Interpretation: I can't leave Hangzhou and go elsewhere, half of the reason is because I miss West Lake.
From Tang Dynasty poet Bai Juyi's "Spring on the Lake", the original poem is as follows:
The arrival of spring on the lake is like a painted picture, with chaotic peaks surrounding the horizon.
Vernacular: When spring comes, the lake looks like a picture. Surrounded by peaks, the water surface is flat.
The surface of Songpai Mountain is covered with thousands of greens, and the moon is dotted with a pearl in its heart.
Vernacular text: Pine trees line up layers of green on the mountain, and the moon points out a bright pearl towards the center of the wave.
The threads of the green carpet draw early rice, and the green nepotism shows the new crop.
Vernacular: The green pile of the blanket is the long early rice, and the green skirt ribbon is the stretched new cattail.
If you can’t leave Hangzhou, half of it is this lake.
Vernacular: I can’t leave Hangzhou and go elsewhere, half of the reason is because I miss West Lake.

Appreciation:
This is a poem describing the spring scenery of West Lake in Hangzhou. The first six sentences of this poem describe scenery, highlighting the word "green", and the last two sentences describe emotions, highlighting the word "love", so as to express emotions through scenery and blend the scenes. The whole poem is not only tortuous and euphemistic in structure, but also deepens the purpose of the poem through the use of scenery.
Spring in West Lake is like an intoxicating landscape painting. Surrounded by mountains on three sides, the lake surface is green and blue, 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 is like a huge green carpet; the cattail leaf cloak is like a group of ribbons fluttering on a girl. A fresh landscape painting appeared in front of him, and the poet couldn't help but praise the scenery of West Lake.
