translate
Walking out of the West Lake in the morning, you can see the waning moon hanging high in the sky last night. I accompanied my friends through the lotus pond surrounded by green trees and walked on the path of willow trees. In such a cool and cloudy world with red flowers everywhere, we walked through Nanshan and bypassed Beishan.
The scenery of the West Lake in June is different from other seasons: the dense lotus leaves spread layer by layer, connected with the blue sky, and endless green; Graceful lotus flowers are in full bloom, especially bright and red under the sunshine.

Creation background

Yang Wanli, then the subordinate supervisor of the secretary and the assistant of the prince, was Lin Zifang's superior and good friend. They often get together to talk about the idea of strengthening the country and resisting gold, and also discuss poetry and literature together. They share the same interests and regard each other as bosom friends.
Later, Lin Zifang was transferred from the emperor's side to work in Fuzhou, and the position was well known. Lin Zifang is very happy and thinks that she is a career promotion. Yang Wanli doesn't think so. When sending Lin Zifang to Fuzhou, he wrote this poem to persuade Lin Zifang not to go to Fuzhou. ?
