1. Translation of Ancient Chinese Records of Mountains

"Shui Jing", the translation of Records of Shizhong Mountain, says: "There is Shizhong Mountain at the mouth of Poyang Lake."

Li Daoyuan believes that the following Facing the deep pool, the breeze stirs up the waves, and the water and rocks collide with each other, making a sound like a big bell. This statement is often doubted.

Now put the bell in the water. Even if there are strong winds and waves, it cannot make any sound, let alone a stone! In the Tang Dynasty, Li Bo went to explore its ruins and found two rocks beside a deep pool. He knocked them and listened to their sounds. The sound from the south was thick and fuzzy, while the sound from the north was crisp and loud. The drumsticks stopped beating, but the sound continued to spread, and the lingering sound slowly disappeared.

He himself thought he had found the reason why Shizhongshan was named. But I doubt this statement even more.

Mountain rocks make a clanging sound when they are struck. This happens everywhere, but this mountain is the only one named after a bell. Why? On Dingchou day in the sixth month of the seventh year of Yuanfeng, I took a boat from Qi'an to Linru. My eldest son Su Mai was about to take office as the county captain of Dexing County in Raozhou. I sent him to Hukou so that I could observe this place called The mountain of "Stone Bell". The monk in the temple asked the children to pick up an ax and hit one or two places among the rocks. The sound they made was ridiculous to me and I didn't believe it.

At night, the moonlight was bright, and Su Mai and I took a boat to the bottom of the cliff alone. Huge rocks stood next to it, thousands of feet high, like ferocious beasts and strange ghosts, threatening to pounce on people. When the eagles nesting on the mountain heard the sound of people, they were frightened and flew up, chattering in the sky. The ground chirped; and there was a sound like an old man coughing and laughing in the valley. Some people said it was a stork.

I was frightened and wanted to go back, when suddenly a huge sound came from the water, and it sounded like bells and drums continuously. The boatman was very frightened.

I slowly observed and found that at the foot of the mountain there were stone caves and cracks. I didn’t know their depth. Slight water waves poured into the caves and cracks, and the agitation and impact produced such a sound. The boat went around between two mountains and was about to enter the port. There was a big stone blocking the middle of the water flow. It could seat more than a hundred people on it. The middle was empty and there were many holes, which swallowed up the wind and waves and spit them out, creating a hollow. The sound of boring echoes the previous sound, like music playing.

I then smiled and said to Su Mai: "Did you know? The clanking sound is the sound of King Zhou Jing's Wushe bell; the sound of the boring and boring is the sound of Wei Zhuangzi's singing bell. People in ancient times did not deceive me!" Is it okay to infer the existence of everything based on subjective imagination without seeing it with your own eyes and hearing it with your own ears? What Li Daoyuan saw and heard was probably the same as mine, but he didn't explain it in detail; after all, the scholar-bureaucrats didn't want to take a boat to dock under the cliff at night, so they couldn't know the truth; while the fishermen and boatmen knew it but couldn't use it. Written expression.

This is the reason why the name of Shizhong Mountain has not been passed down in the world. But simple people actually use axes to hit rocks to find the reason why Shizhong Mountain got its name, thinking that they have got the truth about it.

Therefore, I wrote down this incident, lamenting the simplicity of Li Daoyuan's narrative and ridiculing Li Bo's shallowness. ================================ Translation of "A Journey to Baochan Mountain" Baochan Mountain is also called Huashan.

Monk Huibao in the Tang Dynasty began to build houses and settle at the foot of the mountain, and was buried here after his death; for this reason, people called the mountain "Baochan" from then on. What people call Huikong Temple now is the house built by Hui Bao's disciples next to Hui Bao's tomb.

Five miles east of the Zen Temple is what people call Huashan Cave. It is called this because it is to the south of Huashan. More than a hundred steps away from the cave, a stone tablet fell by the roadside. The inscription on it has been blurred. Only the remaining characters can still make out the name "Huashan".

Nowadays, "hua" is pronounced as "hua" in "huashi". It turns out that the pronunciation is wrong. The bottom of Huashan Cave is flat and empty, with springs gushing out from the side. Many people have written inscriptions to record their travels. This is what people call the "front cave".

Walking five or six miles up the mountain, there is a cave that is dark and far-reaching. It is very cold when you walk into the cave. Asking about its depth, even those who like to visit cannot go to the end. People call it "the back cave". Hole". The four people who were traveling with me and I walked in with torches. The deeper we went into the cave, the more difficult it was to move forward, but the more strange the sights we saw became.

A friend who was tired and wanted to quit said: "If you don't get out, the torch will burn out." So he exited the cave with them.

