"Spring Journey to Qiantang Lake"
Bai Juyi of the Tang Dynasty
Gushan Temple To the west of Beijiating, 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 becoming more and more charming, and only in Asakusa can there be no horseshoes. My favorite part of the lake is the east side of the lake, where there are green poplar shades and a white sand embankment.
The middle four sentences carefully describe the scenery seen during the spring trip to the West Lake. The images are vivid, the scenery embodies the emotions, and it accurately and vividly expresses the liveliness, interest and elegance of natural things. The whole poem has a rigorous structure, natural connection, exquisite dialogue, simple language, accurate word choice, and fresh temperament. It has become a famous poem about the West Lake in the past dynasties.
Translation:
From the north of Gushan Temple to the west of Jia Ting, the spring water on the lake has just reached the level of the embankment, and the white clouds hang low, connecting with the lake. A few orioles that came out early rushed to fly to the sunny trees, while the newly arrived swallows were busy building nests and carrying mud.
The numerous flowers gradually bloomed, dazzling people's eyes, and the shallow green grass was just enough to cover the horses' hooves. My favorite scenery in the east of the lake is that I never tire of visiting it. Rows of willows pass through a white sand embankment in the shade.
