A poem written by Yang Wanli, a poet from the Song Dynasty, said that it is no longer difficult to go down the mountain.

Southern Song Dynasty poet Yang Wanli's "Crossing Songyuan Chenchuiqigongtian":

Mo Yan said that it would be easy to go down to the ridge, and it would make pedestrians like it.

Entering the circle of thousands of mountains, every mountain passes through its obstacles.

Vernacular translation:

Don’t leave the predicament simply by saying that you are coming down the mountain

If you say this, you will make your fellow travelers feel happy in vain

After passing this mountain, there will be another mountain blocking the road

Commentary:

Not to mention that it is not difficult to come down from the mountain. Before going down the mountain, the passers-by often rejoice in vain. After walking into the mountains, you came out of one mountain, but you were blocked by another mountain. With the help of scene descriptions and vivid metaphors, the poet explains a profound truth of universal significance by writing about the feelings of traveling in mountainous areas: no matter what people do, they must fully estimate the difficulties on the way forward, and do not be distracted by one thing or another. Intoxicated by success. When grasping the theme of this poem, we should first position the style as a philosophical poem, and then we can quickly know that this poem expresses the feelings of mountain climbing, but actually talks about the philosophy of life: when you achieve certain results, you must not be complacent. Be complacent and should keep making progress.

Appreciation:

The first half of the poem is discussion, and the second half is description. The two constitute the internal connection of first effect and later cause, both of which are permeated with the poet's rich thoughts and feelings, creating It creates a profound artistic conception. It is through this profound artistic conception that a profound philosophy is expressed: Is there no difficulty in life? Life is a constant struggle against "difficulties". A life without "difficulties" cannot be achieved in the real society. Doesn't exist.

This poem is simple, vivid, and expressive. The word "empty" highlights the loss of the "pedestrian" after being "earned". The use of words such as "release" and "block" endows "Wanshan" with human thoughts and character, making Wanshan come alive.

With the help of scene descriptions and vivid metaphors, the poet explains a profound truth of universal significance by writing about the feelings of traveling in mountainous areas: no matter what people do, they must be fully prepared for the difficulties on the way forward. Don't be intoxicated by temporary success.
