When it comes to Liu Yong, people think more about the white-clothed Qingxiang who filled in the words because "he changed the floating name to a shallow chant and a low singing". Among Liu Yong's many lyrics, there are indeed many words that are soaked with the style of the city, and Liu Yong has also laid the root bone of the amorous prodigal son. However, when Liu Yong passed through Hangzhou on the way to obtain a meritorious name in his early years, he wrote a magnificent and extraordinary power song "Wanghai Tide", which became a unique song for writing Hangzhou.
Look out over the tide
Southeast shape sheng, three Wu metropolis, Qiantang has been prosperous since ancient times. Smoke willow painting bridge, wind curtain green curtain, jagged 100,000 homes. Clouds and trees around the sand, angry waves roll frost and snow, the sky is endless. City column Pearl, Huying Luoqi, competitive luxury.
Heavy lake stacked with Qingjia. There are three autumn guizi and ten lotus flowers. Qiangguan makes it clear, Lingge pans the night, and plays fishing for Lotus Baba. A thousand riders with high teeth. Take a drunken listen to the drums and enjoy the smoke. The other-day map will be a good scene, return to Fengchiqua.
The poem was written in 1003 during the reign of Emperor Renzong of Song, when the city was more prosperous than ever, and Liu Yong visited Suzhou in Yangzhou and headed south to Hangzhou. The prosperity of the city left a deep impression on Liu Yong.

"Southeast shape wins, three Wu metropolis, Qiantang has been prosperous since ancient times", Qiantang is today's Hangzhou, "southeast shape win" is to say that its geographical location is very superior, is the capital of three Wu, here has been very prosperous since ancient times. The first three sentences, from the big place, always write the geographical key of Qiantang. This kind of straight-up and straight writing method we have also seen in Wang Bo's "Preface to the Tengwang Pavilion", which begins with the geographical location of the Tengwang Pavilion. Among them, "shape wins" and "prosperity" is the finishing touch and the general summary.
Next write about the specific scenery. Here the scenery is beautiful, there are willow trees like smoke, there are small bridges flowing water, far away, the people are flourishing, all kinds of building eaves are wrong, the height is uneven, the jagged falls, the curtains of the wind, the blue curtain, the gorgeous bridge, constitute a quiet scene. In such a beautiful scenery, there are about 100,000 people living in it, and these three sentences are written about the living environment of the people in the city.
Then the six sentences are divided into two groups, and the first three sentences write that outside the city, there are sand embankments, waves, and endless rivers outside the city. The trees on the banks of the Qiantang River are lush and lush, and from a distance, they look like clouds and mist. Here a "winding" character writes the meandering of the river embankment. "Furious waves roll frost and snow", written about the surging and mighty Qiantang River. "The waves crash on the shore and roll up a thousand piles of snow" is the same mood. Although Liu Yong did not write about the grand scene of the Qiantang Tide, he wrote about its surging waves.
The last three sentences write that in the city, the market in the city is full of precious jewels, and the pedestrians who come and go are wearing silk silk, and they seem to be competing to show their luxury.
"Huying Luoqi", the original meaning is that every household is full of silk silk, and "city column pearls" opposite, indicating that the material is greatly rich, of course, here is an exaggerated way to write. It is impossible for every household to be like this, in order to show the luxury of the people at that time, he chose the "Zhujie" in the city and the "Luoqi" in the family, which can also be seen as a borrowing, indicating that the author is carefully taken.
In short, the upper part of the word writes "Qiantang has been prosperous since ancient times", from general to concrete, and carefully depicts the prosperity and prosperity of the "shape victory" and "metropolis" mentioned in the opening paragraph.
Writing about Hangzhou, how can you get less west lake, and the next piece of the word uses a large length to write about west lake. Because there are White Causeway and Su Causeway on the West Lake, the West Lake is divided into The Inner Lake and the Outer Lake. The heavy lake of "Heavy Lake Stacked and Qingjia" is what it means. Whether it is the inner lake, the outer lake or the overlapping mountains around the lake, they are all beautiful and pleasant.
As in the previous film, there is always an overview of the lake and mountains, which is described later. He selected two kinds of scenery with representative characteristics of Hangzhou's West Lake, "Guizi" and "Lotus", man is the spirit of all things, and added human activities, "Qiang Guan" and "LingGe", from the scenery and characters to write the beauty of the West Lake.
"Three Autumn Guizi", "Ten Mile Lotus", "Qiangguan Lane Clear, Lingge Pan Night" two groups of battles, highly condensed. From a seasonal point of view, Guizi belongs to autumn, lotus belongs to summer, from the time point of view, Qiangguan melodious in the clear day, Ling Song swaying in the romantic 2-finger emperor forbidden garden in the pond swamp, this sentence means to depict this beautiful scenery, dedicated to the imperial court, and boast to colleagues.
When Liu Yong wrote this poem, there was a court official Sun He in Hangzhou, liu Yong wanted to go to see him, but this big member was strict, if it was not a celebrity, it would not be possible to see, in this case, Liu Yong created this poem, so that the famous prostitutes in Jiangnan at that time brought this word to this big official to introduce him. It can be said that these last five sentences have the meaning of praising this great officer, and also have the intention of wishing.
Sun He also loved Cai, and when he saw Liu Yong's words, he was impressed by his talent and treated him with courtesy.
Liu Yong's poem "Looking at the Sea Tide" stirred up many people's Jiangnan dreams, since ancient times, there are many poems describing Jiangnan, and Bai Juyi, who we know as well, has a group of poems called "Remembering Jiangnan", but among the many poems that sing Hangzhou and Qiantang, only Liu Yong's poem writes the grand situation of Qiantang, and realistically depicts the lake, mountains, and scenery figures. It is said that after hearing this poem, the gold lord Who was coveting the Song Dynasty at that time, Guanyan Liang, coveted the wealth of Qiantang and "raised the whip to cut off the flow, and immediately Wushan" ambition, which can also be seen from the great influence of Liu Yong's word.
