Why is there a saying in a Buddhist retreat behind Duanshan Temple that "my road twists and turns, through a sheltered valley, through branches and flowers, and comes to a Buddhist retreat"?
This poem describes his feelings of visiting an ancient temple in the morning, depicts a unique and quiet scenery with concise brushstrokes, and expresses the poet's joy in visiting places of interest and his strong pursuit of lofty realm. It is a unique and famous poem in the landscape poetry of Tang Dynasty.

Boshan Temple is located at the foot of Yushan Mountain in the northern suburb of Changshu City, Jiangsu Province. Now it's called Happiness Temple. Guangfu Temple was rebuilt by Ni Deguang, the magistrate of Chenzhou in Southern Qi Dynasty. During the Nanliang period, Datong City dug a stone and built a temple on this basis. After the topsoil was removed, it was found that the stone pattern looked like a "star" on the left and a "blessing" on the right. So "Xingfu Stone" was preserved and renamed as "Xiaofu Temple".

According to ancient records, during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, a white dragon appeared in Yushan, often turning into an old man with a white beard, and went to Jiafu Temple to listen to the monk's lecture. The monk asked him where he came from, and the old man replied, "I'm not a man, I'm a dragon." The monk asked, may I see you? Yes, but don't be afraid. So the old man showed his original appearance. He is really a white dragon monk. He was very scared and quickly recited the spell. He told Jed to deify himself into a black dragon to attack the white dragon, and fled up the mountain without fighting. The mountain in front of the temple was smashed, and this mountain was named "Broken Mountain".

Since the poet wrote the temple of Tianpo Mountain, this temple has a better reputation. There were many famous scholars in the past fifteen years of Kaiyuan. Chang Jian and Wang Changling are also on the list, but his career is poor. In the last year of Tianbao, he was just a county magistrate. After the Anshi Rebellion, he lost his official position, fell in love with mountains and rivers, and lived aimlessly in vicissitudes. Kofukuji was restored and abolished many times, especially during the Cultural Revolution. After 1983 was listed as a national key temple, Guangfu Temple was completely restored and became the largest and most famous temple and tourist attraction in Changshu. There are many tourists in Kofukuji now.

Although the poet's situation is not smooth, he wrote a poetic world here. If you have a good attitude, you can live out the artistic conception of poetry even in ordinary days.
