Gaoyao Xiashan Temple is a famous temple in the Tang Dynasty. The old abbot raised a white ape, which was very well-behaved. Gao Lishi, a favored minister of the Emperor Ming of the Tang Dynasty, returned to Beijing and paid homage to the Xiashan Temple. He saw the white ape and fell in love with it, so he took it back to Chang'an and presented it to the Emperor Ming of the Tang Dynasty, who raised it in Shangyang Palace. During the Anshi Rebellion, the city of Chang'an was destroyed, and the White Ape disappeared without a trace.
Sun Ke, a failed scholar, lived in Luoyang and fell in love with Yuan, the white ape's incarnation, at first sight, and they became a beautiful couple. In the past ten years, I have raised two sons and experienced the ups and downs of the world, love and hate. "This heart has just been conquered by kindness, and it has changed for no reason and is almost lost. It is better to go back to the mountains with my companions, and let out a long whistle and the smoke is deep." Yuan finally turned into an ape and returned to the mountains with his companions. Sun Ke and his two sons wandered around the rivers and lakes without knowing where they were.
The book incorporates the highly influential Buddhist culture, Duan Inkstone culture and Dragon Mother culture in Zhaoqing during the Tang Dynasty, and has profound cultural connotations.
