I. Original text
Sail from Jingmen Ferry, and soon you will be with southerners. At the end of the mountain range and the beginning of the plain, the river winds through the wilderness. The moon rises like a mirror, and the sea clouds twinkle like palaces. The water brings you the feeling of home and makes your boat travel 300 miles.
Second, translation.
The poet took a boat down the river and came to Jingmen after a long waterway. The mountain has come to an end, and the river is running on this wild land as far as the eye can see. The bright moon flows in the air, dancing in the air like a mirror. Clouds are full of gloom, unpredictable on the river, like a mirage. Although I have entered a foreign land, I am still attached to the mountains and rivers of my hometown, not far from Wan Li, and have been accompanying this wanderer.

Fourth, appreciate
This poem is lofty in artistic conception and vigorous in style. "The Mountain is Flat and Primitive" vividly depicts the unique scenery on both sides of the Yangtze River after the ship leaves the Three Gorges and passes through Jingmen Mountain. The word "Sui" turns from static, gradually changing and moving the position of the mountain and the river, which is truly expressed, giving people a sense of mobility and space.
And "River Wind Across the Wilderness" wrote a sentence about the momentum of the rushing river, which has a lofty realm. In particular, the word "Ru" shows great momentum, full of joy and high-spirited passion, and fully expresses the poet's lofty sentiments. These two sentences are not only written into the images of "Ye Ping" and "Wild" in Yuan Ye, but also magnificent; But it is also very vivid because of the dynamic description.
Although the river flows, the mountains and rivers are solidified, and the sense of "beginning and ending" comes entirely from the actual experience of rowing. The author walked in the Three Gorges area for many days, and suddenly saw the magnificent scenery, and the feeling of being suddenly enlightened can be imagined. Therefore, he wrote the geographical changes of the whole trip in highly concise language.
