Original poem:
Two Poems of Drinking Rain on Lake Chuqing Song Dynasty: Su Shi
The water is bright and sunny, and the mountains are cloudy and rainy. (Meng)
If there are more dead beauties in the West Lake, C+ is so appropriate.
Explanation:
In the bright sunshine, the water in the West Lake is sparkling and beautiful. On rainy days, under the cover of rain curtain, the mountains around the West Lake are foggy, and if there is anything, it is wonderful.
If the West Lake is compared to the beautiful scenery of the past, light makeup is very suitable.
Extended data:
Su Shi was a general of Hangzhou from four to seven years in Xining, Song Shenzong (1071-kloc-0/074), and wrote a lot of poems describing the scenery of the West Lake. This group of poems was written in the sixth year of Xining (1073).
One day, Su Shi and his friends were drinking by the West Lake. It was sunny at first, but it soon turned cloudy and began to rain. In this way, before drinking, the poet fully enjoyed the two completely different scenery of the West Lake, sunny and rainy.
So the poet praised: the West Lake on a sunny day is sparkling and dazzling, which just shows the beautiful scenery; On rainy days, the West Lake is hazy in the mountains, showing another wonderful scenery.
Rain or shine, the West Lake is always beautiful. I think it is best to compare the West Lake to learning Chinese characters. The color of the mountain is her elegant decoration, and the water is her rich powder. No matter how she dresses up, she can always bring out her natural beauty and charming charm.
The first two sentences of this poem are descriptions: the description of water on sunny days and mountains on rainy days, which shows the beauty of the scenery of the West Lake and the changeable characteristics of sunny days and rainy days from two landforms and two kinds of weather. It is concrete and vivid, with a high degree of artistic generality, so that some people commented that many ancient poems on the West Lake were swept away by these two sentences.
The last two sentences are metaphors: between heaven and earth, human beings are the most spiritual; Among human beings, calligraphy is the most beautiful. On the basis of the description of the first two sentences, compare the West Lake to a stunning beauty stone, saying that it is as beautiful as the stone, not to mention the light makeup or heavy makeup that is carefully dressed!
However, writing about the beauty of the West Lake is not the whole mystery of this metaphor. Some women in history are as famous as writing. Why do poets compare Xizi to the West Lake?
This is because, in addition to her beauty, Xizi has two unique similarities with the West Lake: First, Xizi's hometown is not far from the West Lake and belongs to the land of ancient Yue; Second, both the West Lake and the West Lake have the word "West" on their heads, which sounds natural. For these reasons, Su Shi's wonderful metaphor won the praise of later generations, and the West Lake is also known as Xizi Lake.
This poem is very general. It is not a description of a scene or a scene of the West Lake, but a comprehensive evaluation of its beautiful scenery. The spread of this poem adds luster to the scenery of the West Lake and expresses the author's love for the West Lake.
