Spring outing in Qiantang Lake
Tang Dynasty: Bai Juyi
From the north side of Gushan Temple to the west side of Jiating, the lake is just level with the embankment, with low clouds and waves on the lake.
Several early orioles raced to the sunny tree, and their new swallows were carrying mud in their nests.
Colorful spring flowers will gradually fascinate people's eyes, and shallow spring grass can barely cover the horseshoe.
I love the beauty on the east bank of the West Lake, and I can't get enough of it, especially the white sand embankment under the green poplar.
When I arrived at Jiating in the north of Gushan Temple, I saw that the water was flat and white clouds hung low. A few orioles, scrambling to fly to the warm tree, whose swallow built a new nest with spring soil? Colorful flowers fascinated people's eyes, and the weeds were green, just covering the horseshoes. My favorite place to go is to the east of the lake, to see the white sand embankment covered by green poplar trees.

Characteristics of works
Sentimentality in the landscape is the main feature of this poem. It not only writes a strong feeling of spring, but also writes a strong feeling of natural beauty. In the poem, feelings are attached to the scenery, and between the lines, the joyful and relaxed feelings and delicate and fresh feelings about the spring scenery of the West Lake are revealed.
This poem is like a short and pithy travel note, from Gushan and Jiading to Hudong and Bai Causeway. Along the way, in the beautiful scenery of lakes and mountains, green mountains and green waters, the poet feasted his eyes, sang and danced, and was intoxicated by the birds and flowers. Finally, he reluctantly left along the white sand embankment under the shade of willows.
