Reciting Wang Wei's poem brings Wang Mansheng to the same environment of the Tang Dynasty poet, allowing him to dwell phenomenologically in the archaic nature that inspires poetry. - Inscription:...

Inscription:
屏居淇水上，東野曠無山。
Living with ease by riverside,I see no hills in east plain wide.
日隱桑柘外，河明閭井間。
The sun sinks beyond mulberries;The stream flows between cots and trees.
牧童望村去，獵犬隨人還。
The shepherds to the village go;Hunters come back with hound and bow.
靜者亦何事，荊扉趁晝關。
What shall I do, looking before?Though it is noon, I’ll close my door.
