At first glance, it is two or three miles away, and mist hangs over four or five families.
The pavilions are six or seven, and the flowers bloom in eighty or ninety.

At first glance, it is two or three miles, and a faint fog hangs over four or five families.

The poet arranged a quantifier in each sentence of this poem, that is, "Li", "Jia", "Zuo" and "Zhi", which are novel and changeable. Each sentence also arranged two or three numbers: the word "one" began, "23", "45" and "67" were embedded in the sentence, and "890" returned to the beginning of the sentence.
Coupled with the natural arrangement of poems and paintings, it takes only a few strokes to form a natural, simple and hazy mountain village landscape painting, which naturally blends into the artistic conception of the mountain village.
The poet said:
Shao Yong (10 1 1 year-1077), a famous philosopher, mathematician, Taoist and poet in Northern Song Dynasty, was born in Fan Yang (now Shaokang Village, Linzhou City, Henan Province).
Not so ambitious, like to study hard, like to travel around the world, and realize that "Tao is enough." Later, I learned from Hetu, Luoshu, Sakura Town and Fuxi Eight Diagrams, and achieved some success, including Huang Shi, Observing Things Inside and Outside, Congenital Map, Yuqiao Asking for the Right, Yi Chuan Ji Tu Ji, Plum Blossom Poetry and so on.
