Xin Qiji's Shui Long Yin "Shou Han Nan Jian Shang Shu": green fields, wind and smoke, vegetation in Pingquan, Dongshan singing and drinking. The three sentences are dual to each other, forming a tripod pair, and using historical allusions to express deep and complex feelings. "Green Field", "Pingquan" and "Dongshan" refer to the places where Tang Xiang Peidu, Li Deyu and Xie An, the prime minister of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, lived after retiring.

these three sentences are different from each other, that is, "green fields, flat springs, wind fields, vegetation and singing wine in Dongshan". Xin Qiji praised Han Nanjian's seclusion in Xinzhou with the wind, smoke, vegetation and singing wine in the secluded place of historical names, and expressed his noble interest in mountains and rivers.
