1. The spring tide of Qiantang River has been called the wonder of the world since ancient times.
a spectacle refers to a magnificent, beautiful and rare sight or an exceptionally rare thing. The Qiantang River has a long history of watching tides. During the Warring States Period, Zhuangzi wrote in the South China Classic: The water of Zhejiang, Taoshan rolling house, whether lightning strikes or not, has the potential to swallow the sky and the sun. This is the earliest record of Qiantang River in history. The custom of watching the tide originated from the Han, Wei and Six Dynasties, and formed the wind of watching the tide in the Tang Dynasty, which was followed to the Song Dynasty with unprecedented pomp. Many literati in the past dynasties have described the spectacular scenes and customs of watching tides in Qian Jiangchao.
2. After a while, the noise became louder and louder. I saw a white line in the east where the water meets the sky, and the crowd boiled again.
a white line appears, which means that the river tide is coming from a distance. At this time, the broad tidal head stirred up a white splash, which looked like a white line from a distance. Yang Wanli, a poet in the Song Dynasty, compared this white line to a white jade belt on the Qiantang River in the poem "Silver is a country in the sea and jade is a waist in the river".
3. Closer, I saw white waves rolling, forming a water wall more than two feet high.
Zhang is a unit of length, and 1 Zhang is about 3.33 meters. In this paper, the water wave is compared to the water wall to describe the height and range of the tidal wave.
