The tide of Qiantang River is a magnificent landscape in the world. August 16 to 18 (lunar calendar) is the peak of high tide. When the tide surges far away from the mouth of Zhejiang, it is almost like a silvery white line; Soon (the tide) is getting closer and closer, and the tide in Yucheng Snow Ridge is usually from the sky. The sound is like thunder, shocking the world, inspiring people, bursting, engulfing the sky and heading for the sun. The momentum is extremely majestic. Yang Wanli's poem "Silver in the sea is the country and jade in the river is the waist" refers to such a scene.

Every year (in August of the lunar calendar), the head of Lin 'an Prefecture in Kyoto comes to Zhejiang Pavilion to practice and review the water army, with hundreds of warships on each side. Soon, the warships of the water army practiced five formations, suddenly flying, suddenly leaping, suddenly separating, suddenly merging and making various changes. At the same time, there are people riding horses, dancing flags, raising guns and wielding knives on the water, as if stepping on the flat ground. Suddenly yellow smoke rose all around, and people and things couldn't see each other at all, only heard the roar of water explosion, which sounded like a mountain collapse. When the smoke dispersed and the water waves calmed down, there was no trace of a ship, only an "enemy ship" that was destroyed by the fire and drifted with the tide.

Hundreds of Wu Di swordsmen who are good at swimming (swimming) all hang freely their hair, draw patterns on their bodies, and hold ten colorful flags in their hands, scrambling to swim against the current, facing the tide, swaying in the high waves of Wan Ren, tossing their bodies and changing their postures, but the tail of the flag is not wet at all. Through this performance, they showed their superb skills, and the rich and aristocratic officials competed to reward them.

More than ten miles up and down the river bank are full of spectators wearing gorgeous jewelry and clothes, and the road is blocked by a large number of cars and horses. The food and drinks sold are many times higher than usual. However, there are many people renting booths, and even an open space between seats is not allowed.

Appreciation of articles

Qiantang river data

Qiantang River (also known as Xin 'anjiang) is the largest river in Zhejiang Province, with a total length of more than 400 kilometers. It flows through Hangzhou and enters the sea in Hangzhou Bay. Because the estuary is trumpet-shaped and the tide flows backward, it forms the natural wonders of qiantang bore.

Turbid emptying

View, called "spectacular world without" by predecessors. Tide watching in qiantang bore has also become an ancient and modern event and a wonder of the world.

Thematic analysis

In very concise language, the author wrote the magnificent scene of the Qiantang River tide, the grand occasion of naval exercises, the superb swimming skills of Wuzhong athletes and the grand occasion of watching the tide.

Sectional appreciation

Paragraph 1 describes the spectacular tide. The opening sentence is "the tide in Zhejiang is a grand view of the world", which takes the lead. Then explain the peak time of the tide, then describe the tide from four aspects: shape, color, sound and potential, and write the grandeur of the tide from far to near. The description is also vivid and exaggerated. Short words such as "Silver Line", "Yucheng Snow Ridge", "Thunder" and "Swallowing the Sky and Wori" vividly show the shape, color and momentum of the tide rushing from a distance. Finally, Yang Wanli's poems are used to summarize the above images, which echoes the first sentence.

1 paragraph describes the tide coming. The spectacular scene of the Qiantang River spring tide is vividly written by metaphor and exaggeration. Describe from the four aspects of shape, color, sound and potential in the order from far to near. The last sentence quoted a poem by a famous poet, which effectively set off a wave.

The second paragraph is about the performance of military power. At the beginning, it is still a general statement, indicating that the annual mute coach water army is at the peak of the wave. Then it describes the wonderful scenes of the naval exercise: many ships participated in the exercise, and the positions in the exercise were varied. The sailors were skilled in fighting, fierce in fighting and huge in momentum, and quickly retreated after the exercise. A short passage vividly depicts a complex exercise. The knot in the quiet scene of "Smoke clears the waves" is not only a way of writing dynamic and static contrast, but also paves the way for another kind of water performance below.

