The ancient poems about positivity are as follows:
1. Don’t be afraid of the clouds covering your eyes, because you are at the highest level. ——Wang Anshi
Translation: I am not afraid that the floating clouds will block my sight, just because I am at the top now.
Appreciation: In the first sentence of the poem, the poet uses the exaggerated word "Qianxun" to express the height of his own foothold by referring to the height of the ancient pagoda on the peak. The second sentence of the poem cleverly simulates the glorious scene of the rising sun seen on the tower, showing the poet's vigor, ambition for reform, and full confidence in the future, which becomes the emotional tone of the whole poem.
The last two sentences of the poem follow the first two sentences to describe the scene, discuss and express emotions, making the poem both vivid and profound in philosophy. The ancients often worried about floating clouds blocking the sun and evil ministers covering the wise, but the poet added the word "not afraid". It shows the poet's courage and determination to be far-sighted in politics and not afraid of evil.
2. I don’t know the true face of Mount Lu, just because I am in this mountain. ——Su Shi
Translation: The reason why I cannot recognize the true face of Mount Lu is because I am in Mount Lu.
Appreciation: Lushan Mountain is named after the masters of the Zhou Wu Dynasty lived in a cottage. It faces the river on three sides. The mountain is very majestic, with clear mountains and clear waters, and wonderful scenery. It is close to the river and the mountains are hazy with smoke, making it difficult for people to see its true appearance. Su Shi wrote "Inscribed on the Wall of the West Forest": "Looking at it from the side, it looks like a ridge or a peak, with different heights from near to far. I don't know the true face of Mount Lu, just because I am in this mountain."
3. No blockage, no flow, no stop. no. ——Han Yu
Translation: It means that if Buddhism and Taoism are not blocked, Confucianism cannot be implemented.
Appreciation: It is a metaphor that only by destroying old and wrong things can we build new and correct things. Divergent explanation: If there is no blockage, there will be no flow. For example, in the case of rivers and lakes, lakes accumulate river water during the peak season of the river, which is a "blockage" and can prevent the turbulence of the river. However, in the off-season of the river, lakes replenish the river water. "Flow", so that the river will not dry up and stop flowing, and can flow for a longer period of time.
