Classical Chinese in Youlong

1. The ancient prose "Youlong Gate" records that the west gate of Hejin County, three miles northwest, reached the Longmen. Everything is dangerous. It's freezing. The river comes from the northwest canyon, the mountain is cut off from water, and the two walls stand opposite each other. Shen Yu spared no effort in chiseling, which is really great. Take the wood from the southeast foot of the cave, and the floating water is a plank road, winding up. There is a wide flat land by the river, which can be two or three acres, with more stones and less soil. Among them, there is Yu Temple, and the palace is called Mingde, which is extremely magnificent. After entering the court, the moral thinker was dumbfounded for a long time. There are many green trees and strange trees in the yard, and the roots are covered with mud and stones. The branches and leaves are dense and shady, the epidermis is dry and vigorous, and the shape is determined. When a strong man leaves, he will be at loggerheads. Southwest of Gongmen, a stone peak ran out of danger. Step on the stone and climb to the top. There is a pavilion on the top, and the wind is high. Looking down at the pavilion door, the river is rushing, excited on three sides, and the stone peak is shaking. Ju Gu Canyon in the north, cliffs and green walls, clouds and fog, opened and closed, suddenly changed. In the west, it even bends. Looking east at the mountains, it is towering and floating in the sky. Looking to the south, Hong Tao overflows, Zhou Shi Shazhu, the plateau lacks shore, the smoky village is foggy, the sails are swaying, and Taihua, Tongguan and Yongyu Mountain seem to be visible. Covering the wonders of the world.

Under the chin, the road is in the east of the stone peak, crossing the stone cliff, and the wood is made out of nothing. The hole plate in the center of the building is equipped with a well bed pulley to hang the river. With the railing sill, the cool wind will drift away. If Lieyukou controls the air, he will stand in the air. After coming back from Shuilou North Road, I left the palace for more than 100 steps and arrived at Yougu. Suddenly I saw it. East of the mountain, west of the river, north and south of the valley are looking for feet. If crossing the old is a bridge, it is a step. 200 steps north of the valley, there is a small temple with flat terrain, named Houtu. The mountains in the north rise and fall steeply and cross the river. Then pity the temple east. If there is a stone niche, it is like a big house, with uneven hanging stones, human figures, bird wings, animal kisses, liver and lungs, warts, hanging, braids, uncut, and mines. The dripping stone hanging by the spring has a sound. The stones under the niche are listed vertically and horizontally, some are depressed, some are lying on their side, some are upright, some are on the bed, some are on the screen, some are able to sit and lean. Yin Qi is cloudy, although it is very hot, I don't know if it is annoying; But you can't stay long. You can return to the left stone ladder of Mingde Palace from Chaqiao Road. There is a courtyard on the mountainside in the southeast, which is comparable to Lin Siting in terrain and overlooking the rivers and mountains. Then walk down the plank road from the stone ladder, look at the crossing in the water and return to Dongshan.

It was noon in the first year of Xuande, and it was May 25th in summer. Fellow traveler, Yang Ye.

About the author: Xue Jue (1389- 1464) was born in Hejin (now Hejin County, Shanxi Province), whose real name was Wende, whose real name was Jingxuan, a scholar and writer in Ming Dynasty. In the 19th year of Yongle, Emperor Chengzu of Ming Dynasty, he entered the imperial examination and served as an official for several dynasties. When Xuanzong proclaimed himself emperor, he was awarded an empire. Because of his integrity, he did not flatter the powerful and disobeyed eunuch Wang Zhen, and was sentenced to capital imprisonment, and was released soon. During the reign of Emperor Yingzong, he paid homage to Assistant Minister and became a bachelor of Hanlin. He joined the cabinet to participate in confidential government affairs, was good at poetry and prose, and his style was elegant. He died of Wen Qing. Scholar, Hedong School, author of Xue Ji Du Shu and other works.

Inscription: Longmen: the mountain name, also known as Yumen, lies between Hejin County, Shanxi Province and Hancheng County, Shaanxi Province. The situation is dangerous, spanning the banks of the Yellow River, like a gate. The Yellow River flows through it, hence the name Longmen. According to legend, Dayu led the river here and cut through the river. Cliffs stand on both sides of the strait, facing east and west, and the Yellow River flows in between. The waves are rough and the weather is spectacular.

