Everything is still empty,
Pour water to hide the mountain.
Infinitely dry seedlings are dying,
Leisure is a wonderful peak.
Xia Yun's style is very strange, and it doesn't change often. "There are many strange peaks in the summer clouds" is a famous sentence that has been passed down all the time. But the author of this poem seems to hate Xia Yun. He is very laid-back and pretentious. This is because the author's mood is not leisurely and his intentions are different.
In the first sentence, Xia Yun's various concrete images are put aside, and the word "all kinds" is mentioned in one stroke, followed by the word "unexpected emptiness" with heavy emotional weight. It turns out that the poet is waiting to see the changes with the anxiety of a long drought, hoping for rain. For him, Xia Yun's various postures have no practical significance, and of course they are also unexpected descriptions. Different angles of attention to things naturally lead to different descriptions. Although the description of Xia Yun in this sentence is abstract, it is completely in line with the poet's mood at this time. It describes a process: the cloud constantly conjures up various images, and the poet constantly repeats his hopes and disappointments. Finally, the clouds drifted away with the wind and disappeared, and the poet's hope was finally completely shattered. The word "unexpected emptiness" not only contains deep disappointment contrary to expectations, but also contains a cavity of resentment after feelings are teased.
What will happen after the second sentence is written as "unexpected emptiness"? Although the clouds have changed or even disappeared, people who are eager for rain are still looking for it. It seems to be playing hide-and-seek with people on purpose: looking everywhere, suddenly lowering its head, only to find its reflection reflected in the water; Suddenly looked up and saw it hidden behind the mountain. It seems to be playing tricks in front of you on purpose: sometimes the clouds are light and sometimes they are heavy. This further describes the cloud's ability and leisure, self-satisfaction, and its posture. Poets who have experienced disappointment and being teased can imagine how they feel in the face of the cloud of self-praise.
