W8: Zhihan’s Contribution

My job is to find appropriate images of buildings that are 1) relevant to Su Shi’s life and/or poems 2) high-quality and model-able. At this moment, I am almost done with modeling Huxin Pavilion of West Lake, Hangzhou, China.

Huxin Pavilion is a small pavilion in the middle of West Lake, one of the most famous lakes in China. When Su Shi lived in Hangzhou, he visited West Lake for many times and wrote the following famous poem:

[…]

I can’t help comparing West Lake to Lady West, her makeup; Just barely there or laid on thick: she’s exquisite either way.

Hinton, David. Mountain Home: the Wilderness Poetry of Ancient China[M]. Washington, D.C.: Counterpoint, 2002.

I hope my model could give other students a feel for the environment in which Su Shi wrote down these words.
