1. "Flowers in the Back Garden: One Spring Is Not Recognizing the West Lake" by Xu Di, Song Dynasty
One spring is not recognizing the West Lake. Green and shy, red and tired. Rain windows and tears shake the Hunan tube. The meaning is long and the notes are short.
The only true friend is Diao Liangyan. Accompanied by nature. The east wind doesn't care about Pipa's resentment. Falling flowers blow everywhere.
Translation I haven’t seen the West Lake all spring, and I’m afraid of seeing the fragrant flowers and warm spring outside. The rain outside the window matched my tears, and I waved the pen in my hand to express my emotions. The thoughts in my heart were so long, but the letter was so short, how could I finish my words.
The only one who understands my heart is the spring swallow on the carved beam, flying here and there to keep me company. How can the east wind know the sadness in the sound of my pipa? It blows back and forth and blows away every flower.
2. "Sent Off to Lin Zifang at Dawn from Jingci Temple" Song Dynasty: Yang Wanli
After all, the scenery of West Lake in June is different from that of the four seasons. The lotus leaves touching the sky are infinitely green, and the lotus flowers reflecting the sun are uniquely red.
Translation After all, this is the scenery of West Lake in June. The scenery is indeed different from other seasons. The lotus leaves reach the sky and there is endless green, and the lotus flowers are exceptionally bright and bright red in the sunshine.
3 "Drinking on the Lake, Two Poems on the First Sunny and Later Rain·Part 2" Song Dynasty: Su Shi
The clear sky is good when the water is shining, but the mountains are empty and covered with rain, which is also strange. (Mengtong: Meng)
If you want to compare the West Lake to the West, it is always appropriate to put on light makeup and heavy makeup.
Under the bright sunshine, the water of the West Lake is sparkling and beautiful, and it looks beautiful; on rainy days, under the rain curtain, the mountains around the West Lake are confused and confused. Nothing seems very strange. If the West Lake is compared to the ancient beauty Xi Shi, it is very appropriate to wear light makeup and heavy makeup.
4. "Spring Tour of Qiantang Lake" Tang Dynasty: Bai Juyi
To the west of Jia Pavilion in the north of Gushan Temple, the water surface is initially flat and the clouds are low. In several places, early orioles compete for warmth in the trees, while new swallows peck at the spring mud.
The wild flowers are becoming more and more charming, and only in Asakusa can there be no horse hooves. My favorite part of the lake is the east side of the lake, where the green poplar trees shade the white sand embankment.
Translation From the north of Gushan Temple to the west of Jia Ting, the spring water on the lake has just reached the level of the embankment, and the white clouds hang low, connecting with the waves on the lake. In several places, the early orioles are vying to fly to the trees warmed by the sun to roost, while the newly arrived swallows are building their nests with mud in their mouths.
The numerous and colorful spring flowers are gradually enchanting people's eyes, and the shallow spring grass can just cover the horse's hooves. I love the beautiful scenery on the east side of West Lake the most. I can't get enough of it, especially the white sand embankment under the shade of green willows.
5. "Inscribed on Lin'an Residence" Song Dynasty: Lin Sheng
In the outer building of Qingshan Tower outside the mountain, when will the singing and dancing of West Lake stop? The warm wind makes tourists drunk, and they call Hangzhou Bianzhou.
Translation: The endless pavilions on the green hills stretch as far as the eye can see. When will the singing and dancing on the West Lake stop? The warm fragrant breeze made the noble man so drunk that he almost thought Hangzhou was Bianzhou.
