July

14 evening, sunny. Open the south window to see the mountain stream. There are many fish in the stream. When it breaks, it jumps out of the water and reflects in the setting sun, like a silver knife. People who fish with harness are looking forward to it, so the price is very cheap, which makes them suffer all the time. As the locals say, this stream is rich in water and suitable for fish farming. And if you drink it, the water tastes sweet. Do you believe that fat makes fish more evil? There are several peaks in the southeast of the stream, such as Dai and Qingshan.

August

14 day, dawn, rain. After passing Koishiyama, half of it is straightforward from above, which is absolutely similar to Shushan on the Yuyao River. Throw the river and meet the raft, which is more than ten feet wide and more than fifty feet long. There are thirty or forty families in the world, with wives, chickens and dogs. There are buildings and shrines, which have never been seen before. The boat is full of people, or the small ear. The big one can no longer be caught in the raft as a vegetable garden or restaurant, just a big river. It was the day when the boat was pulled against the wind, and it was only fifteen or sixteen miles from Pindan to Dieu.

Mount Liuguanji, which is adjacent to the border of qi zhou. When the children went ashore, they returned to the cloud: "We got the path, crossed the mountain, and there was a vicious lake with abundant lotus flowers. There are many trees by the lake. In several afterglow, Lu Fan Caotang is full of seclusion, but there is no sound. There are big pears. I can't buy it if I want to. Small boats in the lake should not be called to pick up diamonds. What is even more desperate is that I met a plane on the side of the road. I dare not go because I suspect there are tigers and wolves there. " Legend has it that Liu Guanji, a brilliant man, once entered Wu to taste the boat here. At night, watch the giant salamander float and sink in the water.

(August) 2 1 day. After the double willow clip, I returned to Wangjiang, and the distant mountains repeated the deep show. Since leaving the Yellow River, although it is caught in the middle, it is also far away and the terrain is getting higher and higher. It belongs to buckwheat and a variety of buckwheat. In the evening in Bo Yang, the levee is high with willows and the residents are thick. Fish is as cheap as dirt, and one hundred dollars can fill twenty mouths; They are all giant fish, so it is impossible to find small fish to feed the cat.

September

On the morning of the 9th, I visited Houtu Temple. The houses and thatch on the roadside are more than a foot thick and clean. Hang sail and throw it into the river for thirty miles, Bertaz Loki, Riverside Mountain. Since I left Ezhou, I have always seen mountains. Buy sheep for wine. Nine reasons to build a village, kill a sheep, buy it by boat, and it will be done soon. How many chrysanthemums do you take from "The Family on the River"? They are sweet and lovely, and you are so drunk. It rained at night, it was freezing, and it began to be covered.

October

The 21st. Looking at the stone gate in the boat is only enough for one person to walk, and the world is in danger. In the evening, Bobodong County, with magnificent scenery, won Zigui. However, Jingyi is extremely depressed, with only 100 households in the city. Since then, they have all failed. The whole county belongs to Wei Youdi's morality, and Wei Youdi's morality came first. They are all Shu people. Visit Koulaigongzu Temple, board Qiu Feng Pavilion, facing the mountains and rivers. It's the heavy overcast light snow, the weather and the name of the pavilion, which makes people feel disappointed and has a sigh of wandering around the world.

Then climb Shuangbai Hall and Baiyun Pavilion. The old Laigong mansion planted cypress trees under the hall, and now it is dead. However, Nanshan is repetitive, beautiful and lovely. Baiyun Pavilion is a secluded corner in the world, surrounded by mountains, with ancient trees looming, often two or three hundred years old. The stone stream outside the column flows with double waterfalls, jumping beads and splashing jade, and the cold enters human bones. Below it are Cixi, Liu Ben and Jiang Hui.

I have traveled more than 5,000 miles from Wu to Chu, passed fifteen states, and the pavilions are better than white clouds, but only after hearing about the county. There is nothing in Badong, which makes people sleep in the pavilion and has endless fun. But if no one is willing to make up for it in two or three years, what is it?

On the 23 rd, I passed Wushan to set up a true view and use the shrine of reality. The real person is the so-called witch mountain goddess. The temple faces Wushan Mountain, with peaks towering into the sky and the foot of the mountain plunging into the river. No wonder some commentators call it Taihua, Tianping and Lu. However, the Twelve Peaks are invisible. ? [2]?

Of the eight wonders of Jiu Feng, goddess peak is the most exquisite and peculiar, which should be entrusted by Xian Zhen. Zhu Shiyun: "On August 15th every year, at dawn in jathyapple, there is the sound of bamboo. Apes come to the top of the mountain and sing, until they reach Dan." There is a stone altar halfway up the mountain behind the temple, which is flat and spacious. Yun Chuan said: "Yu Xia saw the goddess and gave the rune here." The twelve peaks on the altar are like a barrier.

It's sunny, and I can't see anything, but there are some white clouds on the goddess peak, like a phoenix, and a crane is dancing, which can last for a long time. There are hundreds of temples in the old place, and ships are used to send guests and welcome them.

The following is a list of translations of Shu Shu Shu:

July

14 evening, sunny. Open the south-facing window in the cabin and see the scenery of rivers and mountains. There are a lot of fish in Gushuxi, which rushes out of the water from time to time. The sunset reflects the stream (fish) like a silver knife. People fishing by hanging rods and pulling nets are full of eyes. Because of this, the price of fish is very low and the servants are full every day.

