The Three Gorges in Daoyuan, North Wei Li;

The Three Gorges, 700 Li, is surrounded by mountains on both sides, and there is no gap. Rocks piled up, blocking the sunshine in the sky, and there was no sunrise since midnight.

As for launching Xiangling, it is along the back block. Or the king ordered an emergency notice, sometimes going to Baidicheng and going to Jiangling at dusk. During this period, although he took the wind, he didn't get sick.

In spring and summer, the green pool is surging and the reflection is clear. There are many strange cypresses, hanging springs and waterfalls, flying in the meantime, clear and brilliant, very interesting.

At the beginning of every sunny day, the frost shines and the forest is cold and silent. There are often high apes screaming, leading to sorrow, echoing in the empty valley, and sorrow turning leisurely. So the fisherman sang: "The Wuxia Gorge in the Three Gorges of Badong is long, and the apes cry three times, and tears are spilled on their skirts."

Interpretation of vernacular:

Between 700 miles of the Three Gorges, there are continuous mountains on both sides, without interruption at all; Overlapping cliffs block the sky and the sun.

If it weren't for midnight, even the sun and the moon couldn't be seen. In summer, the water rises, the river overflows the mountains, and the descending or ascending ships are blocked. Sometimes the emperor's orders need urgent communication. At this time, as long as you leave Baidicheng in the morning and arrive in Gangneung at night, there will be a journey of 1200 miles in it. Even if you ride a galloping horse and drive a high wind, you are not as fast as it.

In spring and winter, you can see white rapids and spinning clear waves. The green pool reflects the shadows of all kinds of scenery. There are many strange cypress trees growing on the extremely high peaks, and there are hanging springs and waterfalls between the peaks, dancing and swaying on them. Clear water, brilliant trees, high mountains and lush grass are really interesting.

In autumn, every morning in Chu Qing or first frost, the Woods and mountains are cool and quiet. There are often high apes chirping with long voices, which are continuous and very desolate and strange. There is an echo of the ape singing in the empty valley, which is mournful and tactfully lingering for a long time. Therefore, the Three Gorges fisherman sang: "The Wuxia Gorge in the Three Gorges of Badong is long, the apes crow three times, and tears are spilled on their skirts."

Extended data writing background:

Li Daoyuan was born in an official family. When I was a child, I went to Shandong with my father to seek waterways. Later, he traveled the Qinling Mountains, north of Huaihe River and south of the Great Wall, inspected river valleys, collected relevant customs, historical stories, myths and legends, and created 40 volumes of Notes on Water Mirrors.

Nominally, it is based on the annotation of Shui Jing Zhu, but actually it is a re-creation on the basis of Shui Jing Zhu. This book describes 1252 rivers, and related historical sites, anecdotes, myths and legends. , nearly 1000 more than the original, the text has increased by more than 20 times, and the content is much richer than the original water mirror.

This article is excerpted from Thirty-four Volumes by Zhu and Zhu, and the title of the article is added by later generations. It was written by the author to record the majestic scenery and four seasons of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River.

Appreciation of articles:

This article is a landscape work, and the author describes the natural features of the Three Gorges in less than 200 words. The full text describes the combination of dynamic and static, scene blending, emotion moving with the scene, concise and vivid.

In the first sentence, the author begins with "700 miles from the Three Gorges", which not only explains the object of description, but also introduces its total length. Then, the author writes about mountains, describing the "connection" of mountains with "the mountains on both sides of the strait" and describing the "height" of mountains with "heavy stones hiding the sky".

With the side contrast of "I can't see the rising moon since midnight", people further feel the narrowness of the Three Gorges, and a few strokes vividly outline the overall features of the Three Gorges, which makes readers quickly attracted by the heroic momentum of the Three Gorges.

The author writes winter and spring together, taking into account the characteristics of the two seasons. When there is no water in winter, there will be a "green pool", and when things are fresh in spring, there will be "glory" of vegetation.

What is written in this section is completely different from that described in the previous section. Summer water is fierce, spring water flows; Water in summer is dangerous, and water in spring is interesting. The author thinks that the scenery of the Three Gorges is "very interesting", which is quite different from the feudal literati's thoughts and feelings about the Three Gorges.

The description of apes revolves around the two key points of "mountain" and "mourning", thus showing the characteristics of summer and autumn. "Gao" is used to describe an ape, indicating that it is an ape on a high mountain, and "Chang" is used to describe a long whistle, indicating that it is in a long canyon. "Empty valley echoes", to put it bluntly, in the mountains. "I haven't seen you for a long time" and responded that "the mountains on both sides of the strait are indispensable."

Writing fishing songs is also a word of "gorge length" and a word of sorrow. From the singing of apes, people can further realize that the mountains are high, the mountains are connected, the gorge is narrow and the water is long. At the same time, the ape moaned and played up the bleak atmosphere in autumn. It also makes people realize the hardships of fishermen and the hardships of life from this fishing song.
