Creation background
Su Shi moved from Huangzhou (now Huanggang, Hubei) to Ruzhou (now Linru, Henan) in the seventh year of Zongshen Yuanfeng (1084). When I went to Ruzhou, I passed through Jiujiang and visited Lushan Mountain with my friends. 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. According to the chronology of Mr. Dongpo, who stayed behind in the Southern Song Dynasty, we can know that this poem was written in May of the seventh year of Yuanfeng.
This poem describes the changing face of Lushan Mountain, and points out that the observation problem should be objective and comprehensive, and if it is subjective and one-sided, it will not reach a correct conclusion. ? The first two sentences, "Looking at the mountain from the side is the peak, and the distance is different", are actually what you saw and heard when you visited the mountain. Lushan Mountain is a hilly and gully mountain with undulating peaks and valleys. Tourists are located in different places and see different scenery. These two sentences summarize and vividly write the various forms of Lushan Mountain.
