The water is blue-white, and you can see the bottom even in deep places. (River bottom) You can see the swimming fish and fine sand and gravel to the bottom without any obstacles. The turbulent river water is faster than an arrow, and the swift waves are like galloping horses.

The cicadas are always chirping, and the apes are not stopping when they are calling for them. Those who are eager for fame and fortune will calm down their desire for fame and fortune when they see these majestic mountain peaks; Those who deal with government affairs will be lingering over them if they see (these beautiful) valleys.
