The poems describing Hangzhou come from "Inscribed on Lin'an Residence", "Spring Inscribed on the Lake", and "Recalling Jiangnan". The specific poems are as follows:
1. Inscribed on Lin'an Residence (Song Dynasty) Lin Sheng
What time does the singing and dancing in the West Lake and the Qingshan Tower outside the mountain close?
The warm wind makes tourists drunk, and they call Hangzhou Bianzhou.
Appreciation: This is a poem written on the wall of a hotel in Lin'an City. It not only expresses sorrow and multiplies the emotion by describing the happy scene, but also contains profound connotations in the profound aesthetic realm. At the same time, the poet uses sarcastic language to reveal the reactionary nature of the "tourists" without missing a beat, thus showing the poet's anger.
The first sentence of the poem "Beyond the mountains are green mountains and buildings are outside the buildings", which means that there are green mountains outside the mountains and tall buildings outside the buildings. The poet captured the characteristics of Lin'an City-overlapping green hills and row upon row of towers. This first describes the great mountains and rivers of the motherland, the rolling green hills, and the pavilions one after another. What a beautiful nature this is. From the perspective of poetry creation, the poet describes the beauty of mountains and rivers, showing a happy scene.
2. Spring title on the lake (Tang Dynasty) Bai Juyi
Spring on the lake looks like a painting, with chaotic peaks surrounding it.
The surface of Songpai Mountain is covered with thousands of greens, and the moon is dotted with a pearl in its heart.
The threads of the green carpet draw early rice, and the green nepotism shows the new crop.
If you can’t leave Hangzhou, half of it is this lake.
Appreciation: This is a famous poem about the spring scenery of West Lake in Hangzhou. The author was appointed governor of Hangzhou in July of the second year of Changqing's reign (AD 822) by Li Heng, Emperor Mu Zong of the Tang Dynasty. He took office in October and left Hangzhou at the end of May of the fourth year of Changqing's reign to take up his post in Luoyang. This poem was written on the eve of the author's resignation as the governor of Hangzhou, probably in the spring of the fourth year of Changqing's reign in the Tang Dynasty (AD 824). The author's stay in Hangzhou was about to expire and he was about to leave.
In order to escape the political vortex of fierce party disputes in the imperial court at that time, Bai Juyi asked to go to Hangzhou. The subsequent poems cannot help but reveal the relaxed and happy mood of leaving the place of right and wrong. This poem is about returning home at the end of the term, which breeds a feeling of regret and farewell.
3. Recalling Jiangnan (Tang Dynasty) Bai Juyi
Jiangnan is good, and the scenery is familiar to me. When the sun rises, the flowers on the river are as red as fire, and when spring comes, the river is as green as blue. Can you not remember Jiangnan?
When I recall the south of the Yangtze River, Hangzhou is the most memorable. Looking for osmanthus seeds in the middle of the moon in the mountain temple, watching the tide on the pillow in the county pavilion. When will we visit again?
I recall Jiangnan, and then I recall Wu Palace. A cup of Wu wine with spring bamboo leaves, Wu Wa dances with drunken hibiscus. Will we meet again sooner or later?
Appreciation: Bai Juyi once served as the governor of Hangzhou and stayed in Hangzhou for two years. Later, he served as the governor of Suzhou and served for more than a year. In his youth, he roamed the south of the Yangtze River and lived in Suzhou and Hangzhou. It should be said that he had a good understanding of the south of the Yangtze River, so the south of the Yangtze River left a deep impression on him.
When he resigned from the post of governor of Suzhou due to illness and returned to Luoyang twelve years later, when he was sixty-seven years old, he wrote these three poems recalling Jiangnan, which shows that the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan is still vivid in his heart.
