Spring Tour of Qiantang Lake
(Tang Dynasty) Bai Juyi
North of Gushan Temple and west of Jiating,
The water surface is initially flat and the clouds are low.
In several places, early orioles compete for warmth in the trees,
Whose new swallows peck at the spring mud.
The random flowers are becoming more and more charming,
Only in Asakusa can there be no horse hooves.
My favorite part of the lake is the east side,
the white sand embankment in the shade of green trees.

[Translation]
Walking around Gushan Temple and Jia Pavilion, the spring water of the West Lake has just risen to the level of the shore, and the floating clouds and lake waves have joined together; there are several places where people came out of their nests early. The orioles flew to the warm trees facing the sun to crow, while the swallows who had just returned from unknown family over there were busy picking up mud and building nests. All kinds of flowers are gradually blooming, and the number is dazzling. The grass in early spring can just cover the horses' hooves. The tree-lined sand embankment on the east side of the West Lake makes people love it so much that they never want to leave.

There is a green snail in the white silver plate.

Modern translation of ancient poems
The water light of Dongting Lake blends with the autumn moon, and the water surface is calm and calm, just like an unpolished bronze mirror. From a distance, Dongting Lake's landscape is emerald green, just like a silver plate holding green snails.
Appreciation of famous lines - "Looking at the green mountains and rivers of Dongting in the distance, there is a green snail in the silver plate."
This is a short landscape poem written by the poet looking at Dongting Lake in the distance. It is as clear as words. It means timeless. The first sentence starts with the indistinguishable blending of water, light and moonlight, expressing the openness and distance of the lake. This should be the scene at sunset. It is not dark yet but the moon has come out. If it is dark, you cannot see the colors of the two. Fusion. The second sentence uses the metaphor of a mirror to express the calmness of the lake at night. Because the sun has set, the lake does not reflect light, just like the dull luster of a mirror when it is not polished. In the third sentence, the poet's sight is focused from the vast lake to Junshan. The "landscape" here actually only refers to the mountain, that is, Junshan in the lake. At this time, the mountains are greener and clearer. The fourth sentence uses another metaphor, comparing Junshan floating in the water to a green snail on a silver plate. The whole poem purely describes the scene, with both detailed description and vivid metaphor, which shows the poet's romantic color.
Looking at Dongting Lake as a gift to Prime Minister Zhang
The level of the lake in August is too clear.
The steam is rising over Yunmengze, and the waves are shaking Yueyang City.
If you want to help without a boat, you will live in a shameful sage.
Sitting and watching the fishermen, it is easy to envy the fish.
|
In August, the water in Dongting Lake is swollen and vast, and the water and sky are blurred and blurred, stretching into space.
In August, the lake is horizontal, and the water is too clear.
The water vapor in Yunmeng'erze is steaming white, and the rough waves seem to shake Yueyang City.
The clouds are steaming over Mengze, and the waves are shaking Yueyang City.
I want to cross the water but I can’t find a boat or an oar. It’s really shameful to live idle in the Ming Dynasty.
If you want to help without a boat, you will live in shameful sage.
Sit back and watch others working hard to fish in the river, and you can only envy others for their success in fishing.

[Appreciation]
This is a poem praising the West Lake. It was written in the sixth year of Xining (1073). There are two original poems, and this is the second of them. head. The poet particularly liked the West Lake and wrote many poems praising the West Lake, among which this one is the most outstanding. This poem was written with emotion when the poet and his friends were boating on the lake, drinking and enjoying the scenery, and saw the different scenery of the West Lake on a sunny day and in the rain. The poet thinks that the West Lake on a sunny day and the West Lake in the rain are both beautiful, and expresses the poet's endless admiration. "The clear water is beautiful when the water is shining, and the mountains are empty and rainy, which is also strange." The first two sentences describe the scenery, and the scenery is full of emotion. On a sunny day, the water of the West Lake is rippling with blue waves, stretching as far as the eye can see, which is indeed very beautiful; but when it rains, the mountains are confused and looming, which is equally wonderful. The scenery of the West Lake is really beautiful. "If you want to compare the West Lake to the West, it is better to put on light makeup and heavy makeup." These two sentences take the metaphor to another level and express the endless love for the West Lake. The poet compares the West Lake to the beauty Xi Shi, who always looks so graceful no matter whether she wears heavy makeup or light makeup. Everyone has a love for beauty, so who can not love Xi Tzu? The poet has devoted endless love to the West Lake, almost to the extent that it cannot be added. Comparing the West Lake to the West also appears frequently in the poet's other poems, which shows that the poet is very proud of this metaphor. Because this poem has spread far and wide, West Lake also has the reputation of Xizi Lake.
This poem's metaphors are novel and unique, with a rich aftertaste, and there are metaphors within metaphors. For example, "the water shines brightly and the sun shines brightly" is used to describe heavy makeup, and "the mountains are empty and the rain is also strange" is used to describe light makeup. It goes back and forth, saying goodbye. Characteristic.
