Send Dr. Yan from Guizhou to use Nanzi.
Author Han Yu? the Tang Dynasty
The lush and prosperous land of Bagui is here, in southern Hunan. Jiangdu there is like a green gauze ribbon, and that mountain is like a jasper hairpin.
Every household digs out bluebird feathers, and every household grows its own Huang Gan. Far more than immortality, you don't need to climb to immortality by flying Luan as a mount.
Vernacular translation:
The gloomy and prosperous land of Bagui is located in southern Hunan.
Jiangdu there is like a green gauze belt, and the mountains are like jade hairpin.
Each family pays more for the feathers of the jade bird, and each family grows its own yellow gan.
It's far better than going to immortality, and you don't need to fly to immortality by flying Luan as a mount.
