Crossing Xiaogushan Dagushan

translate

On August 1 day, (the ship) passed the bonfire rock. Since the Southern Dynasties, many beacon towers have been set up from Wuchang (now Hubei) to Jingkou, and this mountain should be one of them. Looking at the mountains from the boat, all you see is the towering peaks. When I anchored my boat and walked down the hillside, I saw the rocks embedded in the cave, which were grotesque, bright and moist, not much different from other rocks. There is also a boulder that is not connected with the bonfire rock. It is towering and majestic, about 100 feet high, covered with red vines and green vines, like a screen inlaid with jewels. On this day, it was calm and the boat walked slowly. Because the river was shallow in late autumn, you could see all the beautiful scenery here. (Just now, Fu Shuo: "Fortunately, the ship is late, and it is wonderful to be late." After Penglangji and Xiaogushan, the two mountains face each other from east to west.

Xiaogushan belongs to susong county, Zhou Shu, and there are soldiers on it. Jinshan, Jiao Shan, Luoxingshan and other isolated mountains in the river are all world-famous, but they are not as beautiful as Xiaogushan in terms of precipitous beauty. From dozens of miles away, the green peaks of Xiaogushan stand tall and towering into the sky, which is no longer comparable to other mountains. The more you look at it, the more beautiful it is. In winter, summer, sunny and rainy days, the posture changes greatly, and it is indeed the most beautiful place in nature. It's just that the temple (on the mountain) is too desolate and broken. Adding more pavilions and pavilions is naturally more beautiful than Jinshan. This temple is at the foot of the western hills. The word "Huiji" is written on the plaque, and God calls it "Mrs. Anji". In the early years of Shaoxing, Wang Wei Zhang Jun came back from Hunan and had it repaired. A monument recorded this. Peng Longji also has a temple in pengze county, Jiangzhou, facing the Yangtze River. The reflection of the mountain is reflected in the water, which is also a famous mountain. When the ship passes through Penglangji, even if there is no wind, the waves are very big, so Penglangji is probably named after it.

The ancients had a poem: "The passengers on board were not crazy. My sister-in-law married Lang Peng the year before last." Legend has it that there is a statue of Lang Peng in Xiaogushan Temple and a statue of her sister-in-law in Penglangji Temple, but this is not the case. That night, (my ship) stopped at Shajia, about a mile away from Xiaogushan. It's raining, so I went to visit the temple in Xiaogushan by boat. Looking to the south, Pengze and Duchang mountains are surrounded by misty rain, and Sha Ou and Egrets appear and disappear. Climbing the mountain and visiting the scenic spots near the water is also the pinnacle, and I lingered for a long time before going back. Standing at the gate of the temple, a strong and handsome eagle is chasing waterfowl and flying over the southeast of the river, which is very spectacular. The temple keeper said that there were many eagles living on the mountain.

The next morning, after walking less than 20 miles, the wind suddenly surged and the rope was tied in a hurry. After a while, it cleared up again and (the ship) moved on. When I rowed to the mouth of Peng Li, there was no margin when I looked around. Only then did I understand the beauty of Li Bai's sentence "Sail into the Sky Mirror". Only then did I see Lushan Mountain and Dagushan Mountain. Dagushan looks like West Liangshan Mountain. Although it is not as beautiful as Xiaogushan, there are several sandbars and nascent reeds beside Xiaogushan. Dagu Mountain is surrounded by endless rivers. Looking from a distance, just like floating on the water, it is also a spectacle! The Yangtze River branches from Hukou to Nanjiang, which is the water area along Jiangxi Road. The water in the Yangtze River is very turbid. Whenever we want to use river water, we need to use almonds to clarify it, and we can't drink it until one night. The water in Nanjiang is very clear, and the intersection of the two rivers is not as chaotic as it is with a rope ruler. Arrive in Jiangzhou in the evening. The state capital is located in Dehua County, which is Xunyang County in the Tang Dynasty. Chai Sang and Li Li belong to Jiangzhou; In the Southern Tang Dynasty, it was under the jurisdiction of Fenghua Army, and now it is Dingjiang Army. The soil on the shore is red and stands upright like a wall. This is what Mr. Dongpo said, "The boatman points the shore like a shovel." (Ship) moored at Songpukou, the water is clear and does not mix with the river. It's only six days from July 26th to today. One day, because of the wind resistance, it was impossible to sail. In fact, it took four and a half days to sail 700 miles against the current.

