Looking at Lushan Mountain from the front and side of peaks and valleys, from far, near, high and low places, Lushan Mountain presents various faces.
I can't recognize the true face of Lushan Mountain because I am there.

This poem describes the changing face of Lushan Mountain, and points out that the observation problem should be objective and comprehensive, and if it is subjective and one-sided, it will not reach a correct conclusion.
The first two sentences, "Looking at the mountain from the side is the peak, and the distance is different", are actually what you saw and heard when you visited the mountain. Lushan Mountain is a hilly and gully mountain with undulating peaks and valleys. Tourists are located in different places and see different scenery. These two sentences summarize and vividly write the various forms of Lushan Mountain.
At the end of the sentence, "I don't know the true face of Lushan Mountain, but I am only in this mountain" is the on-site reasoning and talking about the experience of traveling to the mountain. The reason why we can't recognize the true face of Lushan Mountain is because we are in the middle of Lushan Mountain and our vision is limited by the peaks and valleys of Lushan Mountain. What we see is only one peak, one ridge, one hill and one valley, which is only partial and inevitably one-sided. These two sentences are wonderful, and the whole artistic conception is fully displayed, which provides readers with a space to recall experiences and gallop their imagination. It's not just a tour to have this rational understanding. This is what you see when you visit the mountains, and it is often the same when you observe things in the world. These two poems are rich in connotation and enlighten people to understand a philosophy of being human-because people are in different positions and have different starting points, their understanding of objective things is inevitably one-sided; To understand the truth and the whole picture, we must go beyond the narrow scope and get rid of subjective prejudice.
Different people have different opinions. A small poem arouses people's infinite aftertaste and deep thought. Therefore, "Tixilinbi" is not only a poet's eulogy of the wonders of Lushan Mountain, but also a philosopher's insight into the true face of Lushan Mountain. Because this understanding is profound and conforms to the objective laws, there is a profound philosophy that inspires people's hearts in addition to the absurd image of Gu Feng. Therefore, this little poem is particularly subtle and profound, which makes people never tire of reading it.
The meaning of this poem is very profound, but the language used is extremely simple. Simplicity is one of Su Shi's linguistic features. Su Shi has no habit of carving when writing poems. What the poet pursues is to express a fresh and unprecedented artistic conception in simple and fluent language; And this artistic conception, from time to time flashing the light of philosophy. Judging from this poem, the language expression is concise, but the connotation is rich. In other words, poetic language itself is a high degree of unity of image and logic. In four poems, the poet roughly describes the image characteristics of Lushan Mountain, and accurately points out the reasons why it is irrelevant to see the mountain. Distinctive sensibility and clear rationality interweave and cause each other, so the image of poetry is sublimated into a model in the field of rationality, which is why people regard the last two sentences as philosophical epigrams for thousands of times.
If the poetic tradition before the Song Dynasty was characterized by expressing ambition and expressing emotion, then in the Song Dynasty, especially Su Shi, a new poetic style characterized by reasoning appeared. This poetic style is a new poetic style created by Song people after Tang poetry. In Su Shi's words, it means "creating new ideas in statutes and leaving wonderful ideas outside the bold". The characteristics of this kind of poems are: shallow language and deep meaning, reasonable things and light taste. The title Xilin wall is such a good poem.
