Don Wang Zhihuan
The mountains covered the white sun,
The ocean drained the golden river.
But you expanded your horizons by 300 miles,
Walk up a flight of stairs.
Note: this poem not only depicts the magnificent mountains and rivers of the motherland, but also writes the mind of climbing high and looking far. Looking to the west, the setting sun sets off the mountains, and the Yellow River rolls towards the sea. If you want to see thousands of miles away, you have to climb the tall building again. The last two sentences express the philosophy of life that "you can only see far if you stand high" and become immortal.
Wang Zhihuan (698-742), Zi Ziling, was a poet in the Tang Dynasty. In the prosperous Tang Dynasty, there were a group of poets who were good at describing the scenery and life beyond the Great Wall, and they were called "Frontier Poetry School". Wang Zhihuan is one of them.
(1) Stork Tower-The former site is a dirt mountain of the West Yellow River in Yongji County, Shanxi Province. It has three floors and was a tourist attraction in the Tang Dynasty. After the Song Dynasty, the heaped-up mountains were washed away by the river.
(2) According to the mountain-slowly approaching the mountain.
(3) Want to be poor-want to run out, which means assuming.
(4) thousands of miles-you can see the distant prospect.
(5) More-again, continue.
The poet climbed the mirage and looked at the mountains and rivers far and near.
The railing faces west. A round of daytime towel is near the mountain ridge, slowly falling, falling, and finally hiding behind the western hills; The Yellow River is flowing under your feet, the waves are rolling, and it is trembling away, far away, and rushing to the embrace of the sea. What a magnificent scenery, what a magnificent nature!
But the poet knows that nature is too big, and his vision is still very narrow. If he wants to further broaden his horizons and see a farther and more spectacular world, he needs to climb to a higher place. And myself, I haven't even reached the top of this three-story stork!
"Going up a storey still further broadens our horizons by 300 Li", which is the poet's concrete feeling in the process of climbing the building, but it gives us much more profound enlightenment. The higher you stand, the farther you look, and so is life. Only by constantly climbing, constantly making progress, and constantly demanding ourselves with higher standards can we reach a higher and higher realm in our thoughts and achieve higher and higher achievements in our careers. Life is like climbing stairs. Isn't this an educational philosophy of life?
This is the first two sentences of a five-line poem (five-word quatrain), which contains feelings; The last two sentences are lyrical, and you can see reason in your feelings. Just 20 words, beautiful, affectionate and reasonable, combined so naturally and perfectly, can really be said to be "perfect" in art.

Where were those lost times before me? Behind me, where are the future generations? Two. Only the boundless universe, boundless, can't stop the tears full of sadness.

1. According to Lu Zangyong's Biography of Chen Family, this poem was written after "seven ancient poems for Lu Jushi", "I sang this poem with tears in my eyes". Youzhoutai is Qiu Ji, which was the old capital of Yan State in the Warring States Period (now Daxing County, Beijing). The preface to the poem "Ji" says, "Ding Youlao, I'm going to the north. From Yumen, the old capital of Yan State, its city is the main city, and its traces have been exhausted. This is a sigh. Recalling the past and Zou Zi, the journey of sages is prosperous. " As a result of climbing Ji Mountain, he wrote seven poems to express his ambition. These poems were sent to lay people in Lu Nan, and there were relics of Xuanyuan. The titles of the seven poems are: Xuanyuantai, Yan Zhaowang, Happy Life, The Prince, Mr. Tian Guang, Zou Yan and Guo Kun. Seven poems have been completed but not completed, and they were written on the Youzhou rostrum because of their sudden death.
2. Tang Mengbang's "Skills and Ridiculous Plays" contains: "Taste Xie Qing's" Yuefu "and sigh, saying:' I hope this work can describe where it was before me, which was the era that had gone? Behind me, where is the next generation? ".""Songs of the South Travel": "Only the infinity of heaven and earth mourns the long diligence of life. "The past was full of surprises, but I don't know what will happen. "
[Introduction]
This is a sad song of life. "Before me, where was the lost era? The "ancients" and "newcomers" in "? Behind me, where is the next generation? "Both refer to wise men and ministers, such as Yan Zhaowang and Guo Kun, who are polite to valuable men and women. These two sentences cherish the memory of the ancients and feel that they are ill-timed; Looking forward to new people, I feel that I have no talent. As later generations wrote "Monument to Chen Gong's Respect for Virtue": "Tao can help the world, but life cannot reach the world; This can bring Yao and Shun, but luck is not suitable for Yao and Shun.
This deep depression, sadness and loneliness occupied the poet's whole heart at this time. He stopped at the Youzhou stage, looking for its long history and rich practical significance wholeheartedly:
How many wise kings and ministers have been born with a long history and how many great achievements have been made; How many bad kings and mediocrities you have witnessed and how many sins and disgraces you have washed away!
Long history, in front of you, how short personal life is! No matter how bright or dark, you are a passer-by. Sadly, I can't even make use of this short life. It's hard to find a confidant and a talent. It's sad to think about it, why not make people cry!
This poem is written in the style of ci fu. The simplicity of style, the solemnity of words, the generosity of mood and the grandeur of artistic conception complement each other and have high aesthetic value. "Liu Shiting's Talk" says: "Ruan Infantry went to Guangwu City and sighed:' There is no hero, so he made his name. "Eyes and mind are unpredictable. Chen Shihui will get this idea, and Deng Youzhou Taiwan said. If Chen Ruan meets Luqi, I wonder if she is crying or laughing. "
Thoughts in the dead of night
Tang-Li Bai
The foot of my bed is shining so brightly,
Is there frost already? .
Looking up, I found it was moonlight.
I sank again and suddenly remembered home.
Note: This is a well-known poem about homesickness. On a quiet night, the bed was white with bright moonlight, and people almost thought it was covered with frost. Looking up at the bright moon, I can't help but bow my head and miss my hometown far away.
Thoughts in the dead of night
Homesickness caused by a quiet night.
doubt
Doubt, think.
rise
Lift it up. Lift it up.
What spring looks like.
Reference translation 1
The country is ruined, and only the mountains and rivers are still there. It's spring again in Chang 'an, but after being burned and looted by the rebels, it's already desolate, with deep and dense vegetation everywhere. Although the flowers in spring are in full bloom, they are not pleasing to the eye, but make people cry, as if the flowers are also crying; Although there are spring birds and songs everywhere, I feel sad because I left my family. Listening to the songs of birds is not only unhappy, but also shocking. The war has been going on for a long time, and there has been no news from home for a long time. A letter from home can be worth 12 thousand gold. Because of sadness and worry, the white hair on my head is getting less and less, and I can't even hold the hair clasp.
Reference translation 2
The old country is dead, leaving mountains and rivers empty. Spring has come, and Chang 'an grass is deep. Sigh the status quo, can't help crying when I see flowers, hate to leave, and can't help but be afraid when I hear birds singing. War is raging, and it's late spring in March. Letters from home are precious and worth two thousand gold. My white hair is getting shorter and shorter in pain, and I can't put it down.
