Translation of Lu You's Journey into Shu

The translation of Lu You's Book of Entering Shu is:

On the 23rd, I visited Miaozhen Temple when I passed Ningzhen Temple in Wushan. The magical use of real people is what everyone calls the witch mountain goddess. The temple faces Wushan Mountain, with peaks towering into the sky and the foot of the mountain directly inserted into the river. People say that Mount Tai, Huashan, Hengshan and Lushan are not as wonderful as here. But not all the twelve peaks in Wushan can be seen. Of the eight or nine peaks that can be seen, only goddess peak is the most slender and steep, which is suitable as the incarnation of the goddess. The person who presided over the sacrifice in the temple said, "On the night of August 15th every year, when the moon is in the sky, you can hear beautiful music, walk back and forth on the summit, and hear the monkeys on the mountain, and it will gradually stop at dawn." There is a stone altar halfway up the mountain behind the temple, which is relatively flat Legend: "Yu Xia met the goddess, and the goddess gave Yu Xia the charm of this place." There are twelve peaks on the stone altar, just like a barrier. On this day, the sky was clear and there was no cloud around. There are only a few white clouds on the goddess peak, just like the phoenix and the crane flying around in the sky for a long time, which is also a strange phenomenon.
