The lake and the moon set each other off, and there is no wind mirror on the pool surface.

1, the creative background of Wang Dongting
Wang Dongting was written in the autumn of 824, the fourth year of Changqing. In 20 years, Liu Yuxi was exiled to the south and went to Dongting. According to the literature, it can be tested about six times. Among them, only the state is transferred, this time, in autumn. And this poem is a vivid record of this trip.
2. Appreciation of Wang Dongting
The poem focuses on the word "Wang", "water and moon blend" and "the lake is as level as a mirror", which you see at close range; "Dongting Landscape" and "Like a Green Snail" are both from afar. Although they are all written in hope, the difference is obvious. The close-up is wonderful and unique; The vision is fascinating and wonderful. The pool surface is like a mirror, the lake surface is like a plate, and Junshan is like a snail.
The silver plate and the green snail set each other off, and the bright moon and the lake light set each other off, making the scenery more harmonious and complement each other. Junshan, described by the poet, is like a beautiful jade inlaid on Dongting Lake in the mirror. Its words are also very precise.
