Appreciation 1: This is a poem praising the beauty of the West Lake, written during the poet's tenure as a general judge in Hangzhou.

The first sentence "the water is clear and sunny" describes the water light of the West Lake on a sunny day: under the bright sunshine, the water of the West Lake is rippling and sparkling, which is very beautiful. The second sentence "the mountains are empty and the rain is strange" describes the mountains on a rainy day:

Under the rain curtain, the mountains around the West Lake are confused and confused, if there is nothing, it is very wonderful. As can be seen from the title, on this day, the poet had a banquet in the West Lake, and the sun was bright at first, and then it rained. In the eyes of poets who are good at appreciating the natural beauty, the sunny and rainy state of the West Lake is beautiful and wonderful.

"The sunny side is good" and "the rain is strange" is the poet's praise for the beautiful scenery of the West Lake.

If you want to compare the West Lake to the West, it is always appropriate to apply heavy makeup and light makeup", the poet used a wonderful and appropriate metaphor to write the charm of the West Lake. The reason why the poet compares Xi Shi to West Lake is not only because the two are in the same place, have the same "West" character, and also have the graceful and feminine beauty, but more importantly, they both have a natural beauty of posture, without the help of foreign objects, do not have to rely on artificial modification, and can show the beauty of the style at any time. Whether Xi Shi is thick powder or understated eyebrows, he is always graceful; Whether it is sunny or rainy, the West Lake is very beautiful and fascinating.

This metaphor was recognized by later generations, and since then, "West Lake" has become another name for West Lake.

This poem is very general, it is not a description of a scene in the West Lake, a scene at a time, but a comprehensive evaluation of the beauty of the West Lake. The spread of this poem has added brilliance to the scenery of West Lake.

Appreciation 2: The first two sentences of this small poem are to describe the water on a sunny day and the mountain on a rainy day, from two landforms and two kinds of weather to express the beauty of the West Lake landscape and the changeable characteristics of sunny and rainy weather, written concretely, expressively, and with a high degree of artistic generalization, so that some people commented that how many West Lake poems in ancient times were swept away by these two sentences. The last two sentences are metaphorical:

Between heaven and earth, human beings are the most spiritual; Among human beings, Xizi is the most beautiful. On the basis of the description of the first two sentences, the West Lake is compared to the beautiful Xi Shi, saying that it is the same as Xi Shi is the best of the world's spirit and beauty, not to mention that it has been carefully dressed up with light makeup or heavy makeup!

However, writing about the beauty of West Lake is not the whole story of this metaphor. There are some women in history whose reputation is comparable to that of Xizi, why did the poet compare Xizi with West Lake? This is because, in addition to Xizi's beauty and beauty, she and West Lake also have two unique fits:

First, Xizi's hometown is not far from West Lake, and it also belongs to the land of ancient Yue; The second is Xizi and West Lake, both of which have the word "West" on their heads, which are naturally called. For these reasons, Su Shi's clever metaphor won the praise of later generations, and West Lake was also called West Lake.

Xizi: Xi Shi, a famous beauty in the Spring and Autumn Period, formerly known as Shi Yiguang, or Xianshi, is the first of the four beauties in ancient times (Xi Shi, Wang Zhaojun, Diao Chan, Yang Yuhuan). The family lived in the west of Huanshaxi Village (in present-day Zhuji City, Zhejiang), so it was called Xishi.

2.Translations.

Under the bright sunshine, the water of West Lake is sparkling and gorgeous, and it looks beautiful; On rainy days, under the shroud of rain, the mountains around West Lake are confused, and if there is nothing, it also looks very wonderful.

If the West Lake is compared to the beauty of Xi Shi, light makeup and heavy makeup are so suitable.

Xizi refers to the beautiful Shih Tzu of the Warring States period.

