Origin:
Poems about immortals originated from songs before the Han Dynasty. As early as Zhuangzi, the immortal was described as "skin like ice and snow, heart like a virgin" and "chitose is world-weary". Go to the fairy: ride on the white clouds, as for the hometown of the emperor. " This chapter. Through the description of "wandering" to express the carefree world and express inner worries, the poetry of wandering immortals has begun to take shape. In the Qin Dynasty, the first emperor was a good immortal, who once "made doctors travel around the world for the poems of immortals and real people, and asked musicians to sing and string for them".
