Wanghu Tower - beside the West Lake outside Tangmen, Hangzhou.

The West Lake in summer is sometimes cloudy, sunny, windy, or rainy. This little poem describes the scene of the West Lake, which changes from rain to sunshine and changes in wind and clouds.

The first two sentences describe clouds and rain: thick, black clouds like ink rolled in, and before they had time to cover the mountains by the lake, heavy white rain fell on the lake, and the rain's feet beat on the lake. The water splashed, like countless crystal pearls, jumping into the cabin of the swimming boat. "Black clouds turn ink" and "white rain dances with beads", two vivid metaphors, not only describe the tense atmosphere when the weather suddenly changes, but also highlight the poet's joyful mood of enjoying the rain in the boat.

The third sentence writes about wind: Suddenly, a strong wind swept across the earth, causing the rain and clouds to fly on the lake. The word "suddenly" is used very lightly, but it highlights the rapid change of the sky and shows the huge power of the wind.

The last sentence writes about sky and water: After the rain, the sky cleared, the wind and waves calmed down, the poet abandoned his boat and climbed up the building, leaning on the railing and looking out, he saw no water on the lake, the water reflected the sky, the color of the water was as bright and clear as the sky, and the same color was blue. Where is the wind? Where is the cloud? I don’t know where everything has gone. It’s as if everything just now never happened.

The poet was first in the boat and then at the top of the building, quickly capturing the dramatic changes in the natural scenery on the lake: clouds rolling, rain pouring, wind blowing, and the sky clearing. He wrote about things far and near, moving and moving. Quiet, with sound and color, scenery and emotions. As you read it, you will have an immersive feeling - as if you have experienced a sudden shower in the middle of the lake, and then come to the top of Wanghu Tower to enjoy the beautiful scenery of water and sky.
