Su Causeway Chunxiao is a landscape poem written by Ruan Yuan in Qing Dynasty, which describes the Su Causeway of West Lake.
Ruan Yuan (1764-1849), born in Yizheng, Jiangsu Province, was a scholar in 54 years. He was the governor of Zhejiang, Jiangxi and Henan, the governor of Huguang, Guangdong and Guangxi, and the governor of Yungui. Later, he was recalled to Beijing, where he was a college student, and he managed the affairs of the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of War. After becoming an official, he was promoted to the rank of Prince Taibao.
Ruan Yuan is not only a politician with political achievements, but also a knowledgeable park scholar, especially proficient in Confucian classics, and has made achievements in history, primary school and epigraphy. This poem he wrote describes that at dawn, the moon hangs obliquely on the north peak, and the moonlight blends with the dawn, which makes the sky at dawn and the lake light in Shili show a faint bluish white, and the peach blossom blown by the east wind is particularly bright and dazzling.
Appreciation of "Su Causeway Chunxiao":
This poem is good at capturing the unique scenery of the lake sky at the moment when the moonlight is not over and the dawn is dawning, writing its hazy beauty, and embellishing it with the bright red color of peach, which makes the scenery of the West Lake in this specific time vividly presented to readers.
Although the whole poem is only 28 words, it contains rich contents. In terms of specific things, it describes the mountain peak, the moon wheel, the West Lake and the sky, so that from the sky to the ground, the weather is very broad and the three-dimensional sense is very strong, which makes the picture stand out; In terms of time, it wrote a spring dawn; From the weather, I wrote a sunny morning in early spring when it was warm and cold at first; They * * * weave together to form a unique scenery of spring dawn in Su Causeway.
the picture is filled with a vast and fascinating scenery. The peach blossom marked in the last sentence is embedded with a little red in this vast bluish white, which makes this scene vivid and makes people strongly feel the unique vitality when spring comes, giving people beauty and strength.
