The grandeur will wither in an instant, and the bustle is another name for short life. After much deliberation, there is nothing more representative of an indifferent and stable life than the small town in Jiangnan. A large number of Chinese literati fled to Buddhism and Taoism after being frustrated in joining the world, but not many actually devoted themselves to temples and Taoism. After all, living in a barren mountain and fishing alone in a cold river would bring about a series of troubles in basic life. "Hidden in the city", the best way to hide is to hide in a small town in the south of the Yangtze River. What confronts the prominent is normality, and what confronts the officialdom is common people. What is more hidden than the lush grass and trees in the mountains and forests is the normal life of ordinary people who disappear into a small town. The seclusion in the mountains and forests still retains and flaunts a kind of aloofness, and the aloof concealment is insincere after all; the seclusion in the small towns and markets not only does not have to deliberately torture and destroy life, but can make life very comfortable and iron out life. Posted in a quiet and convenient corner, it can almost dissolve itself from the outside to the inside, so it becomes the highest form of concealment. To say hidden may be too narrow, but in my mind, the small bridges, flowing water, people, and the thoughts of the water shield and perch are all ecological images of a religious philosophy of life.
