Lushan misty rain
Su Shi
Lushan Mountain is misty, rainy and tidal, so don't hate it.
Don't be idle when you get there. Lushan mountain is misty and rainy, and Zhejiang tide.
The misty rain in Lushan Mountain and the tide in Qiantang River are all worth seeing. If you don't have a chance to feast your eyes, you will regret it for the rest of your life. I finally saw the scenery of Lushan and Zhejiang with my own eyes, only to find that there were so many impulses in the past. I only think that Lushan misty rain is Lushan misty rain and Zhejiang tidal water is Zhejiang tidal water.
This poem was inculcated by his son as an experienced person. He didn't want his son to go his own way, so he took Lushan Mountain as a metaphor to educate his son not to be obsessed with official names. This is an old father's earnest instruction to his son, which is touching.
Art appreciation:
In his poems, he doesn't mention his official experience, but refers to the misty rain and Zhejiang tide in Lushan Mountain, which is both Zen and aesthetic. In his view, the misty rain in Lushan Mountain and the Qiantang spring tide in Zhejiang Province are all rare beauty in the world. Like many people, he is full of yearning for it. If he can't watch it in person, it will be a lifelong regret.
Judging from the meaning of the poem, we can see that the poet has been fascinated by the scenery of Lushan Mountain and the tides of Qiantang River for a long time and often dreams about it. It seems that you can't experience Lushan Mountain, but you can also enjoy the wonders of misty rain. If we can't witness the tide of Qiantang River, we can see that it is Ma Benteng, and it will shake the mountains. I really failed this life and it's hard to let it go.
