Climbing the Yueyang Tower in the rain and looking at Junshan Mountain
Huang Tingjian
One
Thousands of people will die in the wilderness, with hair spots on their temples.
Qutang Yanli Pass was born.
Smile before arriving in Jiangnan,
Yueyang Tower faces Junshan.
Two
The wind and rain abound in the river, leaning on the railing alone,
Binding the twelve servant girls of Xiang'e.
It’s a pity that it’s not on the lake surface.
Green mountains can be seen among the silver mountains. Word explanation:
To be destitute: to be demoted to a remote place.
Qutang: The name of the gorge, located near Fengjie County, Sichuan Province. Yanli (yin Yansu) Pass: Yanlidui is a big stone standing in the river at the mouth of Qutang Gorge. The water nearby is very fast and it is a dangerous area to navigate. There is an ancient folk ballad that says: "The waves are as big as a crocodile" (pronounced "Fu"), and Qutang cannot be touched. Because of its dangerous location, it is called a pass. Born into Yumen Pass: Banchao of the Eastern Han Dynasty served in the Western Regions for thirty-one years. He longed to return home when he was old. If anyone wished to be born into Yumen Pass. Use his words.
Jiangnan: This generally refers to the south bank of the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Including Fenning, the author's hometown.
Sichuan: This refers to Dongting Lake.
Wan (sounding late) knot: (to tie the hair up).
Hui: Bun. Twelve servant girls: It means that the hills and mountains of the king are undulating, like the goddess's various buns.
When: facing directly, it means facing the lake on the lake. Appreciation of the work:
The first poem is about joy. In the first year of Chongning in the Song Dynasty, Huang Tingjian was demoted to Sichuan and pardoned nearly six years later. On his way back to his hometown in Fenning, Jiangxi Province, he passed by Yueyang and climbed up the stairs in the rain to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the lakes and mountains. He wrote this poem to express his joy after being pardoned. The first sentence is about going through all the ups and downs and narrow escape from death. The second sentence is about never expecting to survive the Qutang Gorge and Yanli Pass alive, which expresses the joy of rebirth after the disaster. Three or four sentences further describe the joy of returning from exile: I smiled with joy before I even arrived at my hometown in the south of the Yangtze River. I admired the magnificent scenery on the Yueyang Tower. When I returned to my hometown, I still don’t know how happy I should be! This poem is free and easy, and the poet's optimism and boldness can be imagined. It reflects the poet's fearless, open-minded and free mood. The whole poem is well-written and expresses emotions clearly.
The following poem describes the feeling of leaning on the railing and overlooking Dongting Lake. "Manchuan is full of wind and rain", which implicitly refers to the bad political situation in which the author lives. Even in such a difficult environment, he still enjoyed the beautiful scenery of lakes and mountains while leaning on the railing with great interest, which shows that he has a high chest. The second sentence describes the impression I got while leaning on the railing. Looking from afar, the peaks of Junshan look like the twelve buns of the goddess of Xiangshui River, which expresses the aura of Junshan. Take a step forward in three or four sentences and imagine how pleasant it would be to watch Junshan in detail on the peak of Boxinlang where the lake wind blows in your face and the white waves lift the sky!? Look at the green mountains among the silver mountains?, write in simple words. A very magnificent landscape. The poet was worried for the rest of his life, but he was able to write such high-spirited poems with such a broad mind, which has been admired for thousands of years.
