The journey is outside the green mountains, and the boat is in front of the green water. ——Tang Wangwan's "At the foot of Cibeigu Mountain"
Withered vines and old trees, dim crows, small bridges and flowing water. The ancient road has a westerly wind and a thin horse. The sun sets in the west, and the heartbroken people are at the end of the world.
