It means walking leisurely out of the water, sitting down and looking up at the fluttering of white clouds. From the Tang Dynasty poet Wang Wei's "I live in seclusion in Zhongnanshan": "My middle-aged heart found a way, and I came to live at the foot of this mountain. Interest concentration is often unique to play and have a happy thing to enjoy self-appreciation. Sometimes go to the end of the water to seek the source, or sit and watch the ever-changing clouds rise. One day I met an old woodcutter, laughing and laughing, and never came back. "
Translation:
I was kind-hearted in middle age and moved to the foot of Nanshan in my later years. When I am in a good mood, I wander alone, only I know. Take a leisurely stroll outside the water, sit down and look up at the fluttering of white clouds. Occasionally I meet an old man in the forest and forget to return with a smile.
Poetry appreciation:
"I will keep walking until the water blocks my way, and then sit down and watch the rising clouds" means "victory". Wandering in the mountains, unconsciously, I have reached the end of the stream, and there seems to be no way to go, but the poet feels that his eyes are broadened and simply sits down and looks at the surging clouds in the sky. Everything is so natural, and the flowing water and white clouds in the mountains have aroused the author's endless interest, which shows that he is carefree.
"I will go on until the water blocks my way" makes readers realize the generosity of "all that should be done"; "Then sit and watch the clouds rising in Ran Ran", while enjoying the most leisurely state, you can also appreciate the endless excitement of beautiful scenery!
Clouds are invisible, erratic and changeable, thus giving people the impression of being careless, comfortable and doing nothing. There is a poem by Tao Qian, "Clouds come out of a hole unintentionally" (back to Xi). In the eyes of Buddhists, clouds symbolize "impermanence" and "restless heart". Therefore, "then sit and watch Yun Qi" also includes the Zen machine of "having no place to live, but having a heart".
In short, it is "empty". If people can get rid of persistence and be as careless as a cloud, they can get rid of troubles, get rid of troubles and get comfortable. The poet had an epiphany when he sat down and looked at them.
Look at the flowing water and white clouds, which are indistinguishable, and have reached the realm of unity of things and me. From the structural point of view, the phrase "I will go to the water to stop my path, and then sit and watch Yun Qi" is steady and consistent, while from the artistic point of view, it is like a landscape painting, which is "painting in poetry".
