Ji Jiang lai shui Peng Ming Xin

Buy all the green hills as painting screens.

Readers who often browse my blog will remember that last September, I introduced this couplet in Fusheng Teahouse on the top of Junshan Mountain in Nantong, Jiangsu Province.

At that time, I wrote:

Zheng Banqiao can write poems, draw pictures, understand the taste of tea and taste it. He wrote many tea couplets in his life. When I was studying at Biefeng Temple in Jiao Shan, Zhenjiang, I wrote a tea party: Bring the river water to make new tea, and buy all the green hills as a painting screen.

The name of the teahouse at the top of the mountain greatly increased my interest.

The word "floating life" comes from the ancient school of Laozi and Zhuangzi. Laozi and Zhuangzi believe that life is alive, drifting and fluctuating, so it is called "floating life".

Teahouse is the base of my travel. With a quiet coffee table, I can do endless work! —— Drink tea, read newspapers, listen to music, sit and watch the close-up and distant view, take a walk in the forest path, or play a game or two of Tai Chi.

Soon, I was attracted by the couplets outside the door.

Wonderful! There is this couplet outside the "Natural Temple" in Jiaoshanyao, Zhenjiang. That's Zheng Banqiao's work. Zheng Banqiao lived in seclusion in a small courtyard halfway up the mountain in Jiao Shan. Jiao Shan is known as the "floating jade" on the Yangtze River. The Fusheng Teahouse in Junshan just "borrowed" this couplet to the door for use.

You see, the teahouse and outdoor teahouse of Fusheng Teahouse are facing the mighty Yangtze River, Wolf Mountain and Jianshan Mountain.

The so-called "painting by the river" and "buying the castle peak" are romantic feelings and sloppy pens. This fully embodies Zheng Banqiao's natural and unrestrained manner and elegant talent.

Shui Bo Garden Pujiang Academy, looking out of the window at Huangpu River, is just right to quote this couplet.