About where I went, it was less than one-tenth of the number of people who like to visit. However, looking at the cave walls on the left and right, there were already fewer people who came here to inscribe their travels. . Presumably the deeper the hole, the fewer people would get there.

Just when I decided to exit the cave, I still had enough strength to continue moving forward, and the torch was still enough to continue lighting. We had already exited the cave, and some people blamed those who asked to exit. I also regretted that I followed them and could not enjoy the fun of the tour.

I feel sad about this situation. When the ancients observed the heaven and earth, mountains and rivers, vegetation, insects, fish, birds and beasts, they often had insights, because they explored and thought very deeply and they were everywhere.

If the place is flat and the distance is short, more people will arrive; if the terrain is steep and the distance is long, fewer people will arrive. But the wonderful, majestic, precious, strange, and unusual sights in the world are often in dangerous and remote places, so people rarely get there. Therefore, people who are not ambitious cannot reach them.

If you have ambition, you will not stop following others. However, if you lack the strength, you will not be able to reach it. Having ambition and strength, and not slacking off by following others, when he reaches that deep, dark and confusing place, he has no external force to assist him and cannot reach it.

But if you have enough strength to get there, but fail to get there, you can laugh at it in the eyes of others, and feel regret in your own eyes; those who try their best but cannot get there, can Without regret, who would still laugh at him? This is my experience of this trip to the mountains. Regarding the stone tablet that fell on the ground, I lamented the loss of the ancient book. Later generations have misunderstood the words it circulated, and no one can explain things clearly. How can I finish it! This is why scholars today must think deeply and choose carefully.

The four people traveling with me: Xiao Jungui from Luling, also known as Junyu, Wang Hui from Changle, known as Shenfu, my younger brother Anguo, named Pingfu, Anshang, known as Chunfu. On a certain day in July of the first year of Zhihe, Wang Mou from Linchuan recorded. 2. There is an ancient article about mountaineering, saying that the author climbed a steep mountain. Which ancient article is this?

It should be "Ode to Mount Taishan"

Sun Shukao

I once climbed Mount Tai with my wife, and Feiyun Pavilion was connected to the courtyard. To the west is Hongmen Palace and to the east is Maitreya Courtyard. Doumu was built near the river and was called Longquan Temple in ancient times. When people look at the Tianmen in Doumu, it is far away and cannot be reached by the heavenly building. Looking south, the road we came from was filled with low mountains. Zhongtianmen, half of Mount Tai. When the sky is about to fall, you start to climb up, and there are eighteen plates under your feet. One thousand eight hundred levels, climbing this mountain is the most dangerous. The cliffs between the two mountains are as sharp as a cliff, just like a ladder climbing to the clouds. How majestic Mount Tai is, it’s all in the eighteen plates. There are inscriptions everywhere, who dares to look carefully. The higher the mountain steps, the more dangerous it becomes, with clouds and smoke rising at your feet. Looking up at the sky, the sky becomes smaller and smaller. At this time, the lonely cloud is hanging high. The step is tight and the heart is tight, and it is difficult to advance or retreat. Looking back at the towering clouds, looking back again makes me feel cold. You can't retreat, you can only move forward. The bottom of my feet always felt like my life was hanging by a thread. Raise your head and look at Tianmen, sandwiched between the two peaks. Xiangfengling on one side and Feilongyan on the other. It seems that the Gate of Heaven opens here. It is said that this gate was built in the Yuan Dynasty. Yellow glazed tiles and red walls are so conspicuous. How majestic it is, there are couplets on the side of the door. The door is open to the sky, and you can walk up to the three-day wonders. The steps are thousands of levels, and you can overlook the wonders of thousands of mountains. Climb to the Jade Emperor Peak and reach the Jade Emperor Palace. The Jade Emperor rises from the ground and can be called the top of Mount Tai. In ancient times, emperors burned firewood and worshiped the gods in the mountains and rivers. In the past, there was Qin Shihuang, and Mount Tai was enshrined in Zen. Come and see the majesty of Mount Tai today, the majestic and majestic scenery. Confucius climbed Mount Tai, and the small world lived up to his words. Today I write Taishan Fu with these words in my heart. 3. The translation of the classical Chinese text "The Iron Pestle Turns into a Needle"

The classical Chinese translation of "The Iron Pestle Turns into a Needle" is as follows: Mozhen Creek is at the foot of Elephant's Er Mountain.

It is said from generation to generation that when Li Bai was studying in the mountains, he gave up and left without completing his studies. He passed by a stream and met an old woman grinding an iron rod, so he asked her what she was doing. The old woman said, "I want to grind it into a needle." Li Bai was moved by her spirit and went back to complete his studies. The old woman called herself Wu. Now there is a Wushi Rock beside the stream.

