謂余杭懸霤山近延陵之茅山，是洞庭西門，潛通五嶽，陳安世、茅季偉常所遊處，於是立精舍於懸霤，而往來茅嶺之洞室，放絕世務，以尋仙館，朔望時節還家定省而已。 He held that Mount Xuansliu in Yuhang, near Mount Mao by Yanling, was the western portal of Dongting and linked invisibly to the Five Marchmounts—the ground where Chen Anshi and Mao Jiwei had roamed. There he built a hermitage and moved between the caves on Mao Ridge, turning his back on the world to seek the immortals' abodes, coming home only at the new and full moons to greet his parents.