Zhou translated my master's thesis "Xieniuzhuang"

There is a chef named Ding who specializes in slaughtering cattle. Wherever his hands touch, his shoulders rest, his feet step on, and his knees stand, he makes a sound of separation of flesh and blood, and the knife goes in, making a louder noise. All these sounds are not out of tune. In tune with the dance rhythm accompanied by Sang Lin and Jing Shou.

Liang said, "Hey! All right! How can your technology be so clever? "

My master put down the knife and replied, "I am exploring the law of things, which has surpassed the pursuit of cattle slaughter technology." When I first started slaughtering cattle, I only saw the whole cow (I don't know the structure of the cow). After three years, I will never see the whole cow again. Now, when the lieutenants slaughter cattle, they only need to touch the body of the cattle with their minds, without looking at it with their eyes, just as the sensory organs stop moving and are moving with their mental will. Along the grain structure of cattle, splitting the big gap between bones and muscles, and making knives along the holes between joints are all along the original structure of cattle. The knife for slaughtering cattle has never touched the place where the meridians are connected, or where the muscles attached to the bones gather, let alone the big bones of the thighs. Skilled chefs change a knife every year because they use it to cut meat. Ordinary chefs change a knife every month because it is used to cut bones. Now the servant's knife has been used for 19 years, killing thousands of cows, but the blade looks like it has just been ground from the grindstone. There are cracks in the joints of cattle, but the blade is not thick. If you use such a thin blade to pierce a seam with a gap, you must be generous and have room to operate the blade. Therefore, after using 19 years, the blade still looks like it has just been ground from the grindstone. Even so, every time I meet a place where bones and muscles are intertwined, I am afraid and cautious when I see that it is difficult to get a knife, my eyes are focused and my movements are slow. The knife moved gently, and the flesh and blood separated with a crash, like a pile of mud scattered on the ground. I stood there, knife in hand, looking around proudly for this success, looking carefree and satisfied. Wipe the knife clean and put it away. "

Liang said, "Good! I listened to my words and learned the way of keeping in good health. "

Xiang Yu's Death (Translation)

King Xiang's army camped in Gaixia, and the serenade ran out of food. Han army and vassal soldiers surrounded him for several layers. Late at night, when he heard the Han army singing songs about Chu, Wang Xiang was very surprised and said, "Has Han completely acquired Chu?" ? Why are there so many people in Chu? King Xiang stayed up all night, drinking in his tent. There is a beauty and fame, he has always been favored by Wang Xiang; There is a famous horse named Zhu, and Wang Xiang has been riding it. At this time, Wang Xiang couldn't help but lament generously, and wrote a poem, singing: "Great strength can pull out mountains, and heroism can overwhelm the world. If you are unlucky, the horse will not rush forward!" "concubine, what can I do if I don't rush forward? How can I arrange you properly? " Wang Xiang sang several times, and the beautiful princess answered. Wang Xiang was in tears, and so were the waiters around him. No one can look up and see him.

Xiang mounted his horse, took more than 800 warriors, and fled south in deus ex at night. At dawn, the Han army realized and ordered the rider Guan Ying to lead five thousand cavalry to catch up. King Xiang crossed the Huaihe River, and only a hundred strong men could keep up. Wang Xiang got lost when he arrived at Yinling. He asked a farmer, and the farmer lied to him and said, "Turn left." Xiang Wang led his men to the left and got stuck in the swamp. So the Han soldiers caught up with them. Xiang Wang took the cavalry to the east and arrived in Dongcheng. There are only 28 people left at this time. Thousands of people were overtaken by Han cavalry. Wang Xiang himself estimated that he could not escape, so he said to his cavalry, "I have led the uprising for eight years, and I personally fought more than 70 wars. All the enemies I resisted were defeated, and all the enemies I attacked surrendered and never failed, so I was able to dominate the world. But now I'm finally stuck here. It's because God wants to destroy me, not because of the fight. Today, I must make up my mind to die I am willing to give you a good fight, and I will win three times. I want to break through the encirclement, slay the Han generals and cut down the military flag, so that you can know that God really wants to destroy me, and it is by no means the fault of combat. "

