Su Shi, an ancient poem describing the West Lake

Lake Chu Qing after Rain (2)

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.

There are two songs "Rain after Drinking Chuqing Lake", and the second choice is here. This is a famous poem about the West Lake. On this day, the poet visited the West Lake. At first, the sky was clear, the sun shone on the lake, and the water waves flashed, which was very beautiful. Later, the sky turned cloudy and it began to rain. The rain is foggy and the mountains are hazy, so there is no artistic conception. The West Lake, like learning Chinese characters, is a beautiful woman with elegant manners. Whether elegant or colorful, it is just the right beauty.

The first two sentences summarize the different beautiful scenery of the West Lake in different weather by painting and contrast. The first sentence describes the lakes and mountains on a sunny day, and the second sentence praises the mountains on a rainy day. The two sentences accurately describe the charming face of the West Lake from the specific scene just after the rain. Words such as "secret" and "empty" are used accurately and vividly. Although the poet wrote these two sentences about "it rains after Chu Qing" when he visited the lake that day, he did not always observe the West Lake in detail and had a special appreciation. I believe it is difficult to summarize it with such an outline.

In the third and fourth sentences, the poet uses a stone as a metaphor, cleverly explaining that the West Lake will never lose its charm at any time. The poet's heart and scenery, from the "sunny face" and "strange rain" of the West Lake to the "heavy makeup is always appropriate" of the stone. In addition to the literal word "West", the poet's main focus is the natural beauty of both, which is why it is novel, ingenious and poetic to use beauty to compare the beautiful scenery of the West Lake. The poet used the imaginative beauty of stone to add color to the West Lake, hence the name "Xizi Lake".

The whole poem is ingenious in conception and strong in generality, which vividly outlines the beautiful scenery of the West Lake, rain or shine. To this day, people will definitely think of Su Shi's poem when they go to the West Lake.

The drunken book of Wang Hu Building (1)

Clouds poured out and poured down like ink, but a mountain range was exposed on the horizon, bright and fresh, and the splashing water was like white pearl gravel, splashing on the boat.

Suddenly, the wind rolled up and dispersed the clouds in the sky. The lake was blue as a mirror, beautiful and gentle.

The first sentence says clouds: black clouds are like spilled black ink, and the mountains have not been built yet. The poem compares the dark clouds to "turning ink", which is vivid.

The second sentence says rain: white and bright rain drops on the lake, splashing countless splashes and jumping into the cabin in disorder. Using "jumping beads" to describe raindrops is vivid and colorful. A word "no" highlights the ever-changing weather; A word "jump", a word "chaos", wrote a big storm and torrential rain.

The third sentence is about the wind: suddenly, the strong wind swept across the earth, blowing off the rain on the lake and dispersing the clouds. The word "suddenly" is used lightly, but it highlights the rapid change of the sky and shows the great power of the wind.

The last sentence is about the sky and water: after the rain, it is clear and calm. The poet boarded the building, looked at the railing and saw that there was no water on the lake, and the water reflected the sky. The color of water is as clear as the sky, and the color is blue. What about the wind? Where is the cloud? I don't know where they all went, as if nothing had happened just now.

First on the boat, then on the roof, the poet quickly captured the ever-changing natural scenery on the lake: clouds turning, rain pouring, wind rolling, sunny and fine, writing far and near, moving and quiet, vivid and affectionate. Reading, you will have an immersive feeling-as if you had experienced a sudden rain in the lake and came to Wang Hu Tower to enjoy the beautiful scenery of water and sky.

Five wonders of the West Lake at night

The water is boundless, and the lotus blooms at night.

Watch the lights gradually come out of the temple in the distance, and wait until the moon gets dark to see the lake.

