Literature Reference: 霅水漾清浔,吴山横碧岑。含珠复蕴玉,价重双南金。的皪曜奇彩,凄清流雅音。商声发楚调,调切谱瑶琴。吴山为我高,霅水为我深。万景徒有象,孤云本无心。众木岂无声,椅桐有清响。众耳岂不聆,钟期有真赏。高洁古人操,素怀夙所仰。觌君冰雪姿,祛我淫滞想。常吟柳恽诗,苕浦久相思。逮此远为郡,苹洲芳草衰。逢师年腊长,值我病容羸。共话无生理,聊用契心期。——《郡斋卧疾赠昼上人》 作者:于頔 The Zha River ripples with clear waters, and the Wu Mountains stretch with emerald peaks. Like pearls and jade, they hold immense value. Their brilliance shines with extraordinary colors, and their pure sounds flow with elegance. The melodies of Chu rise, harmonizing with the qin. The Wu Mountains stand tall for me, and the Zha River runs deep for me. Amidst countless scenes, the solitary cloud remains detached. The trees are not silent, and the catalpa resounds with clarity. Not all ears can appreciate, but Zhong Ziqi truly understands. The noble virtues of the ancients, long admired, are embodied in your icy and pure demeanor, dispelling my impure thoughts. I often recite Liu Yun's poems, longing for the distant Tiao Pu. Now, as I serve in this distant prefecture, the fragrant grasses of the Pingzhou have withered. Meeting my teacher, though aged and frail, we discuss the essence of life, connecting our hearts.
