The differences between "Wanglushan Waterfall" and "Ti Xilinbi" are:
1. Different contents:
"Wanglushan Waterfall"
Full text: Purple smoke comes from the incense burner in the sunshine, and you can see the waterfall Kageqianchuan in the distance. ?Flying down three thousand feet, it is suspected that the Milky Way has fallen into the sky.
Translation: The sun shines on Xianglu Peak, creating curls of purple smoke. From a distance, the waterfall looks like a long river hanging in front of the mountain. It seems like three thousand feet of water rushing straight down. Could it be that the Milky Way is falling from the sky to the cliff.
"Inscription on the West Forest Wall"
Full text: Viewed from the side, it looks like a ridge and a peak on the side, with different heights near and far. ?I don’t know the true face of Mount Lu, just because I am in this mountain.
Translation: Looking at Mount Lushan from the front and side, the mountains are rolling and the peaks are towering. When you look at Mount Lushan from a distance, from near, from a high place, or from a low place, you will see that Mount Lushan shows various different appearances. The reason why I can't recognize the true face of Mount Lu is because I am in Mount Lu.
2. The authors are different:
"Looking at Lushan Waterfall" was created by Li Bai, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty; "Inscription on the Western Forest Wall" is a poem by Su Shi, a writer of the Song Dynasty.
3. Different scenes are depicted:
"Looking at the Lushan Waterfall" depicts the majestic scene of the Lushan Waterfall, which is both hazy and majestic; the last two sentences use exaggerated metaphors and romantic imagination, to further describe the image and momentum of the waterfall, every word is exquisite.
"Tixilinbi" Only by staying away from Mount Lushan and jumping out of the shelter of Mount Lushan can we fully grasp the true appearance of Mount Lushan. The whole poem closely focuses on the trip to the mountains and talks about one's own unique feelings. With the help of the image of Mount Lu, it uses popular language to express the philosophy in a simple and profound way, so it is cordial, natural and thought-provoking.
Extended information:
Su Shi had no habit of carving when he wrote poems. What the poet pursues is to use a simple, smooth and fluent language to express a fresh and unprecedented artistic conception; and this artistic conception is shining with the light of philosophy from time to time. Judging from this poem, the language expression is concise, but its connotation is rich. Poetry itself is a highly unified image and logic.
In four lines of poem, the poet summarized the characteristics of the image of Mount Lu, and at the same time accurately pointed out the reason why looking at the mountain is incomprehensible. The vivid sensibility and clear rationality are intertwined, causing each other, and the image of the poem is therefore sublimated into a typical example in the realm of reason. This is why people regard the last two sentences as philosophical aphorisms thousands of times.
