The sky color method and the earth branch method are two common methods in ancient poetry.For example, Li Shu enters Caizhou on a snowy night: "The snow becomes more urgent in the middle of the night... You can go down to the city... Cock crows, the snow stops... The door breaks down when you are in town." "Farewell to Xin Jian from Furong Tower": "The cold rain flows into Wu at night and sees off the guests in Chu Mountain in Pingming." Pingming is another name for Pingdan.Another example is the Lost Street Pavilion: "Wei's soldiers have been trapped since the morning until Xu's day." Jingyanggang: "We can teach our guests to cross the hill at the end of the day."
