However, the twelve peaks are invisible

It means: However, not all the twelve peaks in Wushan can be seen.

from: Lu You [Southern Song Dynasty] "Entering Shu".

Original sentence: On the 23rd, I passed Wushan to condense the true view and make wonderful use of the shrine of real people. The real person is the so-called Wushan Goddess. The temple is facing Wushan, and the peaks rise into the Xiao Han, and the foot of the mountain goes straight into the river. It is not surprising that the discussants call Taihua, Henglu and Lujia. However, you can't see the twelve peaks, and you can see eight Jiu Feng, but goddess peak is the most beautiful and strange, which should be entrusted by the fairy.

Interpretation: On the 23rd, when I passed the Ningzhen Temple in Wushan, I visited the Temple of Wonderful Reality. The magical use of real people is what everyone calls the Wushan Goddess. The temple is facing Wushan, and the peaks are towering into the sky, and the foot of the mountain is directly inserted into the river.

People say that Mount Tai, Huashan, Hengshan and Lushan are not as wonderful as here. But not all the twelve peaks in Wushan can be seen. Of the eight or nine peaks that can be seen, only goddess peak is the most slender and steep, which is suitable as the embodiment of the goddess.

Lu You (1125-121), a writer, historian and patriotic poet in the Southern Song Dynasty, was born in Shanyin, Yuezhou (now Shaoxing, Zhejiang).

When the Northern Song Dynasty perished, Lu Yousheng was deeply influenced by his family's patriotic thoughts as a teenager. When I was in Song Gaozong, I took part in the does examination, but my career was not smooth because I was rejected by Qin Gui. After Song Xiaozong acceded to the throne, he was born as a scholar. He served as the main book of Ningde County, Fuzhou, the official deleted by the decree, and the judge of Longxing House. Because of his insistence on resisting gold, he was repeatedly rejected by the Lord and the faction. In the seventh year of Trunk Road (1171), at the invitation of Wang Yan, the ambassador of Sichuan Xuanfu, he joined the army and worked in the Nanzheng shogunate.

The following year, the shogunate was dissolved, and Lu You was sent to Shu by a letter to get to know Fan Chengda. After Song Guangzong succeeded to the throne, he was promoted to be a doctor of the Ministry of Rites and a reviewer of the Record Institute. Soon after, he was dismissed from office and returned to his hometown because of "mocking the romantic". In the second year of Jiatai (122), Song Ningzong summoned Lu You to Beijing, presided over the compilation and editing of Xiao Zong and Guang Zong's Records of the Two Dynasties and History of the Three Dynasties, and the official position was to be made. After the book was written, Lu You lived in seclusion in Shanyin for a long time, and died in Jiading two years (121), leaving his last book "Show Your Son".
