The poem recommended to you today is a seven-character poem by Bai Juyi, "Looking back at the Gushan Temple in West Lake at night and giving it to guests". This poem was written by Bai Juyi when he was appointed as the secretariat of Hangzhou, and he went to the Gushan Temple in the West Lake to listen to a monk's lecture. It mainly vividly depicts the beautiful scenery around Gushan Temple and reveals the poet's love for the beautiful scenery of the West Lake. Write a scene in the whole poem, just like being there.
"West Lake will return late, and we will pay a visit to Gushan Temple later."
On the lonely mountain near the West Lake, there is a lonely mountain temple. After listening to Buddhist scriptures at night, I go back to learn from them.
Because it rains mostly in Shandong, the fruit is heavy and low, and the palm leaves are whipped by the breeze.
The water vapor on the lake, the turbulence of microwave and the color of water are seen at the bottom of the Pearl Hall, staggered and reflected in the sunset.
Back to the other side, please look back. Gushan Temple seems like Penglai Palace in the mountains, located in the center of the water.
In the first sentence of the poem, "Lotus Temple in Liuhudong Road", Bai Juyi explained that the specific place to listen to the monk's lecture was the Gushan Temple on the lonely mountain in the West Lake. "Liu Hu", West Lake, surrounded by weeping willows. "Song Dao", an isolated mountain, comes from the mountain standing in the lake. Lotus Temple, also known as Gushan Temple, is described as beautiful because the lotus flowers in the lake are in full bloom. So seeing this poem is like enjoying the panoramic view of the West Lake.
The second sentence, "I moved back to the Dojo late", means that I am going home by boat after listening to the monk's lecture in the evening. According to the first two sentences of this poem, Bai Juyi first described the panoramic view of the West Lake, including the rippling lake, weeping willows hidden on the shore, blooming lotus flowers and mountains standing in the lake. Then two scenes are described at the same time, that is, the boatman in the lake is shaking the "return radius" to receive guests home, and the poet is leaving the Dojo to prepare for "returning late". It can be seen that its hierarchy is clear, and the master and slave are orderly, which makes people feel immersive.
Three or four sentences, "Lushan Mountain is low and rainy, palm leaves are cool", describe what Bai Juyi saw on his way home. Oranges are the fruits of loquat and palm leaves are palm leaves. After Shan Yu, oranges became heavier and drooped because of the rain, while palm leaves flapped with the wind and water. The word "heavy" not only describes the fruit of loquat, but also shows Bai Juyi's love for this scenery. The word "cool" not only describes the cool water, but also shows Bai Juyi's good mood.
Five or six sentences, "the smoke is vast and the sky is blue, and the hall reflects the sunset", are what Bai Juyi saw when he arrived on the boat. At this time, the West Lake is foggy and blue, and the blue lake is full of sky. Looking back at the hall on the lonely mountain, the setting sun shines. From these two poems, we can imagine what a magnificent scene this is. It's like being in a fairyland.
The last two sentences, "Please look back when you go ashore, Penglai Palace is in the middle of the sea", are Bai Juyi's conversations with "guests" from the ship to the shore. Please look back and see if Gushan Temple is located in the water like Penglai Palace in fairyland. These two issues made it clear that the topic was "Looking back at the lonely mountain and giving it to all the guests". At the same time, there is Penglai Pavilion in Gushan Temple, which is connected with Penglai Palace by poets, making the whole Gushan Temple rich in poetic landscape and infinite charm.
On the whole, this poem by Bai Juyi can be said to be beautiful and emotional. After reading it, it seems to be immersive and fascinating.
