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 the night view of Pan-West Lake (Ⅳ)
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, 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, which implies that the second half of the poem is about the lake scenery after the moon sets.
