Explanation:

Notes on the title or background of a book.

In the 24th year of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty (736), 25-year-old Du Fu went to Chang 'an to take the tribute examination, and failed the examination. So I wandered around Qi and Zhao (now Henan, Hebei, Shandong and other places), and Wang Yue was written about this year. Yue: The height of the mountain is called Yue, which means Mount Tai, that is, Dongyue, in the north of Tai 'an City, Shandong Province. Young Du Fu enthusiastically praised the majestic atmosphere of Mount Tai with this poem, and at the same time showed his lofty aspirations.

Mount Tai is famous for its profound cultural connotation. Literati and writers of all ages came here to visit and left many poems. But since Du Fu's poem "Looking at Yue" came out, when it comes to Mount Tai, people often think of this masterpiece first. Today, there are four stone carvings of the poem "Looking at Yue" on Mount Tai, and many people collect its poems, which shows the popularity of this poem.

Du Fu wrote three "Looking at Yue" in his life. Although the topic is the same, the description object, background, theme, genre and style are different. Three poems written by Du Fu at the age of twenty-five, forty-seven and fifty-eight. Reading them together, we can get a glimpse of Du Fu's different experiences and mental processes in his youth, middle age and twilight years. Wang Yue, a poem about Mount Tai, represents Du Fu's radiant and enterprising life in his youth. Looking at the Moon, written by Yong Huashan, represents Du Fu's middle-aged frustrated and restless life. Yong Hengshan's Wang Yue can represent Du Fu's life in his later years.

Sentence solution

What a magnificent scenery Mount Tai is! Out of Qilu, green peaks can still be seen.

What's Mount Tai like? Walking on the land of Qilu, I saw a lush green. "Dai", another name of Mount Tai, is said to be the first of the five mountains, and all the mountains belong to it, so it is called Dai Zong. Qilu, originally two country names in the Spring and Autumn Period, is located in today's Shandong Province. Qi is in the north of Mount Tai, and Lu is in the south of Mount Tai. Later, "Qilu" was used as the name of this area. Because it is a vision, the poet can't see too many details, only a piece of green and green, and can't see the edge, so he says "unfinished". It vividly shows the endless image of Mount Tai, and at the same time it has endless implications.

The first two sentences are mentioned in the form of questions, which not only contains the long-simmering vision, but also writes the heroic spirit of Taishan being pulled out of Qilu, which can be described as lofty. In the Qing Dynasty, Shen Deqian's Collection of Tang Poems commented on these last five words, saying that "Mount Tai is exhausted", while Shi Buhua's On Servants said that these five words "cover thousands of miles, which is magnificent".

The magical nature brings together thousands of beautiful mountains in the south and the separation between morning and dusk in the north.

Nature seems to have a soft spot for Mount Tai, focusing its magic and beauty on it. High peaks divide the north and south of Mount Tai into a bright side and a dark side, just like dusk on one side and Chen Chong on the other. "Clock" means gathering or concentration. "Yin and Yang", the sun is cloudy in the north and sunny in the south. The word "cut" is used here to properly describe the high and steep adventure of Mount Tai. Detailed Notes on Du Fu's Poems in the autumn of Qing Dynasty said, "What about Dai Zong? What he thinks in his mind is from Qi to Lu, and his youth is not finished. His lofty words have risen from the ground, and his beauty is particularly bell-shaped. He was shocked by this sentence, and his second language is strange. " These two poems have embodied the characteristics of Du Fu's meticulous creation and refined words, as well as his unspeakable oath.

Caiyun lave? My mind is free and easy, and birds fly around in front of my nervous eyes ..

Looking closely at Mount Tai, the clouds in the mountain sprout and cascade, which makes people feel ups and downs. The poet opened his eyes wide, tried his best to stretch his eyesight and watched the homing birds fly into the mountains. Liu Xie said, "Climbing a mountain is affectionate, and watching the sea is affectionate". The poet witnessed the magnificence of Mount Tai and was deeply moved. The former sentence shows the poet's mind, and the latter sentence shows the breadth of vision. "The corner of my eye", a cracked corner of my eye, describes my distant vision. The poet did this because the mountain is high and the bird is small, and he can see far. Or is the poet's heart flying with the birds? In the description of the scenery, these two sentences have the poet's endless meaning and longing.

Try to climb to the top of the mountain: it dwarfs all the peaks under our feet.

From mountain watching to climbing. From admiring his name for a long time, to looking far and near, and then to climbing mountains, although there is no word "looking" in the whole poem, it is obvious that the poet not only looks with his eyes, but also looks with his heart. He imagined that one day, he would surely climb the top of Mount Tai and look around. The mountain under his feet is so small! Mencius said with all his heart that "Confucius climbed the East Mountain and was small, and climbed Mount Tai and was smaller than the world", and Du Fu was probably in such a state of mind at this time. The conclusion not only makes the whole poem full of meaning, but also can be regarded as Du Fu's self-expectation, which shows the ambition and spirit of a young poet.

Comments and explanations

This is a five-character ancient poem, which looks like five rhymes. Although the whole poem is composed of five words, eight sentences and forty words, with two antithetical sentences in the middle, the flat lines in the sentences are not arranged in the prescribed order, and there is no bond between the sentences, so all the poems in the past dynasties are classified as "five-character ancient poems". The structure of this poem is well analyzed in Volume I of Qiu's Detailed Notes on Du Fu's Poems in Qing Dynasty: "Poetry is freehand in four layers. The first couplet is far away, the second couplet is close, the third couplet is fine, and the last couplet is very hopeful. The first six are true and the second is false. "

Although this poem is about Mount Tai, it is also the author's idea of actively using the world by praising the majesty of Mount Tai, writing his own mind. Although there is no success at present, the author is confident that he will eventually achieve something and reach the top. The style of the whole poem is vigorous, clean and bold, and it is worthy of being a poem of people with lofty ideals. Therefore, the Tang and Song poetry volume comments: "Forty words momentum." Mo Ruzhong's poem "Wang Yuelou in Dengdong County" in the Ming Dynasty lamented: "Qilu is not yet a teenager. Who will inherit Ling Du in the poem? "
