After picking mulberry and flowers, the West Lake is good.

After the crowd, the West Lake is good: wolves are in ruins and birds are flying. The weeping willows withered and the sun blew.

When all the tourists are gone, they feel that spring is empty. Hanging down the curtain, Shuang Yan returned to the drizzle.

translate

Although the flowers have fallen, the West Lake in late spring is still beautiful, and the residual flowers are light, and the residual red is particularly eye-catching among the branches and leaves; Catkin sometimes floats and sometimes flies, and the dance is charming; Weeping willows crisscross, swaying in the breeze, enjoying themselves in the warm spring breeze and brushing the lake all day.

The tourists enjoy themselves and disperse, the flute becomes quieter, and then they begin to feel empty, as if they need this peace. Go back to the bedroom, pull up the curtains, wait for the arrival of the swallows, only to see the frost returning from the drizzle, and then pull up the curtains.

Brief analysis

The colorful scenery of late spring in English and catkins often causes people's regrets. Ouyang Xiu, facing the late spring scenery of Yingzhou West Lake, gave a voice of admiration with different understanding. In the past, the lake was full of tourists and music, and the poet suddenly realized that spring had passed. The word "spring at first" not only expresses the sense of emptiness if something is lost, but also has the sense of sobriety after the bustling noise.

Make an appreciative comment

The first part describes the quiet beauty of the West Lake after the flowers wither. The first sentence is the outline of the whole poem, which leads to the scene of the West Lake after a hundred flowers bloom and the meaning of "good" understood by the poet. The two sentences of "messy" and "flying catkins" describe the posture of falling red and scattered all over the place, and the soft green willows hang obliquely in the spring breeze. The above sentences depict a clear and distant picture of late spring through the images of falling flowers, flying catkins and weeping willows. "The Queen of Flowers" has a rotten smell, and ordinary people feel sorry, sad or nostalgic for it, but the author praises it and uses this emotional clue to run through the injured article. When people are in a good mood, the scenery is beautiful, but when they are sad, the situation is just the opposite. It's called empathy. A scenery is a mood, that's why.

The film shows the tranquility of the environment and falsely describes the grand occasion of swimming in the lake in the past. "All the tourists go with the music", which means "the green water winds, the grass grows and the warblers fly, and the music is everywhere". The spring outing is over, the flowers are old, and the tourists who are "happy everywhere" are also depressed, and no one appreciates the sight of the remnant red flying group; "I feel empty in spring" points out the feelings produced by the above three scenes, and tells the author's complex and subtle state of mind of cherishing and loving spring. Awakening is an epiphany. These two sentences are the sense of sobriety after the bustling noise disappears. When the hustle and bustle disappeared, I felt that I had lost my emptiness and gained quiet comfort. The "good" in the first sentence comes from the latter feeling. Only based on this psychological feeling can we explain the "good" of the scene written in the three sentences "messy and residual red"

The last two sentences, "When the curtain fell, it was drizzling in Shuang Yan. Writing indoor scenery combines the dynamic description of characters with the background of natural scenery, expressing the author's comfortable and indifferent state of mind. The last two sentences are reversed, which is to open the curtains for the swallows. When the two swallows come back, they "hang down the curtains and close them". At the end, the sentence "It's drizzling in Shuang Yan" is subtle and euphemistic, which sets off the quiet atmosphere after the spring sky with drizzle and creates a light and happy artistic conception with Shuang Yan.

This word describes the scenery throughout, without obvious subjective feelings, but between the lines elegantly reveals the author's broad-minded and calm state of mind. This word shows the poet's unique aesthetic characteristics, especially the last two sentences create an intriguing artistic conception. The beautiful scenery of the West Lake described by the author is suitable for both dynamic and static, showing quietness with movement, penetrating meaning and orderly hierarchy, showing extraordinary artistic skill.

After the West Lake blooms, the fragrant flowers wither and the red remains are messy. Most people think this is boring, but the author is faced with such a scene of "rushing to spring". He is not sentimental, but appreciates the beauty of peace and tranquility in loneliness and cold. This carefree state of mind after an empty spring and this unique aesthetic feeling are the unique features that distinguish this word from the general Wing Chun Ci.
