From: Su Shi's title Xilin Wall in Song Dynasty
Looking at Lushan Mountain from the front and side of peaks and valleys, from far, near, high and low places, Lushan Mountain presents various faces.
I can't recognize the true face of Lushan Mountain because I am there.
From the front and side, Lushan Mountain is undulating and peaks stand tall, and it is different from a distance, a close look, a high look and a low look. The reason why I can't tell the true face of Lushan Mountain is because I am in Lushan Mountain.
The extended message "I don't know the true face of Lushan Mountain, but toward which corner of the mountain" is an impromptu reasoning, which is about the experience of traveling to the mountains. 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 sentences are wonderful, and the whole artistic conception is fully displayed, which provides readers with a space to recall experiences and gallop their imagination.
It's not just a tour to have this rational understanding. This is what you see when you visit the mountains, and it is often the same when you observe things in the world. These two poems are rich in connotation 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 inevitably one-sided; To understand the truth and the whole picture, we must go beyond the narrow scope and get rid of subjective prejudice.
