The Ancient Poem Sailing West Lake at Night (IV) Su Shi of the Song Dynasty

"Night on the West Lake" was a series of poems by Su Shi in the Song Dynasty. These five poems were written in July of the fifth year of Xining (1072), when Su Shi was appointed as the general judge of Hangzhou. The first two poems were about the West Lake under the moon, while the last three poems were about the scenery of the West Lake after the moon had set. The last three songs, especially the last one, gave people a sense of mystery. The five poems were written with the word "floating at night". They described the scenery of West Lake on a moonlit night and the scenery of West Lake at night. They gave people the feeling of a boat sailing everywhere. They did not leave the word "floating" and expressed the whole process of "floating at West Lake at night". Among them, the content of the fourth chapter of the book was: "The water is boundless, and the lotus flowers bloom at night." Gradually I see the light of the lamp coming out of the distant temple, waiting for the moon to darken to see the light of the lake." This poem vividly depicted the vast, quiet, and beautiful scenery of West Lake at night, reflecting the poet's love for natural beauty and his perception of life.

I. Translations There was no end to the wild grass, the lake was vast, the lotus flowers bloomed at night, and the dew in the wind carried a delicate fragrance. Gradually, I saw the lights of the temple in the distance brighten up. I still had to wait for the moon to set and the sky to darken to enjoy the lake light. 2. Notes (refer to the appreciation section for additional notes) 1. Wild rice and cattail were plants that grew near the water. The scenery depicted the lush vegetation on the lakeshore, showing the quiet and open atmosphere of West Lake at night. 2. The words "gradually" and "out" in "gradually see the lights and leave the distant temple" indicate that the ship is moving. As the boat moved forward, the lights of the temple in the distance gradually appeared, vividly depicting the night scene slowly unfolding in front of them. 3. When the moon was dark, the surrounding environment was even darker. Looking at the lake now, it was a different scene. The poet took the "dark moon" to "see the lake light", a phenomenon full of reason and interest, which provided readers with a philosophical realm for deep exploration. This set of poems was written in July of the fifth year of Xining (1072), when Su Shi was the general judge of Hangzhou. This poem was written by Su Shi and Lu Zhongfu, who was promoted by Ren Cha, on a night tour of West Lake with prostitutes.

The orchid buds at the foot of the mountain are short and soaked in the stream, the sandy road among the pines is clean and muddy, and the chirping of the cuckoo in the evening rain." It described the cuteness of the orchid buds, the freshness of the sandy road after the rain, and the tranquility under the contrast of the birds. The second half of the poem contained profound philosophical thoughts about life." Who says that life is endless? The flowing water before the gate can still flow westward! Don't sing the yellow rooster with your white hair."The poet used the stream flowing westward in front of the door as a metaphor to express that although life will experience the passage of time, it can still maintain a positive and aggressive spirit, and there is no need to sigh about time in old age.
