The poem describing the West Lake is as follows:
1. "Spring Tour to Qiantang Lake" by Bai Juyi of the Tang Dynasty
To the north of Gushan Temple and to the west of Jia Pavilion, the water surface is flat at the feet of clouds. Low. In several places, early orioles compete for warmth in the trees, while new swallows peck at the spring mud. The random flowers are gradually charming the eyes, and only Asakusa has no horse hooves. My favorite part of the lake is the east side of the lake, where the green poplar trees shade the white sand embankment.
2. "Picking mulberry seeds, the West Lake is good after the flowers are fragrant" Ouyang Xiu, Song Dynasty
The West Lake is good after the flowers are fragrant, but the wolf is red. The flying catkins are misty. The weeping willows lining the stem are exposed to the sun's wind. After the music and songs have dispersed, the tourists have gone, only to feel the spring sky. Drop the curtains. The two swallows return in the drizzle.
3. "Picking Mulberries·The West Lake is good after the lotus blooms" Song Dynasty Ouyang Xiu
The West Lake is good after the lotus flowers bloom, and when the wine comes. No flags required. There are red buildings and green roofs in front and behind. The painting boat is pushed into the depths of the flowers, and the fragrance is golden. There is a slight mist and rain. Returning drunk with music and singing.
4. "Spring Inscription on the Lake" by Bai Juyi of the Tang Dynasty
Spring on the lake looks like a painted picture, with chaotic peaks surrounding it. The surface of Songpai Mountain is covered with thousands of greens, and the moon is dotted with a pearl in its heart. The threads of the green carpet draw early rice, and the green nepotism shows the new crop. I couldn't leave Hangzhou, but half of my stay was this lake.
5. "Picking Mulberry·Who knows how to appreciate the beauty of the West Lake" Ouyang Xiu of the Song Dynasty
Who knows how to appreciate the beauty of the West Lake? There is no time for beautiful scenery. Flying covers chase each other. Greedy and drunk among the flowers. Unexpectedly, the fragrant grass glows slantingly in the corridor. The water is far away and the smoke is faint. A little Cangzhou egret flies.
