Creation background

Li Daoyuan was born in an official family. When I was a child, I went to Shandong with my father to seek waterways. Later, he traveled the Qinling Mountains, north of Huaihe River and south of the Great Wall, inspected river valleys, collected relevant customs, historical stories, myths and legends, and created 40 volumes of Notes on Water Mirrors. Nominally, it is based on the annotation of Shui Jing Zhu, but actually it is a re-creation on the basis of Shui Jing Zhu.

This book describes 1252 rivers, and related historical sites, anecdotes, myths and legends. , nearly 1000 more than the original, the text has increased by more than 20 times, and the content is much richer than the original water mirror.
