In this way, direct description and indirect comparison vividly show the wonders of Qiantang autumn tide to readers.
Qiantang river tide is a natural phenomenon, which has existed since ancient times. But the ancients didn't know the reason, so they produced some legends.
Yuejueshu said that during the Spring and Autumn Period, Wu Zixu, the doctor of the State of Wu, advised Fu Cha, the king of Wu, to reject the peace of Yue and stop conquering Qi. Fu Cha wouldn't listen, and then gave him a sword to commit suicide. After his death, his ghost lingered and he was attached to the tide of Qiantang River. Unexpectedly, someone saw his white car showing the tide.
Wang Chong, a materialist philosopher in the Eastern Han Dynasty, denied Wu Zixu's theory that river tides are possessed by souls, and thought that river tides were caused by the gravity of the moon. He explained the river tide according to the causes of the tide, which was not as specific as Su Dongpo's observation and analysis.
During his stay in Wu Yueshi, the rising tide of the river threatened the capital, and people thought it was Poseidon. King Yue ordered 3000 crossbowmen to shoot arrows at the tide, "fighting Poseidon", and the tide finally receded. Su Dongpo's poem "Three Thousand Strong Crossbows Shooting Low Tide" is about this.
Throughout the ages, there have been poems offering sacrifices to Poseidon or throwing themselves into the river for peace. In the early days of liberation, in order to avoid the harm of river tides, some people wanted to build a tidal sluice in Haimen. Fortunately, this stupidity is yellow.
2. Tide observation adopts the contrast method. Try to explain that tide watching is a kind of landscape narrative. At the beginning of the article, "the wonders of the world" is used to guide the whole article. "Strange" is not only the main line of the article, but also the center of the article.
By describing the far and near scenery of the river before the high tide, the author renders a quiet atmosphere: "The broad Qiantang River is just in front of us, and the river is calm and wider and wider to the east ..." This is in sharp contrast with the "movement" when the tide comes, which has accumulated strength for the tide. Then it is written that people "look east and wait for expectation", and the eagerness of tide watchers creates a unique situation for the arrival of the spring tide, highlighting "strangeness" from the side.
The tide is coming, which means that the tide is coming. The sound of the tide changes from "muffled thunder rolling" to "louder and louder" and then to "the sound is like a landslide", which means that the sound of the tide is "strange". From the morphological point of view, when the spring tide comes, it first moves from the "white line", gradually "elongates, thickens and crosses the river", then "white waves roll" to form the city wall, and then "thousands of white horses" gallop in. The author reproduces the magnificent picture of the surging and unstoppable spring tide, which makes people feel as if they are in it, further highlighting the "strangeness" of the waves.
The word "suddenly" behind the tide shows the speed of spring tide. The aftermath is "the sky is rolling in", and then "look at the bottom of the dike, the river has risen by two feet", indicating that the tide has come and left us with a "spectacle".
The spring tide of Qiantang River is thrilling, magnificent and spectacular, and it deserves to be called the wonder of the world!
3. Three beautiful sentences to watch the tide: 1, Qiantang River spring tide, known as the wonders of the world since ancient times.
"Wonder" refers to a magnificent, beautiful, rare sight or an extremely rare thing. Qiantang River has a long history of tide watching. During the Warring States Period, Zhuangzi wrote in the "South China Classic": "The water of Zhejiang, Taoshan rolling house, whether lightning strikes or not, has the potential to swallow the sky and the sun." This is the earliest record of Qiantang River in history. Tide-watching custom originated from the Han, Wei and Six Dynasties, formed in the tide-watching style in the Tang Dynasty, and continued to the Song Dynasty with unprecedented pomp. Many literati in the past dynasties have described the spectacular scenes and customs of tide watching in Qian Jiangchao.
After a while, the noise became louder and louder. I saw a white line at the junction of water and sky in the east, and the crowd was boiling again.
"A white line" means that the river tide is coming from a distance. At this time, the broad tidal head stirred up a white splash, which looked like a white line from a distance. Yang Wanli, a poet in the Song Dynasty, compared this "white line" to a white jade belt on the Qiantang River in his poem "Silver in the sea is the country and jade in the river is the waist".
3. As we approached, white waves rolled and formed a water wall more than two feet high.
"Zhang" is the unit of length, and 1 Zhang is about 3.33 meters. In this paper, water waves are compared to "water walls" to describe the height and range of tidal waves.
