Creation background
Su Shi moved from Huangzhou (now Huanggang, Hubei) to Ruzhou (now Linru, Henan) in the seventh year of Zongshen Yuanfeng (1084). When I went to Ruzhou, I passed through Jiujiang and visited Lushan Mountain with my friends. The magnificent landscape triggered a vigorous and magnificent idea, so I wrote several poems about Lushan Mountain. The title Xilin Wall is a summary after visiting Lushan Mountain. According to the chronology of Mr. Dongpo, who stayed behind in the Southern Song Dynasty, we can know that this poem was written in May of the seventh year of Yuanfeng.
works appreciation
The meaning of this poem is very profound, but the language used is extremely simple. Simplicity is one of Su Shi's linguistic features. Su Shi has no habit of carving when writing poems. What the poet pursues is to express a fresh and unprecedented artistic conception in simple and fluent language; And this artistic conception, from time to time flashing the light of philosophy.
Judging from this poem, the language expression is concise, but the connotation is rich. In other words, poetic language itself is a high degree of unity of image and logic.
In four poems, the poet roughly describes the image characteristics of Lushan Mountain, and accurately points out the reasons why it is irrelevant to see the mountain. Bright sensibility and clear rationality are intertwined and mutually causal, so the image of poetry is sublimated into a model in the field of rationality, which is why people regard the last two sentences as philosophical epigrams for thousands of times.
