Its huge height is close to the city of heaven, connecting a thousand mountains and a corner of the sea. The white clouds merged behind, and the blue mist melted into the mountains and disappeared. The central mountain peaks separate the southwest, and the valleys are different. Want to find a house to live in the mountains, is it convenient for the water guide to ask the woodcutter?
The majestic Taiyi Mountain is near Chang 'an City, which is connected with mountains and winds all the way to the seaside. White clouds wander in the air and look back, but green fog disappears in the mountains. The central main peak separates the south from the east and the west, and the valleys between mountains are different and varied. I want to find a family to live in the mountains. Is it convenient to ask the woodcutter across the water?
In artistic creation, it is important to express the average with the individual and seek perfection with the imperfection. Liu Xie's so-called "less is more" and ancient painters' so-called "meaning is greater than image" all mean this. As a painter and a person, Wang Wei knows the secret, so he can describe the vast Zhongnanshan vividly with a five-character rhyme with only 40 words.
The first couplet, "Its huge height is close to the city of heaven, connecting Qian Shan to the corner of the sea", first exaggerates the outline of Zhong Nanshan. This rough outline can only be obtained from a distance, not from strong light. So this couplet is obviously about writing a vision.
The first couplet is about the vision of Zhong Nanshan, and outlines the general outline of Zhong Nanshan in an exaggerated way. This rough outline can only be seen from a distance, not from strong light. So this link is obviously about writing a vision.
"Taiyi" is another name for Zhong Nanshan. Although the south is high, the sky is far away. To call it "near the sky" is of course an artistic exaggeration. But this is to write a long-term vision. Looking south from the flat ground, its peak is indeed connected with the sky. So to say that it is "near the sky" is to exaggerate the truth. Zhong Nanshan starts from Tianshui, Gansu Province in the west and reaches Shan County, Henan Province in the east, far away from the cape.
It is not true to say that it "meets the corner of the sea", nor is it true to say that it is constantly connected with other mountains until it reaches the corner of the sea. However, this is a long-term vision. Looking from Chang 'an to the south, there is no end in the west and no end in the east. Writing the final vision of South China with "connecting Qian Shan to the corner of the sea" is exaggerated but more and more true.
