This poem expresses the poet's detachment from the world and his longing for loneliness. The poet claimed that he didn't care about anything, but was immersed in the creation of poetry. He has been poor for a long time and feels ashamed of his debt. As the years passed, his love for mountains and forests became deeper and deeper. He realized that with the passage of time, his life was about to disappear in outer space, just like a sailboat abandoned in the shade. He believes that prosperity and decline are doomed, and he is no longer troubled by these pursuits.
This poem expresses the poet's attitude towards worldly honor and disgrace and wealth. This doesn't mean that the poet doesn't care about everything in the world at all, but shows a life attitude that transcends the secular and returns to the truth. He expressed his admiration for Zen through his own situation, which was in line with the attitude that Buddhism was born. At the same time, we can also see the poet's deep fascination with nature, love and attachment to mountains and rivers.
This poem has a certain warning significance for people to reflect on the gains and losses of honor and disgrace in the world, and it calls for returning to nature and pursuing inner peace in the mountains. Poets are indifferent to fame and fortune, return to nature and pursue inner peace and freedom.
