Author: Su Shi
The water is Ming Che, and the mountains are empty and rainy.
If you want to compare the West Lake to the West Lake, light makeup is always appropriate.
This is a poem praising the beauty of the West Lake, which was written during the poet's tenure as a judge in Hangzhou. The beautiful lakes and mountains in Hangzhou diluted Su Shi's inner troubles and depression, and awakened his deep love for nature.
Vernacular translation
How beautiful the West Lake is on a sunny day, and the mountains in the rain are also wonderful. If you compare the West Lake to a stunning beauty, no matter how much make-up, it is always so charming.

Poetry appreciation
The water is bright and sunny, and the mountains are cloudy and rainy.
"Beautiful clear water" describes the clear water of the West Lake: in the bright sunshine, the West Lake is rippling and sparkling, which is very beautiful. "Fighting Rain in the Mountains" describes the mountains in rainy days: under the rain curtain, the mountains around the West Lake are shrouded in clouds, which is very wonderful if there is something. We can know from the title that the poet was in the West Lake that day.
If you want to compare the West Lake to the West Lake, heavy makeup is always appropriate.
"Xizi" is Shi, a famous beauty of Yue in the Spring and Autumn Period and one of the four beauties in China. Xi is equally beautiful and moving, whether it is light makeup or dressing up. If the West Lake is compared to beauty, it is equally beautiful whether it is sunny or rainy, winter or spring.
Describing the West Lake as a stunning beauty not only gives life to the beauty of the West Lake, but also is novel, unique and meaningful. Everyone knows that she is a beauty, but what kind of beauty exists only in one person's mind. Isn't the beauty of the West Lake the same? In this way, I don't know how much pen and ink to save than direct description, but its meaning is much richer and deeper. Its attraction to readers lies not only in feelings, but also in thinking, allowing readers to exert the connotation of poetry through their own imagination. This wonderful metaphor was called a quatrain by the Song people, so that "Xizi Lake" became another name for the West Lake. No wonder later poets wrote: (Wu Song Yan's "boating on the second day of the first month")
When drinking, the poet appreciates two kinds of scenery of the West Lake-sunny and rainy, so he compares the West Lake to a beautiful woman's stone and introduces its beauty and natural posture in the rain.
works appreciation
The first sentence is about water and sunny days, and the second sentence is about mountains and rainy days, showing a symmetrical beauty. "The water is bright" and "the mountain is empty" describe its state, "the sunny side is good" and "the rain is strange" express its feelings; Scenery is a scene corresponding to communication, and feelings are extensive and lofty. The beauty of the West Lake is panoramic, and the poet Su Shi's feelings are fully displayed.
The image metaphor and overall evaluation of the back picture are more metaphors of what people can't say and what Taoist people can't say; Su Shi, a poet, crossed the boundary between people and things and linked the different costumes of Xi Shi with the different scenery of the West Lake. The West Lake is really beautiful. Lakes, mountains, sunny days and rain are all "suitable" and each has its own charm. Su Shi's artistic technique of borrowing vulgarity to create strangeness really turns ordinary into novelty and decadent into magic.
This poem is very general. It is not a description of a scene or a moment of the West Lake, but a comprehensive evaluation of its beautiful scenery. The spread of this poem adds luster to the scenery of the West Lake and expresses the author's love for the West Lake.
