Baiyun 1

Tao Hongjing in the Southern Dynasties hid in Ququ Mountain. Xiao Daocheng, the emperor of Gao Qi, asked him, "What are all the things in the mountains?" He wrote a poem and replied, "What's in the mountains? There are many white clouds on the ridge. I can only ask for more happiness, and I am reluctant to give it to you. " Since then, Baiyun has forged an indissoluble bond with hermits. White clouds are free and easy, lofty and free from vulgarity, white and flawless, which is the best symbol of hermit's lofty demeanor and character.

2. surging waves

Canglang, the name of water. Jiang Ji's Notes on Chu Ci in Mountain Pavilion says: "There are Cangshan Mountain, Langshan Mountain and Canglang Water in Wuling Longyang." "Songs of Chu Fisherman": "The water in the surging waves is clear, which can wash my tassel; The water in the rough waves is turbid and can lick my feet. " This is the song of surging waves sung by fishermen. This song "Song of Canglang" is also found in Mencius, which shows that it is a song widely circulated between Jiangxi and Hunan.

The river is turbid when it rises in early summer and clear when it falls in late autumn. A tassel, a hat strap. Soak in clear water and soak in muddy water, which means to adapt to the environment, that is, the original poem of Fisherman said, "The world is turbid, why not go with the flow and make waves?" Everyone is drunk, why not give it a drink?

3. Cangzhou?

Cangzhou is an oasis by the water, which was often used to refer to the place where hermits lived in ancient times.

Du Fu's Qujiang Dujiu: "The official feeling is farther away from Cangzhou, and the boss was injured and did not brush his clothes." "Cangzhou" in this sentence also refers to a secluded place. "Brush clothes" means to brush clothes in court, which means to resign. Because there is a micro-official, he can't escape from seclusion. So, although the boss was sad, there was nothing he could do but brush his clothes and leave. It shows a dilemma of wanting to enter and not wanting to stop, which is exactly Du Fu's ambivalence that he is not satisfied with his official life and refuses to give up his political ideal.
