There are pines and cypresses all over the mountain, flowers under the forest are clustered, peaches and willows are planted on both sides, and the lotus fragrance is in the lake.
-Summer Palace couplets
Yuquan flows through the walls of the Summer Palace.
Dian Ge cragginess connected to the imperial city, Afang knot that day.
It's just that I'm still listening to the running water on the palace wall, which is the sound of people running out of ointment.
Summer Palace Yixiu Bridge
Take a pill, and a silver basin floats in the glaze.
The scales are thousands of times, and the moon is full of gold waves.
Yixiu Bridge, located at the southernmost tip of Kunming Lake in the Summer Palace, also known as Luoguo Bridge, is a waterway leading to the Summer Palace. This couplet shows the charming scenery around Yixiu Bridge. The first part is about the scenery of the sun: the bridge is like a curved black eyebrow embedded in the silvery white lake, and the green Wanshou Mountain shadow is reflected in the water. Moonlight: the water is sparkling. Under the bright jade moon, the lake is rippling with golden waves. Luodai, the ink of thrush, is a blue-black mineral pigment, which refers to Daimei.
Compare the small bridge to a beautiful eyebrow, and describe the reflected green hills as green holes floating on the water, with vivid pen and ink. A pill is worth a thousand stacks, which shows that the bridge is clever and the lake is wide. The couplets are magnificent in language, ingenious in conception and beautiful in artistic conception, just like a lush and exquisite ink painting.
