original text
Nine streams and eighteen streams are the highest in the mountain.
I have heard about it for a long time, but now my interest in it is poor.
Mountain after mountain winds around the road.
Tintin winter winter spring, the trees fall high.
Yu Yue, a scholar in the late Qing Dynasty, described this scene as the "Jiujiang Shibashui Scenic Spot" scenic spot only ten miles away from Hangzhou West Lake. He disapproved of Bai Juyi's praise of cold spring as "the most beautiful and secluded". He said: "Nine streams and eighteen streams are the best places in the West Lake, especially on the cold springs." And ingenious, so he made a refrain to praise Jiuxi.
This poem depicts the beautiful scenery in the mountains with repeated overlapping words. Each group of overlapping words only describes the characteristics of different landscapes.

People's Daily Online (Some Understanding of Yu Yue): Yu Yue is a well-read Confucian, and his academic achievements are good at "communication". As far as his writings are concerned, it seems that the research in specific fields is not as profound as the achievements of later scholars.
But as far as Yu Yue is concerned, its academic status is not only reflected in the concrete research results, but also reflected in the inheritance of traditional academics. He himself has repeatedly stressed that his academic orientation is "learning after learning". Yu Yue's three representative works were completed from 1864 to 1868, which had an important influence on the traditional academic development in the next decade or two.
