The tide in Zhejiang is a great sight in the world. From the beginning to the 18th day, it was the most prosperous. Fang Qiyuan went out from the sea gate, just like a silver thread, and then gradually, the Yucheng Snow Ridge came from the sky, loud as thunder, shocking and surging, swallowing the sky and fertile sun, and it was extremely majestic. "Watching the tide of the Qianjiang River can be done on both the north and south banks. The tide-watching areas on the south bank are all within the sandy area, especially the Qinglong Mountain and Zheshan areas. Every year from the Mid-Autumn Festival to the 19th of August, dozens of miles The young men and women from other places rushed to the riverside to enjoy this masterpiece of nature. During the event, there is also a specially trained navy who performs "tide-making" performances for the spectators. Song Dynasty poet Pan Lang said: "Tide-driving people stand against the tide and hold the red flag in their hands without getting wet." This is what he refers to. Zhou Mi gave a more specific and vivid description of this in "Guan Tide": "Hundreds of good tourists, all with tattoos on their hair, holding ten large colorful flags, rushed upstream to meet the waves of whales. In Renzhong, the body of the flag can be transformed into various forms, while the tail of the flag is not even wet. This is used to praise one's ability, and the rich and powerful people compete for silver and gold. "Now it seems that this kind of tide-making skills is simply unbelievable. Maybe they chose the location near Hangzhou so that the dignitaries of the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty can appreciate it, and that place is already the tail of the tide. If there is a big tide, , the tide has an impact of more than seven tons per square meter, and the boulders weighing thousands of kilograms of slope protection are often swept away. It can be said that "the turbulent waves are emptying, and the rivers and seas are destroyed." It is vulnerable to test the tide.

The raging tide of the Yangtze River is the most spectacular in the world. From August 16th to August 18th every year, the tide is at its strongest during this period. When the sea tide appears from the distant seaport, it is just like a white silver line. After a while, it slowly approaches. The white waves tower like castles made of white jade and mountains made of white snow. The waves seem to be piled down from the sky. It made a loud sound, like deafening thunder. The waves are turbulent, as if they have swallowed up the blue sky and washed away the sun. They are very majestic and heroic. Yang Chengzhai once said in a poem: "The sea water surges up and becomes a city filled with silver; the Qiantang River lies sideways, and the tide ties a white jade belt around it." It's like this.
Every year, the chief of Lin'an Prefecture goes to the Zhejiang Court to review the navy. Hundreds of huge warships are arranged on both sides of the river. Sometimes all the warships rush forward, sometimes separate; sometimes they gather, forming five There were people riding horses, wielding flags and javelins, and wielding swords on the water, as if they were walking on flat ground. Suddenly, yellow smoke shot up everywhere, no one could see the characters at all, and the sound of explosions in the water shook like a mountain collapsing. After a while, the smoke dissipated and the water became calm. No big ship could be seen. Only the warship that served as an enemy warship during the exercise was burned by fire and sank to the bottom of the sea along with the water waves.
There are hundreds of athletes in Zhejiang who are good at swimming. Everyone has their hair down, their bodies covered with tattoos, and they hold ten long large colorful flags in their hands. Everyone bravely rushed against the current and rode up the waves. In the extremely high waves, they appeared and disappeared, jumping up and down, and their postures changed. However, the tail of the flag was not wetted by the water at all, so as to show off their talents. . The rich and distinguished officials rushed to reward them with silver colored silk. For more than ten miles up and down the river bank, there were spectators wearing gorgeous jewelry and clothes. There were too many cars and horses, and the road was blocked. The food and drink items sold are twice as expensive as usual. The tents rented by tourists for viewing did not even have enough space to accommodate one person, so they were very crowded.
