Verses praising the motherland:
1. The Tianmen interrupts the opening of the Chu River, and the clear water flows eastwards to this point.
From: "Looking at Tianmen Mountain" by Li Bai of the Tang Dynasty.
Appreciation: Stick to the title, always write about Tianmen Mountain, and focus on the magnificent momentum of the Chu River flowing eastward, rushing through Tianmen Mountain. It gives people rich associations: the two mountains of Tianmen were originally a whole, blocking the raging river. Due to the impact of the raging waves of the Chu River, the "Tianmen" was opened, interrupting it and forming two mountains, the east and west.
2. Egrets fly in front of Xisai Mountain, and mandarin fish are fat in peach blossoms and flowing water.
From: Tang Dynasty poet Zhang Zhihe's "Yu Gezi: Egrets Flying in Front of Xisai Mountain".
Translation: Egrets are flying freely in front of Xisai Mountain, peach blossoms are in full bloom on the river banks, the spring water is rising, and mandarin fish are plump in the water.
Appreciation: From a distance, it looks a bit like a white crane, with particularly long legs and neck, making it easier to find food in the water. "Egrets fly in front of Xisai Mountain", they spread their wings and fly in front of Xisai Mountain, making this land of plenty and plenty of life even more interesting.

Translation: You look at me, I look at you, we don’t hate each other, it’s just me and the Jingting Mountain in front of me.
Appreciation: Use romantic techniques to personify and personalize Jingting Mountain. Although the bird flew away, the poet still did not go back, nor did he want to go back.

There is no need to say anything between them, they have reached emotional communication.
