When is the scenery described in the poem "Wangtianmen Mountain"?
The poem "Looking at Tianmen Mountain" describes the scenery at the turn of spring and summer.
The southeast monsoon and southwest monsoon, which carry large amounts of water vapor from the Pacific and Indian Ocean respectively, prevail in the Yangtze River Basin in summer and around summer. When the monsoon advances and retreats and the cold and warm air currents collide, precipitation is formed. In mid-June, the ridge line of the subtropical high jumps to 20° to 25° north latitude, and the middle and lower reaches enter the plum rain season.
In mid-July, plum blossoms bloom in the area and drought weather begins. In and around winter, cold and dry cold air originating from the polar regions and high latitudes in Asia prevails in the basin, resulting in very little precipitation.
The vastness of the water described in the poem should be around June, that is, at the turn of spring and summer.
According to "Chronological Notes on the Complete Works of Li Bai" compiled by An Qi and "Selected Works of Li Bai" compiled by Yu Xianhao, "Wangtianmen Mountain" should be written at the turn of spring and summer in the 13th year of Kaiyuan of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty (725). Twenty-five-year-old Li Bai left Bashu for the first time and passed Tianmen Mountain for the first time on his way to Jiangdong via Dangtu (now part of Anhui).
Original poem:
"Looking at Tianmen Mountain" Tang Dynasty: Li Bai
Tianmen interrupts the opening of the Chu River, and the clear water flows eastward here.
The green mountains on both sides of the strait face each other, and the lone sail is coming from the sun.
Interpretation:
The Yangtze River is like a giant ax splitting open the majestic Tianmen Peak, and the green river water flows eastward and swirls here.
The beautiful scenery of the confrontation between the green mountains on both sides of the Taiwan Strait is indistinguishable. I met a solitary boat coming from the horizon.
Extended information:
This poem describes clear water, green mountains, white sails and red sun, which form a colorful picture. But this picture is not static, but flowing. As the poet rows, the mountains break, the river opens, the eastward water flows back, the green mountains face each other, the lone sail sails towards the sun, and the scenery unfolds from far to near and then to far.
The poem uses six verbs: "break, open, flow, return, come out, come". The landscape and scenery present an exciting dynamic, depicting the majesty and vastness of the Tianmen Mountain area. The first and second sentences describe the majestic, precipitous and unstoppable momentum of the Tianmen landscape, giving people a thrilling feeling; the third and fourth sentences also vividly describe the vast and vast water potential.
