"I don't know the true face of Lushan Mountain, but I am only in this mountain" is the experience of reasoning on the spot and talking about traveling to the mountain. The reason why we can't recognize the true face of Lushan Mountain is because we are in the middle of Lushan Mountain and our vision is limited by the peaks and valleys of Lushan Mountain. What we see is only one peak, one ridge, one hill and one valley, which is only partial and inevitably one-sided.
These two poems are rich in connotations and enlighten people to understand a philosophy of being human: because people are in different positions and have different starting points, their understanding of objective things is bound to be one-sided; To understand the truth and the whole picture, we must go beyond the narrow scope and get rid of subjective prejudice.

The magnificent landscape triggered a vigorous and magnificent idea, so I wrote several poems about Lushan Mountain. The title Xilin Wall is a summary after visiting Lushan Mountain.
