Lotus Cave used to be a pavilion [1], and the pavilion and entrance were expected [2]. Every time I visit, the lake is bright and blue, and an eyebrow is like a mirror. Liu Qiao Liu [3], painting the wind and waves all the way [4], Xiao Shu cute [5]. Sunny and rainy days [6], the scenery is different, and the uniqueness of innocence and kindness is also in [7]. If the cave stone is exquisite, it is more skillful than carving [8]. I said that Wu Shan and Nanping schools are all rocks, bones and dirt [8], and the more you search, the more you find them [10]. If you are near the Songyuan Pavilion, you can find all the people and the stones of Ziyang Palace. Sun Neiguan [1 1] found many people. Hey! Andrew Five Gods will pull Qiantang River [12], wash away dust and mud, and make the mountain bones come out. What a miracle!

In front of the Lotus Cave is a pavilion, which is open and overlooks. Every time I boarded and watched, the lake was clear and transparent, and people's shadows appeared in the mirror. The willows of the Sixth Bridge are swaying with the wind, but it seems that the willows are pulling the wind, causing waves in the water. The willows are scattered and beautiful. In a clear moonlit night and in a misty rain, the scenery is different, which is the most wonderful place in Jingci Temple. The stone in the cave is exquisitely carved, as if it were alive, and it is more ingenious than fine carving. I have realized that both Wu Shan and Nanping Mountain are covered with mud, and there are stones underneath. There are holes in the middle of the stone, which can communicate with each other. The more you dig, the more caves you have. Nearby stones, such as the Song Garden Pavilion, were all found here, and many stones in Ziyang Palace were excavated here by Sun Nei's attendants. Hey! What if Hercules V could take water from Qiantang River, wash away the dust and mud on the mountain surface and uncover all the wonderful mysteries of the stones below?

works appreciation
This is a kind of fresh landscape writing, with bright and smooth brushwork and no traces of carving. Whether the author writes pavilions, lakes, willows and stones, he only writes a little pen, showing his own characteristics. He carved the scenery carelessly, but tried to use freehand brushwork to blend in with feelings; They do not copy the old sentences of their predecessors, but innovate everywhere, so they often express natural beauty in a unique way. "There are many flowers in the lake, and people are like shadows in the mirror", "offering" and "falling" all give the lake and people a vivid and novel action, and the author's joy comes out with the scenery; "Six Bridges and Willow Leads Wind and Waves All the Way" endows wicker with lively dynamics and humanized affection, unconventional and beautiful. At the end of the article, a few comments were filled with emotion, which entrusted the author's feelings for the pursuit of beautiful things.
