Do you know a poem that can be read both sides?

Xu Xiake (1587- 164 1) was an outstanding traveler, geographer and writer in the late Ming Dynasty.

He loved mountains and rivers since childhood, liked reading historical books and hated stereotyped writing. From books on history and geography, he learned about the magnificence of the mountains and rivers of the motherland and yearned for the beauty of nature. "I have only one dream of Yunshan in my life", and I am determined to climb the five mountains in Kyushu.

With the support of his mother and wife, Xu has traveled all over Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, Shandong, Hebei, Beijing, Hubei, Henan, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Guangdong, Jiangxi, Hunan, Guangxi, Guizhou and Yunnan for more than 30 years. But his moral quality is very good, and he didn't leave a word in any scenic spot or cave. However, when he visited Guangdong in the first year of Chongzhen (1628), he left a wonderful palindrome on the wall of Guanshan Ancient Temple by Gaozhou River.

On February 20th, the first year of Chongzhen, Xu Xiake left his hometown Jiangyin and traveled to Fujian and Guangxi. He entered Fujian on March 12. The mountains, caves and valleys in Fujian made Xu Xiake linger, but after he entered Guangdong in September, the natural landscape made him very disappointed. 10.2, he made a pilgrimage to Guanshan Ancient Temple by Gaozhou River in Guangdong. He saw long green water, lush forests, gorgeous sunset clouds, dancing Sha Ou and fishing boats singing late, which made him relaxed and happy. He wrote a poem on the wall of the temple without thinking:

Green water is near the forest, and you can look back at the mountains at sunset.

Lin You ancient temple has a solitary bright moon, and a cold well and a cold lake reflect the moon.

Seagulls fly everywhere, fishing boats are everywhere, and cranes come with leisure pavilions and cyclamen.

Walking on the path, the stream is far away.

His name was inscribed at the end of the poem. Just after the topic was finished, I saw the abbot of our temple pay deep respect and said that the benefactor is really a good writer. This poem made the temple suddenly enlightened. Hearing this, Xu Xiake blushed. He quickly wiped the word Xu Xiake with his sleeve and said, "Graffiti, graffiti, shame!" Hey! "At this moment, the abbot stepped forward to hold his arm and said," Don't worry, benefactor. Look, what a wonderful palindrome poem. It rhymes from beginning to end, making you feel very happy. "Reverse reading:

Open the tent and take a long stream and walk on the fireworks trail.

Visitors to Youxian Pavilion are idle cranes, boating and fishing for flying gulls.

Taiwan reflects the cold well of Bihu Lake, and the lonely temple in the middle of the month is quiet.

Looking back at the four mountains, watching the sunset, the forest is green and green.

The antithesis is neat, and the combination of reality and reality, especially the "fireworks" and "fairy pavilion", is really a stroke of genius. I have been trying to write a poem for this temple for many years, but I have only learned a little, and I have never been able to do so. It's an honor to meet the benefactor today. Xu Xiake said: "My poems are not as elegant as our temple, but far away from the beauty of nature. This is not the image of our temple." With that, he wiped it with his sleeve. The abbot hugged Xu Xiake and repeatedly dissuaded him, but Xu Xiake gave up. But two conditions are put forward: (1) erase the word Xu Xiake to avoid being laughed at in the future; (2) It is forbidden for the temple to tell anyone that I wrote this poem, and the abbot readily promised.

Like the Guanshan Ancient Temple, this palindrome poem has experienced ups and downs of the times and changes from generation to generation, but it still makes visitors applaud with its unique charm. But the author of this poem has become a mystery and little known.
