The Abbot’s Hut
- Poetry of Qiwu Qian

This seven-character quatrain, composed during the poet’s visit to a Buddhist temple, distills the essence of a sacred nightscape into twenty-eight characters. "Man Gong’s Chamber" (满公房) likely refers to a revered monk’s abode or a hall of worship, where lotus flowers, incense, and the "King of Lamps" merge into a tableau of spiritual transcendence. Through sparse yet evocative imagery, Feng captures both the physical serenity of the temple and its metaphysical resonance—where light and silence become conduits for enlightenment.
