In Song painter Xu Dao ning's Leaning on a Staff Under Pines, a hermit walking out on a small path from under the shadow of a thicket of dark pines and bright bamboo by a lake cannot help but stop and listen in fascination as the pines and bamboos dipping and bowing before the wind play out a melody to rival that of the lake's crashing waves.
宋朝畫家許道寧的「松下曳杖」圖裡，湖畔蒼松翠竹，盤紆成陰，自小徑步出的逸士，不得不停步凝神傾聽，因為松竹隨風俯偃，如湖上的波濤，自成曲韻。
