There is a towering tower at the top of Feilai Peak. It is said that crows come and the morning sun rises. As written in a China poem, we are not afraid of dark clouds covering our sight, because we are already on the top of the mountain.

This poem was written in the second year of Song Renzong (1050), when Wang Anshi was thirty years old and promising. At that time, he had been transferred from Yinxian county magistrate to General Zhou Shu to serve his sentence. This poem reflects the dauntless and enterprising spirit of the poet to realize his political ambition. In the first sentence of the poem, the poet used the exaggerated word "Chihiro" to write the height of the ancient pagoda on the peak and write his own foothold.
The second sentence of the poem skillfully writes out the brilliant scene of the rising sun seen on the tower, showing the poet's vigor, ambition of reform and confidence in the future, and becomes the emotional tone of the whole poem. The last two sentences of the poem follow the first two sentences to describe the scenery and express emotions, so that the poem has vivid images and profound philosophy.
The ancients often worried about clouds covering the sun, evil ministers covering the wise, and poets added the word "fearless". It shows the poet's courage and determination to be far-sighted in politics and not afraid of evil.
The first two sentences are the essence of the whole poem, which contains profound philosophy: people should not only look at the immediate interests, but also look at the overall situation and the long term. In writing techniques, the first sentence is about the terrain of Feilai Peak, and there is a Chihiro Tower on the peak, which shows its height. This sentence is extremely written about the high risk of boarding. The purpose of writing sentences is extremely far away.
As the saying goes, "The Story of the Xuanzhong" says: "There is a big tree in Du Taoshan, named Du Tao, with branches three thousand miles apart. There is a pheasant in the sky. At the beginning of the day, the tree shines, the pheasant crows, and the chickens in the world follow. " According to this test, the word "I heard that the rooster crows and the sun rises" is not only popular in Wanli, but also famous and powerful. Although it is a foreshadowing, it cannot be taken lightly.
And the author is practical and ingenious. For example, the allusion "The sun shines on this tree and the cock crows at dawn" originally meant "The day after tomorrow", but Wang Anshi did not say "When you hear the cock crow at sunrise, you say" When you hear the cock crow at sunrise ",which means" The cock crows first, then the sun rises ". Poets are often subtle in their use of things, and they cannot aim at impartiality, or they make mistakes in their use of things for fear of having another meaning.
The word "not afraid" in the third sentence is stern and powerful. "Clouds cover your eyes" has an allusion. According to Professor Wu Xiaoru's research, people often compared floating clouds to evil villains in the Western Han Dynasty, such as the Shen Xinyu Wei film: "Therefore, evil ministers cover sages as floating clouds cover the sun." That's what the king's judgment means.
He also has a seven-metrical poem "Reading History", in which a couplet says: "At that time, darkness was still a mistake, and the customs at the end were even more chaotic." If you want to achieve great things, the most terrible thing is to "cover your eyes with clouds" and "confuse the truth with vulgarity", and the new law that Wang Anshi subsequently implemented was precisely defeated by this. The poet's good intentions are shown in this poem.
The fourth sentence uses "on the floor" to enhance the poetic realm, which has a far-sighted spirit. The author's finishing touch is the conclusion. As far as the situation is concerned, the word order should be "because I am in the layer, I am not afraid of clouds covering my eyes", but the author is the other way around, saying the result first and then the reason; The inversion of one cause and one effect shows the transformation of poetic vision. Although this is a common method of writing poetry, it also shows the author's profound conception.
