The original stone Pan-West Lake 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.

Appreciation of articles:
The first two sentences are 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, two words are written here: "gradually seeing the light from the distant temple", and the words "gradually" and "out" imply that the ship is moving. These are the lake scenes under the moon.
"Wait until the moon is dark to see the lake", prompting the second half of the poem to write about the lakes and mountains behind the moon. 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.
