The main stream of Cao 'e River flows through Shengzhou, Shaoxing City, Zhejiang Province, and is called Tanxi, or Tanjiang, Tanting, Daiwan and Dai Kui Beach. On both sides of Tunxi River, thousands of rivers and valleys contend, and all sources converge, or rush or converge. Shanxi winds its way back to Shengzhou for 32.2 kilometers. There are East Gate, Hutu Lake, Zhushan, Yuxi, Shanshutan, Xianyan, Qingfeng, Zhangpu, Yuantouzhu and other scenic spots, which are collectively called the Nine Scenes of Tongxi.
"The moon shines on my shadow, and I shine on the Yanhe River." From: Climbing Mount Tianmu in a Dream is a poem by Li Bai, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty.
Excerpt from the original:
The moon lit up my shadow and I came to Yanhe.
Xie 'an is still there, with a loud voice and rippling blue waves.
I wore Xie's earliest spiked shoes and climbed the Qingyun ladder.
Halfway through the sunny ocean, the sacred rooster crows in space.
Translation:
The moonlight on Jinghu Lake shines on my shadow, always accompanying me to Tongxi.
The place where Xie Lingyun lived is still there today. The clear lake is rippling and apes are singing.
Wearing Xie Gong's special wooden shoes on his feet, he climbed the mountain road and went straight into the sky.
Halfway up the mountain, I saw the sun rising from the sea, and the crow of pheasants came from the air.
Information about Shanxi:
Tongxi is the mother river of Shengzhou with a long history. As early as the Tang Dynasty, many literati entered the Range Rover and left many famous sentences, forming the road of Tang poetry.
Chengtan River, commonly known as Nanjiang River, is also known as "Xiongjiang River" because of its steep bottom slope and rapid water potential. Changle River, also known as Xijiang River, has a flat bottom and moderate water flow, and is called "Female River". When the flood comes, after the two rivers meet, there is a slender silver ribbon water flow in the middle to separate the male and female waters. The south is turbid and turbulent, and the north is clear and flat, forming a river with two streams embedded in it, which is a spectacle until the distance.
Tongxi to Shangyu is connected with Cao 'e River. Surrounded by green hills and winding streams, there has long been a scenic spot of "Tunxi Nine Songs" in history. Historic sites along the stream overlap, and many poets and bachelors lived or traveled in the past dynasties, leaving countless famous sentences and stories.
