Background :
诗句出自明代诗人魏时敏的作品《夏日寄高尊卿》。这首诗表达了诗人对友人的思念之情，以及对自然山水的热爱和归隐之志。
The lines come from “Summer Days: A Letter to the Honorable Gao” by Wei Shimin, a poet of the Ming dynasty. The poem expresses the poet’s longing for his friend, his love for the natural landscape, and his aspiration for a life of seclusion.
