Su Shi's "drinking the Rain after the first Sunshine on the Lake" and du Mu's "Mountain Journey" are famous unique sentences in ancient China to depict landscapes, so what season do the two poems depict respectively? According to cultural and historical materials, one of them writes about the West Lake in spring and the other about Yuelu Mountain in autumn.

First, "drinking the Rain after the first Sunshine on the Lake" is a seven-word sentence praising the beauty of the West Lake, which was written during Su Shi's tenure in Hangzhou. This poem is not a description of a scene of the West Lake, but a comprehensive description of the beauty of the West Lake.

The first half of the poem describes not only the scenery of the West Lake, but also the sunny and rainy state of the West Lake. "Water waves shining on a sunny day" describes the water light of the West Lake on a sunny day: under the brilliant sunshine, the West Lake is rippling, glittering and very beautiful. "the Mountain is empty and Rain is strange" describes the mountain scenery on a rainy day: under the curtain of rain, the mountains around the West Lake are confused, if nothing, very wonderful. It can be seen from the title that the poet traveled to the West Lake all day, and it was sunny in the morning, and then it turned overcast, and it began to rain after dusk. In the eyes of poets who are good at appreciating nature and have deep feelings for the West Lake, whether the water is mountain, sunny or rainy, it is beautiful and wonderful. From the praise of "sunny side is good" and "Rain is also strange", we can imagine the scenery of lakes and mountains in different weather, as well as the interest of poetry in the scene and its free and easy character and open mind. The first half of the scene is the exchange, the corresponding scene, the emotion is extensive, bold and turbulent, the situation is blended, the sentence scene is relative, the beauty of the West Lake is written, and the poet Su Shi's feelings are fully expressed.

In the second half of the poem, instead of adhering to the first two sentences, the poet further uses his pen to depict the sunny and rainy colors of lakes and mountains, but to refresh the spirit of lakes and mountains with only an ethereal and appropriate metaphor. Between the metaphorical body and the Noumenon, except that literally, the West Lake and Xizi have the same word "West", the poet's focus is on the current beauty of the West Lake, which is similar to the imagined beauty of Xi Shi in terms of the charm of wind and spirit. And it is precisely because the West Lake and Xizi are the gods of their beauty, so for the West Lake, whether it is sunny or rainy, or for Xizi, whether it is light makeup or heavy application, it can only add to its beauty. There are two opposite interpretations of this analogy: one holds that the poet "compares Xizi with light makeup on sunny days and Xizi with heavy makeup on rainy days", and that poets "make up more on sunny days than on rainy days". Both theories have their own opinions and have their own grounds. However, as far as talented poets are concerned, this is an occasional metaphor for God. The occasional stroke of poetry is just a moment of emotion and scenery, from the beauty of the West Lake to Xizi, which is the embodiment of beauty. from the "sunny side" and "strange rain" of the West Lake, it is imagined that Xizi should also be "she is always beautiful regardless of light makeup and heavy makeup". When it comes to metaphor and writing, I am afraid it may not be confined to both sunshine and rain, which refers to heavy makeup and light makeup. When appreciating this poem, if we must make heavy makeup and light makeup belong to sunshine and rain, it may damage the integrity of metaphor and the ethereal beauty of poetry.

Second, "Mountain Journey" is a seven-sentence poem by the poet du Mu describing and praising the mountain and forest scenery in late autumn. This poem depicts the color of autumn, showing a moving autumn picture of mountains and forests, with mountain roads, families, white clouds and red leaves, forming a harmonious and unified picture. In this poem, du Mu controls the scene with emotion, quickly and accurately captures the image that embodies the natural beauty, and integrates his own emotion into it, so that the emotional beauty and the natural beauty blend together, and the scene is integrated with each other.

The whole poem is novel in conception and exquisite in layout. It takes gorgeous autumn colors in the bleak autumn wind and competes with spring light, which is pleasing to the eye. This poem is not only an impromptu chanting of scenery, but also an expression of the poet's inner spiritual world.

This poem depicts the color of autumn, showing a moving picture of autumn in the mountains and forests. Mountain roads, families, white clouds and red leaves are written in the poem, forming a harmonious and unified picture. These scenes are not juxtaposed in the same position, but organically linked together, there are masters and followers, some are in the center of the picture, some are in the foil position. To put it simply, the first three sentences are the object and the fourth sentence is the main one. The first three sentences depict the background, create the atmosphere, pave the way and set off for the fourth sentence.

"the stone road winds its way to the cliff." write about the mountain and write about the mountain road. A winding path winds its way to the top of the hill. The word "far" shows the long mountain road, and the word "oblique" echoes the word "Shangshang", writing out a high and gentle mountain.

"there are people in the depths of Baiyun", write about clouds, write about others. The poet's eyes looked all the way up the mountain road, and there were several stone walls of stone houses where the clouds were floating. The "people" here take care of the "stone path" in the above sentence.-this mountain path is the passageway for those families to go up and down. In this way, the two kinds of scenery are organically linked. There are white clouds around, indicating that the mountain is very high. The poet used Hengyunduanling technique to let this piece of white clouds cover the reader's line of sight, but left people with room for imagination: above the white clouds, there are mountains, there must be another kind of scenery.

The poet is only making an objective description of these scenes. Although the word "cold" is used, it is only to show the following words "late" and "frost", which does not show the poet's emotional tendency. After all, it is just building up the momentum for the following description-outlining the environment of the maple forest.

"parking only because I like the maple forest in the evening" is different, the tendency is already very clear, very strong. The mountain road, Baiyun and others did not move the poet, but the evening scene of the maple forest made it hard to restrain his surprise. In order to stop and enjoy the scenery of the mountains and forests, he didn't bother to drive. The word "evening" in this sentence is used exquisitely, and it contains many meanings: (1) it is clear that the first two sentences are seen during the day, and the last two sentences are the evening scene. (2) because there is sunset in the evening, the gorgeous sunset and the red maple leaves reflect each other, the maple forest is particularly beautiful. (3) the poet haunts to return, and in the evening, he is reluctant to board the bus and leave, which shows that he loves red leaves very much. (4) because we have stopped for a long time and observed carefully, we can realize the fourth aphorism that "the maple leaves are more red than the flowers of February".
