The Three Gorges in Li Daoyuan in the Southern and Northern Dynasties
The original text is from the 7-mile Three Gorges, with mountains on both sides and no gaps; Rocks are stacked, hiding the sky from the sun, and since midnight, there is no sunrise.
As for Xiashui Xiangling, it is blocked along the back. Or the king ordered an urgent announcement, and sometimes he went to the White Emperor and went to Jiangling at dusk, during which it was 1,2 miles. Although he rode the wind, he was ill.
in spring and winter, the green pool is turbulent and the reflection is clear. There are many strange cypresses, hanging springs and waterfalls, and flying to wash their views. Qing Rong jun Mao, a lot of fun.
At the beginning of every sunny day, the forest is cold and chilly, and there are often high apes whistling, which leads to sadness and sounds in the empty valley, and the sorrow turns to a long time. Therefore, the fisherman sang: "The Wuxia Gorge of the Three Gorges in Badong is long, and the apes sing three times and cry!"
translation
In the 7-mile Three Gorges, there are continuous mountains on both sides, without any (complete) interruption. Layers of cliffs cover the sky and the sun. If it is not at noon, you can't see the sun, and if it is not at midnight, you can't see the moon.
In summer, when the water rises and the river overflows the mountain, the upstream and downstream navigation channels are blocked, making navigation impossible. If the emperor's orders need to be conveyed quickly, sometimes they will leave Baidicheng early in the morning (by boat) and arrive in Jiangling in the evening.
The distance between them is 1,2 miles. Even riding a fine horse and driving a high wind, it is not so fast.
In spring and winter, there are whirling clear waves in the white rapids, and the shadows of various scenery are reflected in the green pools. There are many strange cypress trees growing on the extremely high peaks, and the hanging spring waterfall rushes between the peaks.
clear water, lush trees, high mountains and lush grass have a lot of fun.
(In autumn) Every day when it just clears up or it frosts in the morning, the Woods and mountain streams are cold and cold. The ape in the high place crowed with a long voice, and its voice was continuous and sad. The echo of the ape's cry came from the empty valley, which was sad and tactfully and disappeared for a long time.
So the fishermen in the Three Gorges sang: "The Wuxia Gorge in the Three Gorges of Badong is long, and the apes cry three times and touch their clothes!"