So the cavalry was divided into four teams, facing four directions. The Han army surrounded them for several floors. King Xiang said to the cavalry, "I'll take a Han general for you!" " "He ordered knights from all directions to gallop down the mountain, and agreed to rush to the east of the mountain and meet in three places. So Wang Xiang let out a cry and rushed down, and the Han army fell down like grass and trees lodging in the wind. Wang Xiang killed a Han general. At this time, Chiquan Hou Yangxi rode to the Han army and chased Wang Xiang behind. Wang Xiang glared at him and scolded him. Hou Lian of Chiquan fell back several miles in fright. King Xiang and his cavalry met in three places. The Han army didn't know the whereabouts of Wang Xiang, so they divided into three ways and surrounded again. Wang Ce Ma Chong went up, beheaded another captain of the Han army, killed one hundred and eighty people, assembled cavalry, and lost only two people. King Xiang asked the cavalry, "How's it going?" The cavalry said respectfully, "just like the king said." "

At this time, Wang Xiang wanted to cross the Wujiang River eastward. Director of Wujiang Pavilion was waiting to dock there, and said to Wang Xiang, "Although Jiangdong is small, with a land of a thousand miles and hundreds of thousands of people, it is enough to be king. I hope your majesty will cross the river quickly. Now I'm the only boat here, and the Han army has arrived and can't get through. " King Xiang said with a smile, "God wants to destroy me, so why should I cross the Wujiang River?" ! Besides, eight thousand children from Jiangdong and I crossed the river to the west, and no one has come back now. Even if my friends in Jiangdong love me and make me king, how can I face them? Even if they don't say anything, don't I feel guilty in Ji Xiang? So he said to the curator, "I know you are a loyal elder. I have been riding this horse for five years and I am invincible. I used to walk thousands of miles every day. I can't bear to kill it for you. "Command the cavalry to dismount and walk, and engage the troops with short weapons. Ji Xiang alone killed hundreds of Han troops. Wang Xiang also suffered more than a dozen injuries. Wang Xiang looked back and saw the Han army riding Sima Lv Matong. He said, "Aren't you my old acquaintance?" At this moment, stable boy and Wang Xiang met, so he pointed to Wang Hao and said, "This is Wang Xiang. Wang Xiang said, "I heard that Hanwang offered a reward of 1,000 kilograms of gold for every family in the city to ask for my head. I will give you this benefit! " Say that finish, committed suicide.

Afanggongshang

The Six Kingdoms perished, and Qin Shihuang unified China. All the trees in Shushan were cut down and Epang Palace was built. Epang Palace covers an area of more than 300 miles, covered with pavilions and pavilions. The palace was built in the north of Lishan Mountain, and it zigzagged westward to Xianyang, Qin Jing. Two rivers, Weishui River and Fanchuan River, ripple into the palace wall. Five steps to the building, ten steps to the pavilion. The corridor is wide and tortuous, and the eaves (such as bird's beak) are tilted upward. Pavilions and pavilions are built according to the terrain, like hugging each other. The high and low angles of the palace are connected like hooks, and the cornices are opposite, like fighting. Circling, zigzag, closely connected like a honeycomb, rotating like a whirlpool, there are tens of millions of people standing. The bridge spans the Weihe River. (People who see it should be surprised:) There are no clouds in the sky. How can there be a dragon? The wooden passages between pavilions and terraces are colorful. (People will be surprised to see it:) If it wasn't for the rain, where did the rainbow come from? Because of the high and low terrain, pavilions make people unable to tell the east and west directions. People sing on the stage, and the music rings, as if full of warmth, like spring. People dance in the temple, their sleeves fluttering, which seems to bring cold, as cold as wind and rain. On the same day, in the same palace, the climate can be so different

The concubines and princesses who died in the country bid farewell to the pavilions of their own country, took a bus to the State of Qin, sang and played the piano day and night, and became maids in Qin Gong. The shining stars are the mirror of dressing. Lv Yun fills the air, it turns out that they comb the bun in the morning; There is a layer of dirt floating on the Weihe River, which turned out to be powder water sprinkled by them; The air is full of smoke, and they are burning pepper orchid spices. The emperor's palace car passed by, and the sound was like thunder, which was shocking at first sight; Listening to the sound of the car drifting away, I don't know where it went. Any part of the skin, any kind of appearance, is extremely charming, standing patiently for a long time, hoping that the emperor can come in person. However, many ladies-in-waiting have waited for 36 years and have not seen the emperor.

