[Brief analysis]
The extraordinary ambition of the poet in this poem reflects the enterprising spirit of the people in the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
Write what you see in the first two sentences. The Mountain Covers the Day is about vision and mountains. The author stood on the stork tower and looked west, only to see the vast sea of clouds and empty mountains. As the clouds covered the fog, the sun turned white and set beside the peak. "And the loss of the ocean in Huang Jinhe" was written about close range and water. Downstairs, the Yellow River flows into the sea. These two sentences are magnificent, magnificent and exciting to read.
Write the last two sentences. "But you have broadened your horizons by three hundred miles", a poet's endless desire to explore, wants to see further and see where his eyesight can reach. The only way is to stand higher and "walk up a flight of stairs". "A thousand miles" and "the first floor" are imaginary numbers, which are both vertical and horizontal spaces in the poet's imagination. The words "to be poor" and "to be better" contain many hopes and longings. These two poems, which have been told through the ages, vividly imply a philosophy: only by climbing high can you see far; If you look far, you must climb high.
This poem consists of two very concise antitheses. In the first two sentences, the nouns "daytime" and "Yellow River" are relative, the colors "white" and "yellow" are relative, and the verbs "one" and "ru" are relative. The last two sentences are the same, which constitutes a formal perfection.
Stork Tower, formerly located in Yongji County, Shanxi Province, was washed away by the flood on a hill of the Yellow River. Shen Kuo's "Meng Qian Bi Tan" records: "The stork has three floors, and the middle section (mountain name) overlooks the river." It can be seen that it was not after the Song Dynasty.
Wang Zhihuan (688-742) was born in Ji Ling and Jinyang (now Taiyuan, Shanxi) and moved to Jiangzhou (now Jiangxian, Shanxi). Poets in Tang Dynasty.
The Stork House, also known as the Stork House, is located on the east bank of the Yellow River west of the ancient city of Zhou Pu, yongji city, Shanxi Province. It was named after storks lived on it at that time. It is as famous as the Yellow Crane Tower in Wuchang, Yueyang Tower in Dongting Lake and Wangtengting Pavilion in Nanchang, and is known as the four famous buildings in ancient China.
The Stork Building was built in the Northern Zhou Dynasty (A.D. 557-58 1), with spectacular structure and beautiful scenery. In the Tang and Song Dynasties, in the Heron Pavilion, an elegant scholar enjoyed the beautiful scenery and left many immortal poems, among which Wang Zhihuan's Poems of the Heron Pavilion: "The mountains cover the day, and the sea drains the golden river. But as long as you go up a flight of stairs, you can broaden your horizons by 300 miles. " It can be called the swan song of the ages and spread at home and abroad. For thousands of years, the stork tower has been a tourist attraction for tourists to climb mountains and wade in water and express their feelings through singing. It has become a symbol of the excellent traditional culture of the Chinese nation, inspiring the revival ambition of the people of China. The stork tower experienced the Tang and Song Dynasties, but unfortunately it was destroyed by a war in the early Yuan Dynasty (A.D. 1272). Later, due to the flood of the Yellow River, the ruins were flooded. For hundreds of years, countless tourists looked at the river and sighed, leaving endless regrets.

[Writing background]:
Stork Tower, also known as Stork Tower, is named after its former site in the southwest of Zhou Pu (now Yongji County, a house in the river in the Tang Dynasty) in Shaanxi Province, and storks sometimes inhabit it. Shen Kuo wrote in Meng Qian's Bi Tan: "The mirage in the middle of the river, with three floors, is far-sighted and has a bird's eye view of the river. There were many poets in the Tang Dynasty. " Wang Zhihuan's "Five Wonders" is an immortal work in "Leaving Tang Poetry". This poem describes the author boarding a building and overlooking it, a vast picture is presented to him: the sun sets and the Yellow River rushes. The poet can't help reciting two philosophical sentences: "However, going up a flight of stairs broadens your horizons by 300 miles". Meng Qian Bi Tan pointed out that "only Li Yi, Wang Zhihuan and Chang Dang can describe the scenery" in the poems left by the Tang people in the stork house. Li Yi's poems are seven-rhythm poems; Wandering poem is also a five-line poem, also called "In the Lodge of the Heron". The whole poem is as follows: "On birds, they rise above the ground. Ye Ping is surrounded by the sky, and the river breaks into mountains. " The poetic scene is also magnificent and can be called a masterpiece. However, Wang Zhihuan's poems were the first, but in comparison, he lost in the end, and Wang's poems had to be once and for all.
