Poseidon returned to the evil wind, and the waves hit the stone walls of Tianmen.
What is August like in Zhejiang? Tao is like a mountain spraying snow!
It seems that after Poseidon's arrival, there was another bad wind. Huge waves beat Tianmen Mountain and opened the stone wall of the mountain gate. Can the tide in Zhejiang in August compare with the wind and waves here? The waves are like continuous peaks spraying snowflakes.
"Poseidon has returned to the evil wind, and the waves hit the stone walls of Tianmen", and "Poseidon" refers to the tide.

"Zhejiang in August? Tao seems to be spraying snow on the mountain! " The word "Zhejiang August" is very puzzling. The poem is about Jiangdong, and the reason why I want to go to Zhejiang is actually just to show how big the waves in Hengjiang are with the tide in Zhejiang. August of the lunar calendar is the most spectacular time of Zhejiang Tide, and the degree of danger is unusual. The waves after the tide in Hengjiang River can rival Zhejiang Tide. It can be seen that Li Bai has seen Zhejiang Tide, and he picked it up at will without a trace. The last sentence, "Taosishan spraying snow", describes the danger of surging.
This poem, entitled "Writing Scenery", is really written to the heart, showing everywhere Li Bai's longing for going north and his melancholy and anxiety that he could not cross the river in bad weather. The whole poem is rich in imagination and magnificent in artistic conception, which fully embodies the romantic characteristics of Li Bai's poems.
