Shores

As the sun dips below the horizon, casting a golden glow across the tranquil waters of Lake Qingshan (青山湖), an electric energy begins to pulse through the air. The once-quiet shores of Hangzhou's western district are transformed into a vibrant tapestry of sound, color, and youthful exuberance.

The Picture of the Ode of the River Goddess The Picture of the Ode of the River Goddess, The Palace Museum in Beijing The Wei and Jin dynasties, the most elegant era in Chinese history, were full of poems and famous scholars, leaving behind countless brilliant literary works. Cao Zhi's Luo Shen Fu (洛神赋) is one of the most brilliant pieces. This long poem, about a traveler who meets a goddess on the shores of the Luo River, but who eventually parts from her because of the difference between the gods and the people, has its roots in the great poetic tradition of the Chinese people, but also contains the romance of Chinese native mythology. The poem Luo Shen Fu was depicted by another legend of the Wei and Jin dynasties, the painter Gu Kaizhi (348-406), in the form of painting: "The Picture of the Ode of the River Goddess".
