Introduction:
Meng Haoran, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, famously wrote the classic poem "Clouds are foggy and hazy, trapping Yueyang", which depicts the magnificent scenery of Dongting Lake. Dongting Lake, located in the north of Hunan Province, is the second largest freshwater lake in China.
Zhang Bao of Dongting Lake is the work of Meng Haoran, a poet in Tang Dynasty. This poem is a gift, which expresses the poet's hope that Zhang Jiuling will quote it by describing Dongting Lake's sigh in the face of the mighty waves and its feelings in the face of the deep sea.
The first four sentences are about the magnificent sight and momentum of Dongting Lake, and the last four sentences are about expressing one's political enthusiasm and hope. The whole poem looks forward to the prosperity of Dongting Lake, from "if you want to cross, there is no boat to find". For Dongting Lake, which was originally a form of expression, a large number of paintings, like splash-ink landscapes, show the vast and magnificent landscape of Dongting Lake in 800 miles.
It has achieved a soul-stirring artistic effect, making this poem actually a masterpiece of landscapes.
Dongting Lake, formerly known as Yunmeng, Jiujiang and Chonghu, is located on the south bank of Jingjiang River in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, spanning Yueyang, Guluo, Xiangyin, Wangcheng, Yiyang, Yuanjiang, Hanshou, Changde, Tianjin, Anxiang and Nanxian counties and cities. The name of Dongting Lake began in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and it was named after Dongting Mountain (now Junshan Mountain) in the lake.
Dongting Lake receives water from Songzi, Taiping, ouchi and Diaoxian counties of the Yangtze River, connects with four small tributaries of Hunan, Zi, Yuan and Li in the south and west, and flows into the Yangtze River from Chenglingji, Yueyang City.
