An abandoned city wall is above an old ferry, and the autumn sunset drowns the peaks. In a distant place, next to Songshan Mountain, I will close my door and get peace. -Wang Wei (Tang) of "Binding the Songshan Mountain"
Interpretation: The desolate city is close to the ancient ferry, and the afterglow of the sunset is full of golden autumn mountains. At the foot of the distant and lofty Songshan Mountain, I closed the door and refused to spend my old age in the secular world. Songshan: one of the five mountains, named Zhongyue, is located in the northwest of Dengfeng City, Henan Province.
2. Praise Laojun Mountain in Henan:
Smoke crosses Wan Li to see the sea, and snow holds a thousand peaks. -"Ode to Laojunshan" Li Gungun (Ming)
Commentary: Smoke waves condense on the sea and cross Wan Li, and the snow on the top of the mountain seems to go straight into the sky.
3. Praise Yaoshan, Henan:
The sun rises, the snow melts, the mountains look more silent and empty, the silly bear is slowly climbing the tree, and the deer is leisurely sipping the stream. Where is he? There are chickens outside the cloud. -"A Journey to Lushan Mountain" Mei (Song)
Interpretation: The sun rises, the frost and snow melt, and the mountains become more and more silent and empty. The stupid bear is slowly climbing the tree, and the deer is leisurely drinking the gurgling water of the stream. I can't see the house, I can't see the smoke, and I can't help but wonder if there are people living in the mountains. Just then, I heard a cock crow in the misty mountains in the distance.