The third paragraph is about the courage to make waves. At this time, the tide has arrived, and many Wuzhong athletes performed brilliantly in the stormy waves, but also wrote the grandeur of the tide from the side.

The fourth paragraph is about tide watching. The crowd watching the tide is so dense that it shows how attractive the river tide and the water show are, so the purpose of writing about the prosperity of watching the tide is to compare the prosperity of the river tide with the wonderful water show from the side.

This article is a masterpiece with artistic characteristics.

First of all, the structure of this paper is appropriate and the language is concise. Qiantang bore is magnificent, with numerous water performances, scenes and tide watchers. However, in this article, the author writes in an orderly way, with clear priorities. On the one hand, this is because the author's structure is exquisite, taking tide as a clue, combining scenery with notes, and combining front description with side contrast. On the other hand, it is also the result of the author's precious pen and ink and very concise language. Secondly, the description in this article is very vivid. Not only metaphors, exaggerations and other descriptive techniques are used, but even simple line drawings are very vivid.

Writing characteristics

1. The structure is appropriate and the language is concise.

The combination of scenery description and notes, positive description and side contrast make the description of this article coherent. Moreover, the author cherishes ink like gold, and the language is very concise.

2. The description is vivid.

In this paper, metaphor, exaggeration and other rhetorical devices are used to enhance the vividness of the language, and the language is also very concise and vivid without rhetorical devices.

3. The use of rendering and contrast technology.

For example, "the sound is like thunder, shocking and whipping, swallowing the sky and covering the earth, and the potential is extremely majestic" is a "grand view" to render the tides of Qiantang River, which enhances the artistic effect. Contrast is also called "contrast" and "contrast". "Everything in the river is twice as much as usual" is a grand occasion for many people to watch the tide.

additional remarks

Pan Lang Song people, whose birth year is unknown, died in the second year of Dazhong Xiangfu (1009). The word Xiaoyao Zi was born in Daming (now Hebei Province). He used to sell medicine in Luoyang, and was recommended to Taoism in the first year of Emperor Taizong of the Northern Song Dynasty (995) for his poems. Self-made "Recalling Yuhang" was popular for a while, which was appreciated by Su Dongpo and written on Yuping. History also makes people draw according to the meaning of words.

There are ten original words in Jiuquanzi, all of which are memories of places of interest in Hangzhou. They are different from Jiuquanzi written by pronouns in Tang and Five Dynasties, and they are Pan Lang's own songs. Qiantang, now Hangzhou.

When the river tide comes, the sound of the tide is like a golden drum with a thousand faces, which is shocking for a while.

A hipster refers to a person who steps on the tide and presents his skills when watching the tide on the banks of Qiantang River. They are all young and strong and good at swimming.

"Watching Tide" in "Old Wulin Stories" was selected as a junior high school text.

Tide watching in Qiantang: The tidal bore in Qiantang River is a natural wonder in the world. Qiantang tide-watching began in Han and Wei Dynasties and has become a local custom. Mid-Autumn Festival is the best time to watch the tide. Tidal bore in Qiantang River is divided into transverse tide, first-line tide and back tide.

Cross tide

55 kilometers away from Hangzhou Bay, there is a place called Daguan, which is an excellent place to watch the tide. Due to the long-term deposition of sediment, a sandbar is formed in the river channel, which divides the tidal wave from Hangzhou Bay into two waves: the east tide and the south tide. After bypassing the sandbar, the two tidal heads crossed and embraced like two brothers, forming a varied and spectacular cross tide, showing a spectacular scene of "thunder gathering on the sea and waterfalls crossing the river". At the moment when the two tides collided, a water column was stirred up, which was as high as several feet, splashing and stirring. By the time the water column fell back into the river, there were already two tidal heads on the river, which were cross-shaped and quickly ran west. At the same time, the intersection moved northward like an avalanche, hitting the straight seawall, causing huge splash and landing on the top of the pond, scaring tide watchers to scream and avoid.

