Su Shi [Song Dynasty]
The water is bright and sunny, and the mountains are cloudy and rainy.
If there are more dead beauties in the West Lake, C+ is so appropriate.
Translation:
In the bright sunshine, the water in the West Lake is sparkling and beautiful. On rainy days, under the cover of rain curtain, the mountains around the West Lake are foggy, and if there is anything, it is wonderful.
If the West Lake is compared to beauty, it is very appropriate to wear light makeup and heavy makeup.
Precautions:
Lake: West Lake in Hangzhou.
Li à n: The way water waves and lights flash.

This is a poem praising the beauty of the West Lake. This poem does not describe a scene or a moment of the West Lake, but a comprehensive description of the beauty of the West Lake, especially the last two sentences, which are considered to be appropriate comments on the West Lake. The author visited the West Lake, enjoying the beautiful lakes and mountains from morning till night, drinking and thinking, and enjoying Wan Ren. So I wrote this masterpiece that was told for a while.
The first two sentences of the poem not only describe the scenery of the West Lake, but also describe the different scenery of the West Lake in sunny and rainy days. "Clear water is good" describes the clear water of the West Lake: in the bright sunshine, the West Lake is rippling and sparkling, which is very beautiful.
The Wonder of Mountain Kong Yu describes the mountains in rainy days: under the cover of rain curtain, the mountain fans around the West Lake are very wonderful as if nothing had happened. From the first poem, we can know that the poet accompanied guests to dine by the West Lake all day. It was sunny in the morning, then turned cloudy, and it began to rain after dusk. In the eyes of poets who are good at appreciating nature and have deep feelings for the West Lake, whether it is water, mountains, sunny or rainy, it is beautiful and wonderful. From the praise of "sunny face" and "strange sound of rain", we can imagine the beautiful scenery of lakes and mountains in different weather, and we can also imagine the poet's free and easy personality and open mind in his mood. The scenery written in the first half is a scene corresponding to communication, with broad and bold feelings, blending scenes and relative scenes between sentences. The beautiful scenery of the West Lake is written, and the poet Su Shi's feelings are expressed incisively and vividly.
In the last two sentences of the poem, instead of taking beauty from the appearance, he further described the beautiful scenery of lakes and mountains with a pen, and only used an ethereal metaphor to convey the charm of lakes and mountains. It is of course beyond reproach for Su Shi to compare the beauty of the West Lake with the beauty of the West Lake by means of metaphor and rhetoric. However, we know that there are still many women in history, and their beauty is probably not much worse than that of others. But why did Su Shi choose Xi poetry to compare with West Lake? I wonder if there are two reasons: first, Shi's hometown is in Zhejiang, not far from the West Lake; Second, both the West Lake and the West Lake have the word "West", which is a perfect match. As for being called Zi, I'm afraid it's not only out of respect, but also related to leveling (the last word in the third sentence requires leveling, and "yes" means leveling). Now, West Lake is also called Xizi Lake, which is a poem from Su Shi. There are two diametrically opposite explanations for this metaphor: one is that the poet "takes the West Lake on a sunny day as a light makeup, and the West Lake on a rainy day as a heavy makeup"; One said that the poet was "more sunny than heavy makeup and more rainy than light makeup." Both theories have their own opinions and evidence. But for talented poets, this is a clever metaphor, and an occasional poem is just a temporary heart and scenery. From the beautiful scenery of the West Lake to the incarnation of beauty, from the "sunny side" and "strange rain" of the West Lake, it is always appropriate to imagine calligraphy. Speaking of metaphor and writing, I'm afraid it's not necessarily limited to sunny. When appreciating this poem, if we must let the heavy makeup return to sunny rain, it may damage the integrity of metaphor and the ethereal beauty of the poem.
