Make an appreciative comment
The first two sentences of this poem are the poet's sighs after seeing the scenery of the West Lake. After all, it is the scenery of the West Lake in June, which is completely different from other times. This feeling is often worth a thousand words. Adding this feeling first has also aroused readers' interest. What kind of scenery on the ground can make Yang Wanli feel so sorry?
Yes, the last two famous sentences are more colorful and bright under the contrast of the previous one. A neat antithesis makes the lotus leaf of the West Lake magnificent, full of weather, endless green, dazzling red, so bright red and green, but it presents a different kind of beauty against the background of blue sky, white clouds and summer sun. Standing by the West Lake at dawn, I bid farewell to the beautiful scenery of my friend, Yang Wanli.
