"What a magnificent sacred mountain Mount Tai is!" It means: How majestic is Mount Tai?
Source: Tang Du Fu's "Looking at Yue"
Whole poem:
What a magnificent scenery Mount Tai is! Out of Qilu, green peaks can still be seen.
The magical nature brings together thousands of beautiful mountains in the south and the separation between morning and dusk in the north.
Layers of white clouds, cleaning the gully on the chest; The flat bird flew into the eye socket.
Try to climb to the top of the mountain: it dwarfs all the peaks under our feet.
Translation:
How majestic is Mount Tai? Walking out of Qilu, you can still see Qingfeng. The magical nature brings together thousands of beautiful scenery, and Shannan separates morning and evening. Layers of white clouds, clean up the gullies in the chest; Go back to the birds and fly into the eyes of the scenery. We must climb to the top of Mount Tai, overlooking the mountains, full of lofty sentiments.
Wang Yue appreciates it more.
Du Fu has three poems "Looking at Yue", and their different themes and styles can just represent Du Fu's mentality in three periods: youth, middle age and twilight.
"Climbing the Mountain and Looking at the Yue" shows the positive thought of managing the world, the brilliance and enterprising spirit of Du Fu's youth, and gives people a magnificent feeling.
The whole poem has formed a vigorous, clean and heroic style; A poem on Huashan Mountain reveals the frustration of the author's official career and the helplessness of serving the country, which represents Du Fu's lost and peaceful life in middle age, so this poem appears euphemistic and tortuous, depressed and frustrated;
Yong Hengshan's Wang Yue is either an allegory, representing Du Fu's introverted, peaceful and kind life in his later years. From this, we can get a glimpse of the trajectory of Du Fu's ideological transformation.
However, no matter how his mentality changes, one thing remains unchanged, and that is his loyalty and patriotism to the monarch. Du Fu wanted to contribute to the country when he was young. Although a man is not proud in middle age, he still has the idea of serving his country. In his later years, he thought he was still the monarch and court official here.