Yixianchao

After seeing the tide crossing in the Great Gorge, I suggest you drive to Yan Guan as soon as possible and wait for the first tide. No tide shadow, smell the tide first. There was a loud noise in my ear, and the river remained calm. The noise is getting louder and louder, like drumming on all sides, which is deafening. In the distance, a white line appeared on the foggy river, which moved rapidly to the west, just like "Pingchuan crossing the river, Changpingsha starting from Bai Hong". Closer, the white line becomes a water retaining wall and gradually rises. "If you want to know how high the tide is, you must cross the mountains and waves first." With the rapid advance of a white wall, the tidal bore came to our eyes. With the trend of Ma Benteng, the power of thunder was unstoppable.

The first-line tide is not unique to salt officials. Where the river is straight and there is no sand, the tides are all on the same line, but it is not as good as the salt official. The reason is that the position of the upstream Yan Guan and the width of the river channel shrink sharply, and the east and south tides meet in a straight line, so the tidal level energy is concentrated, and the tidal range is particularly large, usually 1-2 meters, and sometimes it can reach more than 3 meters. Magnificent and spectacular tidal scene.

Huitouchao

The tide in the upper reaches of Yanguan will reach the next tidal spot, Laoyancang. The geographical environment of the old salt warehouse is different from that of the dry salt official. The river is straight and the tidal bore advances westward without any obstacles. For the purpose of reclamation and seawall protection, a 660-meter-long groin was built on the river course of the old salt warehouse. After encountering obstacles, the roaring tide will be reflected and turned back, where it will violently hit the opposite dam, and then turn back with the trend of Mount Tai topping, and fall on the rapids moving westward, forming a row of "snow mountains".

The spring tide of Qiantang River is magnificent during the day and poetic at night. Watching the tide is a kind of enjoyment, and listening to the tide is a daydream. No wonder some people say that "the Qiantang national ceremony is not enough to see the hipsters until they are bald."

Brief introduction of Qiantang River

Qiantang spring tide

Qiantang River, known as "the wonder of the world" since ancient times, is the tide-watching day on August 18th of the lunar calendar every year, and the best place is Yan Guan Town in Haining. Known as Zhejiang, Jianjiang, Luosha and Zhijiang in ancient times, it is a famous river in the southeast of the motherland and the largest river in Zhejiang Province. Qiantang River is 605 kilometers long with a drainage area of 48,887 square kilometers. It flows under the gate of Hangzhou and into Hangzhou Bay. The mouth of the river is trumpet-shaped, and the tide flows backward, making it a famous "qiantang bore". The main stream of Qiantang River is in Hangzhou, which is generally called Xin 'an River above Jiande Meicheng and Tongjiang River, Fuchun River and Qiantang River below Meicheng. Both sides of Qiantang River are rich in tourism resources and are the most important tourist routes in the province. Qiantang River originates in Qingzhidai, Huangshan Mountain in southern Anhui, flows through 14 counties and cities, and flows into Hangzhou Bay. Tongjiang River and Fuchunjiang River are called Fuchunjiang River because of their excellent scenery. The estuary below Wenjiayan is called Qiantang River. This section of waterway looks winding and looks like the word "Zhi" written backwards. The West Lake is just a point on the "Zhi", so it is called Jiang. Qiantang River, now abundant, is called the whole river. The mouth of Qiantang River is a huge trumpet. The distance between the north and south banks of the mouth of Hangzhou Bay is about100km, which is reduced to 20km at the mouth of Qiantang River and only 2.5km at Yan Guan, Haining. There is a huge sandbar uplift in the longitudinal section of the river bed, which rises upward from Zhapu with a slope of1.510000, reaches its peak near Cang Qian, and then extends to Yan Wen with a slope of 0.6/ 10000. Influenced by narrow river bundles and river bed uplift, tidal waves break up and rise, forming the world wonder "Qiantang River Tide". Qiantang River has a long history of development, with many famous mountains, beautiful waters, strange caves and historical sites on both sides. In this vast Qianjiang River basin, it is known as the "golden tourist belt" because of its rich specialties, outstanding people, local customs and full of interest.

