Bai Juyi was a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty. Next, I will compile Bai Juyi’s ancient poems about the West Lake for everyone. I hope it will be helpful to everyone!
"Spring on the Lake"
Tang Dynasty: Bai Juyi
Spring on the lake is 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 are picking up the early rice, and the green nepotism is showing the new crop.
If you can’t leave Hangzhou, half of it is this lake.
Translation
The spring of West Lake is like an intoxicating landscape painting. The lake surface, surrounded by mountains on three sides, is as green as a mirror and as level as a mirror. On the peaks, pine trees are densely packed all over the mountain surface, and the thousands of mountains and peaks look green. A full moon is reflected in the water, like a bright pearl, crystal clear, dancing and suspended.
When the early rice is born, it looks like a huge green carpet covered with thick velvet threads; the cattail leaf cloak is like a group of ribbons fluttering on a girl. A fresh landscape painting appeared before his eyes, and the poet couldn't help but praise the scenery of West Lake. The spring scenery is so beautiful that the author is reluctant to leave Hangzhou and return to Beijing. Half of the reason is that he can't bear to part with the picturesque West Lake.
Notes
① Luanfeng: jagged peaks.
② Songpai Mountain: Refers to the many pine trees on the mountain.
③ Moon point wave center: The moon is reflected in the water.
④ The early rice is picking up on the threads of the green blanket, and the new cattail sprouts are growing on the skirt of Qingluo: the early rice in the field is jointing and heading, like the threads on the green blanket; the new leaves of calamus growing by the river are like the threads on the skirt. streamers.
⑤ To stay: to linger.
"Farewell at the West Lake"
Tang Dynasty: Bai Juyi
The journey was miserable and windy, and the ancestral tent was separated from the sound of the orchestra. Cui Dai does not need to stay with Wu Ma,
Huang En is only allowed to stay for three years. Singing mats are spread under the shade of green vines, and prostitute boats are moored among red lotus flowers.
I look back in love everywhere, but the hardest part is the lakeside.
"Spring Journey to Qiantang Lake"
Tang Dynasty: Bai Juyi
North of Gushan Temple and west of Jiating, 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 gradually charming the eyes, and only Asakusa has no horse hooves.
My favorite part of the lake is the east side of the lake, the white sand embankment in the shade of green poplars
Translation
Walk to the north of Gushan Temple and the west of Jia Gong Pavilion. Stop for a while and look up into the distance. , but the water surface is rising, the white clouds are hanging low, and the scenery is boundless.
Several orioles are flying to the sunny trees first, and whose swallows are bringing spring mud to build new nests?
The flowers are colorful, almost charming, and the wild grass is green, just covering the horse's hooves.
The scenery on the east side of the lake is unforgettable. The most lovely thing is the white sand embankment shaded by green poplars.

⑴ Qiantang Lake: the West Lake in Hangzhou.

Gushan: Located between the inner and outer lakes of West Lake, it is called Gushan because it is not connected to other mountains. There is Gushan Pavilion on it, which overlooks the panoramic view of West Lake. Jia Ting: Also called Jia Gong Ting. It is one of the scenic spots in West Lake and was built by Jia Quan of the Tang Dynasty. During the Zhenyuan period of Tang Dynasty (785-805 reign of Emperor Dezong of Tang Dynasty), Jia Quan served as the governor of Hangzhou and built a pavilion at Qiantang Lake. Known as "Jia Ting" or "Jia Gong Pavilion", the pavilion was built in the late Tang Dynasty.

Chu: used as an adverb in ancient Chinese, often used to express time, which means soon. The clouds have low feet: white clouds overlap one another and are connected with the waves on the lake. It seems that the floating clouds are very low, so it is said that the clouds have low feet.
