Appreciation of Zheng Chouyu's The Book Beyond the Mountain

Zheng Chouyu's name is written on the cloud. -Ji xian

Zheng Chouyu's poems mostly take "travelers" as images, and are full of uncertain sense of direction and distance around the theme of wandering and drifting. The opposing images of the mountains and the sea in this poem constitute an eternal prodigal son image.

First of all, look at the title "The Book Beyond the Mountain", which means that it is written outside the mountain, but it avoids any suspense in the mountain. Then, the clouds and winds on the sea, from the initial suspense to the drifting at sea, make people feel the final sense of belonging, which reminds people of Zheng Chouyu's poem in The Voice of the Country: My name is on the warm earth, I have lost my old partner, and I am very lonely.
