Ancient poems about West Lake in Hangzhou

1. Spring trip to Qiantang Lake

Tang Dynasty: Bai Juyi

North of Gushan Temple and west of Jia Pavilion, the water surface is initially flat and the clouds are low.

Early orioles are vying for warmth in several places, and new swallows are pecking at the spring mud.

The wild flowers are becoming more and more charming, and only in Asakusa can there be no horse hooves.

My favorite lake is the east side of the lake, with its green poplar shade and white sand embankment.

Translation

Walking to the north of Gushan Temple and west of Jia Gong Pavilion, I stopped for a while and looked into the distance. I saw the water level rising, white clouds hanging low, and the beauty boundless.

A few orioles are flying to the sunny trees first, while whose swallows are carrying spring mud to build new nests?

The flowers are colorful, almost charming, and the wild grass is green, just covering the horse's hooves.

The scenery on the east side of the lake is unforgettable. The most lovely thing is the white sand embankment shaded by green poplars.

If you want to compare the West Lake to the West, it is always appropriate to put on light makeup and heavy makeup.

Under the bright sunshine, the water of the West Lake is sparkling and beautiful, and it looks beautiful; on rainy days, under the cover of the rain curtain, the mountains around the West Lake Confused and confused, if there is something or nothing, it also seems very strange.

4. Two poems about the first clear day and later rain on the drinking lake·Part 1

Song Dynasty: Su Shi

The morning sun welcomes guests in Chonggang, and the late rain keeps people in Drunken country.

Zi Jiajun doesn’t know this, and one cup should belong to Narcissus King.

Translation

When the sky was dim, I went to greet the guests from afar, and the morning light gradually dyed the mountains red. While boating on the West Lake in the evening, a burst of rain came from the sky, and the guests were already drunk and drunk.

West Lake is so charming rain or shine, but guests don’t fully appreciate it. If you want to experience the magical beauty of paradise on earth, you should drink wine and appreciate it with the "Narcissus King", the patron saint of West Lake.

5. Picking mulberry seeds·It is good to visit the West Lake during the Qingming Festival

Song Dynasty: Ouyang Xiu

It is a good place to visit the West Lake during the Qingming Festival, full of prosperity. Fight over whose family it is. Green willows and red wheels drive the carriage. ?

Tourists are leaving at dusk, waking up drunk and noisy. The road turns and the embankment slopes. There are always flowers all the way to the top of the city.

Translation

During Qingming Festival and Shangsi Festival, the scenery of West Lake is very beautiful. Everywhere you look is a prosperous scene. Whose carriages and horses are fighting for the lead? A car with red wheels and golden flowers ran around the willow trees beside the road in order to get ahead.

Tourists go back together at dusk. Those who are awake and those who are drunk are greeting each other and making a lot of noise. From the sloping embankment of the West Lake to the city head, there are flowers blooming along the way.
