Floating clouds: a metaphor for disloyal villains. A new theory of Lu Jia in Han Dynasty: "Evil ministers cover the wise, but they still cover the clouds." Tang Li Bai's "On the Phoenix Terrace in Nanjing": "A cloud rises between the light in the sky and me, hiding his city in my melancholy heart."

There is a towering tower at the top of Feilai Peak.
It is said that the rooster can see the rising sun when it crows.
Not afraid of dark clouds covering my farsightedness,
Just because I stand on the top of Feilai Peak, I am broad-minded.

In the first sentence of this song, the poet used the exaggerated word "Chihiro" to write the height of the ancient pagoda on the peak and 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. These two sentences are the essence of the whole poem and contain 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, write the terrain of Feilaifeng in one sentence. The top of the mountain is in front of Lingyin Temple in West Lake, Hangzhou. There is a Chihiro Tower on the top of the mountain, 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 that "the sun shines on this tree in Chu Yang, and the cock crows" originally meant "the sunrise comes first, and the cock crows the day after tomorrow", but Wang Anshi did not say "when he heard the cock crow, he said" the cock crows first, and 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.
Turning the word "not afraid" into harsh language is overwhelming. "Clouds cover your eyes" has an allusion. According to Professor Wu Xiaoru's research, people in the Western Han Dynasty often compared floating clouds to evil villains, 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 confusing." 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 conclusion of the sentence uses "at the highest level" to enhance the realm of poetry, which has a far-sighted spirit. Turn, knot two sentences, wonderful love words, is also a famous sentence through the ages; The author's finishing touch is the conclusion. As far as the situation is concerned, the word order should be "because I am at the highest level, I am not afraid of clouds and fog", 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.
This poem is different from ordinary climbing poems. This poem doesn't write much about the scene in front of us, only about the height of the tower. The key point is to write about the feeling of climbing high, which embodies the concept of "standing high can only see far" This is similar to Wang Zhihuan's poem, "But when you walk up a flight of stairs, you broaden your horizons by 300 miles". The former shows the ideological realm and heroism of a political reformer, while the latter shows that to achieve better results, more efforts need to be made to encourage each other or encourage themselves.
"I am not afraid of clouds covering my eyes, but I am afraid of the highest realm." With Su Shi, "I don't know the true face of Lushan Mountain, but toward which corner of the mountain." In the same strain, the expression is very similar. In terms of affirmation, Wang's poems are metaphorical: "If you master the method of correct views and reach a certain level of understanding, you can see the essence through phenomena and you will not be confused by the illusion of things." Su Shi, on the other hand, is negative. He said, "People are confused by the illusion of things because they don't observe things comprehensively, objectively and correctly." Both of them are very philosophical and often used as mottoes.
