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.
Translation:
Looking at the mountain from its side, it is always different to look at the mountain from far and near.
I can't recognize the true face of Lushan Mountain because I am there. ?
The last two sentences are the author's deep thoughts: the reason why we look at Lushan Mountain from different directions will have different impressions because we are "on this mountain". In other words, only by staying away from Lushan Mountain and jumping out of its shadow can we fully grasp the true face of Lushan Mountain.

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 lived in the Southern Song Dynasty, we can know that this poem was written in May of the seventh year of Yuanfeng. The whole poem tightly hugs you Shan to talk about your unique feelings, and expresses philosophy in a simple way with the help of the image of Lushan Mountain, so it is kind and natural and intriguing.
