Representative poems

Farewell to Shi Ziyu at Huishan Temple

When you look at the mountains, you don't feel the dusk. When the moon comes out, you can see the Zen forest. the night is quiet and empty, and the body is idle and forgets to go and stay. sparse clock, separated from cloud, residual leaves reflect spring. if you want to leave here, you are naturally worried.
