Comment on the Works
Liu Ting Shi Hua: "Xiangshan Poem:' Why are there two egrets beside the water, and their heads hang down when they are not worried?' Yang Chengzhai said with all his meaning:' Jun Dao is worried about Yi Bai, and the egrets have grown into silk from their temples.' Song Zixu also said:' Wu Shuang's temples were early in autumn, and when he heard that he was worried, he would grow old. The egrets on the stream are as muddy as snow, so I think I should not be so worried.
