What is Dongting Lake compared to, and what is Wang Dongting in Tang poetry?

In the Tang poem Wangdongting, Dongting Lake is compared to "an unpolished bronze mirror" and "a green snail on a silver plate".

Original poem:

Looking at Dongting in Tang Dynasty: Liu Yuxi

The lake and the moon set each other off, and there is no wind mirror on the pool surface.

Looking at Dongting from a distance, there is a green snail in the silver plate. (Landscape Cui Yi: Landscape Color)

Explanation:

In autumn, the moon is bright and the lake is clear. The lake is calm and calm, just like a bronze mirror with an iron bottom.

Looking at the beautiful Dongting Lake and the mountains. Really imaginative. The green Junshan is really like a green snail in a delicate silver plate.

Extended data:

This poem is rich in imagination, appropriate in metaphor and elegant in color. The silver plate and the green snail complement each other. The autumn moon Dongting landscape described by the poet has become a fine treasure of arts and crafts, giving people great artistic enjoyment. "Green snail in a silver plate" is really an incredible punch line.

But its superiority is not only manifested in the cleverness of the police, but also in its magnanimity and its lofty and wonderful feelings. In the poet's eyes, a thousand miles of Dongting is just a mirror and a cup and plate on the case. It is very rare to lift weights lightly, the pool is natural and unpretentious.

It is a reflection of the author's personality, sentiment and aesthetic taste to express the relationship between man and nature so cordially and to describe the lakes and mountains so broadly and clearly. It is difficult to write without thinking about octupole and being satisfied with the spirit of mustard seed, and without the embrace of nirvana.

It is rare to see the poet's romantic whimsy in a landscape poem. Only through sincere observation can we understand the deep feeling of this poem. ?