Tidal allusions of Qiantang River

When the Qiantang River is at high tide, like other rivers, there is neither tide nor sound.

One year, a giant came by the Qiantang River. The giant was so tall that he crossed from one side of the river to the other. He lives in Shushan, Xiaoshan County, and sets fire to salt. People don't know his name, because he lives by the Qiantang River, so they call him Qian Wang. Qian Wang has great strength. He often used his iron pole to pick some big stones and put them on the river. Soon, he piled up one mountain after another.

One day, he went to pick the salt he had burned in Shushan for three years and three months. However, the salt was only enough for him to hold one end, so he tied a big stone to the other end of the pole, tried it on his shoulder, and picked it up and crossed the north bank of the river.

It was hot at this time, and Qian Wang was a little tired because he had just had lunch, so he put down his burden and had a rest. Unexpectedly, he dozed off Just then the Dragon King of the East China Sea came out to patrol the river, and the tide came in. Up and up, even up to the shore, slowly melting all the salt on Qian Wang. When the Dragon King of the East China Sea heard that there was no such salty taste in the water, it became more and more salty. He couldn't take it anymore, so he turned around and ran away. He doesn't want to escape to the ocean and make the sea salty. King Qian slept, opened his eyes and found that the stone at one end of the pole was still in Shi Xia (now famous Shi Xia), but the salt at the other end was gone!

Qian Wang looked everywhere, but he couldn't find salt. As soon as he looked down, he smelled the salty taste in the river. He thought, oh, no wonder the salt is gone. Stolen by the East China Sea Dragon King. So he raised his pole and smashed it into the sea. A pole hit the big fish and they all died; Two poles turned over at the bottom of the river; The three poles brought the Dragon King of the East China Sea to the surface, begging for mercy.

The Dragon King of the East China Sea asked Qian Wang why he lost such a big temper. Qian said, "Where did you steal my salt?" The Dragon King of the East China Sea realized the reason why the seawater became salty. Make amends at once, and tell me how to patrol the river, how to melt the salt of Qian Wang unintentionally, and make the sea water salty.

The king of money was so angry that he really wanted to lift the iron pole and smash the dragon king of the East China Sea to death. The Dragon King of the East China Sea repeatedly kowtowed in panic and begged for mercy, promising to compensate Qian Wang with the salt in the seawater. Call it up when the tide rises in the future, so that the rich king won't fall asleep and can't hear it. Hearing that these two conditions were not bad, Qian Wang spared the Dragon King of the East China Sea, put the pole at the mouth of Hangzhou Bay and said, "Call from here when the tide is high!" The Dragon King of the East China Sea promised again and again, and the money king left happily.

From then on, as soon as the tide entered Hangzhou Bay, it stretched out its neck and cried noisily until it rose to the place where Qian Wang had sat, and its neck stretched out to the top and shouted loudly. This place is now Haining. This is the origin of the world-famous Qian Jiangchao.

August and a half is the best time to watch the tide. In fact, the tidal bore of Qiantang River changes regularly, and the tide is restricted by many factors, such as astronomy, geography, river bed elevation, runoff, the direction of the main channel (channel), climate and so on. In fact, the first half and the second half of the lunar calendar are good times to watch the tide, and it is not necessary to choose August and a half. But the autumn tide is bigger than the spring tide, because the rainfall in Qiantang River basin is mainly concentrated in the rainy season and typhoon season from mid-March to mid-September; The rainfall from June 65438 to February of the following year is relatively small.
