After that, the two came down to maipengzun and created a school of their own;

First of all, the sky was clear, and the sky was good, and the clouds were good,

After the long SA Ningbo method rain, but jijiacuo and wind blowing all over;

Don't pollute with the poison of jealousy. Keep away from the dust of praising yourself and belittling others,

Truthfully state the clean water of history, and offer it to all the sages.
