. They are often insightful and original. His close friend Yang Shaoyu, a native of Yi, wrote a poem praising: "Unification leads to prosperity, and this person only loves leisure. He has no intention of entering Yan City, and he has dreams and business stubbornness. His footprints are half the world, and his poems are famous all over the world. The grave is about three feet tall, and it is nine feet high. Huashan."
Information expansion
The general catalog of Sikuquanshu is referred to as "Sikuquanshu" or "Sikusujiabiao", with 200 volumes. It is a chronicle of the Qing Dynasty in China. A large-scale problem-solving bibliography compiled by Yun et al. is a master of Chinese classical bibliographic methods.
It is also the largest traditional catalog book in existence. The librarians of the Sikuquanshu have written summaries of all the more than 3,400 kinds of books that have been transcribed and recorded in the library and the 6,793 kinds of books that have been copied and archived (called "catalogue books"). This is the "Sikuquanshu General Catalog Summary".
It is divided into four major categories: Jing, Shi, Zi, and Ji. The major categories are divided into subcategories, and the subcategories are divided into subcategories. There is a small preface before each major category and sub-category, and a note after the sub-category, briefly explaining the origin of this type of work and the reasons for classifying the category and purpose.
The general catalog of Sikuquanshu describes more than 10,000 cultural classics in philosophy, history, literature, science and technology before the Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty. It is the catalog with the largest collection of books in my country, and it also contains summaries of contents. and commentaries, providing a detailed bibliography for scholars to study the political, economic, and cultural history of Chinese feudal society.
However, it is an official bibliography designated and supervised by Qianlong. It reflects the views and interests of the feudal ruling class in terms of book selection, content description, abstracts, and comments.
