What does the ancient poem "Looking at Zhejiang Pottery" mean?

Viewing Zhejiang Tao is the work of Xu Ning, a poet in the Tang Dynasty. He expressed his love for the spectacle of Qiantang River spring tide by describing it. Zhejiang Tao is the spring tide of Qiantang River, the largest river in China. Because of its twists and turns, it is called Jiangsu and Zhejiang, also known as Zhejiang.

Original text:

Zhejiang has a long green west coast, and the stormy waves are overturned day and night. Look at the influx of people in Qiantang, Li Guo, until baldness is not enough.

Translation:

Qiantang River slowly flows into the East China Sea, and the west of the East China Sea is rippling. The tide in Qiantang River has risen twice day and night. The hipsters in Qiantangbao haven't seen enough from birth to old age.

Tide watching custom

Every year on the 15th day of the eighth lunar month, the tidal bore of Qiantang River is the largest, and the tidal head can reach several meters. On August 18 of the lunar calendar, the water army inspected the Qiantang River and then observed it as a festival. In addition to the tide-watching festival around August 18 of the lunar calendar, there are quite large tides at the beginning and middle of each month in the lunar calendar, which can be used as a "tide-chasing tour".

Around the Mid-Autumn Festival, guests from all directions flocked to watch the wonders of Qian Jiangchao with unprecedented pomp. Or rush to the river bank at the high tide at the beginning of the year, hurting the tide watchers. Yan Guan Scenic Spot in Haining, 50 kilometers away from Hangzhou, is the best place to watch the tide.

In ancient Hangzhou, the Phoenix Mountain and Jianggan area were the best places to watch the tide. Due to the change of geographical location, Yan Guan in Haining has been the first scenic spot to watch the tide since the Ming Dynasty, so it is also called "Watching the Tide in Haining". "Qianjiang Tao Qiu" is famous at home and abroad, and it was popular as early as the Tang and Song Dynasties. On the day of tide-watching, especially in the days around August 18 of the lunar calendar, there were cars and people on the road.

Overlooking the bell mouth of Qiantang River, the tide forms turbulent waves, just like Malik galloping. When the sandbar of the riverbed near Ganpu is blocked, the tidal wave rises by three to five meters, and the tidal range is as high as nine to ten meters. There is indeed a trend of "the sky is full of turbid waves and the rivers and mountains are destroyed".

Different places can enjoy different tidal scenes: the tower sees the "first-line tide", the babao sees the "confluence tide", and the old salt warehouse can enjoy the "ebb tide".
