Appreciation of the Original and Translation of Meng Haoran's Climbing to the Top of Chu Mountain
Climbing to the top of Chushan to appreciate this poem begins with discussion. In the first two sentences, Xiangyang is far better than Huiji (now Shaoxing, Zhejiang) in terms of the beauty of mountains and rivers. Huiji, the capital of ancient Yue, is famous for its beautiful scenery. Meng Haoran has just returned from crossing the border. It is natural to compare Xiangyang landscape with Huiji. The first two sentences convey that mountains are the beauty of hometown and love hometown. As soon as the pen turned, the poet's pen fell on the Mount Chu. Meng Haoran loves sightseeing. He has traveled all over Xiangyang all his life, but no one has ever been to this king of Chu. I wrote that I didn't climb the Chushan Mountain, in order to write that I climbed the Chushan Mountain below. This way of writing highlights Wang's position in the poet's mind.
Write five or six sentences and see Chushan from a distance. The stone cliff of Chuwang Mountain is as steep as a knife, and all the surrounding mountains are located at the foot of Chuwang Mountain. The first sentence of the poem uses metaphor, and the second sentence uses bi xing, which shows the preciseness and height of looking at Chushan from afar. Seven to ten sentences are about climbing Chushan. On a sunny day, climb Mount Chu and look as far as possible until the end of the day. To see the height of Chushan from a distance is to write from a virtual place, so that readers can give full play to their imagination, and then write the last two sentences from a real place. Looking from the south, the huge Yunmengze is only the size of a palm, while the Peach Blossom Garden is hidden among the charming flowers. Yunmeng is the largest lake in ancient China, located in the north and south of the great river, 900 miles away from Fiona Fang. Wuling is in Changde City, Hunan Province. Tao Yuanming's "Peach Blossom Garden": "Jin, Taiyuan and Zhongyuan generations made a living by fishing. Walk along the stream and forget the distance. Suddenly I met the peach blossom forest and grabbed the shore for hundreds of steps. There are no miscellaneous trees in it, and the grass is delicious and colorful. The satrap means to send someone with him to find what he wants, get lost, get lost. Xiangyang is today's Xiangfan City, Hubei Province. Even if you look farther, you can't see the dream and Taoyuan in Hunan, and the vicissitudes of life have changed dramatically. Most of the dreams of the Tang dynasty have become land, in name only. Poetry uses visual proximity to shrink the dream of a thousand miles to the palm of your hand, making the Peach Blossom Garden faintly visible. It is through imagination and exaggeration that the height of Chushan is rendered. Generally, poems about mountain heights are exaggerating how mountains soar into the sky, but here, it is not rigid and interesting to restore the cloud dream Wuling as a foil to seeing Chushan. In this way, this poem shows the poet's lofty and broad mind looking at the mountains in Chu. These two poems are beautiful and poetic.
In the evening, the poet came home from the mountain, showing that the poet was in high spirits, and it was unforgettable to see Chushan. Then the poet went down the mountain and showed the reader a picture of a mountain stream in the moonlight: a horse galloped down the mountain in the silver moonlight; The moon is reflected on the deep stream through the snow, just like a thick wall.
The poem describes Chushan's lofty view and climbing view, and describes the beauty of Xiangyang's mountains and rivers. The style of poetry is faded, so "rich in literary talent" (Yin Gan's "He Yueling's Album") shows the characteristics of being light and practical and "reflecting the show" (He Yueling's Album).
Looking at the creation background of Chushan's highest peak, this poem is a classic. In the summer of 732 (the twentieth year of Kaiyuan), Meng Haoran swam back to his hometown Xiangyang. Shortly after returning home, he visited the king of Chu, 80 miles south of Xiangyang. Chuwang Mountain is the highest mountain in Xiangyang City. It is said that the Qin, Qi, Han and Wei of the Zhou Dynasty attacked the State of Chu and once climbed this mountain to see the State of Chu. Later people called it the king of Chu.
Meng Haoran spent most of his life in his hometown Xiangyang. However, he also made several short trips. He traveled to Hunan and Jiangxi, and went to Shu in his later years. During his travels, he came into contact with many magnificent landscapes, so the poet vividly described what he saw and heard with bold and unrestrained brushstrokes and wrote many magnificent masterpieces.
This poem is one of the masterpieces.
