Original text:
It is the scenery of the West Lake in June, which is really different from other seasons.
Lotus leaves will not turn green the next day, and lotus flowers are particularly bright red in the sun.
Appreciate:
The beauty of the West Lake has always been described by literati, and this song by Yang Wanli has been passed down through the ages with its unique technique, which is worth savoring. The poet stopped at the West Lake in June to bid farewell to his friend Lin Zifang, and the whole poem expressed his deep affection for his friends by praising the beauty of the West Lake to the extreme. The poet began by saying that the scenery of the West Lake in June is different from that of the four seasons. These two simple poems show that the scenery of the West Lake in June is different from other seasons, which is enough to make people want to stay. Then, the poet painted a beautiful picture of red and green for the reader with sentences full of strong color contrast: the green lotus leaves rushed to the horizon, making people feel as if they were in endless green; And the beautiful lotus, in the sun, is more gorgeous. This transformation in the sketch, although ups and downs, has no sense of suddenness.
