China's Poems Containing Dialectics

Su Shi's Xilin Bi Ti is a philosophical poem containing dialectics.

Looking at Lushan Mountain from the front and side of peaks and valleys, from far, near, high and low places, Lushan Mountain presents various faces.

I can't recognize the true face of Lushan Mountain because I am there.

The title Xilinbi is a summary of Su Shi's visit to Lushan Mountain. It describes the various characteristics of Lushan Mountain, and points out that observation should be objective and comprehensive. If it is subjective and one-sided, it will not be possible to draw a correct conclusion. This is a philosophical poem by the richest man, but the poet did not talk about it in the abstract, but talked about his unique feelings by tightly holding the mountain tour. With the help of the image of Lushan Mountain, he expressed his philosophy in plain language, so he was kind and natural.
