Li Daoyuan [Southern and Northern Dynasties]
From the 7-mile Three Gorges, there are mountains on both sides, with no gaps. Rocks are stacked, hiding the sky from the sun, and since midnight, there is no sunrise.
As for Xiashui Xiangling, it is blocked along the back. Or the king ordered an urgent announcement, and sometimes he went to the White Emperor and went to Jiangling at dusk. During this period, although he took the wind, he did not take the disease.
In the spring and winter, the green pool is turbulent, and the reflection is clear. There are many strange cypresses, hanging springs and waterfalls, and flying in the meantime, it is clear and glorious, and it is very interesting.
At the beginning of each sunny day, the forest is cold and chilly, and there are often high apes whistling, which leads to sadness and sounds in the empty valley, and the sorrow turns to a long time. Therefore, the fisherman sang: "The Wuxia Gorge of the Three Gorges in Badong is long, and the apes sing three times with tears on their clothes."
Translation:
Between 7 miles of the Three Gorges, both banks are connected with high mountains, and there is no interruption at all. The overlapping peaks are like barriers, blocking the sky and the sun. If it is not noon or midnight, you can't see the sun or the moon.
when the river overflows the mountain in summer, the routes of the descending and ascending ships are blocked and impassable. Sometimes the emperor's orders need to be conveyed urgently. At this time, as long as you start from Baidicheng in the morning and arrive at Jiangling in the evening, there are 1,2 miles in the middle. Even riding a fast horse with Mercedes-Benz and driving the wind, it is not as fast as a boat.
In spring and winter, you can see white rapids, green pools and whirling clear waves, reflecting the shadows of various scenery. There are many grotesque pines and cypresses growing on the extremely high peaks, and there are hanging springs and waterfalls between the peaks. Clear water, glorious trees, steep mountains, lush grass and endless fun.
Every day in Chu Qing or in the morning when it is frosty, the woods and mountain streams are cool and quiet. There are often apes chirping in high places, and their voices are continuous, which makes them look very sad and sad. In the empty valley, the echo of apes chirping is sad and tactfully, and it will disappear for a long time. Therefore, the fishermen's ballad in the Three Gorges of Badong sang: "The Wuxia Gorge is the longest in the Three Gorges of Badong, and the cries of apes are so bleak that tears make people wet their clothes."
