This way of starting the story was simple and powerful.

2. ** Portraying a poet **
- It helped to portray the poet's free and easy image. In the face of other people's questions, the poet "smiled without answering", which showed the poet's elegance. He disdained to explain his choice to secular people. He had a kind of peace and freedom in his heart that was not disturbed by the outside world. This image was in line with the image of the hermit in traditional China culture who pursued inner freedom and transcended the world.
3. ** Express the main idea **
- In terms of theme, this poem hinted at the poet's love for seclusion and his distance from the hustle and bustle of the secular world. Bishan was not only a geographical mountain, but also a symbol of a quiet and natural living environment far away from the hustle and bustle. The poet chose to live here, which reflected his yearning and cherish for this kind of life.
** 2. Cultural inheritance **
1. ** Reflect traditional cultural values **
- This poem embodied the admiration of nature and the pursuit of a quiet and leisurely life in traditional China culture. In ancient China culture, the mountain forest was often regarded as an ideal place for self-cultivation.

This poem inherited this cultural value, allowing future readers to understand the ancient people's attitude towards nature and peaceful life.
2. ** Rich cultural content **

In different literary creations, it could be endowed with new meanings, thus enriching the meaning of the entire China culture. For example, in some essays or novels of later generations, this poem might be used to set off the atmosphere or to shape the image of the characters.
