Dai's Original Text and Translation

Dai's original text and translation are as follows:

I. Original text

Su Shan is 62 feet high and walks 200 steps back to 18 miles a week. At the foot of the mountain, there is a ridge of a stone man, which is tall and steep, shaped like a man and has a double bun. Over the ridge is Xixi, where hundreds of residents gather in villages and cities. According to legend, during the Southern Song Dynasty, Emperor Gaozong arrived in Wulin for the first time and hoped to become the capital because of his rich land. Later, I got the Phoenix Mountain. Nai Yun said, "Stay in Xixi." Later generations were named after him.

The land is secluded, there are many Gu Mei, and Meg is short and crooked, as big as Huangshan pine. Good people have their own places, and those who buy little are listed as pots and pools in small scenes. There is an autumn snow temple and a reed flower, which is as white as snow under the bright moon, which is a wonder.

I said the West Lake is really a good place in the south of the Yangtze River. People who enter it are tired of beauty and music. Those who want to find deep streams and valleys can avoid the world, such as gathering water in Taoyuan and focusing on Xixi. Yu Youjiang Road is dark, and there is a quiet house in Xixi, which attracts me and hides me. I was dusty, but I couldn't go there, and I still hold a grudge.

Second, translation.

Su Shan is sixty-two feet high, and it takes a hundred steps around once or twice. There is a ridge at the foot of the mountain called Shiren Ridge, which is tall, straight and firm, and its shape is similar to that of a human being. Two peaks similar to the warning (next to it) are also towering. Passing by (Shirenling) is Xixi, where hundreds of villagers live and gather to become villages and markets.

According to legend, Song Gaozong first went to Wulin in the south of the Northern Song Dynasty. Because this place is rich in products, he wants to build his capital here. Later, Phoenix Mountain was the capital, so Xixi was temporarily left (for the choice of the capital). (Xixi) It's remote and quiet, and it's much more ancient and beautiful. The branches of plum blossoms are short, curved and densely staggered, much like the pine trees in Huangshan.

People who like to play go to this place, buy some small (plum blossoms) and plant them in flower ponds or tree pots as exquisite landscapes. There is an autumn snow temple in this place with a reed flower in it. Under the bright moon, it is as white as snow. This is really a wonderful landscape.

I said that the West Lake is really a beautiful place in the south of the Yangtze River. When you go deep into it, your eyes will be satisfied with the gorgeous scenery and your ears will be satisfied with the music played by the flute. If you want to find deep streams and valleys, you can avoid the world of Taoyuan Chrysanthemum. You should regard Xixi as the best place.

My friend Jiang Daoyan has an exquisite house in Xixi and invited me to retire together. Because I was obsessed with the extravagant world, I didn't get there, and I still deeply regret it.

Zhang Dai's thought is both Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, with Confucianism as the main idea.

Zhang Dai dialectically summarized the artistic categories of "reality", "familiarity", "elegance", "elegance" and "rigidity" and applied them to artistic practice. Finally, Zhang Dai put forward the theory of "Mountain Crystal Knots Art", arguing that beauty is hierarchical, and artistic beauty is higher than natural beauty.
