(Preface to the Swallow Garden to perform Yinxian City Mountain) He shows a strong contempt for those powerful people who enjoy high positions and high salaries by virtue of their family background, showing an unyielding character. He despised the feudal hierarchy, was unwilling to flatter, and disdained to rise and fall with customs. The darkness of reality disillusioned his ideal, and he was suffocated by the shackles of feudal ethical hierarchy. He longed for the freedom and liberation of his personality, so he adopted a wild and uninhibited attitude towards life to get rid of the shackles and strive for freedom.
