The Original Text, Annotation, Translation and Appreciation of Yao Ximeng's Climbing the Visible Peak

Yao Ximeng: Climbing the Fog Peak

Yao ximeng

To the south of Wu Shan, Lingyan looks at Taihu Lake clearest, reaching Tongjing and Xiqiao Mountain. The lake is straight and thin. However, looking west is ethereal and pitiful, even jasmine is blocked by ethereal, and can only be half-loaded. Yu, the husband of God, has made great contributions to the great river, and his words are final. Is it unintentional if he competes with the fourth degree? From Wanling, Laiyang and Quzhishui to Xin 'an and Tianmu, the people in Fiona Fang are all shocked by the huge valley. That is, it is close to the east of the sea, but it is piled up by the ridge. It is thick and slow, and its nature is slow and fierce. If it is not like a river, it will run to the Valley King day and night. The shape of the lake is located in the southeast, but in the northwest, so people who watch the lake must see its emptiness.

On September 17, take Xiaxia Bay, take Houtu Temple and turn right. Although the situation is steep, the path is calm, with stones on it, without all the hardships. Halfway up the mountain, after passing the Lingguan Hall, the road gradually became steeper and the lake gradually widened. Xu Bu climbed to the top of the mountain, and he was above Peng Ying. Vaguely, don't leave the two opposite sides, and the fragrant geese fall, shrink their backs and stretch out their snakes, the storks line up their camps, the geese splash ink, hold their heads high and dig their waists, and those who look left and right get 72, which is the only ethereal length. By competition, that is, it is not the ultimate pilgrimage after the group, but also several times in the Mubo altar, followed by arrogance! If it is a little ink, it is undisciplined to be a vassal of two mountains, while Luo Zhi is four-dimensional, and he is a servant. If it is awkward, if it is awkward, if it is a Dojo. To the west and south are Ruoxi, Luo Yi and Zhushan. If Tongguan and Limo are in the west, so is Jingxi Mountain. Fujiao is in the north of the west, and so is Jinling Mountain. If Huihe is in the north, then Liang Heshan is also in the north.

On that day, the north wind was cold and the fog covered the water. The peak is like a tassel, and the color of haze is gradually rising. Not far from the eyelids, in a trance. I listened to others pointing and staring, and the first cloud hung down, but I didn't accept it. The wind blew from behind the mountain and blocked it. When the sun goes down, the light waves are swaying, the lake is full of sunset, and fishing boats are dragging their nets, such as herons in the cold pavilion, standing still. It is also suspected that the peaks and mountains plus three or five hills, the waves move for a long time, the mountains shake, and if the wind blows the trees and moves the shore. In the evening, it turns golden, the mountains turn purple, and those who are far away from the lake turn purple. Its sky is everywhere, turning yellow and dazzling. Finally, it was spread by the wind Lord, and it was no longer listed as neon, but crimson festival, which was just a reincarnation of Xi. Suddenly, I saw a big Manizu, crystal clear, as if it rose at the beginning of the month, but it was not enough to fall. Cover reflection into water, its dispersion is melting gold, in order to go far. At the canyon of two mountains, they got together, and Jiao Ren didn't dare to swallow it, in order to offer a solution and be grateful to his family like everyone else.

Dimly discernible peak, also known as Miaofeng, is the main peak of Dongting Mountain in west taihu lake. Standing in the middle of the island, towering and ethereal. Climbing to the top, you can enjoy the scenery of Taihu Lake. Visitors to Taihu Lake since ancient times always love to climb the misty peak. Yuan Hongdao, a famous landscape poet in the Ming Dynasty, wrote in the article "West Dongting": "The mountain in the West Dongting is ethereal, strange as a stone man, expensive as a dragon, secluded as a forest house", and the victory of this mountain is also called "the view of the world".

Yao Ximeng's "Climbing the Mighty Peak" takes "climbing" as a clue and vividly records what he saw, heard and felt on the way. However, it is not a boring geography book, but a beautiful travel note.

It begins with Lingyan overlooking Taihu Lake near Mudu Town, Wuxian County. It is like a panoramic shot of a movie, which gives a general description of the geographical location, historical legends and vast momentum of Taihu Lake from far to near. It also points out the moving figure of the fog peak in the lake, which gives people a general understanding of the scenery of Taihu Lake. According to legend, Taihu Lake is the most "strong" compared with the "four blasphemies" of rivers, Huaihe River and economy. It covers the rivers and waters within hundreds of miles of Anhui and Zhejiang, and becomes a "giant valley" adjacent to the East China Sea. Judging from the situation, Taihu Lake "lies in the southeast, but lives in the northwest", and its water surface extends to the northwest, which is vast and far-reaching.

Then I wrote that I climbed the misty peak, I was nearsighted, and I was farsighted. I think the weather is myriad, and I am in Peng Ying, which makes me feel very high. Looking around, I saw the peaks facing each other, rolling and looking different. Some of them are like flying geese, some are shrinking, some are like storks lined up, and some are in a word or figure. Between the peaks, they echo each other and "look in all directions". Large and small, * * * has seventy-two peaks. Among these peaks, only the dimly discernible peak is the most magnificent. The surrounding peaks, like the four princes who appeared in front of the emperor, arch at the foot of the misty peak. The mountains in the distance, like a little ink, are "four-dimensional" and become ethereal guards. Looking at them one by one, some are like hats, some are small and dangerous, and some are like Dojo where Buddhist scriptures are recited. They are really beautiful.

When "the north wind is sharp and the fog covers the water" and "the haze begins", the lake and the mountain peaks are "in a trance" and become another scene. The fog moving in Ran Ran reached the mountain and brought it to the top of the mountain, with beautiful ears. The clouds at the foot of the mountain piled up layer by layer, and there was no edge in sight. The wind blew from the back of the mountain and was blocked by the mountain. The lake in front of the mountain is swaying gently. The setting sun shines on the light waves, making all the scenery on the lake shine with golden light. The distant mountain peak is purple, and the sunset that is about to disappear will turn into gold, like the Mani pearl made in Persia. "As crystal clear as the rising moon, the brightness will not be enough." The cover is reflected into the water, and its dispersion is molten gold, like rolling beads. It is like a mermaid in the water, and it is a treasure for tourists to enjoy and forget.

Climbing the faintly visible peak observes and describes the scenery of Taihu Lake in detail. The author describes the distant, near, high and low peaks in detail and aptly, and a series of metaphors are very apt, which shows that the author has an accurate grasp and profound experience of the beauty of the scenery described. What is even more commendable is the vivid description of the dynamic scenery in the changing situation, just like a sunset picture of Taihu Lake, a flowing picture. It makes people feel immersive.
