Excerpts from the original text
Embroidered and carved, Yamahara is full of vision, and Kawasawa is bold and unrestrained. Yan Lu, the hometown of Zhong Mingding's delicious food; Gechuan maze, bluebird Huanglong. Clouds selling rain Ji, colorful. Sunset and lonely Qi Fei, autumn waters and sky are the same color. Fishing boats sing late and resound all over the coast of Peng Li; Yan Zhen was stunned by the cold, and his voice broke Hengyang's pu.

Open the carved door and overlook the magnificent roof. The mountains and plains have a panoramic view, and the twists and turns of rivers and lakes are breathtaking. Houses are dense, wealthy families are numerous, and boats are full of ferries, all of which are big boats carved with green finches and yellow dragons.
After a storm comes a calm, the rainbow disappears and the sun shines brightly. The sunset flies with the lonely geese, and the autumn water is even in the sky. In the evening, songs came from fishing boats, which resounded across the lake in Peng Li. The wild goose howled because of the cold and stopped at the bank of Hengyang.
Creation background

Make an appreciative comment
The antithesis is neat and the allusions are just right. Except for exclamations, auxiliary words and Bo's self-claim, most of them are four-character antitheses and six-character antitheses. There are some simple sentences, such as "Clouds clear away the rain", "Lonely sunset in Qi Fei, autumn water * * * one color in the sky" and so on; Some are complex sentences, such as "the treasure of things, the city where the dragon lights shoot the bulls;" Outstanding people, Xu Ruyuan's "Fan on Chen's couch" "Fishing boats sing late, ringing the shore of poverty; The array was frightened and the sound broke the pu of Hengyang "; There are also some comments on this sentence, such as "Jin Sanjiang brings five lakes, controlling barbarians and attracting Ouyue", "Jin Sanjiang brings five lakes" and "controlling barbarians and attracting Ouyue" are opposite to each other. For example, Qi Feng with Rattan Pepper, Double Clear Purple Dots, Long Guang and Bull Fight. This antithesis sentence is not only neat and symmetrical, but also complex and changeable, fast-paced, neat and harmonious, and powerful.
