这首诗由唐朝诗人徐夤所作,徐夤生活在晚唐时期,擅长咏史怀古。山阴(今浙江绍兴)是历史名地, associated with figures like Wang Xizhi and Wang Xianzhi. The poem likely reflects Xu Yin's visit to Shan Yin, where he was inspired by local legends and historical stories, expressing admiration for ancient sages and the eternal nature of virtue and art.