The author compares West Lake to Xizi for the following reasons:

1. Xi Shi's hometown is in Zhejiang, and it is not far from West Lake. West Lake and Xizi are both beautiful gods, so for West Lake, whether it is sunny or rainy, for Xizi, whether it is light makeup or thick wiping, it does not change its beauty, but can only add to its beauty.

2. Xi Shi and West Lake both have the word "West", which is really a match made in heaven. As for calling Xi Shi Xizi, I am afraid that it is not only for respect, but also related to Pingxuan, the last word of the third sentence requires the sound of the word, and "Shi" is the word of Pingsheng. Now West Lake is also called West Lake, which is derived from Su Shi's poem.

From "Drinking the Lake After the Rain" Song Dynasty poet Su Shi.

The water is shining and sunny, and the mountains are empty and rainy.

If you want to compare West Lake to Xizi, it is always appropriate to apply light makeup and heavy makeup.

Translation: Under the bright sunshine, the water of West Lake is sparkling and gorgeous, and it looks beautiful; On rainy days, under the shroud of rain, the surrounding mountains are confused, and if there is nothing, it also looks very wonderful. If the West Lake is compared to the ancient beauty Xi Shi, light makeup and heavy makeup are so suitable.

The similarities between West Lake and Xizi are literally the same "West" character for West Lake and Xizi. In addition, they also have a graceful and feminine beauty, and more importantly, they all have a natural beauty posture, without the help of foreign objects, without relying on artificial modification, they can show their beauty at any time.

Whether Xi Shi is thick powder or light moth eyebrows, he is always graceful; Whether it is sunny or rainy, the West Lake is very beautiful and fascinating.

Drinking the appreciation of the first sunny day and the second rain on the lake.

There are two opposing interpretations of this metaphor: one is that the poet "compares the West Lake with light makeup on a sunny day to Xizi, and the West Lake on a rainy day to Xizi with heavy makeup"; One theory believes that the poet is "more heavy makeup on a sunny day, and light makeup than light makeup on a rainy day". Both theories have their own opinions and evidence.

But as far as the talented poet is concerned, this is a clever hand to take the metaphor of the god of Peina, the poetry and the stroke of the gods, just a moment of heart and scenery, from the beautiful scenery of the West Lake to the embodiment of the Xizi as the embodiment of beauty, from the West Lake's "sunny side" and "rainy year is also strange".

Imagine that Lao Tzu in the West should also be "light makeup and heavy makeup is always appropriate", when it is a metaphor, when the pen is written, I am afraid that it may not be confined to the two of sunny and rainy, which refers to heavy makeup, which refers to light makeup. When appreciating this poem, if you must make heavy makeup and light makeup fall into sunny and rainy weather, it may damage the integrity of the metaphor and the ethereal beauty of the poem.

If you want to imitate the West Lake than the West Lake, light makeup and heavy makeup are always appropriate" The meaning of these two poems is: If you want to compare the West Lake to the beautiful Xi Shi, then the sunny West Lake is like the Xi Shi with heavy makeup, and the West Lake on a rainy day is like the Xi Shi with light makeup, which is the same beauty.

The whole poem is written "sunny" first, then "rain", and the last two sentences are combined to summarize, and the charming scenery of West Lake is praised with novel and witty words. The West Lake is described as a beautiful Xishi, which has become a foregone conclusion. The lake is named "West Lake" because of the poem, which can be proven.

Xi Shi, formerly known as Shi Yiguang, was born in Tongmeng, Zhuji Ramie Village, Zhejiang Province in the late Spring and Autumn Period. Born beautiful. The first of the four beauties of ancient China is the embodiment and synonym of beauty.

The "Sinking Fish" in "The Appearance of the Shy Flowers in the Closed Moon, the Appearance of the Sinking Fish and the Falling Geese" tells the classic legend of Xi Shi Huansha. Xi Shi and Wang Zhaojun, Diao Chan, and Beilun Wei Yang Yuhuan are known as the four beauties of ancient China, among which Xi Shi is the first.
