Ouyang xiu? Song dynasty
The canoe is shorter than the West Lake, and the green water is winding. Grass on the long beach is fun everywhere.
When there is no wind, the glass slides on the water and the boat will not move. Slightly rippled, sand birds began to skim the coast.

The scenery of the West Lake is beautiful, and how leisurely it is to drive a boat and paddle. The green lake stretches on and on. The long embankment is covered with green grass, and there is a soft song in the spring breeze, like floating on the lake with the boat.
The windless water is as smooth as glass, and even the ship can't feel it moving. I saw a slight water wave rippling beside the boat, and the waterfowl that was awakened by the boat was flying over the shore of the lake.
