终南山
太乙近天都，
连山接海隅。
白云回望合，
青霭入看无。
分野中峰变，
阴晴众壑殊。
欲投人处宿，
隔水问樵夫。
Mount Taiyi stands so near the heavenly capital's height,
Its ranges stretch to where the sea fades from sight.
White clouds close in behind when I turn back my gaze;
Blue mists dissolve to nothing as I enter their haze.
From its central peak, star fields shift their place;
In ravines, sun and shade each show a different face.
I wish to find a house where I may stay the night,
Across the stream I ask a woodman for the site.
逐句注释
太乙近天都，
太乙：终南山主峰，亦为终南山别名。天都：天帝居所，也可指帝都长安。此句用夸张写终南山高耸，几乎逼近天都，暗示其距长安不远。
Taiyi: the main peak and another name for Mount Zhongnan. Tiandu: the heavenly capital, also suggesting the imperial capital Chang'an. The line uses hyperbole to show the mountain's towering height, almost reaching heaven, and hints at its closeness to Chang'an.
连山接海隅。
连山：山峦连绵。海隅：海角、海边。极写终南山脉绵延广阔，远接海角，是想象与夸张之笔。
Lianshan: continuous mountain ranges. Haiyu: the corner of the sea, the seaside. The line exaggerates the vast extension of the Zhongnan range, reaching far to the sea.
白云回望合，
回望：回头望。诗人身在白云之中，回头一望，白云又合拢起来。写山高云深、人在云中的动态感受。
Huiwang: looking back. The poet is amid white clouds; when he turns back, the clouds close again. It captures the dynamic feeling of being high in the mountains, wrapped in clouds.
青霭入看无。
青霭：青色的山岚雾气。入看：进入其中观看。远望似有青霭，走近却看不见，写山岚缥缈、视觉变幻。
Qing'ai: bluish mountain mist. Rukan: entering to look. From afar the mist seems visible, but upon entering it disappears, showing the misty, shifting visual illusion of the mountain.
分野中峰变，
分野：古代以星宿对应地域的划分。中峰：终南山主峰。主峰两侧分属不同分野，写山体巨大，横跨广阔地域。
Fenye: the ancient astrological division of regions according to star fields. Zhongfeng: the central peak. The central peak divides different star-field regions, showing the immense scale of the mountain.
阴晴众壑殊。
壑：山谷。殊：不同。同一山中，众多山谷或阴或晴，气候景象各异，写出山势高深、气象万千。
He: ravines. Shu: different. Within the same mountain, many valleys are shaded or sunlit in different ways, revealing the mountain's height, depth, and varied atmosphere.
欲投人处宿，
投：投宿。人处：有人烟的地方。诗人游山至晚，想找有人家的地方投宿，由写景转入写人。
Tou: to seek lodging. Renchu: a place with people. As evening falls, the poet wants to find a household for the night; the poem shifts from scenery to human activity.
隔水问樵夫。
隔着溪水向樵夫问路。以问路作结，使幽静山景中有人声，画面生动，也显出山深人稀。
Across the stream, he asks a woodcutter. Ending with this question brings a human voice into the quiet mountain scene, making it vivid and suggesting the mountain's depth and sparse inhabitants.
今日赏析
《终南山》是王维山水诗的代表作之一，约作于盛唐时期，具体年份有开元二十九年（741）至天宝三载（744）间等说。终南山位于长安之南，是唐代士人隐居、游赏、求仕的重要场所。王维晚年隐居辋川，性爱山水，兼通佛理与绘画。此诗以夸张、想象和移步换景之法，写终南山的雄伟高远、云雾变幻与山谷阴晴，最后以隔水问樵夫收束，体现其“诗中有画”的艺术特色。
Zhongnan Mountain is one of Wang Wei's representative landscape poems, likely written in the High Tang period, with dates such as 741-744 proposed. Mount Zhongnan lies south of Chang'an and was an important place for Tang scholars to live in reclusion, travel, and seek office. Wang Wei loved mountains and waters, understood Buddhist thought and painting, and in his later years lived in seclusion at Wangchuan. This poem uses hyperbole, imagination, and shifting perspectives to depict the mountain's majesty, changing clouds and mists, and contrasting sunny and shady valleys. It ends with asking a woodcutter across the stream, embodying his artistic ideal that 'poetry contains painting.'
