Seeking the translation of selected passages in classical Chinese of Li Bing

Excerpt from the original text: Ice is a river, crossing the Yongjiang River, stopping the river, leaving tributaries and crossing the county seat.

Double irrigation and irrigation in three counties, open rice fields, so Sichuan is a thousand miles away, so it is named Hailu. Drought will lead to water infiltration, and rain will fill the sluice gate, so we say: floods and droughts come from people, and hunger does not know. When there is no famine, the world is called abundance.

So Li Bing asked people to stop the river and build a dike, and let the diversion dike cross the Yongjiang River, stop the river and divide it into tributaries, forming two streams flowing down from the county.

These two streams were used to irrigate these counties, and many rice fields were opened up, so the fertile fields in Sichuan stretched for thousands of miles, which was called land and sea at that time. In drought, water will be diverted and infiltrated into the fields, and in rain, the sluice will be blocked and the water will be cut off. Therefore, the historical records say: "Whether the weather in Sichuan is precipitation or drought is decided by people. People there don't know what hunger is, and there is no famine year. People all over the world call Sichuan a land of abundance. "
