From Wang Dongting written by Liu Yuxi in Tang Dynasty.
The lake and the moon set each other off, and there is no wind mirror on the pool surface.
Looking at Dongting from a distance, there is a green snail in the silver plate.

This is a landscape poem written by the poet looking at Dongting Lake, which is clear and meaningful. The first sentence is about the blending of water and moonlight, which shows that the lake is vast and distant. This should be the scene at dusk. It's not dark yet, but the moon has come out. If it is dark, you can't see the fusion of the two colors. The second sentence uses the metaphor of a mirror to show the calm of the lake at night, because the sun has set and the lake is not reflective, just like a mirror is dull without polishing. The third sentence is about the green of Junshan Mountain in Wangyuan Lake. The "landscape" here actually refers to the mountain, that is, Junshan in the lake. The usage of "scenery" belongs to the usage of "compound words with partial meanings" in ancient Chinese. The fourth sentence uses another metaphor, comparing Junshan floating in the water to a green snail on a silver plate. The whole poem is pure scenery, detailed description, vivid metaphor and interesting reading.
Dongting Lake is crystal clear under the bright moon in autumn. It is an ethereal, ethereal, quiet and harmonious realm, just like Qiongtian met. This is the poetry contained in the sentence "the lake and the moon are in harmony". The word "harmony" has been refined, showing a harmonious picture of water and sky, jade and dust-free, and it seems to convey to readers the rhythm of a water town night-the rhythm of moonlight rippling and lake huffing and puffing. Next, the lake is described as calm and misty, like an unpolished bronze mirror. The word "the mirror is not polished" vividly and aptly shows the peaceful and gentle scene of a thousand miles of caves, and there is a hazy beauty in the moonlight. "There is no wind on the surface of the pool, and the mirror is not polished" complements the poem "moonlight on the lake" with vivid metaphors. Because only "there is no wind on the pool surface", the water waves are calm, and the lake and the moon can be coordinated. Otherwise, the lake is noisy and the waves are empty, and the lake light and autumn moon are not interesting, so there will be no "two-phase harmony".
