In the Song Dynasty, Yang Wanli's Xiao Chu Jingci Temple sent Lin Zifang;
It is the scenery of the West Lake in June, which is really different from other seasons.
Lotus leaves will not turn green the next day, and lotus flowers are particularly bright red in the sun.
Translation:
What is the scenery of the West Lake in June? The scenery is really different from other seasons.
Lotus leaves will never be seen in the sky, and lotus flowers are particularly bright and red in the sun.
This is a poem describing the beautiful scenery of Hangzhou West Lake in June.
The poet painted a colorful picture for readers with sentences full of strong color contrast: "Lotus leaves are infinite in the sky, and lotus flowers reflect different colors in the sun." These two sentences describe "after all" different landscape pictures in detail: with the lotus leaf extending to the end of the lake and the blue sky merging together, an "infinite" artistic space is created and endless blue is drawn; On this blue background, the lotus reflected by the sun is lit, so beautiful and bright. "Infinitely blue" lotus leaves in the sky and lotus flowers reflecting "different colors of red" in the sun can be seen not only in spring, autumn and winter, but also in the most vigorous summer of mid-June. The poet captured the unique scenery of this midsummer and summed it up very aptly. This transformation in the sketch, although ups and downs, has no sense of suddenness. The seemingly dull pen and ink presents an evocative artistic situation for readers.
