"Plucking Wei" is divided into five parts: "The Butterfly Comes", "The Peach Blossom", "You Xuan in the Beitang", "Dry Rain and Flowers" and "Night Talk around the Fireplace". Each part seems to be independent, but they are related to each other. Picking weeds indicates the cycle of seasons, the sequential progression of phenological phenomena, and the alternation of moon dew, stars, wind and clouds, flowers, birds, grass and insects. This manuscript mainly expresses the perception, observation and thinking of one's own life and all things in nature. It reflects the harmony of movement and stillness of all things and the harmony of each other, and implies the variables and permanence of human nature. The vicissitudes of the world, the right path of the world, are in this poetic blend of ending and rebirth, accepting all the details of life without ever being distorted.
