I stayed in a small mountain building at Jinling Ferry. I felt so sad all night that I couldn't sleep. Looking out the window, the ebbing night river is immersed in the light of the slanting moon. On the background of the misty cold water, I suddenly see a few sparks flickering in the distance. That is Guazhou!

Wang Wei of the Tang Dynasty
Chu and three Hunan provinces are connected, and the nine factions of Jingmen are connected.

It’s a nice windy day in Xiangyang, but I’m left drunk with the mountain man.
