Ouyang Xiu's poem about Fuyang is as follows:
The West Lake in Yingzhou is crooked, and the light of the vast lake is scattered. Walking by the lake, the spring breeze blows coolly on your face, which is pleasing to the eye and makes you feel refreshed. The green willow trees are blowing in the sky, and the top of the antique pagoda is there. ?
The boat is sailing in the middle of the lake, and people are leisurely leaning on the railing, singing and laughing. The sky is filled with colorful clouds and the wild geese are flying south in a hurry. Small islands are clustered in the distance, and fishing boats sing in the sunset. Yingzhou West Lake is so beautiful that it makes you intoxicated and forget to leave. Such a beautiful scene is unforgettable, refreshing and leaves a wonderful memory.