Original text: Mozhen Creek, at the foot of Elephant Er Mountain in Meizhou. Legend has it that Li Taibai was studying in the mountains, but he abandoned it before completing it. After crossing a stream, I met an old woman grinding an iron pestle and asked her, "I want to make a needle." Taibai understood what he meant and returned to work. I said my surname was Wu. There is Wushi Rock at the source of Jinxi River.

This classical Chinese text gives us inspiration:

1. As long as you persevere, even an iron pestle can be ground into a needle.

2. No matter what the result is, a person can achieve great results as long as he perseveres.

3. If we have a single-minded goal without being half-hearted, and if we persevere without giving up halfway, we will surely be able to realize our beautiful ideals.

4. If we have a goal and cannot stop, and persevere without giving up halfway, we will surely be able to realize our beautiful ideals.

5. Grinding an iron pestle into a fine needle requires a spirit of perseverance and perseverance. As long as we have such a spirit, what else can't be accomplished?

6. No matter what you do, as long as you have perseverance, you will definitely succeed, because hard work pays off. Pay attention to the details of life, which will affect your life. Please remember: there is nothing you can't do in the world, the key lies in your mentality. 4. Request ~ translation of classical Chinese

The two mountains, Taihang and Wangwu, cover an area of ??about 700 miles and are as high as 7000 feet or 8000 feet. They were originally located in the south of Jizhou and north of the north bank of the Yellow River.

At the foot of Beishan there is a man named Yu Gong, who is nearly ninety years old and lives facing the mountain. Foolish Old Man suffered from the blockage of the road on the north side of the mountain, which led to many twists and turns in and out of the mountain. So Yu Gong called the whole family to discuss and said: "You and I will try our best to level the steep mountain and make it pass all the way to the south of Yuzhou and the south bank of Han River, okay?" Everyone agreed with him.

Yu Gong's wife asked: "With your strength, you can't even cut down the hill of Kuifu. What can you do with the two mountains of Taihang and Wangwu? Besides, where are you going to put the earth and rocks?" Everyone They all said: "Throw the earth and rocks to the edge of the Bohai Sea, to the north of the hidden earth." Yu Gong then led three descendants who could carry the burden, chisel stones, dig soil, and use earth baskets to transport them to the edge of the Bohai Sea. The neighbor's widow named Jingcheng had an orphan who had just turned seven or eight years old. She jumped to help Yu Gong. When winter and summer change seasons, we only go back and forth once.

There was an old man named Zhisou in Hequ who smiled and stopped Yu Gong and said, "You are so unintelligent. With your age and remaining strength, you can't even pull out a blade of grass on the mountain." How about removing dirt and stones?" Beishan Yugong sighed and said, "You are so stubborn that you can't change. You are not as good as the widow and the child. Even if I die, I will still have my son. Sons beget grandchildren, and grandsons beget sons; sons have sons, and sons have grandsons; there are endless descendants, but the mountain will not grow taller or bigger, so why worry about digging to level it? "Zhi Sou of Hequ had nothing to say. answer.

The mountain god heard about this and was afraid that he would keep digging, so he reported the matter to the Emperor of Heaven. The Emperor of Heaven was moved by his sincerity and ordered the two sons of the powerful God to carry two mountains on their backs. One is placed in the east of Shuofang, and the other is placed in the south of Yongzhou. From then on, there were no mountains and highlands blocking the south of Jizhou and the south of the Han River.

Translation: Two miles to the south, after passing the second canyon to the south, there is a village facing the right side of the road, named It’s called Boluo Village. I’ve heard about the strange butterfly spring at the foot of the west mountain for a long time. Today, local people pointed out that it’s in the west, so I asked my servant to carry my luggage and go to the Three Pagoda Temple and the resting monk’s house in Hechao’a. , and I ran from the south of the village to the foot of the mountain. (At the foot of Shenmo Mountain in Cangshan Mountain, Yunnan) there is a vigorous ancient Albizia Julibrissin tree, which stands high against the cliff. Under the tree, there is a spring water flowing eastward from the roots of the tree, as if it is washing the roots of the tree. The spring water is as clear as This big tree on Jing. Spring blooms in early April of the lunar calendar every year. The flowers are shaped like butterflies, and their tentacles and wings are lifelike. They are no different from real butterflies. Thousands of real butterflies, with their whiskers and tails connected, bloom from the top of the tree. Hanging down, straight to the water, it is colorful. From then on, tourists came in groups to watch it, and they did not stop until the fifth month of the lunar calendar. I was in Sanli City in western Guangdong, and Lu Canrong told me about this strange thing. It was still early here, so the flowers had not yet bloomed. When I asked the locals, some people said that butterflies came from the transformation of flowers, while others said that flowers and butterflies are similar to each other and attract butterflies. I don’t know who is right.
