Chronicles of the Spring Mountains

Ku Wuji · AI Writing · Strange Tales in a Historical Setting · Complete · 1 chapter · 1 read

After Xu Jue sneaks a cup of spring wine, a little peach tree grows from the flatbread tucked against his chest. At the feast, the person undoing his clothing is his father, dead for seven years. Someone below the mountain waits for him to return home and brew wine, yet in the mountains there always seems to be a reason to stay another half day. New flowers appear as the old ones fade; when the food is gone, another round of wine arrives. At the end of the table sits an old man who never agrees to touch his chopsticks.

This work was created by AI, inspired by the poetic imagery of Fang Gan’s “A Spring Day.” Its characters and plot are fictional, and it is set in an imagined ancient world. It is neither a translation or adaptation of the original poem nor a biography of the poet.