Taking the rushing Yellow River as the background, this paper describes the steep peaks of Longmen and praises Shen Yu's dredging project. The author uses strange and rough brushstrokes to outline the vastness of the scene, the grandeur of the momentum and the openness of the realm. However, the description of stone shapes such as stone niches is extremely delicate and vivid. This is a travel book with a lot of money in it. What the author pays attention to is not a grass, a tree, a water and a stone, but an overview of the scenery. With bold writing, a few strokes are outlined, not in shape, but in charm and momentum. For example, "Nanwang Flood, Shizhou Shazhu, Plateau Lack of Shore, Smoke Village Mist Trees, Sailing Waves" are all highly generalized descriptions, but they don't give people an abstract feeling at all, and their images are outstanding, the picture is complete and magnificent. Correspondingly, the author's writing style is vigorous, and every word is like a knife. All these bring distinctive features to this paper.

Then walk down the plank road from the stone ladder, look at the crossing in the water and return to Dongshan [65]. It was the third day of the first year of Xuande, and it was May 25th in summer.

4. The translation of Youlong climbed to the top of the mountain.

There is a Lin Siting on the top. Because the wind is too strong, it can't be built with wood, so it can only be built with masonry. Looking down at the pavilion door, the river is rushing, and the foot of the mountain is impacted in three directions, which is suspected to be swaying at the peak.

Looking at the Grand Canyon in the north, clouds rush out from the green walls of the red cliffs, sometimes dark, sometimes clear, and changing rapidly. Look at the mountain in the west, which is connected with the mountain. Looking east at the mountains, the sky is high.

Looking to the south, the raging flood is rolling. There are small plots of land composed of stones and sand in the water, rugged hills by the river, villages filled with smoke and trees in the fog, sailing boats sailing in the wind and big ships sailing through the waves, appearing in the water far away, and southern Shaanxi areas such as Huashan and Tongguan seem to appear in front of us. This is really a miracle of the world.

7. Read Youlong's book, then Youlong's book, Youlong's book (excerpt) Xue Xuan 1. Because the mountain here is high (the mountain is dangerous, the peak crosses the Tianhan), the road is dangerous (the cave is stone, and the floating water is a plank road), and the wind is strong (Lin Siting is windy). These trees are rooted in the earth and stone, flourishing and tall. 4. Combine walking and changing scenery with fixed-point observation. There is no uniform answer in the second half of the question, so it makes sense. Reference answer: it's a bit messy. According to the observation order, it starts from the north, then goes west, and then goes south, but it jumps to the east first; Write what you saw in the south, up and down, a little messy. (Negative opinion: not chaotic. Youlong Gate should focus on the gorge, with the ancient north-south direction detailed and the east-west direction sketched. It is more reasonable to write "West" first, skip "South" and then write "East".

8. The translation of Yu Temple's Heavy Rain is selected from Youlong Atlas, which is Xue Xuan's Youlong Atlas.

Out of Xiguanmen, Hejin County, three miles northwest, to Longmen. Everything is dangerous. It's freezing. The river comes from the northwest gorge, the mountain is cut off from the water, and the two walls stand opposite each other. Shen Yu spared no effort in chiseling, which is really great.

If Lieyukou controls the air, he will stand in the air. After coming back from Shuilou North Road, I left the palace for more than 100 steps and arrived at Yougu. Suddenly I saw it.

9. Xue's collection. Youlong [Yu Temple] The book of Yu, that is, Dayu, can be understood by reading the inscription.

Inscription: Longmen: also known as Yumen. Now, between Hejin County, Shanxi Province and Hancheng County, Shaanxi Province, the situation is dangerous, spanning the banks of the Yellow River, just like a gate. The Yellow River flows through it, hence the name Longmen. According to legend, Dayu led the river here and cut through the river. Cliffs stand on both sides of the strait, facing east and west, and the Yellow River flows in between. The waves are rough and the weather is spectacular.

translate

Go out of the west gate of Hejin County, walk three miles to the northwest, and reach the foot of Longmen Mountain. On the east and west sides are layers of mountains and towering peaks, which go straight into the sky. The Yellow River runs down from the northwest canyon. Here, the mountains are interrupted and the river flows. The steep rocks on both banks stand face to face, and Yu Xia's great contribution to dredging and excavation is the most prominent here.

