Since ancient times, clouds and waves have been rolling around the city, and the autumn wind has blown away the crisp sound of hooves. The rushing Yellow River flows into the flat and vast Yuan Ye, but it is still too restrained. When the continuous Qinling Mountains entered Tongguan (west), they no longer knew what flatness was.
Original poem:
Modern Tongguan: Tan Sitong
Finally, high clouds were gathering in the city, and the autumn wind blew away the sound of hooves.
The river is still too wild, and it is not smooth to enter Tongguan Mountain.
Extended data:
The closed building at the east gate of Tongguan ancient town. The corner of Qilin Mountain outside the East Gate looks like a tiger crouching at the door. The East Gate Tower faces the Yellow River in the north, facing the corner of Qilin Mountain, and the Yuanwanggou natural barrier in the east. It is the only way to enter the customs from the east, which is extremely dangerous and has the trend of "one person guards it and ten thousand people can't force it". When entering the customs, you can climb up the steep slope outside the East Gate and look up at the Guanlou and the towering Qilin Mountain, just like a tiger guarding the East Gate of Shaanxi, which is famous for its grandeur and preciseness.
1In the autumn of 882, 17-year-old Tan Sitong passed through Tongguan, Shaanxi, on his way from his hometown in Hunan to his father's office in Gansu, where he enjoyed the magnificent scenery of the mountains and rivers in the north. This young man, full of heroic spirit, rode up the Tongguan ancient road halfway up the mountain, looking at the river by the mountain, and on impulse, he went forward bravely. The crisp sound of hooves was blown away by the hunting west wind and flew into the rolling clouds.
Ah, Yuntao, Yuntao, rolling Yuntao in all directions, probably since ancient times, this magnificent pass has been covered with white clouds; There are crowds around. You never knew, did you? Great wonders are still higher and farther. Tongguan is located at the junction of Shaanxi, Shanxi and Henan provinces, with Huashan peaks in the south and Yuxi Plain in the east.
The poet immediately entered the city and saw the Yellow River roaring from the northern plateau canyon, suddenly turning at the foot of the cliff and heading for the flat and vast Yuan Ye, but the momentum did not ease, as if the riverbed was still too tight; The continuous peaks are not so eye-catching in Kanto. As soon as they entered Tongguan, they suddenly rose and soared, fighting for the odds and risks, lest they appear mediocre! ?
Naturally, the so-called "the river is too tied" and the mountains are too uneven, which are all induced by the majestic momentum of the Yellow River and Huashan Mountain in the poet's mind, reflecting the heroic and unrestrained passion of young poets and their desire to get rid of feudal shackles and pursue ideological emancipation, and completely in tune with the social trend of change and rising power in China at that time.
/kloc-at the end of 0/9th century, in the history of our country, it was an unprecedented era of national crisis and national spirit. Through Tan Sitong's romantic poems, we seem to hear the footsteps of a new era approaching rapidly.
