Essentials of appreciation
In the first few strokes of this paper, we have described a beautiful picture of ancient Liuping dike, rippling blue waves, Xiangshan Temple, bamboo gate pipa and seagulls, which is as poetic as being in a picture of Jiangnan. The article describes the scenery of Hucheng Lake, Zhumen Lake, Biwahu Lake, green forest, green deer and seagulls with vivid colors, which is beautiful by combining dynamic and static. The lake is smoky, the Shan Ye is foggy, the evening breeze is cool, and the willow branches are swaying, making it almost impossible to go. The scenery is picturesque, but there are no people I meet, so the author has to "walk alone". Compared with Yang Meng's brothers who are addicted to the bustling beauty of the West Lake, the author's trip to the West Mountain is quiet, elegant and chic. Unfortunately, they didn't realize it, so they "laughed".
The article is short and pithy, and writes the strongest feelings and the most beautiful scenes with the simplest brushwork, which is not stagnant, artificial and naive.

4. You Huashan and You Xishan's quiet room classical Chinese translation is my understanding, which may not be perfect.
You Huashan: On the way back, I saw that the persimmons in the Woods were all yellow, so I picked them and ate them immediately. The local people shouted to me to stop, but I wouldn't listen. I chewed them as astringent as paper and spit them out in a hurry. Before I could speak, I dismounted and found a spring to gargle. The locals laughed.
Because persimmons need to be picked and boiled once to get rid of astringency, so I don't understand. I went back to the wall and the door was closed. Looking from the crack of the door, the winding path of the low fence is secluded, green bamboo is lush, so quiet that no one can hear the voice, and no one answers when knocking at the door.
A man passed by and said, "There is a stone in the hole in the wall, which is a tool for knocking at the door." I tried to knock a few times in a row, and sure enough, a little novice monk came out to open the door.

7. Which translation of Yuan Zhongdao and The Journey to the West do you want? QAQ won't be all ten. I, I, I, I can't translate ... Let's throw a ... pure manual translation ... out of Xizhimen, across the sorghum bridge, there are willows on both sides of the road, and the stream is as clean as a belt. The water is crystal clear, and you can clearly see the sand and algae at the bottom of the stream. Aquatic plants float like the long hair of wild animals. The little fish swam tail to tail and suddenly jumped out of the water. The flowing water is continuous, backed by the forest and connected with the temple. The green leaves are lush and cover the vermilion gate downward. No one is silent, only (birds and flowers). After pressing the sluice gate, there was gurgling water. At the Longtan levee, the trees are more lush and lush. Lotus stretches for dozens of miles like splendid scenery, which is more fragrant with the wind. There are many horses and chariots. Near the water's edge is the best place to play the floating cup drinking game. There is an attic halfway up the mountain, a few feet away from the bridge (a martial art). There is a temple next to the steep cliff, with cypress trees and a thousand miles of feldspar road. There is heavy fog in Shan Lan. Its front is as wide as a mirror, willows flow along the stream, and there is a field path in the middle. Among the plants, the village is faintly visible. Walk along the water, and you will arrive at Gongde Temple, which is wide and elegant and has the flavor of rural Shan Ye. In front of the temple, the clear water winds, and there is a dangerous bridge (I'm not sure whether it's steep or unsafe here-it should be the former) for you to sit down. Most monks in the temple often do this. You can see practitioners (monks) coming home with cups and cups, wearing hats and singing Shan Ye songs. An old monk walked on the ridge of a paddy field with a stick. White ripples rippled in the paddy field, and a large group of frogs were singing. Ah! This is the fun of family. I haven't seen such a sight for three years.
