Story:
During the Western Han Dynasty, the litterateur Sima Xiangru wrote "Shanglin Fu" (Rhapsody on the Imperial Park). In this work, he created two fictional characters, Master Zixu of Chu and Master Wuyou of Qi, whose elaborate discussions vividly depicted the grandeur and prosperity of the Crown Prince's Imperial Park.
The Shanglin Park was immense, with eight rivers ceaselessly flowing and countless rare birds and beasts inhabiting it. Flowers, grasses, and trees were everywhere, and the vegetation swayed and undulated with the wind, resembling waves in a vast ocean.
