此作品的灵感来源于一首诗。
原文：题西林壁
《宋代 · 苏轼》
横看成岭侧成峰，
远近高低各不同。
不识庐山真面目，
只缘身在此山中。
哲理：
《题西林壁》这首古诗告诉了我们要想认识事物的本质，必须全面客观地把握、冷静地分析，才能不被局部现象所迷惑。反映了我们常说的一句俗语：“当局者迷，旁观者清”。
Sung dynasty quatrain
Su Shi (1037 - 1101): Written on the Wall of Xilin Temple (at Mount Lushan)
1 A range in panorama, peaks if viewed from the side;
2 Far, near, low, and high, these summits differ wide.
3 The true face of Mount Lushan, O ‘tis so hard to tell,
4 Because this very mountain, has had me right inside.
Interpretation:
Su Shi/Sun DongPo wrote his feelings after he visited Mountain Lu . He didn’t portray any specific scenery; instead, he wrote about his general impressions of the mountain.
The poem aims not at depicting scenery or expressing the poet’s feelings; rather, it attempts to enlighten people with a philosophy on life – since people come from different backgrounds , it is inevitable that they see things from different viewpoints; therefore, their opinions are often one-sided and subjective. If we want to see things as they are, we should get rid of parochial opinions so that our judgments are untainted by personal prejudices. This poem resonates with me.
