works appreciation

The title Xilinbi is a summary after visiting Lushan Mountain. It describes the various features of Lushan Mountain, and points out that the observation should be objective and comprehensive, and if it is subjective and one-sided, it will not be possible to draw a correct conclusion. The first two sentences, "Looking at the mountain from the side is the peak, and the distance is different", are actually what you saw and heard when you visited the mountain. Lushan Mountain is a hilly and gully mountain with undulating peaks and valleys. Tourists are located in different places and see different scenery. These two sentences summarize and vividly write the various forms of Lushan Mountain.

The last two sentences, "I don't know the true face of Lushan Mountain, but I am only in this mountain", are about the experience of visiting Lushan Mountain (what I think). Why can't you identify the true face of Lushan Mountain? Because I am in the middle of Lushan Mountain, my vision is limited by the peaks of Lushan Mountain, and I only see one peak, one ridge, one hill and one valley of Lushan Mountain, which is one-sided and inevitably one-sided. This is what you see when you visit the mountains, and it is often the same when you observe things in the world. These two poems are rich in connotation and enlighten people to understand a philosophy of being human-because people are in different positions and have different starting points, their understanding of objective things is inevitably one-sided; To understand the truth and the whole picture, we must go beyond the narrow scope and get rid of subjective prejudice.

This is a philosophical poem by the richest man, but the poet does not talk about it abstractly, but talks about his unique feelings by hugging the mountain tightly. With the help of the image of Lushan Mountain, he expressed philosophy in simple terms in popular language, so he was kind and natural. The meaning of this poem is very profound, but the language used is extremely simple. Simplicity is one of Su Shi's linguistic features. Su Shi has no habit of carving when writing poems. What the poet pursues is to express a fresh and unprecedented artistic conception in simple and fluent language; And this artistic conception, from time to time flashing the light of philosophy. Judging from this poem, although the language expression is concise, it is rich in connotation. In other words, poetic language itself is a high degree of unity of image and logic.

In four poems, the poet roughly describes the image characteristics of Lushan Mountain, and accurately points out the reasons why it is irrelevant to see the mountain. Bright sensibility and clear rationality are intertwined and mutually causal, so the image of poetry is sublimated into a model in the field of rationality, which is why people regard the last two sentences as philosophical epigrams for thousands of times.
