"The mountains and rivers in the world are in Shu". This is the ancient people's praise of Sichuan's natural scenery. Bashan and Shushui are beautiful, Emei is beautiful, Qingcheng is secluded, Xiong Zhi Kuimen and Jiange are steep, and Sichuan's famous mountains and rivers nourish Su Shi's talent and cultivate the poet's deep affection for the mountains and rivers of the motherland, from the top of Emei to the West Lake, from the Song and Liao borders to Lingnan. Those famous mountains, rivers, lakes, oceans, places of interest and historic interest are gathered into colorful scrolls in Su Shi's poems, which express the poet's love for them and also reflect the author's life ideal and pursuit of beauty.

In November of the fourth year of Jiayou (A.D. 1059), Su Shi finished the funeral for his mother and went to Beijing with his father and brother Su Zhe. They went down the Minjiang River and the Yangtze River until Jiangling (now Jiangling, Hubei Province) abandoned the ship and traveled by land. With beautiful mountains and rivers along the way, he wrote many poems praising the mountains and rivers of the motherland. He wrote in "Early History":

The morning drums beat, and the west wind hunted pictures.

My hometown is far away, and my meaning is infinite.

Jinshui is fine, and Qingjiang is fresher.

Pentium over the Buddha's foot and make a flat river.

There are Zen visitors in the wild market, and the fishing platform looks for dusk smoke.

The phase will come first, and the water will flow forever.

In the morning, the boat set out, drums were beating loudly, the west wind was hunting, colorful flags were flying, the hometown was getting farther and farther away, and Jinjiang was getting thinner and thinner, and it could no longer be seen. However, the swift Minjiang River alluvial into a vast plain at the foot of Leshan Giant Buddha. The fresh poems truly describe the magnificent scenery here.

Another example is "Into the Gorge", "Wushan" and other long stories, which are also vivid and interesting. He wrote water: "The Yangtze River meets Chu and Shu, and thousands of factions rush to the southeast. Heshui (tributary flows into the river) comes like electricity, and Qianbo (Wujiang, a tributary of the Yangtze River) is as blue as blue. I can't count the remaining streams. I compete with you in the distance. At the beginning of the canyon, there was no way to go, and the mountains suddenly became niches. It is winding and vast, and it is shrinking into a deep pool. " ("Into the Gorge") A hundred rivers return to the river, and the water is wide and swift. But after entering the gorge, twists and turns are like entering the pool. He is like a mountain: "pale cliffs suddenly push each other, and the cliffs are scared." Looking up at the top of August 9th, you are handsome and cool (white fog). The sky is high and the clouds are light, and the river is boiling. Lonely and arrogant, I am brave and fearless. " ("Wushan") Wushan 12 peak, the mountain is steep and scary. Often shrouded in white fog, only eight or nine peaks can be seen. The river is boiling, the mountains and rivers are swaying, and the sky is particularly high. Wu Shan Qifeng stands out like a fearless soldier. His seven-character poem "Wangjiang Up the Mountain" is even more interesting:

Looking at the mountains on the boat is like walking on horseback.

Suddenly hundreds of groups passed by.

Qian Shan's teeth (patchwork) suddenly became abnormal.

Hou Ling's miscellaneous (numerous and chaotic) is like a rush.

Looking up, the diameter of the emblem is oblique.

There are pedestrians in the street.

Raise your hand and talk on the boat,

Lonely sails fly south like black.

The mountain peaks along the river are shaped like horses, and some of them have different postures and are changeable. Some people are crowded back and forth and look like they are running. The path on the mountain twists and turns; The pedestrians above are shadowy. This poem expresses the poet's cheerful mood and his fall by watching the magnificent scenery of the mountains, which suddenly pass by like a bird flying south.
