Once upon a time, it was difficult to find water in the sea, except for Wushan, which means people who have experienced the incomparably deep and wide sea, it is difficult for the water to attract them; except for the steaming clouds of Wushan, the clouds elsewhere are eclipsed.
Poetry Appreciation:
“Once upon a time, the sea was difficult to deal with, except for Wushan, it was not clouds.” On the surface, it means that after seeing the “Canghai Sea” and “Wushan Clouds”, the water and clouds in other places It is difficult for the poet to see it. In fact, it is a metaphor that the relationship between them is like the water of the sea and the clouds of Wushan. Its depth, breadth and beauty are unparalleled in the world - except for his beloved wife, there is nothing that can move the poet's heart. A woman.
The poet expressed his unswerving feelings for his beloved wife through the beautiful scenes of "Canghai Sea" and "Wushan Clouds", and expressed the beautiful feelings of the couple in the past.
"There was a time when the sea was not water, but it was not clouds except Wushan." The artistic conception is profound, the meaning is rich, the emotion is fiery but implicit, and it has become a couplet that people like to borrow. Later, it was not only used to express the deep and steadfast love. Yonggu is often used to describe people with rich experience and extremely high vision. This poem also objectively further enhances people's understanding of the water of the sea and the clouds of Wushan.
"It's difficult to be water" and "It's not clouds" are also love words. Although this is Yuan Zhen's preference for his wife, there are indeed very few husband-wife relationships like theirs.

Yuan Zhen (779-831), also known as Wei Zhi and Wei Ming, was a native of Luoyang, Henan (now part of Henan). Minister and writer of the Tang Dynasty. A descendant of the Xianbei Tuoba tribe of the Northern Wei Dynasty clan, and the fourteenth (some say fifteenth) generation grandson of Tuoba Shi Yijian, Emperor Zhaocheng of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

He entered the Hezhong shogunate, was promoted to be a scholar, and moved to supervise the censor. He once worshiped the prime minister, and under Li Fengji's planning, he was appointed governor of Tongzhou and became minister Youcheng. In the fourth year of Taihe (830), he served as the military governor of Wuchang. He died in the fifth year of Taihe (831) at the age of fifty-three, and was given posthumously to Minister Youpushe.
Yuan Zhen and Bai Juyi passed the same subject and became lifelong poetry friends. They jointly advocated the New Yuefu Movement and created the "Yuanhe Style", known as "Yuan Bai" in the world. His creation of Yuefu poems was influenced by Zhang Ji and Wang Jian, and his "new title of Yuefu" was directly attributed to Li Shen. There are more than 830 existing poems, including the "Yuanshi Changqing Collection" handed down from generation to generation, which contains more than 100 volumes of poems, edicts, inscriptions, and discussions.
