First, picking chrysanthemums under the east fence, leisurely see Nanshan.
This poem is from Drinking Five by Tao Yuanming in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. This sentence has been evaluated as "quiet" and "indifferent" and has been highly praised. The purpose of the poem is to return to nature. Picking chrysanthemums in the East Garden, leisurely looking at the mountains in the south. Leisure shows the author's leisure, freedom and carelessness, and everything is carried out under extremely natural circumstances.
Second, people are idle, and the night is quiet and empty.
The poem comes from Bird Watching Creek written by Wang Wei in the Tang Dynasty. "Leisure" means that there is no human disturbance around, indicating the poet's inner leisure. This sentence uses sound to draw a picture, skillfully adopts synaesthesia, and combines the dynamic scene of "flowers falling" with the "leisure" flowers falling, both of which belong to the sound of nature. Only when the heart is really free and the obsession with worldly distractions is put down can the personal spirit be promoted to the realm of "emptiness".
Third, the boat passed, and Jiang Hai spent the rest of his life.
The poem comes from an ancient poem by Su Shi, a poet in the Song Dynasty, entitled "Linjiang Fairy wakes up after drinking Dongpo at night". I really want to disappear by boat, but I will spend the rest of my life in foggy rivers and lakes. The so-called "the ship dies from now on, and the rivers and seas send the rest of their lives" is actually just a metaphor for the poet's hope for spiritual liberation.
Fourth, my road twists and turns, through a valley covered by branches and flowers, leading to a Buddhist retreat.

Five, sleep in the daytime and think mercilessly, and watch your children catch willow flowers.
The poem is from Two Sleeps in Early Summer by Yang Wanli, a poet in the Southern Song Dynasty. When spring goes and summer comes, people are tired, get up after a nap, feel bored, and have nothing to do but watch children play and catch catkins flying in the air. In this poem, the banana is green and the willow flowers are dancing, and the poet's feelings are as fresh and leisurely as the scenery, full of childlike interest.
Six, borrow Dongting moonlight, will buy wine Bai Yunbian boat.

Seven, drunk only sit in front of the flower, wake up and sleep under the flower.
These two poems are from Tang Yin's Song of the Peach Blossom Temple, which was written by Tang Yin when he lived in seclusion in Taohuawu. In the poem, he made a self-portrait of his later life, describing the indifference of the world and his lofty character of despising people driven by the trend.
Eight, the small building listens to the spring rain all night, and the deep alley sells apricot flowers.
The poem comes from Lu You, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, and his poem "The First Night of Spring Rain in Lin 'an" is more subtle and profound. Although he used relatively bright words, his intention was to express his depression and melancholy. It was against the background of bright spring that he formed a sharp contrast with his lonely feeling.
