During the Song Dynasty, the renowned brothers Su Shi and Su Zhe once stayed at a monastery in Mianchi, where they developed a good relationship with the resident old monk and even inscribed poems on the temple walls.

Years later, when Su Shi revisited the old site, he was moved to write the famous poem 'In Response to Ziyou's Poem on Mianchi and Old Times'.

In it, he expressed profound reflections on life's impermanence, with the lines: 'What is life like, wherever one goes? It should be like a flying wild goose treading on snow. Footprints are left on the mud by chance, but the goose flies away, how can one account for its direction?' This poem gave rise to the idiom '飞鸿踏雪', symbolizing the fleeting nature of life's experiences and the transient traces they leave behind.
