See the boundless ocean
Author Cao Cao? The Han Dynasty
On the east coast, climb Jieshi Mountain to see the vast sea.
The sea is so vast that the islands stand high on the sea.
Trees and paraquat are very lush. Autumn wind makes trees make sad sounds, and the sea is surging.
The movement of the sun and the moon seems to come from the vast ocean.
Journey to the sun and the moon, if you go out.
Han is a talented star, if you take him by surprise.
I am glad to use this poem to express my inner desire.

Go east, climb Jieshi Mountain and enjoy the boundless sea.
How vast the sea is, and the mountain island stands high on the seaside.
Trees and herbs flourish.
The autumn wind blows the trees and makes a sad sound, and the sea is rough.
The movement of the sun and the moon seems to emanate from this vast ocean.
The Milky Way galaxy is full of stars, as if they were born from this vast ocean.
I am very happy, so I use this poem to express my inner ambition.

Creation background
Wuhuan was a great disaster in Northeast China at that time. In the 11th year of Jian 'an (2006), Wu Huan invaded Youzhou and captured more than 100,000 Han people. In the same year, Yuan Shang and Yuan, the sons of Yuan Shao, colluded with Ta Dun, the leader of Wuhuan in western Liaoning, and repeatedly harassed the border, so that Cao Cao had to resolutely decide to conquer Wuhuan in the 12th year of Jian 'an (207). Later, under the guidance of Tian Chou, he used tricks. Cao Cao finally won a decisive victory in the great war in August this year. This victory consolidated Cao Cao's rear areas and laid the foundation for the next year's conquest of the south, with a view to realizing the grand aspiration of reunifying China. "Looking at the Sea" is about the time when Wu Huan, who won the Northern Expedition, crossed Jieshi Mountain and returned to Li.
works appreciation
This poem was written by Cao Cao when he climbed Jieshi Mountain on his way to the victory class in Wuhuan. The poet used the magnificent scenery of the sea to express his ambition and broad mind. Judging from the genre of poetry, this is an ancient poem; From the way of expression, this is a four-character landscape poem.
The words "Jieshi is in the east, looking at the sea" point out the positioning of "looking at the sea": the poet climbed to the top of Jieshi, with a broad vision and a panoramic view of the sea. The following ten descriptions are almost all derived from this. The word "Guan" plays a leading role in the whole article, which embodies the characteristics of this poem's open artistic conception and vigorous momentum.
"What is water, mountain island. Trees and paraquat are very lush. Autumn wind makes trees make sad sounds, and the sea is surging. The autumn wind is bleak and the waves are surging "is a real landscape, magical and spectacular." "The water is full of water, and the mountain island is covered with scenery" is the general impression of seeing the sea at the beginning, which is a bit like the outline of a painting. In this rippling sea, the first thing you see is the towering mountain islands, which are dotted on the flat and wide sea, making the sea look magical and spectacular. These two sentences roughly outline the prospect of the sea, which will be described in depth at different levels below.
"There are many trees and plenty of herbs. The autumn wind is bleak, and Hongbo surges. " The first two sentences specifically describe the mountain island: although the autumn wind is bleak and the vegetation is withered, the trees on the island are lush and the grass is flourishing, giving people a poetic feeling. The last two sentences are a further description of the sentence "What is water like?". Look carefully, the sea in the bleak autumn wind is actually a huge wave, surging and undulating. Facing the bleak autumn wind, the author has an "ambitious" heart.
Although it is a typical autumn environment, there is no bleak and desolate sadness in autumn. Facing the bleak autumn wind, the author wrote the vastness and magnificence of the sea: in the bleak autumn wind, the sea is rough and meets the sky; The mountain island is tall and straight, with lush vegetation and no fading and sentimental artistic conception. This new realm and new style just reflect his "martyr" mind.
"The trip to the sun and the moon, if unexpected; If the stars are bright, if they come out from the inside, it is empty writing. The author wrote his lofty feelings with imagination. The previous description highlights the momentum and strength of the sea in front of readers; It shows the author's broad mind, open mind and grand ambition in rich associations, implying a mind that holds the world in its own hands like the sea holds everything. " Fortunately, even if it is, the song is to be sung. "This is the rhetoric in the chorus, which has nothing to do with the content of the poem, and it also means that it is sung by Yuefu.
This poem is full of scenery, in which there is no direct expression of feelings, but reading the whole poem can still make people feel the feelings deeply entrusted by the poet. Through the poet's vivid description of the rough sea, readers seem to see Cao Cao's great ambition and grand mind of forging ahead and unifying the world, and touch the flow of thoughts and feelings in his typical environment as a poet, politician and strategist.
The landscape part accurately and vividly depicts the image of the ocean, simple and full, rich but not trivial, like a thick charcoal pen. What is particularly commendable is that this poem not only reflects the image of the ocean, but also gives it character. Every sentence is a scene, and every sentence is lyric. It shows the sea and the poet himself.
The poet is not satisfied with imitating the shape of the ocean, but tries to express the gestation and turbulent character of the ocean through images. The lifeless sea has a personality in the poet's works. Only in this way can we reflect the face of the sea more truly and profoundly.
This poem not only describes the scenery, but also expresses feelings through the scenery, skillfully integrating the seascape in front of him with his own ambition. The climax of this poem is at the end. Its feelings are unrestrained, but its thoughts are subtle. Not only did the scene blend, but also the combination of reason and emotion. Because it is implicit, it is more enlightening, more stimulating to our imagination and more intriguing.
In the past, people praised Cao Cao's poems as deep, full and powerful, which can be confirmed from here. The tone of the whole poem is desolate and generous, and it is also a masterpiece of Jian 'an's character. The whole poem is concise in language, rich in imagination, magnificent, desolate and tragic.
