The introduction to Du Fu's ancient poem "Looking at the Mountains" is as follows:
"Looking at the Mountains"
Author: Du Fu
How is Dai Zongfu? Qilu is still young.
The clock of creation is beautiful, and the yin and yang cut off the dawn.
The clouds grow in the chest, and the returning birds enter the canthus.
You will be at the top of the mountain, and you will have a panoramic view of the mountains.
Creative background:
This poem is Du Fu's early work, written approximately after the 24th year of Kaiyuan (736) by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. At this time, the poet was "dissolute between Qi and Zhao, and his horses were quite wild". When he traveled to Shandong, he was attracted by the magnificent scenery of Mount Tai and wrote the poem "Looking at the Mountains".
Content explanation:
What is Mount Tai like, the first of the five mountains? (I can’t describe the feelings of exclamation and admiration that I can’t describe when I first see Mount Tai)
In ancient times, the green green of Mount Tai could still be seen outside the borders of the two countries of Qi and Lu in ancient times. (Use the distance to highlight the height of Mount Tai) Nature concentrates its magic and beauty on Mount Tai (write about the magical beauty of Mount Tai). The north and south sides of the mountain are completely different, one bright and the other dark. (Writing about the height of Mount Tai) The clouds in the mountain are endless, so my heart is also rippling; because I stared at them for a long time, I feel as if my eye sockets are bursting. I must climb to the top of Mount Tai and overlook the mountains. They will all become so small.
Appreciation and evaluation:
The poem vividly depicts the majestic momentum of this famous mountain with full enthusiasm, expressing the author's pride and lofty ambitions in his youth.
Six sentences describe the scenery of Mount Tai.
The opening sentence "How is Dai Zongfu?" leads the rest of the story with a question. The two lines of "Qilu Qilu are still young" ask and answer questions, vividly expressing the stretching and tallness of Mount Tai. The word "green" refers to the green color of the mountain, and "end" refers to the vastness of the mountain location, with the green color stretching as far as the eye can see. This is a distant view.
The third and fourth sentences are the trend of looking closer. "The clock of creation is beautiful" means that Mount Tai is extremely beautiful, as if nature has gathered all the magical beauty here, and the word "bell" is vivid and powerful. "Yin and Yang cut off the dusk", highlighting the towering height of Mount Tai, which is so high that it divides the south and north of the mountain into two worlds of light and darkness. The word "cut" has an appropriate image, giving vitality to the towering mountain.
Sentences 5 and 6 are close-up views, turning from stillness. "Stratus clouds arise in the chest" describes the clouds and mist lingering on the mountainside, which washes away the mind and rises into the clouds. "Stratus clouds" are used to set off the height of the mountain. "Jue Canthus Returning Bird" refers to staring at the birds flying back to the mountain forest one after another with wide eyes, showing the depth of the mountain. The word "enter" is used in a subtle and expressive way, as if birds are slowly coming from a distance and then slowly leaving, which shows how far-reaching the mountain is.
The imaginary feeling of climbing in the last two sentences is still "looking", not "climbing". It is the author's desire to climb from looking at the scenery. The word "Ling" in "Hui Dang Ling Jueding" expresses the author's determination and heroic ambition to ascend. "Seeing all the small mountains at a glance" describes the scene in the poet's imagination when he reaches the top and looks around. Other mountains appear small in front of Mount Tai, which sets off the tallness of Mount Tai.
The title of this poem is "Looking at the Mountains". The whole poem closely focuses on the word "look" to describe the scene, and the word "high" is highlighted everywhere in the description of the scene. This renders the myriad scenery and majestic majesty of Mount Tai so detailed that it makes people feel as if they are personally there. Therefore, the poem "Wang Yue" has become the best description of Mount Tai in the past dynasties and has been praised by people.
