"Inscribed on the Silin Wall" is such a good poem. The poet first wrote about what he saw when he visited the mountain in a very real way, showing the majestic and majestic posture of Lushan Mountain's crisscrossing hills and undulating peaks. Then he used the scenery to reason: If the tourists are in different locations, the scenery they see will also be different. Each is different.
? Tell people the truth: For relatively complex things, if you cannot analyze them objectively and calmly, you may be confused by local phenomena and fail to fully and correctly understand the thing. That is, we often say "Those who are in authority are confused, but bystanders are clear". Therefore, the last two sentences of this poem, "I don't know the true face of Mount Lu, I just know that I am in this mountain" can be called a wonderful idea, which makes the whole artistic conception come out clearly, and provides readers with a space for endless aftertaste and imagination.
This is not only a rational understanding that can only be obtained by traveling through mountains and rivers, but can also be extended to observing everything in the world. It is also a philosophy that enlightens people to understand how to deal with people: people have different status, vision, and structure because of their different , the starting points for looking at problems are also different, and the understanding of objective things is inevitably one-sided; to understand the truth and full picture of things, we must transcend the narrow scope and get rid of subjective prejudices.
Therefore, "Inscribed on the Western Forest Wall" not only allows people to appreciate the wonders and majesty of Lushan Mountain sung by the poet, but also enlightens people's minds with philosophy. Therefore, this poem makes people never tire of reading it. This is also the reason why people have regarded "I don't know the true face of Mount Lu just because I am in this mountain" thousands of times as a philosophy and aphorism.
