Literary Pursuits

In the Song Dynasty, there were "four kinds of leisure things" that were popular in the streets and alleys, that is, "burning incense, making tea, hanging paintings, and arranging flowers". They were widely enjoyed by emperors of different dynasties with high artistic achievements and scholars who focused on spiritual and cultural pleasures. People can burn a stick of incense, make a cup of tea, enjoy a delicious Song banquet, and be immersed in the Song people's "Literary pursuits are everywhere in daily life" in the cultural gatherings of Song Yun (Charm of the Song Dynasty).
