In the long river of literature and art, pine, as a common Chinese cultural image, frequently appears in poetry and painting works. Bai Juyi's poem " Pine in Court" does not write about pine trees in nature, but rather about ordinary pine trees in a courtyard. The planting method seems chaotic and "like wild things," but in reality, there is a hidden poetic meaning in the chaos. A merely demolished pine forest. There is a hill in west Rizhao, my hometown. It was originally a barren mountain, but my friend Mr. Yan Zanning spent 20 years changing it to a tea garden and naming it "Cloud Passing Hill". Mr. Yan invited me to do some new things for this garden. For the first time strolling in the garden, one suddenly enters a pine forest, where the pine trees are like those in Bai Juyi's "Ting Song", messy and lively. Although planted by humans, they look like wild animals.
