The famous poem of the poet Wang Ji of the Southern Dynasty,"Using motion to contrast stillness"
Wang Ji was one of the famous poets in Chinese history. His poems expressed his inner world through lyric, scenery description, and discussion. His poems often used the technique of using movement to contrast stillness to let the readers feel the wonderful contrast between movement and stillness. One of the most famous lines was: " The mountain is not high, there are immortals; the water is not deep, there are dragons." This sentence came from his poem "Climbing High". By describing the scene of climbing high and looking into the distance, he expressed the height and silence of the mountain peak, but also hinted at the short and impermanence of life. This poem was also often used in novels to describe the scene in the novel, allowing the readers to feel that the combination of movement and stillness in the scene created a more vivid and rich atmosphere.
