The famous line in Cibei Gushan's next poem expresses the life philosophy of the replacement of the old with the new: "The sun is rising and the night is dying, and the spring of the river is entering the old year."

It means saying goodbye to the old year and welcoming the new year. The poet expressed it in more beautiful and artistic sentences. There are sentiments, scenery and philosophy!

"Under the Cibeigu Mountain" is a five-character poem written by Wang Wan, a poet in the Tang Dynasty. This poem uses accurate and concise language to describe the magnificent scenery the author saw when he was anchored at the foot of Beigu Mountain in late winter and early spring. It expresses the author's deep homesickness. It begins with a couplet, describing the feelings of wandering and traveling longing for hometown.

The second couplet describes the scene of boating on the river with "flat tide" and "positive wind", which is a magnificent scene; the third couplet describes the scene of boating at dawn, and the contrast implies philosophy, giving people a positive and uplifting artistic charm; the last couplet describes the sight of wild geese. Missing relatives echoes the first couplet. The whole poem uses natural writing, vivid descriptions of scenes, real emotions, blending of scenes, magnificent style and great charm, and has always been widely recited.

Creative background

As a northern poet in the early Kaiyuan years of the Tang Dynasty, Wang Wan "experienced travels between Wu and Chu" in his life. He was dazzled by the beautiful mountains and rivers of the south of the Yangtze River and was influenced by Wuzhong at that time. Influenced by the poet's delicate poetic style, he wrote some works praising the mountains and rivers of the south of the Yangtze River. This poem "Ci Bei Gu Mountain" is one of them.

This five-rhythm poem was first seen in the "Guoxiu Collection" compiled and selected by Rui Tingzhang of the Tang Dynasty. This is when the poet entered Wu from Chu in the late winter and early spring of one year, and traveled eastward along the Yangtze River. When the boat came to the foot of Beigu Mountain, the tide was flat and the shore was wide, and the geese returned in the remaining night. This triggered the emotions in his heart and he chanted: This eternal masterpiece.

Overall Appreciation

When this song "Under the Cibeigu Mountain" was selected by Yin Fan of the Tang Dynasty for inclusion in the "Heyue Yingling Collection", it was titled "Jiangnan Yi", but there are many variations: There are many new ideas in the south, so travel eastward to wait for the morning. The tide is flat and the two sides are lost, the wind is blowing and the sails are hanging. Hai Ri is born and the night is over, and Jiang Chun is entering the old year. I have always looked at the weather, but I have always been biased towards this.

This poem begins with a couplet, which is both beautifully crafted and out-of-the-box. Qingshan points out the title of Zhongbei Gushan. The author is taking a boat, heading towards the green water displayed in front of him, towards the green mountains, and towards the distant guest road beyond the green mountains. This couplet first writes about "guest travel" and then about boating. The person's feelings of wandering and traveling in the south of the Yangtze River and longing for his hometown have been revealed between the lines, echoing the hometown letter in the last couplet, "Guiyan".
