Peeking at the sunset in the bamboo forest.

Birds fly on the roof (3),

Clouds floated out of the window.

Miscellaneous poems in the mountains

What you see-Shan Lan in the twilight, sandwiched between bamboo-is a picture of a slow sunset.

Birds fly leisurely under the eaves of others, and a faint cloud slowly floats out of the window.

This poem describes the poet's interesting life in the mountains. Surrounded by peaks, bamboo trees are flourishing, birds are flying on other people's roofs, and the most interesting thing is that clouds are floating outside the window.

Enjoy 1:

These four landscape poems have their own styles. Before each sentence, if we read the words "Look at that" in one breath, a wonderful picture will appear before our eyes and a beautiful music will ring. Du Fu's quatrains: "Two orioles sing green willows, and a row of egrets go up to the sky. The window contains autumn snow in Xiling, and the Wu Dong Wan Li boat stops at the door. " Looking around, I feel deeply, combining different scenery to form a special environment, giving people a fresh feeling. That's the style.

Appreciation 2:

The poem describes the poet's interesting life in the mountains: surrounded by mountains, bamboo and wood are flourishing, birds are flying on the eaves of others, and clouds are floating outside the window. This kind of seclusion exhausted the dust of the world and expressed the poet's comfortable and leisurely mood casually and vividly.

The whole poem is only four short sentences, one sentence and one scene, but each sentence is inseparable from the theme of "in the mountains", which is a common phenomenon in quiet mountains. When the sun sets, you can only see the oblique glow of its veins in the cracks of the bamboo forest, indicating that the bamboo forest is dense and lush, and the first two sentences of the fun in the mountains have been heard. Birds come and go on the eaves, and white clouds pass through the window, all of which show that the poet lives on a high and steep terrain, while in the Maolin bamboo cultivation, birds always live in front of and behind his eaves, which reflects the tranquility and detachment of the mountain residence, away from the hubbub.

Shen Deqian once said this poem: "Four sentences about scenery are unique." It means that this little poem concentrates all the pen and ink on the scenery, which is different from the general structure from scenery to characters or from scenery to lyric, and opens up a new format. In fact, although each of these four sentences is a scene, people are always in it. For example, "seeing" and "peeking" in the first two sentences all indicate that there is someone behind the scenes, and the scene written is only seen by people, not purely objective description. As for "on the roof" and "in the window" in three or four sentences, people's existence is more clearly revealed. Moreover, the poet's joy in living in the mountains has been hinted at in his landscape writing, and his calm and detached state of mind can also be seen here.

Wu Jun is an expert in writing landscapes. The reason why these four short poems can outline the characteristics of Shan Jutu lies in the author's proper choice of observation angle. Smoke is seen by mountains, sunset is seen by bamboo, birds are on the eaves, and clouds are outside the window. In this way, Shan Lan, Sunset, Birds and Clouds were written in an unusual way, which brought the subjective color that the poet saw in Shan Jutu and had typical significance. It's like photography, which takes the same image, but everyone has his own opinion. A frame of successful works can always capture the characteristics and interest of the scenery from a novel and ingenious angle, and so can Wu Jun's imitation of the landscape.

Translation:

The peak is filled with mist.

The afterglow of the sunset falls in the gap of the bamboo forest.

Birds are flying happily on the eaves.

White clouds floated out of the window.
