Travel Notes on the Red Bridge
[Author] Wang Shizhen? [Dynasty] Qing Dynasty
Leaving Zhenhuaimen, follow the Little Qinhuai River and turn north, where there are many undulations on the Pei Bank In this state, the bamboos and trees are lush, and the clear water reflects them. People often use water as a garden, pavilion, tree and stone, and the streams and ponds are quiet and clear, which fully reflects the beauty of the four seasons. Take a small boat and go northwest along the river. At the end of the forest, there is a bridge, which looks like a hanging rainbow drinking in the stream. It is also like a beautiful woman wearing beautiful makeup and robes, flowing in the mirror, which is called a red bridge.
When tourists climb Pingshan Hall and head to Fahai Temple, leaving the boat and walking on land, they must go under the Red Bridge. There are lotus ponds on all sides of the bridge. In June and July, the flowers are blooming, and the fragrance can be smelled for miles. The green curtains and white boats are flowing in and out, which is a good way to travel. When traveling to and from Beiguo, I will definitely cross the Red Bridge and enjoy it.
As I climbed onto the bridge and looked around, I suddenly wandered and sighed. When sorrow and joy are intertwined, it is often impossible to explain the reason. The words of Wang Xieye City, the sadness of Jing Yanniu Mountain, looking back at the past now, there is also resentment! Renyin's Ji Xiawang and other disciples such as Xu'an, Chacun and Boyi made peace by singing. Xi'an became a chapter and was assigned to peace.
Sigh! Written on silk, bamboo and pottery, there is no need to be middle-aged; the clear sound of the mountains and rivers has become a good story of its own. It is constantly gathering and dispersing with the scholars, and the good association has not been easy to escape. The name of Hongqiao may have been passed down to later generations because of the disciples, which increases the nostalgia for the past. The wanderer sighs as if it is still unknown today.
