Thousands of rocks and valleys are tireless, and Gao Yuan can only be known from a distance.

Brief introduction of the author
Master Xiang Yan was a monk in Lushan Mountain.
Li Chen (A.D. 8 10─859), namely Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. During his reign (846-859 AD), he attached great importance to Cody and often sang poems with bachelors. There are six complete Tang poems.
A brief explanation of a sentence
Solve the problem: Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty once hid in the mountains as a monk. I once walked with Zen master Xiang Yanxian. The Zen master said that he carried a waterfall and got a poem, but the next one couldn't catch up. Xuanzong is willing to continue. So the Zen master said the first two sentences, and Xuanzong continued the last two sentences, synthesizing a magnificent famous sentence. Conjunction: two or more people write a poem and then make sentences in turn, which can be connected into an article. One person can make one, two or more sentences. It's hard to write a good work like this. Gully: Gully, gully. Stream: A stream between two mountains.
A series of poems
It flows through thousands of rocks and valleys, and its source can only be seen from a distance.
How can a stream and mountain stream keep it alive? Eventually it will flow to the sea and turn into waves.
meaning
In that mountainous area, countless trickles, which have not even become drops of water in streams, are walking their own way of life day and night. As they walked, they got together, lost themselves, achieved greatness, gradually turned into a murmuring and singing stream, and then poured into a mountain stream together to become a magnificent mountain spring. After experiencing thousands of rocks and valleys, they rushed to the cliff and jumped into thousands of feet, forming a spectacular waterfall spectacle, which aroused people's heartfelt admiration. Nearby, people saw the water mist transpiration from the waterfall and heard it roar like a lion. But from a distance, we can see that it comes from the misty peak, giving people a feeling that the galaxy has fallen for nine days, and it is full of domineering. How can such magnificent things, streams and mountains be preserved forever? It will eventually return to the sea, turn into a thousand hectares of waves, and make a magnificent chapter in its life!
A future emperor and a monk who seems to know the future, when they see the waterfall, they sing things and express their feelings, connect sentences into poems, and write a famous Tang poem that hints at future events. It's a beautiful story. Revealing the surface connotation of the text, Zen master means that Xuanzong was born in a famous family and was able to go through hardships. However, he didn't want to directly tell Xuanzong's future fate, thinking that his poems could not continue, and wanted Xuanzong to express his thoughts and wishes. Xuanzong took over, expressing his willingness to be lonely and vowing to make a difference. Later, Xuanzong really sat on the throne, making this poem a prophetic poem.
Does Zen master know that Xuanzong can achieve great things in the future? Most of them know that all real monks in history have different degrees of fatalism, that is, prophetic function. It is quite common for practitioners to predict future events decades later.
