[Brief analysis]
This is a poem praising the beauty of the West Lake, which was written during the poet's tenure as a judge in Hangzhou. There are two original songs, and this is the second one.
The first sentence, "Clear water is good", describes the clear water of the West Lake: in the bright sunshine, the West Lake is rippling and sparkling, which is very beautiful. The second sentence, "Mountain monsters when it rains", describes the mountains on rainy days: under the cover of the rain curtain, the mountain fans around the West Lake are very wonderful as if nothing had happened. From the title, we can know that the poet gave a banquet in the West Lake on this day. It was sunny at first, and then it rained. In the eyes of poets who are good at appreciating natural beauty, the sunny and rainy state of the West Lake is beautiful and wonderful. "Sunny face" and "rain monster" are the poet's attitude towards the West.
