This is a landscape poem with pictures and scenery, and it is also a philosophical poem, which contains philosophy in the description of Lushan scenery.
"Looking at the mountain side into a peak, the distance is different." There is a saying that tourists can get different impressions by observing the face of Lushan Mountain from different angles, such as far, near, high and low. Sometimes you see rolling mountains, and sometimes you see towering peaks. These two sentences summarize and vividly write the various forms of Lushan Mountain.
The last two sentences, "I don't know the true face of Lushan Mountain, but I am only in this mountain", are the experience of reasoning on the spot and talking about traveling to the mountain. The reason why we can't recognize the true face of Lushan Mountain is because we are in the middle of Lushan Mountain and our vision is limited by the peaks and valleys of Lushan Mountain. What we see is only one peak, one ridge, one hill and one valley, which is only partial and inevitably one-sided. These two sentences are wonderful, and the whole artistic conception is fully displayed, which provides readers with a space to recall experiences and gallop their imagination. It's not just a tour to have this rational understanding. This is what you see when you visit the mountains, and it is often the same when you observe things in the world. These two poems are rich in connotation and enlighten people to understand a philosophy of being human-because people are in different positions and have different starting points, their understanding of objective things is inevitably one-sided; To understand the truth and the whole picture, we must go beyond the narrow scope and get rid of subjective prejudice.
A small poem arouses people's infinite aftertaste and deep thought. Therefore, "Tixilinbi" is not only a poet's eulogy of the wonders of Lushan Mountain, but also a philosopher's insight into the true face of Lushan Mountain. Because this understanding is profound and conforms to the objective laws, there is a profound philosophy that inspires people's hearts in addition to the absurd image of Gu Feng. Therefore, this little poem is particularly subtle and profound, which makes people never tire of reading it.
Su Shi's poems are not only a feeling of life, but also a political experience. Su Shi has been involved in the dispute between the old and new laws since he entered the official career. He is closer to conservatives in political inclination and opposes the new law led by Wang Anshi. However, he is not extreme, and advocates absorbing the reasonable components of the new law and paying attention to the implementation strategy, which the old party cannot tolerate. Therefore, Lushan written by Su Shi is also a confusing political situation. The old and new parties have different positions and different conclusions. In fact, people in the game, in the long river of history, are inevitably caught in the dilemma of the authorities. They should think more objectively and draw appropriate conclusions.
If the poetic tradition before the Song Dynasty was characterized by expressing ambition and expressing emotion, then in the Song Dynasty, especially Su Shi, a new poetic style characterized by reasoning appeared. This poetic style is a new poetic style created by Song people after Tang poetry. In Su Shi's words, it means "creating new ideas in statutes and leaving wonderful ideas outside the bold". The characteristics of this kind of poems are: shallow language and deep meaning, reasonable things and light taste. The title Xilin wall is such a good poem.
