31. Drinking the Lake on the First Clear Day After Rain Song Dynasty - Su Shi Water's glow sparkling, it's beautiful on a clear day, Mountains' colors hazy, it's also strange in the rain. I wish to compare West Lake to the beauty of Xizi, Light makeup or heavy, it suits her all the same. Spring River, Moonlit Night (What a beautiful scene) The spring river's tide merges with the sea, flat as they are, A bright moon on the sea rises with the tide. Over the waves, the moonlight shines a thousand miles, Where does the spring river not have a moon shining? The river flows windingly around the fragrant isle, The moonlight on the flowered forest seems like snowflakes; Stalactites flowing in the air, not aware of flying, White sand on the bank invisible. River and sky of one color, without a speck of dust, A bright moon wheel in the clear sky, solitary. Who first saw the moon by the riverbank? When did the moon first shine on people? Life is endless, generation after generation, The river moon year after year seems the same. Unknown to whom the river moon awaits, Only seeing the Yangtze sending flowing water. A cloud of white goes away leisurely, On the Qingfeng Pool, the sorrow is too much to bear. Who's rowing a boat on the river tonight? Where does the one in the moonlit pavilion think of? Pitifully, the moon above the pavilion roams, It should light the mirror where the parting one prepares. The curtain in the jade house can't be rolled away, The clothes-beating stone brings back the finger. Looking at each other, we cannot hear each other's voice, I wish to follow the moonlight to shine on you. Geese fly long, the light does not pass, Fish and dragons dive, the water forms waves. Last night, in the idle pond, dream of fallen flowers, Pitifully, the spring is half over, and the home not returned. The river flows away with the spring, nearing its end, The falling moon over the riverbank tilts westward. The slanting moon sinks into the sea fog, hidden, Jieshi and Xiangxiang have endless roads. Unknown how many return under the moon, The falling moon rocks the emotion in the river trees. —— Tang Dynasty - Zhang Ruoxu "Spring River, Moonlit Night" Poems of the "Top Ten Scenic Spots of West Lake": One peak high, a person talking here, Two together, they cannot leave this place, as there is West Lake (Two Peaks Piercing the Clouds). Lake vapor cold as ice, moonlight fainter than snow, Would they abandon the Three Pools to the people of Hangzhou, who don't watch the moon (Three Pools Reflecting the Moon). High willows shade the long embankment, the moonlight leaks through the sparse trees, Stepping on the sandy path, it feels like walking on snow (Broken Bridge Snow). Night mist shrouds the southern screen, the mist thin as paper, The bell sound from the top, the night crossing the empty river (South Screen Evening Bell). Foggy willows, peach blossoms, red jade sinks in autumn water, The beauty is weak at night, Xishi just woken up (Su Causeway at Dawn). A faint blush on the cheeks, a smile on the lips, What intoxicates the lotus flowers, the warm wind is like wine.