[About the author]:
Wang Zhihuan (688-742), a native of Jinyang, Ji Ling (now Taiyuan, Shanxi), moved to Jiangzhou (now Xinjiang, Shanxi) and was a poet in the Tang Dynasty.
[Appreciation]:
The extraordinary ambition of the poet in this poem reflects the enterprising spirit of the people in the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
Write what you see in the first two sentences. "The Mountain Covers the Day" is about the view, the mountain, and the scenery seen from the stairs. "And the Ocean Drains the Gold River" is about the close-up view, and the water is magnificent and magnificent. Here, the poet captured the rivers and mountains of Wan Li in a very simple and plain language with just ten words; When we read these ten words a thousand years later, we seem to be underground, and we feel open-minded when we see the scenery. Looking into the distance, a touch of sunset sank to the endless rolling mountains in front of the building and disappeared into Ran Ran at the end of the field of vision. This is the sky view, the distant view and the western view. The second sentence is about the Yellow River flowing through the front and bottom of the building, roaring south, then turning east in the distance and flowing to the sea. This is from the ground to the horizon, from near to far, from west to east. When these two poems are combined, the scenery of up and down, far and near, and things are all contained under the pen, which makes the picture look particularly broad and distant. As far as the second poem is concerned, the poet can't see the Yellow River entering the sea from the stork building. The sentence is about the poet's view of the Yellow River far from the horizon, which is a way to combine the prospect with the view of the middle. This writing increases the breadth and depth of the picture.
Write the last two sentences. "But you have broadened your horizons by three hundred miles", a poet's endless desire to explore, wants to see further and see where his eyesight can reach. The only way is to stand higher and "walk up a flight of stairs". "A thousand miles" and "the first floor" are imaginary numbers, which are both vertical and horizontal spaces in the poet's imagination. The words "to be poor" and "to be better" contain many hopes and longings. These two well-known poems are not only unexpected, but also very natural, close to the first two. At the same time, the use of the word "Lou" at the end also plays a role in pointing out that this is a poem about climbing stairs. It can be inferred from the second half of the poem that the first half was written on the second floor. The poet wanted to see the distant scenery as far as possible, and even climbed to the top floor of the building. The poem seems to write the process of climbing stairs straightforwardly, but it has far-reaching implications and is intriguing. Here is the poet's enterprising spirit, forward-looking mind, and also the philosophy of standing high and looking far.
This poem consists of two very concise antitheses. In the first two sentences, the nouns "daytime" and "Yellow River" are relative, the colors "white" and "yellow" are relative, and the verbs "one" and "ru" are relative. The last two sentences are the same, which constitutes a formal perfection.
As far as the whole poem is concerned, this poem is said by the Japanese monk Konghai in On the Chamber of Secrets in the Mirror. Some people say that poetry should not be reasonable. This should only mean that poetry should not be blunt, boring and abstract, not that philosophy cannot be revealed and promoted in poetry. Just like this poem, it perfectly dissolves truth, scenery and events, making readers feel comfortable instead of reasoning. This is a mode to express the philosophy of life through thinking in images according to the characteristics of poetry.
The writing of this poem has another feature: it is a quatrain full of antithesis. When Shen Deqian chose this poem in the Tang Dynasty, he pointed out: "Four languages are correct, and it is not too expensive to read, so the bones are high." There are only two couplets in the quatrains, both of which are antithetical sentences. If they are not powerful enough and coherent enough, they are easily carved or fragmented. In this poem, the previous combination is the opposite name, the so-called "right and wrong", and the sentence is extremely neat, heavy and powerful, which shows the greatness of the scene written; The latter is a flowing pair. Although the two sentences are relative, there is no trace of confrontation. The poet is also very mature in using dual skills.
The famous sentence of this poem is
By going up one flight of stairs, look further.
