He is not only the brother Ikkyu in "The Smart Ikkyu", he is also a generation of eminent monks who are well versed in Zen Buddhism, and he is also a free-spirited ancient Chinese poet! This book is a compilation of Yixiu's most representative poems based on "The Collection of Crazy Clouds". The themes of Yixiu's poems are both the high and ancient mountains and forests, and are full of the atmosphere of the market. In the mountains he is an Arhat, in the city he is a great scholar. In the eyes of ordinary practitioners, there is still the name "form" that they can't let go of, but Ikkyu has already gone beyond the name and form. In his eyes, there is no form or emptiness, but only the truth of being a human being.
