The Moon on the West Lake by Oden Zhou Qing

The rain in the western hills receded and the clouds closed.

Dimly discernible balcony, faint Tingzhou.

Lake smoke, boat money, wonderful dance.

Nosaru painter (2), Sha Ou saw white teeth and bright eyes.

Yuen Long Shenzhou (3), Xie An once traveled.

More romantic than Dongshan (4).

[Notes]

①: Shake it slowly.

② ":Fuck, this means acting.

③ Yuen Long: Garden.

④ Dongshan: The area around Shaoxing and Shengxian today is Xie 'an Mansion.

[Appreciation]

This song depicts the picturesque scenery of the West Lake with delicate brushstrokes. The poet grasped the dreamlike characteristics of the West Lake after the rain and made great efforts to render it. The activities of the characters in this picture, but seeing their voices, but not their shapes, make the picture more dynamic. The sentences of "Nosaru" and "Sha Ou" highlight the natural scenery and imply that only those who walk in the clouds and have wild cranes can enjoy this natural interest. In the author's works, Nosaru and waterfowl are integrated with painters and beautiful women, which is quite interesting in the integration of man and nature. Finally, Xie An's love affair in Yuen Long in the Eastern Jin Dynasty added a bit of romance and charm to this wonderful Danqing, and the whole artistic conception was full of vitality and pleasing to the eye.
