Creation background
This poem was written by the poet when he was appointed as the deputy envoy of Jiankang Jiangdong. Poets advocate the war of resistance and oppose kneeling down all their lives, so they can't be reused. After Song Xiaozong acceded to the throne, he was released as an official. When the author passed through the Song and Yuan Dynasties, he was deeply moved by the mountains and rivers and wrote this poem.
Make an appreciative comment
This poem is concise, vivid and vivid, and the word "empty" highlights the expression of "pedestrian" lost after being "earned". The use of words such as "release" and "stop" endows Wanshan people with ideas and personality, and makes Wanshan come alive.
The first sentence, "Mo Yan has no difficulty going down the mountain", is a pregnant poem, which contains the whole process of going up the mountain before he went down the mountain and all kinds of feelings about the difficulties he experienced. It is precisely because of the difficulty of going up the mountain that people often see it as easy and relaxed. The first sentence is like a big drink to this common psychology. The word "Mo Yan" is like a self-warning, a reminder, which is intriguing.
The second sentence supplements the first sentence "Earn others' love", and the word "Earn" is full of humor. The ease of going down the mountain in the eyes of pedestrians is in sharp contrast with its actual difficulty, so it is said that "earning"-pedestrians are deceived by their subjective imagination of going down the mountain. The poet pointed out here that not telling the truth left suspense for readers and made the appearance of the latter two sentences more noticeable.
Three or four sentences follow "nothing" to explain the suspense left by the second sentence. It turns out that how many mountains to climb in the process of going up the mountain and how many mountains to encounter in the process of going down the mountain. Yamamoto's ignorance is fearless, but the description of "letting one mountain pass and blocking another mountain" has turned mountains into living and spiritual things. It seems to have arranged a * array for pedestrians and set up layers of traps. The feelings of pedestrians-accident, surprise, boredom, until an epiphany, are also reflected in this repetition of "stop" and "release".
With the help of scenery descriptions and vivid metaphors, the poet explained a profound truth with universal significance by writing about the feelings of walking in the mountains: no matter what people do, they should fully estimate the difficulties on their way forward and not be intoxicated with temporary success.
