Vernacular translation
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.
See the sea
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.

product analysis
The first four lines describe the scene of the sea, which is dynamic and quiet. For example, "autumn wind is bleak and the waves are rough" and "what is the water like" describe dynamic scenery, while "trees are full of vegetation" and "mountains and islands are full of scenery" describe static scenery.
"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. It shows that in the face of bleak autumn wind, the author still has an "ambitious" mind.
"The trip to the sun and the moon, if unexpected; Xinghan is brilliant, if it is unexpected. " Using the author's imagination, I wrote the great ambition of the author Cao Cao. The previous description highlights the momentum and strength of the sea in front of readers; In the rich association, the author's broad mind, open mind and grand ambition are displayed.
It means a mentality of taking the world into your own hands, just like the sea holds everything. "Fortunately, Lian, the song is to be sung." This is a cliche in the chorus, which has nothing to do with the content of the poem. It is also pointed out that it was sung by Yuefu.
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.

In the first year of Jian 'an (196), he welcomed Emperor Xu (present-day Henan), took the emperor as a vassal, and successively put down the separatist forces such as Lu Bu. After the battle of Guandu defeated warlord Yuan Shao, the northern part of China was gradually unified.
In the 13th year of Jian 'an (208), he became prime minister and led the army south. He was defeated by Sun Quan and Liu Bei in Chibi. Wang Wei was later blocked. His son Cao Pi proclaimed himself emperor and made him Emperor Wu. For the deeds, see Volume 1 of the History of the Three Kingdoms. There are 30 volumes that have been lost.
