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.
From the north of Gushan Temple to Jiating West, the spring water on the lake is just flush with the levee, and the white clouds hang low, which is connected with the waves on the lake. Several early orioles scrambled to fly to the sunny tree, and the new swallow was building a nest with mud in its mouth.
Countless colorful spring flowers gradually fascinated people's eyes, and the shallow spring grass just covered the horseshoe. I like the beautiful scenery in the east of the West Lake best, but I can't get enough of it, especially the white sand embankment under the green shade.
Extended data:
The creative background and appreciation of a spring outing in Qiantang River;
In July (822), the second year of Tang Muzong Changqing, Bai Juyi was appointed as the secretariat of Hangzhou, and in March (825), Tang Jingzong Baoliyuan was appointed as the secretariat of Suzhou. Therefore, this poem "Qiantang Spring Tour" was written in the spring of the third and fourth years of Changqing (823 and 824).
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. My ears are still echoing the hymns of spring played by all things, and beautiful poems full of the interest of natural integration flow in my heart involuntarily.
Predecessors said that "Lotte's poems are full of emotions, which enter people's liver and spleen, follow things, and are everywhere" (Su Hua), and that "Lotte's poems are extremely profound and lovely, and they often take what is in front of them as their own words, while others have not done it" (China). The language of this poem is simple, fresh and natural, and carefully selected shots are written into the poem by line drawing. Vivid image, that is, the scene is emotional, and the author's joy when he visited the lake in the early spring with abundant business is worthy of the above comments.
