The light of the lake and the moon are harmonious, and there is no goggle on the surface of the pool that has not been polished.
Looking at the Dongting landscape from a distance, there is a green snail in the silver plate.
Translation:
The moonlight and water color blend together on Dongting Lake, and the lake is as calm as an unpolished bronze mirror. Looking from afar, the mountains and waters of Dongting Lake are as green as ink, like green snails held in a white silver plate.
2. "Little Pond" was written by Yang Wanli, a writer in the Song Dynasty. The full text of the poem is as follows:
The spring is silent and cherishes the trickle, and the shade of the tree shines on the water, loving the clear and soft water.
The little lotus has just revealed its sharp corners, and a dragonfly has already stood on it.
Translation:
The spring is silent because it is reluctant to let go of the thin water, and the shadow of the trees reflects on the water surface because it loves the sunny weather and the gentle wind. As soon as the delicate little lotus leaf revealed its sharp corners from the water, there was already a naughty little dragonfly standing on it.
3. The author of "Drinking on the Lake at First Sunny and Later Rain" is Su Shi, a writer from the Song Dynasty. The full text of the poem is as follows:
The clear sky is beautiful when the water is shining, but the mountains are also strange when they are empty and covered with rain.
If you want to compare the West Lake to the West, it is always better to put on light makeup and heavy makeup.
Translation:
On a sunny day, the water of the West Lake is rippling, shining in the sun, and it is extremely beautiful. When it rains, the mountains in the distance are shrouded in mist and rain, appearing and disappearing, and the eyes are confused. This hazy scenery is also very beautiful. If the beautiful West Lake is compared to the beauty Xi Tzu, then whether it is light makeup or heavy makeup, it can always well highlight her natural beauty and charming charm.

Can we not remember Jiangnan?
