Cylinder wall

Su Shi

Looking at Lushan Mountain from the front and side of peaks and valleys, from far, near, high and low places, Lushan Mountain presents various faces.

I can't recognize the true face of Lushan Mountain because I am there.

Vernacular translation: From the front and side, Lushan Mountain is undulating and the peaks stand tall. Seen from afar, near, high and low, Lushan Mountain presents various appearances. The reason why I can't recognize the true face of Lushan Mountain is because I am in Lushan Mountain.

Literary appreciation: a small poem that arouses people's infinite aftertaste and deep thinking. 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.
