Poetry: "Looking at the Sea" Han Dynasty: Cao Cao
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.
A trip to the sun and the moon, if unexpected; Han is a talented star, if you take him by surprise. I am glad to use this poem to express my inner desire.
Translation:
The poet climbed to the top of Jieshi Mountain, overlooking the sea, with rough waves, towering islands and panoramic views of the sea.
Although the autumn wind is bleak, the vegetation is withered and the waves are rough, the island is lush with trees and rich in herbs, giving people a poetic feeling. I am very happy, so I use this poem to express my inner ambition.
Extended data background:
Looking at the sea gives the poet deep feelings, through which we can see the poet's own soul. Cao Cao climbed Jieshi Mountain on his way back to Wuhuan Northern Expedition. As a commander-in-chief, Cao Cao climbed the Jieshi, and Qin Huang and Wu Han also climbed the Jieshi, feeling as uneasy as the sea. He integrated his grand ambition and broad mind into his poems and expressed it through the image of the sea.
Appreciate:
Through the vivid description of the rough sea, the poet expressed his great ambition and grand mind to forge ahead and unify the whole country. As a poet, politician and strategist, Cao Cao's thoughts and feelings flow in a typical environment. The whole poem is simple in language, rich in imagination, magnificent, desolate and tragic, which has been greatly appreciated by readers of all ages.
