Translation
On a sunny day, the water of the West Lake is rippling, shining in the sun, and it is extremely beautiful. When it rains, the mountains in the distance are shrouded in mist and rain, appearing and disappearing, and the eyes are confused. This hazy scenery is also very beautiful.
If the beautiful West Lake is compared to the beauty Xi Tzu, then light makeup or heavy makeup can always well highlight her natural beauty and charming charm. Appreciation of poems
The clear sky is beautiful when the water is shining, and the mountains are also strange when they are empty and rainy
From the title of the poem, we can see that the poet was drinking and enjoying the West Lake. The sun was bright at first, and then it rained. It started to rain. He admired two different views. He said: When the sky is clear, the clear water of the West Lake is rippling and sparkling, and the scenery is just right; when it rains, the green mountains around the West Lake are misty and vast, and if they are there or not, they show another wonderful scenery. "Liaoyan", the waves are flashing. "Empty", misty rain and confusion. Both words are rhyming words, which enhance the musicality of the poetic language.
Here, the poet writes about both the lake and the mountains; there are both sunny scenes and the charm of rainy days. It can be said that there is a lot of content. But from another perspective, it is very general, because these two sentences are not only applicable to West Lake. In fact, this is the exquisiteness of the poet's writing style. The West Lake is beautiful, but no one can tell exactly what is beautiful and how it is beautiful. If you describe the scenery specifically, you may have some wonderful sentences, but they are always too real and specific, and cannot convey the overall impression of the West Lake. Su Shi's two sentences have a high degree of artistic generality, and at the same time they are very vivid and expressive. They have a lot of room for imagination. They express people's most common feeling of "the West Lake is beautiful" in the language of poetry. At the same time, these two sentences also reflect the poet's broad mind and optimistic and comfortable temperament.
If you want to compare West Lake to Xizi, light makeup and heavy makeup are always suitable.
"Xizi" means Xi Shi, a famous beauty in Yue country in the Spring and Autumn Period. No matter whether it is elegantly decorated or dressed up, Xi Shi is equally beautiful. If the West Lake is compared to Xi Shi, then it will be equally beautiful whether it is sunny or rainy, winter or spring.
Analysis
One day, Su Shi and his friends were drinking wine by the West Lake. The weather was sunny at first, but soon it turned cloudy and started to rain. In this way, before finishing drinking, the poet enjoyed the two completely different scenery of the West Lake, sunny and rainy. So the poet praised and said: On a sunny day, the West Lake has rippling and dazzling waves on the water, which just shows its beautiful style; on a rainy day, the West Lake has hazy clouds and mist in the mountains, showing a unique and wonderful scenery. West Lake is beautiful all the time, whether it is sunny or rainy. I think it is best to compare the West Lake to the West. The sky and mountains are her elegant makeup, and the shimmering water is her rich powder. No matter how she dresses, it can always highlight her natural beauty and charming charm. .
The first two sentences of this little poem are descriptions: describing the water on a sunny day and the mountains on a rainy day. It uses two landforms and two kinds of weather to express the beauty of the West Lake landscape and the changeable characteristics of sunny and rainy days. It is written in a specific and detailed way. It is expressive and has a high degree of artistic generality, so much so that some people commented that many West Lake poems in ancient times have been wiped out by these two sentences. The last two sentences are metaphors: between heaven and earth, human beings are the most spiritual; among human beings, Xizi is the most beautiful.
Based on the description of the first two sentences, the West Lake is compared to the beauty Xi Tzu, saying that it is the same as Xi Tzu, the ultimate spirit and beauty in the world, not to mention that it is carefully dressed with light or heavy makeup!
However, the beauty of the West Lake is not the whole mystery of this metaphor. There are some women in history whose reputations are as good as those of Xizi. Why does the poet choose to compare Xizi with West Lake? This is because, in addition to her grace and beauty, Xizi has two unique similarities with West Lake: first, Xizi’s hometown is not far from West Lake and both belong to the land of ancient Yue; second, Xizi and West Lake both have the word "西" above their heads. It sounds natural. For these reasons, Su Shi's clever metaphor won praise from later generations, and West Lake was also called West Lake. Creative Background Appreciation
The first half of the poem not only describes the scenery of the West Lake, but also the sunny and rainy conditions of the West Lake. "The clear water is beautiful when the water is shining" describes the water light of the West Lake on a sunny day: Under the bright sunshine, the water of the West Lake is rippling, sparkling and very beautiful. "The color of the mountains is also strange in the sky and the rain" describes the color of the mountains on a rainy day: under the curtain of rain, the mountains around the West Lake are confused and vague, and it is very strange. From the first poem, we can know that on this day, the poet accompanied his guests to have a banquet in the West Lake all day long. The sun was bright in the morning, then it turned overcast, and it started to rain after dusk. In the eyes of poets who are good at appreciating nature and have deep feelings for the West Lake, whether it is water or mountains, sunny or rainy, they are all beautiful and wonderful. From the compliments "It's good when it's sunny" and "It's strange when it's raining", we can imagine the beautiful scenery of lakes and mountains in different weather conditions, and we can also imagine the poet's excitement and free and easy character and broad mind when he used his brushstrokes at the scene. The scenery written in the first half is a scene of exchange and correspondence. The emotion is a broad and heroic feeling. The scenes blend together and the scenes are relative between the sentences. The beauty of the West Lake is summarized and the poet Su Shi's emotions are fully expressed.