Starting from the root of the southeast mountain, dig holes in the rock, erect piles, build plank roads in the air above the river, and hover to the foot of the mountain. There is an open flat land by the river, which is two or three acres of Fiona Fang, with more stones and less soil. There is a Wang Yu Temple in the center, named Mingde Palace, which is very grand in scale. When I visited the main hall, I meditated on Yu Xia's great achievements and stood in awe for a long time. There are many pine trees and nameless trees in the yard. The roots are lined with rocks and soil, protruding and connected with each other. Dense branches and dense leaves are connected to block out the sun. The bark and trunk are old and tall, and the image is very firm, as if some warriors are fighting alone and fighting for unyielding.

There is a stone peak in the southwest outside the temple gate, standing alone in the middle of the river. Standing on the stone steps, I reached the top. There is a Lin Siting on the top of the hill. It is impossible to use wood because the mountains are high and the wind is strong. It's all made of bricks. Looking down from the entrance of the pavilion, the Yellow River is rolling and rushing, impacting and oscillating in three directions, which makes people suspect that the stone peak is also shaking. Turning to the north, I saw huge canyons, vermilion rocks, green stone walls, and spit out clouds floating in the smoke. When they dispersed, they became clear, when they closed, they became dark, and soon they became ever-changing. There are mountains connected with mountains in the west, winding past. Looking east at the biggest mountain, it is as dark as the sky. To the south, I saw mighty rivers, rough waves, rocky islands and beaches, high plains and broken embankments, villages and Woods shrouded in smoke, full sails fluttering in the wind, and big ships in the waves, appearing and disappearing vaguely. Huashan, Tongguan and many mountains in Shaanxi and Henan seem to be in sight. What a rare sight in the world!

Follow the mountain road and descend from the east of the mountain peak. In one place, a stone cliff was dug and a water tower was built with crossed wooden frames. There is a hole in the floor in the center of the water tower. A derrick and winch were installed in the hole, and a rope was hung to draw water from the river. Leaning against the railing, the cool wind came, just like the legendary fierce jade mouth standing in mid-air with the wind. From the north side of Shuilou Mountain Road to the back of Wang Yu Temple, I walked more than 100 steps, and reached the right side of the ravine. Looking down, I couldn't see the bottom. The mountains are in the east, and the Yellow River is in the west. The ravine is far from Zhangba from south to north. There is an old stump across it, which is a bridge that can be crossed from head to toe. About 200 steps north of the ravine, there is a small temple with a plaque that says "Houtu Temple". The peaks of Beishan Mountain are steep and difficult to walk, and the roots of the mountain have been connected to the river. This exhausted the mountain road to the east of Houtu Temple. There is a cave, as empty as a hall. The upside-down stalactites are long and short, some are like human figures, some are like bird wings, some are like animal mouths, some are like liver and lungs, some are like tumors, some are like an ancient tripod dragging three feet, some are like a set of bells, some are like jade plates that have not been finished yet, and some are like minerals that have not yet been put into the furnace. Its shape is really impossible to say complete. The high spring water dripped on the stone and drummed. The stones under the cave are scattered, lying, askew and upright; Like a bed, like a coffee table, like a screen, you can sit, help and lean. The climate in the cave is cool and cloudy, and it doesn't feel stuffy even on rainy days. It just makes people feel that their muscles are cold, so they can't be delayed for too long. Then hit the old stump bridge, walk past the left side of Mingde Palace and walk up the stone steps. There is a Taoist temple on the hillside in the southeast, and the terrain is almost the same as that of Lin Siting. From there, you can also enjoy the Yellow River and Longmen Mountain. This is from the stone steps down to the plank road, to the Yellow River to see the ferry, and then walk back along Dongshan.

Taking the rushing Yellow River as the background, this paper describes the steep peaks of Longmen and praises Shen Yu's dredging project. The author uses strange and rough brushstrokes to outline the vastness of the scene, the grandeur of the momentum and the openness of the realm. However, the description of stone shapes such as stone niches is extremely delicate and vivid. This is a travel book with a lot of money in it. What the author pays attention to is not a grass, a tree, a water and a stone, but an overview of the scenery. With bold writing, a few strokes are outlined, not in shape, but in charm and momentum. For example, "Nanwang Flood, Shizhou Shazhu, Plateau Lack of Shore, Smoke Village Mist Trees, Sailing Waves" are all highly generalized descriptions, but they don't give people an abstract feeling at all, and their images are outstanding, the picture is complete and magnificent. Correspondingly, the author's writing style is vigorous, and every word is like a knife. All these bring distinctive features to this paper.