The first two sentences of the fourth song are written about the boat crossing the grass: the grass is boundless, the lake is boundless, the lotus blooms at night, and the fragrance is fragrant. It is even more intoxicating to go boating among such lotus flowers on a moonlit night. Zhou Mi's "Return to the Heart and Miscellaneous Knowledge" says: "In front of the Four Saints of the West Lake, there is a Yi Deng floating in the water, which is green and red, from the south of Shishi Pavilion to the West Cold Bridge. The brighter the light in the storm, the weaker the moonlight. When lightning strikes, it competes with lightning to flash. "In the poem, what is written here is' gradually seeing the lights out of the far temple', and the words' gradually' and' out' just imply that the ship is moving. All of the above are the lake scenes under the moon. " You can't see the lake until the moon is dark, "prompting the second half of the poem to write about the lakes and mountains after the moon sets." The philosophical connotation of the landscape image in this poem is extremely unclear. It is true that the poet took the "dark moon" to "see the lake light", which was full of rational interest and provided readers with a philosophical realm of in-depth excavation.

Brief introduction of west lake

Located in the west of Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, West Lake is the first batch of national key scenic spots in Chinese mainland and one of the top ten scenic spots in China. It is one of the main ornamental freshwater lakes in Chinese mainland, one of the few lakes in the World Heritage List, and the only lake cultural heritage in China.

The West Lake is surrounded by mountains on three sides, with an area of about 6.39 square kilometers, a width of about 2.8 kilometers from east to west, a length of about 3.2 kilometers from north to south, and a lake area of about 15 kilometers. The lake is separated by an isolated mountain, Bai Causeway, Su Causeway and Yang Gongdi. According to the size of the area, it is divided into five water surfaces: Waixi Lake, Xili Lake, Beili Lake, Xiaonanhu Lake and Yuehu Lake. Su Causeway and Bai Causeway pass through the lake, while Zhou Xiaoying, Hu Xinting and Ruan Gongdun stand in the center of Waixi Lake. The Leifeng Pagoda in Zhao Xi and the Baodi Pagoda in Baoshi Mountain are separated by a lake, forming one.

Further reading: Su Shi from bachelor to farmer

In the second year of Renzong Jiayou, Su Shi took the senior high school entrance examination, ranking among the top 380 people who took the examination. Many people have used it all their lives, and they may not be able to pass the exam. But that year, Su Shi was only twenty years old.

Ouyang Xiu appreciated his article very much, but because he mistakenly thought it was written by his good friend Ceng Gong, he put it in the second place in order to avoid gossip.

After the college entrance examination, candidates should write a thank-you letter to the teacher, and Su Shi is no exception. After reading Su Shi's letter, Ouyang Xiu said, "I don't know why, but I'm so happy that the old man gave in to this man and made him stand out." He even said to his son, "Mark my words, no one will mention that old man again in 30 years."

Ouyang Xiu's admiration soon made Su Shi famous and popular in Beijing. People are scrambling to recite his article. In private, people asked him for inscriptions, and at the banquet, the singer asked him for lyrics. People thought that Dongpo would always hold a pen and write his splendid articles. Unexpectedly, not long after, the pen was put aside, and he was forced to lift the plow, changing from a bachelor to a farmer.

In the second year of Yuanfeng (1079), Su Shi was framed by the New Party because he was dissatisfied with the new law in a thank-you letter, and was found guilty of deceiving the monarch and confusing the people by Luo Zhi. Thanks to the intercession of Empress Dowager Gao and Wang Anshi's solidarity, Su Shi survived and was demoted to Huangzhou.

Su Dongpo settled in Huangzhou with his family. Huangzhou is a poor town. Since then, it has been isolated from the good life in the past, and the psychological gap is so great that outsiders can't imagine it.

Living in poverty, he had to reclaim wasteland, grow his own food, build houses, dig wells, transplant saplings and build dams, just like an old farmer.

This is the first time in Su Shi's life. He plowed, transplanted rice and irrigated in the sun. He used to have a delicate brush in his hand, and his articles were praised by everyone, but now he is plowing the land with a heavy ox plow in Shan Ye.
