            The phrase '故居北海' combines two elements: '故' which means 'old', referring to the past, and '北海' which is 'Beihai,' typically referring to a place name. Together they suggest nostalgia for an old house or place located in or near Beihai, possibly symbolizing an attachment to a historic location.
