Poems praising the Yangtze River

Wang Wei s Overlooking the Hanshui River;

Three branches in the south reach Chu territory, and nine branches flow to Jingmen. The river crosses heaven and earth, where the colors of the mountains are yes and no. Human habitation seems to float on the ripples in the distant sky. These beautiful days in Xiangyang have fascinated my old mountain! .

From the very beginning, the poet, by "seeing through the potential of Wan Li", linked what he saw with the "Sanxiang", "Jingmen" and "Nine Schools" in association, and at the very beginning described the boundless momentum of the Yangtze River basin. Then, it describes the scenery that the eyes can see: the water of the Yangtze River looks infinite in the distance, as if flowing outside the world; The green hills on both sides of the strait are blurred, and if there is any reference, they will rise and fall with the waves on the ship. The city in front seems to fluctuate up and down on the water, and the waves are rolling. The poet wanted to invite Shan Jian, a local official who worked here during the Jin Dynasty, to get drunk. The whole poem is magnificent in one go, and the vast Yangtze River is close at hand, which is poetic and vivid. With poems and pictures, it is wonderful and moving.
