Make an appreciative comment
This is a philosophical poem expressing reading experience. "Half an acre of square pond is open, and the sky is high and the clouds are light." Half an acre of square pond is not big, but it is as clear as a mirror. The "mirror" of "one mirror" is a "mirror", which looks at people's mirrors and opens like a "half-acre square pond". Although the "half acre square pond" is small, it is as clear as a mirror, and "the sky and clouds" are reflected by it. Sparkling and floating. See you later. As a description of the scenery, it can also be said that it is very vivid. The images displayed in these two sentences can give people a sense of beauty and make people feel open-minded. This perceptual image itself also contains a rational thing. It can be seen that the water in the "half acre square pond" is deep and clear, so it can reflect "the sky and clouds"; On the other hand, if it is shallow and dirty, it cannot be reflected, or it cannot be accurately reflected.
It is precisely by grasping this point that the poet made further exploration and wrote three or four philosophical sentences: "What is the clarity of the canal?" ? Because there is flowing water from the source. "The canal of Wen Qu is not the canal of a canal of water, but the meaning of it, which refers to the square pond." Asking about the canal means asking about it. In this place, "it" means "square pond". The poet didn't say how deep the square pond was. The third poem highlights the word "Qing", which already contains "Shen". Because if the water in the pool does not have a certain depth, even if it is "clear", it cannot reflect the modality of "the sky is high and the clouds are light". If the poet grasps the "deep" and "clear" pool water, he can reflect the characteristics of "sky light and clouds". But the poet didn't stop there. He raised a further question. "Ask" the square pond ""is that clear? "Asking why it is so' clear' can reflect' sky and clouds'. There is no way to answer this question by looking at this square pond in isolation. The poet then opened his eyes and looked from a distance. Finally, he saw the "source" of "Fangtang" and found the answer. It is precisely because "Fangtang" is not passive water, it has inexhaustible "source" and continuously delivers "living water" to it. This "square pond" will never be exhausted, stale, dirty, deep and clean because of the continuous input of "flowing water from the source". "Qing" can not only embody "sky and clouds", but also embody such detailed modality as "sky and clouds" and "* * *". This is the image and ideological significance of this little poem.
