This picture is based on the poetic flavor of Xianyang City East Tower by Xu Hun, a poet of the Tang Dynasty. The original poem is “When you go up to a high city, you will feel sorrow for thousands of miles, and the Jianjia willows will look like Tingzhou. When the brook clouds rise and sink at the beginning, the pavilion will sink, and the mountain rain is about to come and the wind will fill the building.

The motherland will come to the Wei River from the east.” The picture depicts the. The dark thick clouds are rolling in.
