Spring Tour of Qiantang River in Tang Dynasty: Bai Juyi

From the north side of Gushan Temple to the west side of Jiating, the lake is just level with the embankment, with low clouds and waves on the lake. Several early orioles raced to the sunny tree, and their new swallows were carrying mud in their nests. Colorful spring flowers will gradually fascinate people's eyes, and shallow spring grass can barely cover the horseshoe. I love the beauty on the east bank of the West Lake, and I can't get enough of it, especially the white sand embankment under the green poplar.

Translation:

From the north of Gushan Temple to Jiating West, the spring water on the lake is just flush with the levee, and the white clouds are low and connected with the lake. A few early orioles scrambled to fly to the sunny tree, and the new swallows were busy building nests and holding mud. The flowers are blooming, dazzling, and the shallow grass can just cover the horseshoe. I can't get tired of seeing the beautiful scenery on the east side of the lake. Willow trees cross a white sand embankment under rows of shade.

Precautions:

Qiantang Lake: West Lake in Hangzhou. Gushan Temple: Built in the early years of Chen Wendi in the Southern and Northern Dynasties (522 ~ 565), it was named Chengfu and renamed Guanghua in the Song Dynasty. Isolated Mountain: It is between the inner lake and the outer lake of the West Lake, so it is called an isolated mountain because it is not connected with other mountains. There is an isolated mountain pavilion overlooking the West Lake.

Jia Ting: Also called Jia Gongting. A scenic spot in the West Lake was built by Jia Quan in the Tang Dynasty. During the Zhenyuan period of Tang Dynasty (Tang Dezong year, 785 ~ 805), Jia Quan was appointed as the secretariat of Hangzhou and built a pavilion on the banks of Qiantang River. This pavilion was called "Jia Pavilion" or "Jia Gong Pavilion" and lasted until the end of the Tang Dynasty.

Initial leveling of water surface: the lake is flush with the embankment, that is, the spring water rises at the beginning. Chu: used as an adverb in ancient Chinese, it is often used to express time and express fast.

Low cloud foot: white clouds overlap and connect with the waves on the lake. It seems that the cloud is very low, so the foot of the cloud is low. Point out the starting point and way of spring outing, and focus on depicting the scenery of the lake. It is more common when it rains or just stops raining.

Cloud foot: cloud gas near the ground, which is more common when it begins to rain or stops raining. The original meaning of "foot" refers to the organs that people and animals walk. This refers to the drooping clouds.
