1. Reminiscing about the Qiantang River

Song Dynasty: Li Gou

In the past, he returned to the sailboat while drunk, half-capacity in front of the mountain.

Fortunately, the river is full of flowers, and the daffodils are all wearing light red shirts.

Translation: When I was drunk and boarded the sailboat returning home, I saw that the sun had already set halfway in front of the faint green mountains on both sides of the bank.

At this moment, the most charming thing is the reflection into the river. The river is full of red light. The white sails on the river, reflected by the setting sun, are like goddesses in the water wearing light red clothes. .

2. Hengjiang Ci·Part 2

Tang Dynasty: Li Bai

Hai Chao went south to Xunyang, and the origin of Niuzhu was dangerous.

The Hengjiang River is trying to cross the stormy waters, but one stretch of water carries sorrow for thousands of miles.

Translation: The tide moves southward, as far as Xunyang. Niuzhu Mountain has always been more dangerous than Madang Mountain. I want to cross the Hengjiang River, but I feel that the wind is high and the waves are dangerous. I am worried like the water of the Yangtze River, which flows thousands of miles.

3. Hengjiang Ci·Part Three

Tang Dynasty: Li Bai

Hengjiang looks to the west and blocks the Western Qin Dynasty, and the Han River connects to Yangzijin in the east.

The white waves are like mountains that can be crossed, and the strong wind kills people on the steep sails.

Translation: Looking west at Chang'an from the Hengjiang River, the return route is blocked by the river. Looking eastward, the Han River connects to Yangzijin in the east. There is no way to cross the white waves like mountains. The strong wind on the river makes the boatman pale.

4. Hengjiang Ci·Part 4

Tang Dynasty: Li Bai

The sea god came and the evil wind came back, and the waves hit the stone wall of Tianmen and opened it.

Why is August like this in Zhejiang? The waves are like mountains spewing snow!

Translation: As if after the arrival of Poseidon, another bad wind came, and huge waves hit Tianmen Mountain, opening the stone wall of the mountain gate. Can the tide in Zhejiang in August compare with the wind and waves here? The waves come like snow from the continuous mountain peaks.

5. Hengjiang Ci·Part 6

Tang Dynasty: Li Bai

The wind and fog are not clearing in the moonlit sky, and the sea whales are frowning eastward and returning to the hundreds of rivers.

Three mountains were shaken together by the shock wave, and no one wanted to cross the river to return.

Translation: When the moon rises and the starry sky rises, strong winds blow, the river fog does not clear, and the sea tide is like a whale swimming eastward in the sea, forcing the water of hundreds of rivers to flow back. The stormy waves shook the three mountains. Sir, don't cross the river. You'd better go back.
