The water is bright and sunny, and the mountains are cloudy and rainy.

As can be seen from the title, the poet likes drinking in the West Lake. It was sunny at first, and then it rained. He likes two different views. He said: when the weather is good, the West Lake is clear and sparkling, and the scenery is just right; When it rains, the green hills around the West Lake are misty, and as if nothing had happened, it presents another wonderful scenery. "Rolling", the waves are flashing. "Empty", misty rain confused. These two words are rhyming words, which enhance the musicality of poetic language.

Here, the poet wrote about lakes and mountains; There are both sunny and rainy scenes, which can be said to be very rich. But from another point of view, it is very general, because these two sentences are not only applicable to the West Lake. Actually, this is the beauty of the poet's brushwork. The West Lake is beautiful, but I'm afraid no one can tell exactly where it is and how beautiful it is. If you describe the scenery in detail, there may be some wonderful sentences, but they are always too real and specific to convey the overall impression of the West Lake. Su Shi's two sentences are very artistic, vivid and imaginative, and express the feeling of "the West Lake is beautiful" in poetic language. At the same time, these two sentences also reflect the poet's broad-minded and adaptive temperament.

If you want to compare the West Lake to the West Lake, heavy makeup is always appropriate.

"Xizi" is the famous beauty stone of Yue in the Spring and Autumn Period. Whether it is light makeup or dressing up, Shi is equally beautiful and moving; If the West Lake is compared to beauty, it is equally beautiful whether it is sunny or rainy, winter or spring.

Metaphoring the West Lake with stunning beauty not only gives life to the beauty of the West Lake, but also is novel, unique and meaningful. Everyone knows that she is a beautiful woman, but how beautiful she is only exists in her own mind. And isn't the beauty of the West Lake the same? Compared with direct description, I don't know how much pen and ink is saved in this way, but its significance is much richer and deeper. It attracts readers not only feelings, but also thinking, allowing readers to play the connotation of poetry through their own imagination. This wonderful metaphor was called "the best of the West Lake" by the Song people, so that "Xizi Lake" became another name for the West Lake. It is no wonder that later poets put pen to paper: "What can compare with the West Lake except light makeup and heavy sentences?"
