Comment and Analysis

The poem uses "look" as the title, praising Dongyue and praising nature. Hope reaches the top and the sky is small to express ambition. The first two sentences describe the height and greatness of Mount Tai. First, I write about my admiration for it, and then about its majesty across Qi and Lu. Three or four sentences are about looking closer and seeing the magical beauty of Mount Tai and its majestic image that can separate day and night. Five or six sentences are written about looking into the distance and seeing endless clouds in the mountains, which washes away my mind. The last two sentences describe the desire to climb to the top of the mountain while looking at it. It expresses the poet's ambition to not be afraid of difficulties and dare to climb, showing his perseverance and lofty political ambitions.

Commentary Analysis

This poem confirms his original wish by praising the unknown Qingxi River. The indifference of the green stream is a metaphor for one's natural desire to be at ease. The whole poem is naturally light and elegant, describing the scenery and expressing emotions easily, but the charm is meaningful and mellow. The Qingxi described by the poet is the unity of noisy and melancholy, the blending of liveliness and tranquility, the blending of depth and tranquility. The chanting makes people envious and yearning.
