the first answer: ""My teacher," he answered," went for herbs "",from the perspective of the structure of the whole poem, from the rendering of the environment and atmosphere, entered the sketch of action, and from abstraction to concreteness. In ancient China, there was the idea of pursuing immortality, and the Qin Emperor Hanwu was a typical example, and even alchemists prevailed in Qin and Han Dynasties, and fraud became a common practice. In contrast, hermits who excel in the world pay attention to their own cultivation. In the secluded life, enlightenment, health preservation and medication (medicine for health preservation) constitute the main contents. This is especially true in Wei, Jin and Israel. Therefore, for hermits, collecting herbs is an important activity, and its utility lies not only in taking medicine to preserve health, but also in climbing mountains for collecting herbs, which is excellent physical exercise. Therefore, for the real hermit, it is a trinity to be good at understanding Tao, keeping in good health and picking herbs. The profundity of the Tao is manifested in the beauty of the crane, and the exchanges are as unconstrained as the sky. "My teacher," he answered, "went for herbs", the boy, revealed the typical feature of the hermit, and at the same time added the sadness that the poet hurt him.
The second answer is aimed at the poet's question about where to collect herbs.
This answer is very clear and affirmative, which seems to give the poet some expectations to pursue, but then the third answer seems to have guessed the poet's expectations, and finally he gave a fruitless answer: "how can I tell, through all these clouds?."
At this time, the mountains are high, the clouds are deep, and the hermit's escape suddenly leaps into the reader's imagination.
around these answers, there are actually two kinds of expression structures intertwined and evolving. First, the performance structure of the hermit's behavior, which is from virtual to real (not here but in this mountain), from real to virtual (how can I tell, through all these clouds?), virtual to real, just like the Youlong in the cloud, looming, giving people a sense of confusion, trance and confusion, fully showing the hermit's fengshen. First, the poet's own emotional expression structure, which changes from melancholy to expectation (not knowing that he is in this mountain), from expectation to deeper melancholy, revealing an unreachable emotion. The poet was originally a monk, and later returned to the common customs, but his official career was not proud, so he always admired the noble and extraordinary world life. "But in this mountain, how can I tell, through all these clouds?" is actually not only the poet's description of the hermit, but also the life realm that the poet himself pursues and yearns for.
It is said that Jia Dao's poems are too caught up in the "scrutiny" of words, but only work hard on the use of words, and often have good sentences but no good articles; This poem, on the other hand, has taken great pains in the conception of the article, and there are no good sentences but good ones.
