The first two short sentences are the first paragraph, pointing out that climbing mountains and seeing the sea. Climbing to the top and looking at the sea, the poet is full of emotion, but what he writes is not the surge of the sea and the emptying of Hong Tao, but the myths and legends associated with the sea and mountains.
The eight sentences in the middle are the second paragraph, arguing that the legendary fairy realm does not exist in the text, and the myths and legends are also false. All six AOs are bones, and all three mountains are gone. Fusang is destroyed, and the luster of the sun has sunk. The "Golden Que in the Silver Terrace" is like a dream, and the elixir of life sought by Qin Huang and Wu Han is like a mirage. Jingwei reclamation in vain; Catfish is a beam, not enough.
The last six sentences are the third paragraph. In my writing, I think of Qin Shihuang and Han Wudi, who are militaristic and want to live forever and die. This passage is the theme of the whole poem. The Lishan Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang and the Maoling Mausoleum of Han Wudi have been abandoned. Today, the heroic power of that year has long since vanished, and the scenery is no longer there. Only shepherds are allowed to drive their sheep to step on the board and trample on it. Their souls can't keep the grave, and their afterglow can't stop the greedy excavation of grave robbers. I used to be arrogant. It is still such a fate. If you want to be immortal, it's daydreaming. History is ruthless and nature is cruel. Those "careerists" who want to transcend the laws of nature, like ordinary people, will eventually turn to ashes and fall into the dust, becoming dead bones buried deep in the mound, just like ordinary people. And their foolish practices eventually became the laughing stock of future generations. Poetry is not limited to this. Looking back, just to quote a poem, write from it and get to the point. Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty was addicted to Buddhism and Taoism, was a good immortal, and sought immortality, which was worse than that of the Qin, Han and Wu emperors. In contrast, his militaristic behavior is no different from his trip to the wrong country. The real theme of this poem is to learn from the past, compare the past with the present, and satirize the present.
This poem is not mainly about nostalgia, but about time. Looking up to the sea, facing the excellent writing environment and excellent poetry materials, the poet remembered the absurdity of two emperors seeking immortality in history and severely criticized them. This is a satire and criticism of this kind of emperors, and it is also a hint to the current emperors. Feeling hurt the world at that time, satirizing the present, indicating that although the poet is stranded and drifting, he still cares about the court and the country.
This poem is full of allusions, and an allusions represents an image. The orderly arrangement of these images constitutes the thinking structure of the whole poem.
