Vernacular Translation:
A Brief Analysis When the path to Linxi seemed to be coming to an end, I happened to cross Beixia Pass at the junction of Tongcheng and Shucheng. The setting sun sets in the west, and behind a few rows of red-leaf trees is the rolling Yongmyeon Mountain.
I entrust the family letters to the yellow-eared spirit dog, and the homesickness is brought back to my hometown by the white pheasant bird. In front of me is the Longmian landscape described by the Longmian layman Li Gonglin. Can I imitate the predecessors and retire here to live in seclusion and live in my hometown forever?
