The significance of the whole poem when the dark clouds turn over the ink and don't cover the mountains

Clouds poured out and poured down like ink, but a mountain range was exposed on the horizon, bright and fresh, and the splashing water was like white pearl gravel, splashing on the boat.

Suddenly, the wind rolled up and dispersed the clouds in the sky. The lake was blue as a mirror, beautiful and gentle.

This is the first poem of "Five Drunken Books of Wang Hulou on June 27th" written by Su Shi, a writer and calligrapher in Song Dynasty, when he was exiled to Hangzhou.

The translation is as follows:

Dark clouds roll, like overturned inkstones, winding the distant mountains. After a while, some pearls suddenly appeared on my boat, which were oppressive raindrops.

A gust of wind blew and dispersed the rainstorm. When I fled to Wang Hu Building, drinking and chatting, what I saw was blue sky and clear water.

Creation background

Song Shenzong Xining five years (1072), the author served as a judge in Hangzhou. On June 27th this year, he visited the West Lake, saw the wonderful lakes and mountains on the boat, and then went to Wanghulou for a drink and wrote these five quatrains.

works appreciation

The poet wrote the changes of wind and rain very vividly. He is sitting on a boat. The boat had just rowed downstairs to Wanghu Lake, when suddenly I saw a dark cloud rising in the distance, just like spilling a pot of ink, and half of the sky was suddenly dark. This dark cloud went straight to the lake, and it rained cats and dogs in the blink of an eye.

I saw countless splashes on the lake, and the raindrops were as big as soybeans, hitting the boat one after another, just like God scattered thousands of pearls together, and the top of the boat was full of banging sounds. Someone on board panicked and shouted to go ashore. But when the poet looked into the distance, he knew it was just a passing sight and it was over in a blink of an eye. The mountains in the distance still reflect the sun, and it doesn't rain at all.
