The sun creeps up to the top of the clouds, penetrates the layers of fog, and sprinkles the light on the rich land of Yuzhong, giving the whole world a golden layer of gold. The Lingyan Temple hidden in the layered greenery is also awakened from sleep, bathed in the glimmer of the spring dreams and the gentle breeze, everything is beautiful. Shen Shen wrote in the "Six Life Chapters" such a passage: "About a few close friends, go to the wild stream, or the chess is appropriate, or the songs are flowing, or say good cause and effect. Or, let's talk about the rise and fall of this ancient age. Look at the flowering branches and piles of embroidered flowers, listen to the birds and get the springs, and let others reciprocate, the world is cool, leisurely, and leisurely time."
