[Appreciation]:
"Looking at Dongting" was written in the autumn of the fourth year of Changqing (AD 824). Liu Yuxi was demoted to the Southern Wilderness. He came to Dongting in the past twenty years. There are about six references available. On one of these occasions, Liu Yuxi passed by Dongting Lake when he was transferred to Hezhou. He looked at the scenery of Dongting Lake and wrote this poem.
The poem starts from the word "look". "The water and the moon blend together" and "the lake is as flat as a mirror" are what you can see from a close distance; "Dongting landscape" and "like a green snail" are what you can see from a distance. Although they are both depicting visionary scenes, the differences are obvious. The close-up view is wonderful and unique; the distant view is confusing and wonderful. The surface of the pool is like a mirror, the lake water is like a plate, and the mountains are like snails. The silver plate and the green snail complement each other, and the bright moon and the lake light complement each other, making the scene more compatible and complementing each other. The Junshan described by the poet is like an exquisite emerald inlaid on the mirror of Dongting Lake, which is so beautiful. The wording is also very precise.
The first sentence describes how the clear and clear lake water and the blue light of the moon complement each other, just like a jade mirror in Qiongtian, which is an ethereal, ethereal, quiet and harmonious realm. It shows the harmonious picture of the sky and water being the same color and the jade characters being dust-free. The word "harmony" is carefully used to express the harmonious painting scene of water and sky, and jade and Yuyu without dust. Moreover, it seems to convey to readers the rhythm of a watery night—the ripples of moonlight and the rhythm of lake water.
The second sentence describes that there is no wind on the lake, and the misty lake surface is like an unpolished bronze mirror. The three words "mirror is not polished" very vividly express the calm, peaceful and gentle scene of thousands of miles of Dongting, which has a unique hazy beauty under the moonlight. Because only when there is "no wind on the surface of the pool" and the waves are calm, can the light of the lake and the autumn moon be harmonious. Otherwise, the wind will roar on the lake surface, the turbid waves will empty, the lake light and the autumn moon will not be able to shine, and there will be no "harmony of the two phases" to speak of.
In the third and fourth sentences, the poet's sight is focused from the overall picture of the vast lake and moonlight to Junshan. Under the bright moonlight, the Dongting Mountain becomes more verdant, the Dongting water becomes clearer, and the mountains and rivers are integrated into one. It looks like a small and exquisite green snail placed in a carved silver plate, which is very endearing. . The Dongting landscape in the autumn moon described by the poet has turned into an exquisite arts and crafts treasure, giving people great artistic enjoyment. "A green snail on a silver plate" is such an incredible phrase. The excellence of this sentence is not only reflected in the elegance of the metaphor, but also in the poet's majestic and extraordinary magnanimity and the poet's noble and unique sentiments. In the eyes of the poet, the Dongting of thousands of miles away is nothing more than a mirror in the dressing room and cups and plates on the table. It is very rare to lift a heavy weight and feel it is light, to sit together naturally and without any pretentiousness. To express the relationship between man and nature in such a friendly way and to describe the scenery of lakes and mountains in such a vast and pure way is a reflection of the poet's character, sentiment and aesthetic taste. There is no spirit of thinking about the eight extremes, and the spirit of muster seeds, and there is no embrace of Nirvana, which is full of romantic whims and splendor.
