I don't know where Ji Xiang Temple is, so I climbed several miles into the clouds and peaks.
Ancient trees are towering, but there are no pedestrian paths, and there are bells in the mountains in the temple.
The spring water in the mountains hits the dangerous rocks, and the sun in the pine forest is cold.
In the evening, come to the empty pool and meditate quietly to suppress the dragon.
The title "Guo Ji Xiang Temple" means "visit" and "visit". Not only visit Ji Xiang Temple, but also talk about "I don't know"; "I don't know" and want to visit, which shows that the poet is free and easy. Because "I don't know", the poet stepped into the vast forest to look for it, walked for several miles and entered the mountain peak surrounded by white clouds. This sentence was written on the front, and people entered Yunfeng, which actually set off the seclusion of Ji Xiang Temple. Before we arrived at the temple, it was foggy, so we could imagine the distance of Ji Xiang Temple.
Wang Wei's poems and pens in his later years often have a calm and quiet atmosphere. This poem depicts the secluded environment of the ancient mountain temple with his quiet state of mind of indulging in Buddhism, thus creating a lofty and secluded artistic conception. Wang Guowei said: "I don't know all the scenery, but all the feelings." The first six sentences of this poem are purely about scenery, but there is no place that does not reveal the poet's artistic conception. It can be said that Wang Wei has integrated the interest of "the passage of time has given me nothing but peace" into the scenery described. Therefore, the final "thought can conquer passion-dragon" is the natural expression of the poet's mind.
Poetry approaches Ji Xiang Temple from far and near, from scenery to emotion, from "entering Yunfeng" to "empty pool music", and finally reveals the feeling that "thought can conquer lust-dragon". It is natural that there is no trace of this transition. The poet painted a quiet mountain scene, instead of working hard from silence. He deliberately wrote faint bells and sobbing springs, which not only did not dilute the tranquility of the whole environment, but added a sense of seclusion to the deep mountains and forests. This is the realm of "Tonamiyama is more secluded".
