The content of the famous saying: The clouds and mountains are green, the rivers are long, the wind of the gentleman is high, the mountains are high and the rivers are long.

Explanation of the famous saying:

See "Mr. Yan Ke Tang Ji" by Fan Zhongyan of the Song Dynasty.

Cangcang: vast. High and vast. Yangyang (yǎngyang): the appearance of a vast water surface. Sir: Refers to Yan Guang of the Eastern Han Dynasty, who once studied with Liu Xiu. After Liu Xiu ascended the throne, he refused to accept official posts and lived in seclusion on the Fuchun River. Fan Zhongyan here praises his noble sentiments that do not seek wealth or glory. Feng: style and conduct. The general meaning of these sentences is: the clouds and mountains are vast and the rivers are mighty. The gentleman’s noble demeanor is as high as a mountain and as long as water. It can be used to praise people with high integrity, especially to praise the deceased who has a coffin and a high moral character.
