The Story of Xiaoshitan
Tang Dynasty: Liu Zongyuan
Walk a hundred and twenty steps west from Xiaoqiu, across the bamboos, we heard the news The sound of water is like the sound of a pendant ring, which makes my heart happy. After cutting bamboo, we took the road and saw a small pool at the bottom. The water was particularly clear. The whole stone is used as the bottom, and when it is near the shore, it is rolled up from the bottom to form a dike, an islet, a ridge, and a rock. Green trees and green vines are covered with swaying winds, scattered and scattered. There are hundreds of fish in the pond, and they all seem to be swimming in the sky with no support. The sun is clear, and the shadows are spread on the rocks, but they don't move; they are far away, and they come and go.
It seems to be enjoying itself with tourists. Looking to the southwest of the pool, you can see the twists and turns of snakes, and the light and death can be seen. Its shores are so different from each other that its origin cannot be known. Sitting on the pool, surrounded by bamboo trees, I felt desolate and desolate, feeling desolate and desolate. Because the place was too clear, I couldn't stay there for a long time, so I remembered it and left. Travelers with him: Wu Wuling, Gong Gu, Yu Di Zongxuan. Those who followed were Cui's Erxiaosheng: "Forgive yourself" and "Fengyi".
Translation:
Walk a hundred and twenty steps west from the hill, and across a bamboo grove, you can hear the sound of water, like the sound of jeopards hitting each other. The sound makes (I) feel happy in my heart. Cut down the bamboo and create a path (walk through it). Walking along the path, you will see a small pool with extremely cool water. The small pool has a whole stone as the bottom, close to the shore, and some parts of the stone bottom are rolled over to expose the water.
It has become a variety of different shapes such as highlands, small islands, uneven rocks and rocks in the water. Green trees and green vines cover and wrap around, swaying and drooping, uneven, and fluttering in the wind. There are about a hundred fish in the pond, and they all seem to be swimming in the air, with nothing to rely on. The sun shines directly (to the bottom of the water), and the (fish) shadow is reflected on the stone, motionless (stopping there).
Suddenly (again) he swam far away, coming and going, briskly and swiftly, as if he was having fun with the tourists. Looking to the southwest of Xiaoshitan, I saw that the stream was as winding as the Big Dipper, and the water was meandering like a snake, sometimes visible and sometimes invisible. The terrain on both sides is intertwined like a dog's teeth, making it impossible to know the source of the stream. I sat on ShiTanbank, surrounded by bamboo trees and trees.
It was quiet and deserted. It makes people feel desolate, cold to the bones, quiet and profound, and filled with an atmosphere of sadness. Because the environment here was too desolate to stay for a long time, I wrote down the scene here and left. The people who went to play together were Wu Wuling, Gong Gu, and my brother Zongxuan. Two young men named Cui went with them. One is called Forgiveness, and the other is called Fengyi.
