The poems describing the lake are as follows:
Spring Trip to Qiantang Lake-Tang Bai Juyi
The Gushan Temple is north of Jiating West, and the water level is flat and the feet of clouds are low. Several early orioles competed to fly to the warm trees of the sun, whose new swallows carry mud in their nest.
flowers are becoming more and more attractive, and shallow grass can lose its horseshoe. I love the beauty of the east side of the west lake most, and I don't see enough, especially the white sand levee under the green yang liuyin.
Free translation of poems:
I went for a spring outing in the west of Jiating behind Gushan Temple in West Lake. In spring, the lake in West Lake rose, making it particularly open. Under the clear sky, the misty white clouds are heavily pressed on the river. From a distance, clouds, water and sky become one color. A few Oriole crowed for the wicker in early spring. I don't know whose swallows are making nests with spring mud in their mouths. The colorful flowers on the shore of the lake are blooming slowly, and soon they will fascinate tourists.
at this time, the spring grass has just grown to the height of the horseshoe. However, what I like most is the scenery to the east of the West Lake. The white sand embankment under the shade of green willows is never enough for people to see.
Jiating, Gushan Temple and Baishadi are all famous scenic spots in the West Lake. Among them, the "White Sandstone" mentioned at the end of the poem starts from the "Broken Bridge" where Xu Xian met the White Snake, passes through the Golden Belt Bridge and leads to the "Autumn Moon in Pinghu", one of the "Ten Scenes of West Lake", with beautiful scenery.
Bai Juyi's poem begins with such "points" as Gushan Temple and Jiating, and then expands a point by describing the lake and white clouds. Then in the second couplet, I wrote from "face" to "point", and wrote a few early warblers and "whose new swallow". From far to near, from surface to point, but also from static to dynamic, it injects "life" into poetry.
There are not many Oriole, only a few. Because spring has just arrived, these early warblers are the first guests to explore spring. And the swallow is also "whose family". It doesn't belong to every household. The word "whose family" naturally brings out the fireworks of the world.
It is foreseeable that in the near future, the beauty of flowers will dazzle tourists. This way of writing scenery is very unique. The flowers that "gradually want to be charming" are like charming women, and now they are in their prime. In the foreseeable future, it will be full of ten thousand kinds of customs and charm all the tourists on the West Lake. This indicates that the future time will be better than now.