The local people say that this stream is fat and suitable for the growth of fish. When I drink this stream, I think the water tastes really sweet. Is it really because there are more fish than water? Many peaks in the southeast of the stream are like blue-black pigments. They used to be green hills.

August

14, it rained just before dawn. After a Koishiyama, it is as straight as a knife from the top of the mountain, much like the Shu Mountain on the Yuyao River. While sailing on the river, I met a raft, which was more than ten feet wide and fifty feet long. There are thirty or forty families, wives and children, chickens, dogs and clams.

There are passages and shrines in the middle, which have never been seen before. The boatman said, this is still small. Big ones can be paved with soil to make vegetable fields on bamboo rafts or open hotels, but they are too big to drive into small inlets and can only drive in rivers. Against the wind that day, (the tracker) pulled the boat hard and walked only fifteen or sixteen miles from dawn to sunset.

The ship docked at Liuguanji, the ancient border of qi zhou. My nephew came ashore and said, "I found a way. From the path to the back of the mountain, there is a large lake with many lotus seeds and water chestnuts, and there are many Manglietia plants by the lake. Several families in the sunset, reed fences and huts seem to be an elegant place, without a sound.

There is a big pear. I want to buy it, but I can't. There are canoes in the lake to collect water chestnuts, but no one agrees. I want to take a closer look. I just saw tools for catching wild animals on the roadside, and I suspected that there were tigers and wolves, so I didn't dare to go any further. "Liu Guanji" is said that Liu Bei, Emperor Zhaolie of Shu Han, went to the State of Wu, where he went ashore by boat. At night, I saw chinemys reevesii ups and downs in the water.

On the 21st (August), (the ship set out from Grade VII Port in the upper reaches of Huangzhou) passed Shuangliujia and returned to Wangjiang, where the mountains are deep and the scenery is beautiful. Since leaving Huangzhou, although marching in Shuangliujia, it is endless, and the terrain is getting higher and higher, planting beans, millet, buckwheat and other food crops.

At night, it is parked in Yangluofu, where the river bank is wide, the willows are dense and the residents are dense. Fish is as cheap as dirt, and one hundred copper coins (bought fish) can feed twenty people; They are all big fish. I want to find some small fish to keep cats, but I can't find them.

September

On the morning of the 9th, (the ship sailed for Shishou County, Jingzhou) went to worship the Land Temple. In the houses along the road, the thatch covering the roof is more than a foot thick, so neat that there is no messy grass. Set sail, sail in the river for 30 miles, and anchor at the tower subset, which is a mountain by the river. I didn't see the mountain until I left Ezhou.

Buy sheep to buy wine, stop at the water near the village, because it is the Double Ninth Festival, kill a sheep, buy several boats separately, and eat it soon. I bought some chrysanthemums from people by the river. They were sweet and lovely, so I got drunk. It began to rain at night, and it was very cold, so I began to cover the quilt.

October

2 1 day, watching a man pass through Shimen Pass on the boat is the most dangerous place in the world. At night, the ship docked in Badong County, with magnificent rivers and mountains, far exceeding Zigui. The market is very depressed and deserted. There are only 100 households in the county, and there are thatched huts under the county magistrate's house without a tile. Acting as county commandant, Zigui county commandant You, Di Gong Langwang, and a surname and principal bookkeeper You, Di Gong Langdude came first, both from Sichuan.

Visit Koulaigong Temple and board the Qiu Feng Pavilion near the Yangtze River. It snows cloudy and cold day by day. Looking at the name of the pavilion makes people feel lost, so they feel wandering around the world. So I boarded the Shuangbai Hall and Baiyun Pavilion. There used to be a cypress tree planted by Cory Hall under the hall, but now it's dead. But there are many mountains and peaks in Nanshan, which are beautiful and lovely.

Baiyun Pavilion is the most quiet and wonderful place in the world. Surrounded by mountains, layer upon layer. The ancient trees are dense and lush, often two or three hundred years old. Outside the pavilion, there are two waterfalls that pour down the mountain stream, like pearls jumping, like jade chips splashing, and cold air invading the bones. Here is Cixi, rushing to meet the Yangtze River.

I entered Hubei from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, with a journey of more than 5,000 miles. After the fifteenth state, the most beautiful pavilions did not exceed Baiyun Pavilion, only behind the county magistrate's office. There is nothing wrong with the county magistrate of Badong County. Magistrates can sleep and eat in the pavilion. That kind of fun is endless, but the vacancy of the county magistrate is always two or three years, and no one wants to fill it. Why?

On the 23rd, I passed through Wushan to set up a real view, and went to the ancestral temple where real people were skillfully used. The real person is what everyone calls the Wushan goddess. The ancestral hall faces Wushan, with the peak soaring 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 strange as Wushan.

However, you can't see all the twelve peaks. Of the 89 peaks you can see, only goddess peak is slender, steep and changeable, which is really suitable to be the incarnation of the goddess. The priest in the temple said, "On the night of August 15th every year, when the moon is clear, you can hear beautiful orchestral music, walk back and forth on the top of the mountain, and hear apes singing on the mountain, and then it stops gradually at dawn."

Behind the temple, there is a stone altar halfway up the mountain, which is relatively flat. Legend has it that "when you meet the goddess, the goddess gives the instrument here." Looking at the twelve peaks on the stone altar is like a barrier. On this day, the sky is clear and there are no clouds around, only a few white clouds on the goddess peak, just like the phoenix and the crane dancing and walking there, which is also a very strange phenomenon. In the past, there were hundreds of crows in the ancestral temple to see off guests and welcome ships.
