A line taken from the next poem.
A flying ship
Wang Fuzhi
Occasionally, a leaf fell in front of the peak, and the drizzle and dangerous smoke lazily buckled the side.
The long white clouds cover it for a few feet, and the Xiaoxiang Juan water sits in the middle of the sky.

He has been immersed in writing for forty years and has made outstanding contributions in the fields of Chinese philosophy, classics, history, literature and other fields. His poems mostly reflect the thoughts of resisting the Qing Dynasty and thinking about his motherland. "Jiang Zhai Poetry Talk" advocates the blending of scenes in poetry.

Poetic Interpretation
There are different understandings of this poem. One opinion is that it describes the agility and speed of the boats on the Xiangjiang River. A small boat floated in front of Shichuan Peak like a visitor from outside. The boat owner was so intoxicated by the natural landscape that he simply stopped the boat and stayed for a long time among the green mountains and green waters, enjoying the beauty brought by nature. Another opinion is that the "flying ship" is a metaphor for Shichuan Mountain. Shichuan Mountain is like a "flying ship" descending from the sky. This "ship" was intoxicated by the misty and quiet mountains and rivers, and simply anchored forever to rest. Finally, Become part of the landscape. From a poetic point of view, the author feels that the second statement is closer to the author's description and more consistent with the actual situation. Because Shichuan Mountain itself has the image of a ship. The author is in the natural landscape and looking at Shichuan Mountain. The solitary icon of Shichuan Mountain is really like a big ship that is always docked among the green mountains and green waters. So the author began his chant. On the shore of the Xiang River, Shichuan Mountain looks so abrupt, like a small boat falling from the sky. A flat boat depicts both the abruptness of the mountain and the elegance and beauty of Shichuan Mountain.
Then, there is the description of the surrounding environment of Shichuan Mountain, "The drizzle is dangerous and the smoke is lazily buckling on the side of the ship." The poet does not directly describe the beauty of the surrounding environment, but "personifies" Shichuan Mountain, and the boat is landing in the sky. In front of the peak, the boat owner looked around. The surrounding mountains and rivers were misty and quiet. The boat owner suddenly entered a state of ecstasy. His mind was intoxicated by the blurred beauty, and his thoughts were flying with the tranquility of nature. Therefore, he forgot about his own Duty, no longer fulfilling the task of driving a boat, but leisurely enjoying the beauty of nature.
The last two sentences further expand the nostalgia for the flying ship. It wants to take this as its destination and sit in the water forever and feel content.
"Borrowing white clouds to seal a few feet", I want to own a territory between the blue sky and white clouds, and stay forever among the white clouds and blue sky in the spring water of the Xiangjiang River. This is really like being in a paradise.
The author said "a few feet" here, firstly, it reflects the author's high cherishment and intoxication of the natural landscape of this place. Only a few feet of space is enough to make people beautiful. The second is related to the description of "peak". Shichuan Mountain expands to high altitude and occupies a small area, so it only needs to borrow a few feet from Baiyun.
Why does Shichuan Mountain not leave after flying? Why is the boat owner so intoxicated? Why does it want to borrow space from the long white clouds? It is because "the spring water of Xiaoxiang sits in the middle of the sky". The spring of Xiangjiang River is so charming, with white clouds and blue sky, lofty artistic conception; green water and green mountains, Quiet and pleasant, how can all this not make people intoxicated? How can Shichuanshan be willing to leave after arriving here? Shichuanshan is so obsessed with the natural scenery, what about the poet who lives in seclusion here? Among the green mountains and green waters, the author's soul is also affected Cultivation creates a strong desire to return to nature. The poet is also a "flying ship", and the Shichuan Mountain floating high above the white clouds and spring water is the poet's self-portrait.
