Appreciate:
This is a landscape poem with pictures and scenery, and it is also a philosophical poem, which contains philosophy in the description of Lushan scenery.
"Looking at the mountain side into a peak, the distance is different." There is a saying that tourists can get different impressions by observing the face of Lushan Mountain from different angles, such as far, near, high and low. Sometimes you see rolling mountains, and sometimes you see towering peaks. 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.
