Shadow of giant salamander

Mr. Shi's recent photo
On September 3, 2020, 92-year-old Mr. Shi personally inscribed and mounted a poem "Night View" by Su Dongpo, which has been circulating in Bashu for a long time, and donated it to "Bowangshan Art Museum" as a calligraphy work. Because of its strange writing style, it is difficult to distinguish how to read this poem. So, Mr. Shi explained it vividly with a hand-held quinoa, and the listener was dumbfounded and exclaimed again and again!
Watch it at night
The first sentence of this poem is written like this:
How to read the first sentence of a poem;
No one painted a short view of the pavilion,
Read the second sentence of this poem:
The boss is stalling.
How to read the third sentence of a poem;
Looking back at the broken clouds and the oblique sunset,
How to read the fourth sentence of this poem:
Qujiang depression side mountain peak.
Read through the whole poem:
Watch it at night
Song sushi
No one painted a short view of the pavilion,
The boss is stalling.
Looking back at the broken clouds and the oblique sunset,
Qujiang depression side mountain peak.
Poetry appreciation
This song "Looking at the Night" is called "The Body of the Mind", which was "deciphered" with understanding and wisdom. In fact, like palindromes, it is "a rare but not very valuable thing" and even has a serious formalistic tendency.
According to Su Shi's own explanation, the word "pavilion" is very long and the word "scenery" is very short. The drawing in the picture is very strange, indicating that there is no one inside. This sentence is read as "no one painted the short scenery in the long pavilion".
Soul poetry: also known as "fantastic poetry". During the Ningnian period in JaeHee, a Liao messenger boasted that he could write poems. The emperor appointed Su Shi as his library companion, and Liao made poems. Su Shi stumped the Liao envoy with his soul poem "Overlooking" (also known as "Overlooking at Night"), making him ignorant and never speaking poetry again. The twelve strange words above are combined into a poem called "Looking at the Night".
However, because it "paints with righteousness and makes people since the enlightenment", it has the nature of knowing, so it can be described as "observing the shape". So it may have some effect on training people's thinking. If you think of it as an intellectual game, I think it's ok.
The word "old" in the second sentence below is particularly large, the word "drag" is written horizontally, and the bamboo head of "sword" is particularly thin. This sentence is pronounced as "the boss drags the bamboo".
The first word in the third sentence is written backwards, the word "cloud" (traditional) is broken in the middle, and the word "sunset" is inclined in the middle. This sentence reads: "Looking back at the setting sun through the clouds".
In the fourth sentence, the word "work" in the word "Jiang" is curved, the word "immersion" is written backwards, and the word "mountain" next to the word "peak" is written horizontally. This sentence reads "Qujiang dips in the side mountain peak." The whole idea turned into a "vigil".
