Idioms and allusions

Chang Jian, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, was not successful in his official career until he was 40 years old. In his life, he visited many scenic spots and wrote many idyllic poems. His representative work is "the temple after breaking the mountain" and "entering the ancient temple in the early morning, sunshine in the early morning, high forest". The winding path leads to the secluded place (and the bamboo path leads to the secluded place), and the Zen house has deep flowers and trees. The mountain light is pleasant to birds, and the pool shadow is empty of people. All sounds are silent here, but I hear the chime of the bell "All sounds are silent" comes from this poem.
