Bai Juyi
From the north side of Gushan Temple to the west side of Jiating, the lake is just level with the embankment, with low clouds and waves on the lake.
Several early orioles raced to the sunny tree, and their new swallows were carrying mud in their nests.
Flowers are more and more attractive, and shallow grass can be without horseshoes.
I love the lack of lakes in the eastbound direction and the white sand embankment in under the greenwood tree.
Note Qiantang Lake: West Lake in Hangzhou. Gushan Temple: An ancient temple on Gushan Mountain. Initial leveling of water surface: In spring, the lake rises and the water surface is even with the shore. Cloud foot: a floating cloud near the ground. Fighting for warm trees: fighting for trees gathered in the sun. Miscellaneous flowers: all kinds of bright and open flowers in spring. Insufficient travel: insufficient travel, that is, repeated travel. Baisha dike: Also known as Bai Causeway, it is a long dike in the West Lake, which divides the West Lake into an inner lake and an outer lake.
This poem was written in the spring of the third year of Changqing (823). The poet strolled around the West Lake in Hangzhou in early spring and made a detailed description of the scenery of the West Lake. The whole poem closely follows the word "spring outing" to describe the scenery, which is constantly moving. Looking at the lake in a lonely mountain, water dissolves in spring. Walking around, I saw warblers vying for warm trees and swallows pecking at spring mud. And this kind of "contention" and "pecking" adds poetry to the hustle and bustle of spring. Along the road are charming bright flowers and shallow grass with horseshoes hidden, full of spring and vitality. The word "line" at the end of the poem is done. He walked from the lonely mountain to Bai Causeway, but he didn't think enough about the scenery in the east of the lake. He lamented the weeping willows and green trees on the white sand embankment, and the word "most" showed that he was intoxicated with the spring scenery and admired the lingering spring scenery. Poetry is tightly structured, fluent in language and full of joyful feelings.