The treasures collected, accumulated and sought by Yan, Zhao, Han, Wei, Qi and Chu have been plundered from the people for generations and years, piling up like mountains. Once the country dies, it can't be possessed, and it is all transported to Epang Palace. Here, Baoding is regarded as an iron pot, jewels are regarded as stones, gold is regarded as clods, and pearls are regarded as sand stones, which are discarded at will. Qin people don't feel sorry for it. A person's heart is the heart of thousands of people in Qian Qian. Qin Shihuang loved luxury, and ordinary people also cared about their possessions. Why don't you let go of every penny of people's property, but don't cherish it when you squander it? There are more pillars in Epang Palace than farmers in the field. There are more rafters on the beam than women workers on the loom; There are more conspicuous nails than rice in the barn; There are more tiles on people than clothes; The railings are more vertical and horizontal than the battlements in the world; Noisy instrumental music is louder than people in downtown areas. The rulers of the Qin dynasty were arrogant and extravagant, which made the people in the world dare to be angry but dare not speak. Qin Shihuang, a single husband, became more and more arrogant and stubborn. As a result, Bobby Chen and Guangwu rose up and the quartet responded. Liu bang breached Hangu Pass and Xiang Yu set fire to it. Unfortunately, the resplendent Epang Palace has become a scorched earth.

Alas! It is the six countries themselves that destroy the six countries, not Qin; It was Qin himself who destroyed Qin, not everyone in the world. Alas! If the rulers of the six countries can care about their own people, then they have enough strength to resist the state of Qin. If the rulers of the State of Qin can also take care of the people of the six countries, then the State of Qin can be handed down from the third generation, and even passed down to generations as kings. Who can destroy Qin? The rulers of the Qin dynasty had no time to lament their own demise, so they had to let future generations lament for them; If future generations only lament and don't take warning, they should be lamented by future generations.

Fangshan Zichuan

Fang is a hermit in Gwangju and Huangzhou. When I was a child, I admired Jia Zhu and Guo Jie, the rangers of the Han Dynasty, and all the rangers in the village respected him. When I was a little older, I changed my interest and studied hard, hoping to become famous in the contemporary era, but I never had good luck. In his later years, he lived in seclusion in a place called Qiting in Huangzhou, Gwangju. Live in a hut, eat vegetarian food, and don't associate with all walks of life. Give up the car, ruin the scholar's coat and hat, walk around, no one knows in the mountains. When people saw that his hat was square and tall, they said, "Isn't this the Fangshan crown worn by ancient musicians?" Therefore, he is called "Fang Zishan".

I happened to meet him once when I passed the pavilion because I was demoted to live in Huangzhou. I said, "Oh, this is my old friend Chen Nian Chen Jichang. How can he live here? " Fang was also surprised to ask me why I came here. I told him the reason, and he bowed his head and said nothing, and then smiled and invited me to live in his house. The walls of his house are depressing, but his wife, children and slaves all look happy.

I was very surprised by this. I remembered that Fang was a ranger when he was young. He was addicted to drinking and making swords and spending money like water. Nineteen years ago, when I was in Qixia, I saw Fang hunting in the western hills with two attendants riding horses and two arrows hidden. He saw a magpie flying ahead, so he told his followers to chase and shoot the magpie, but he missed. Fang tightened the reins and jumped forward alone, hitting the flying magpie with an arrow. He immediately talked to me about the way of fighting, about the success or failure of ancient and modern times, and thought he was a generation of heroes. How many days have passed so far, but there is still a heroic spirit in my brow. How can this be a person who lives in seclusion in the mountains?

