望天门山[1]
天门中断[2]楚江[3]开[4]，
碧水东流至此[5]回[6]。
两岸青山[7]相对出，
孤帆一片日边来[8]。
天门山是安徽东西梁山的合称，两山隔江对峙，好像天开的门户，所以叫天门山。山居然给长江冲断了，可见水势汹涌；水势虽猛，到此还是不得不改变流向，可见山势险峻。诗人乘船顺流而下，峰回路转，仿佛两岸青山争相迎接。一个“出”字，把山都写活了。“孤帆一片”，究竟是望中的孤舟，还是诗人坐的船呢？如是望中，那么，“日”应该是朝阳；如指诗人的船，则是夕阳。从全诗来看，还是青山迎接诗人更好。如果诗中无人，这首诗就纯粹是写景；如果有人，那才更能融景入情。

Mount Heaven’s Gate[1]Viewed from Afar
Breaking Mount Heaven’s Gate,the great River rolls through,
Its east-flowing green billows,hurled back here,turn north.
From the two river banks thrust out the mountains blue,
Leaving the sun behind,a lonely sail comes forth.

[1]In present-day Anhui Province.
Tianmen Mountain is a combination of the East and West Liangshan Mountains in Anhui Province. The two mountains face each other across the river, like a gateway opened by heaven, hence the name Tianmen Mountain. The mountain was actually washed away by the Yangtze River, indicating the surging water; Although the water is strong, we still have to change the direction here, which shows that the mountain is steep. The poet sailed downstream by boat, with peaks turning and the road turning, as if the green mountains on both sides were eagerly welcoming him. The word ‘out’ brings the mountains to life. Is’ a lone sail ‘the lonely boat in sight, or the boat on which the poet sits? If we look at it, then the ‘sun’ should be the rising sun; If referring to the poet’s ship, it is the sunset. From the perspective of the entire poem, it is better for Qing Shan to welcome the poet. If there is no one in the poem, it is purely a depiction of scenery; If there is someone, then it is better to blend in with the scenery and emotions.
