Full text: Tianmen breaks the Chu River and opens the Higashi Shimizu River. The green hills on both sides are neck and neck, and a boat meets leisurely from the horizon. Literal meaning of the whole poem: The Yangtze River is like a giant axe, splitting the male peak of Tianmen, where the Qingjiang River flows eastward and then turns north. The green hills on both sides of the strait are opposite, and the beautiful scenery is difficult to distinguish. A ship came from the sunset in the west.
Looking at Tianmen Mountain is a poem by Li Bai, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty. This poem describes the poet's sight of Tianmen Mountain downstream: the first two sentences describe the grandeur of Tianmen Mountain and the momentum of the mighty river; The last two sentences describe the prospect of looking through the gap between the green hills on both sides of the strait, showing a dynamic beauty.
Through the description of Tianmen Mountain, the whole poem praises the magic and magnificence of nature, expresses the author's optimistic and heroic feelings when he first came to Bashu, and shows the author's free and unrestrained spirit. The artistic conception of the works is broad, the weather is majestic, the dynamic and static are in harmony with each other, and they set each other off as interesting, and they can turn static into dynamic and dynamic into static, showing a fresh interest.
Overall appreciation
Tianmen Mountain is facing Jiajiang River, and it is inseparable from the Yangtze River. The first two sentences of the poem start with the relationship between "Jiang" and "Mountain". The first sentence, "Tianmen breaks the Chu River", closely follows the topic and goes all the way to Tianmen Mountain. The key point is that the Chu River rushing eastward breaks through the majestic momentum of Tianmen Mountain.
It gives people rich associations: Tianmen Mountain and Tianmen Mountain were originally a whole, blocking the turbulent river. Due to the impact of the surging waves of the Chu River, Tianmen was knocked open and interrupted, becoming two mountains. This is quite similar to the scene described by the author in "Song of Yuntai in Xiyue to Send Dan Qiu Zi": "Genie (river god) roared and broke two mountains (referring to Huashan in Hexi and shouyangshan in Hedong), and Hongbo sprayed into the East China Sea."
