When will the songs and dances on the West Lake stop? The warm spring breeze is intoxicating, as if Hangzhou were Bianzhou.
Extended data:
It is meaningful for the poet to use "Hangzhou" instead of "West Lake". Because "West Lake" is in Hangzhou, but when it comes to "West Lake", it is the best place to travel, and it is only a scenic spot in Hangzhou. The poet's use of "Hangzhou" is in good contrast with the song capital "Bianzhou" (Bianzhou has been occupied by Jin people).
In contrast, it not only leads to the special name of Bianzhou, which is full of political significance, but also helps to express the poet's feelings-exposing the despicable behavior of "tourists" who ignore the future and destiny of the country, indulge in drunkenness and ignore the national economy and people's livelihood. At the same time, it also expresses the poet's deep concern about the fate of the country and the nation, and his anger at the rulers who only seek peace and surrender to the outside world.
