The poem praising the West Lake in Hangzhou is as follows:
1. "Spring on the Lake" (Tang Dynasty: Bai Juyi)
Spring on the lake is like a painting, with chaotic peaks surrounding the horizon shop. The surface of Songpai Mountain is covered with thousands of greens, and the moon is dotted with a pearl in its heart. The threads of the green carpet draw early rice, and the green nepotism shows the new crop. I couldn't leave Hangzhou, but half of my stay was this lake.
The West Lake written by Bai Juyi describes the beautiful scenery of the West Lake in spring. The West Lake in spring is as beautiful as a natural picture scroll. Three mountains surround the West Lake, and the lake surface is calm, like a mirror. The peaks in the distance are covered with pine trees, making the mountains look green. At night, the full moon in the sky is reflected in the lake, like a bright pearl, emitting charming light.
The whole poem highlights the beauty of the West Lake scenery in the front, and the poet's nostalgia for the West Lake in the back. The West Lake in the spring is so picturesque. Half of the reason why the poet is reluctant to leave Hangzhou is because he doesn't want to leave the West Lake.
2. "Drinking on the Lake, Two Poems on the First Sunny and Later the Rain·Part 2" (Song Dynasty: Su Shi)
It is good when the water is clear and clear, but the mountains are empty and covered with rain, which is also strange. If you want to compare the West Lake to the West, it is always better to put on light makeup and heavy makeup.
Let’s go to the West Lake while the sun is shining. The sun shines on the lake, and the water ripples, reflecting dazzling brilliance; even in rainy weather, the mountains in the distance and the surface of the West Lake are misty, and they still have a unique charm. Looking at the beautiful West Lake, people can't help but think of the great beauty Xi Tzu. If West Lake is like Xi Tzu, then no matter whether it is light makeup or heavy makeup, it will be so appropriate.
Su Shi's poems always have a magical power that turns decay into magic. This poem also praises the beauty of West Lake, but in a different way from others. Mr. Dongpo played in the West Lake from morning to night without feeling tired at all. Sitting on the boat, looking at the beautiful scenery far and near, and drinking a glass of wine from time to time, this comfort and tranquility will make others envious.
3. "Bu Suanzi: A Feeling of the Past" (Song Dynasty: Su Shi)
When guests from Shu come to the south of the Yangtze River, they remember Wushan for a long time. The romance between Wu and Shu has been the same since ancient times, so you should go back early. I also borrowed grass from the West Lake from last year. Mo Xizun came forward and took a closer look. He must have an old face.
Since Mr. Dongpo went to West Lake once, he could never forget the beauty of West Lake in his heart. At the beginning of the song "Bu Suanzi·Reminiscing about the Past", I can't wait to express my nostalgia for the West Lake, and then in the next part I have to imagine the scene of playing and drinking with my friends in the West Lake. Although this poem expresses Mr. Dongpo's lament about the passage of time, it also reflects Mr. Dongpo's deep impression on the beautiful scenery of West Lake.