Fang was born in a family that has been active for generations, so he should be an official. If he could enter the officialdom, he would be regarded as a senior official now. His original home was in Luoyang, and the garden houses were magnificent, which could be compared with Qi Huangong's home. Hebei has fields, and can earn thousands of silks every year, which is enough for a rich and comfortable life. However, he abandoned everything and decided to come to this lonely ravine. Isn't this because of his unique understanding?

It is said that there are many strange people in Huangzhou, Gwangju, who often pretend to be crazy and sell silly clothes, but they can't see them. Fang may meet them.

Translation of large iron vertebra

I don't know where he comes from. Chen Zican, a native of Beiping, went to Henan to visit his brother and met him at the home of General Song. Song is from Qinghua Town, Huaiqing County. He is proficient in martial arts, and martial arts lovers from seven nearby provinces come to learn from their teachers. People call him "General Song" because he is brave and diligent. Gao Xinzhi, a disciple of the Song family, was also from Huaiqing. He is strong and good at archery. He is seven years older than Zi Can. He studied together when he was a child, so he once went to visit General Song with him. At that time, there was an ugly guest with a big iron vertebra under his right armpit, weighing 40 to 50 Jin, even when he bowed while drinking and eating. The iron vertebral handle can be folded left and right, just like a locked bar, which is ten feet long. He seldom talks to people, and speaks with an accent of Hunan and Hubei. Ask his village and name and refuse to answer. Later, they shared a room, and in the middle of the night, the guest said, "I'm leaving!" " "Say that finish and went away. Seeing the doors and windows closed, Zi Can was surprised to ask new knowledge. Xinzhi said: "When this guest first arrived, he didn't wear a hat or socks, but wrapped his head in a blue towel and white cloth on his feet. "In addition to the big iron vertebra, I didn't bring any luggage, but I wrapped up a lot of money in my waist. Neither General Song nor I dare to ask him. " In order for the child to wake up, the guests have been playing soundly on the kang. One day, he bid farewell to General Song and said, "At first, I heard your name and thought you were a hero, but nothing happened. I'm leaving! General Song tried his best to keep him, and then said, "I once robbed a rogue of his property and killed them if I didn't listen. These bandit leaders asked me to be their leader, but I refused, so they hated me to death. Living here for a long time is bound to cause trouble. In the middle of the night, they asked me to fight somewhere. General Song said happily, "I rode a horse with a bow and arrow to help fight." The guest said, "No! Thieves are highly skilled and numerous. I can't fight happily if I want to protect you. " General Song always thinks himself great and wants to see the ability of his guests, so he strongly demands it. The guest had no choice but to go with him. At the duel site, (the guest) escorted Song Jiangjun to the empty bunker and said, "Just watch and be careful not to be silent, lest the thief know that you are here." At that time, the rooster crowed, the moon went down, the stars shone on the empty Yuan Ye, and people could be seen within a hundred paces. The guest ran down and blew a few times. In a short time, more than 20 thieves on horseback gathered from all directions, followed by 100 people carrying bows and arrows. One of the thieves ran up to the guest with a knife and said, "Why did you kill my brother?" ! Before I finished, I heard a guest call, "Spine!" " The thief immediately fell off his horse and his horse's head was completely cracked. The thief surrounded him, and the guest swung the iron vertebra calmly and fell to the ground on all sides, killing more than 30 people. General Song looked afraid to breathe, and his legs trembled as if he were going to fall down. Suddenly he heard the guest shout, "I'm leaving!" " Dust rolled up on the ground, and a cloud of black smoke rolled eastward. We haven't seen any guests since. Wei Xi commented: "Sean attacked Qin Shihuang with an iron vertebra in Bolangsha and got a Hercules; Big iron vertebra is probably such a person! God gave birth to extraordinary people, and they will definitely be needed. I read Chen Liang's "Zhongxing Inheritance". Among them, those who are heroic, outstanding and chivalrous are unknown, and they are not worthy of the name in contemporary times. Why so many? Don't all talents from heaven have to be used? Or should there be certain opportunities for the use of talents? When Zican met the big hammer, it was the first year of Kangxi. He should be about thirty years old, so Da Tie Zhui should be forty years old now. Zi Can saw that he wrote another note to buy things, and the sample book was quite neat. 」
