Translation of the work
Oh, how dangerous and majestic it is!
The road to Shu is so difficult to climb that it is almost impossible to reach the sky.
It is said that Cancong and Yufu established the Kingdom of Shu.
The founding date is too long to be discussed in detail.
Since then, for about 48,000 years,
Qin and Shu were blocked by the Qinling Mountains and never communicated back and forth.
To the west, there is a trail that birds can pass on Mount Taibai.
You can cross the top of Mount Emei from the path.
The five heroes of Shu were crushed to death when the landslide and the earth tore apart.
Only then did the two places have a ladder and plank road connecting them.
There are mountaintops above that block the six dragon chariots of the Sun God.
Below there are huge rivers that empty out the tortuous waves.
The yellow crane, which is good at flying high, cannot fly over it.
Even if the hozen wanted to climb over, it would have trouble climbing.
Qingni Ridge twists and turns around the mountains,
It makes nine turns around the rocks within a hundred steps.
You can touch the Shenjing Star and make people look up and hold their breath.
Putting your hands on your chest makes you sigh in horror.
My good friend, when will you return from your journey to the west?
The scary rocky mountain plank road is really difficult to climb!
I saw the sad bird whining and crying on the ancient tree;
The male and female flew together among the primeval forests.
What I hear on a moonlit night is the sad cry of the cuckoo,
It makes me miss this desolate empty mountain!
The road to Shu is so difficult to walk, it is almost as difficult as climbing to the sky.
Why don’t people’s faces suddenly change when they hear this?
The peaks are connected and less than a foot away from the sky;
Withered pine and old branches hang upside down between the cliffs.
The whirlpools are whirling and the waterfalls are rushing and noisy;
The water and rocks hit each other and rotate like thousands of valleys thundering.
The place is so harsh and dangerous;
Alas, you, a guest from afar,
Why did you come to this dangerous place? ?
Jiange is a place so majestic and towering that it reaches into the clouds.
As long as one person guards it, it is difficult for thousands of troops to capture it.
If the garrisoned officials are not close relatives of the royal family;
It is inevitable that they will become wolves and stand here, which is not rebellion.
In the morning you have to be wary of avoiding tigers; in the evening you have to be vigilant and guard against the disaster of snakes.
Jackals, tigers and leopards grinding their teeth and sucking blood are really unsettling;
Poisonous snakes and ferocious beasts kill people like hemp, which makes you tremble with fear.
Although Jinguan City is a happy place;
It is better to return home as soon as it is so dangerous.
The road to Shu is so difficult to walk that it is almost impossible to reach the sky;
Looking sideways to the west makes people sigh with emotion!
