Interpretation If the West Lake is compared to the beautiful scenery of the past, light makeup is very appropriate.
original text
The water is bright and sunny, and the mountains are cloudy and rainy.
If there are more dead beauties in the West Lake, C+ is so appropriate.
To annotate ...
Lake: West Lake in Hangzhou.
Li à n: The way water waves and lights flash.
Fang Hao: It looks beautiful.
Empty Meng: the drizzle is confused.
Xi Zi: She was a famous beauty of Yue State in the Spring and Autumn Period, formerly known as Shi Yiguang, also known as the first of the four ancient beauties. I live in the west of Huanshaxi Village (now Zhuji City, Zhejiang Province), so people call me Shi.
Fit: It looks beautiful, too.
The extended information "learning Chinese characters" is the famous beauty stone of Yue State in the Spring and Autumn Period. Whether it is elegant makeup or dressing up, Shi is equally beautiful and moving; If the West Lake is compared to beauty, it is equally beautiful whether it is sunny or rainy, winter or spring.
Metaphoring the West Lake with stunning beauty not only gives life to the beauty of the West Lake, but also is novel, unique and meaningful. Everyone knows that she is a beautiful woman, but how beautiful she is only exists in her own mind. And isn't the beauty of the West Lake the same? Compared with direct description, I don't know how much pen and ink is saved in this way, but its significance is much richer and deeper. It attracts readers not only feelings, but also thinking, allowing readers to play the connotation of poetry through their own imagination.
