Therefore, they often describe mountains and rivers in their letters to show their interest, so as to greet and comfort their friends.

The morning mist will rest, and apes and birds will sing; Night is coming and the scales are sinking. This is really a fairyland on earth. Lingyun in Kasper? in the Southern Dynasties, so far no one can appreciate its wonders.

The beauty of mountains and rivers has been appreciated and respected by literati since ancient times. Towering peaks soar into the clouds, and clear streams are crystal clear. The stone walls on both sides of the strait are colorful and complement each other. Lush trees and green bamboo exist all year round.
When the morning mist was about to dissipate, there were songs of apes and birds. When the sun is about to set, the fish swimming in the water are scrambling to jump out of the water.
