Appreciation of the Original and Translation of Spring Tour in Qiantang River

The original text of the spring tour of Qiantang Lake is as follows:

Bai Juyi? Tang dynasty

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.

I am at the top of Gushan Temple in the north and Jiagong Pavilion in the west, overlooking the beautiful West Lake. After the rainy spring rain, the lake rose again, almost flush with the shore. In a cloudy and clear sky, curly white clouds are pressed against the lake, almost connected with the billowing waves. The weather is warm and cold at first, and several early orioles compete for warm branches in the sun, hoping to try the sound of silence for a winter as soon as possible; I don't know which swallow under the eaves is flying around, busy with spring mud and nesting. I rode slowly along the weeping willows.

The colorful flowers that are gradually opening confuse the eyes of tourists; The newly sprouted grass is shallow new green, just enough to cover the horseshoe. Qiantang River, the most haunting place, is the white sand embankment in Liu Yin.

Make an appreciative comment

The first poem sticks to the theme and always writes about the lake. The previous sentence points out the location of Qiantang Lake and the surrounding "uneven towers". The use of two place names shows a sense of movement, indicating that the poet is walking and watching. The last sentence is positive, the lake is bright and watery: at the beginning of spring, the water surface is flush with the embankment, and the white clouds in the air are connected with the rippling waves on the lake, which is a typical spring lake state in Jiangnan.

Zhuan Xu wrote about birds seen from looking up. Yingying is singing and swallows are dancing, showing the vitality of spring. Both the oriole and the swallow are messengers of spring, and the oriole sends the good news of spring back to the earth with its euphemistic and smooth voice. Swallows wear flowers and paste water, build nests with mud, and encourage people to start working in spring. The word "several places" summarizes Ying Ge's call to the other and the poet's modality of seeking sound from left to right.

The doubt about the word "whose family" shows the poet's delicate psychological activities and makes readers have rich associations. Writing with a neckband overlooks the flowers and plants you see. Because it's early spring, and it's not the season for flowers to bloom, what we see is not colorful flowers, but a cluster of flowers in the east and a cluster in the west, which is described by the word "chaos".

Spring grass does not grow luxuriantly, only it is not as long as horseshoe, so it is described by a word "shallow". The "gradual desire" and "talent" in this association are also the feelings and judgments of the poet's observation and appreciation, which makes the objective natural scenery become the scenery in the eyes with the poet's subjective feelings and infect readers.

These two couplets describe the scenery of the West Lake in detail, and express Yingying Yan's new arrival with "early", "new", "struggle" and "pecking". Using "chaos", "shallowness", "gradual desire" and "talent" to describe the thriving trend of flowers and plants accurately and vividly reveals the early spring weather that the poet felt while walking, giving people a fresh feeling.
