Xu Xiake's Travel Notes and Chu You Diary

On the 27th, it was calm and the ship was heading north. Twenty miles, arrived in Qiyang, the eastern city, and the people on board berthed at Chengmi again, and set off after noon. In less than half a mile, the river rose and the ships stopped, so they moored at Yangjiaba, and Dongshi and Nanshi were everywhere. In the afternoon, the boat was moored, and Yu Nai followed Wen Jing across Yangjiaqiao and entered the west gate of Qiyang for a mile. There are four archways in the north, just outside the east gate in the east and one mile in the northeast, which is Ganquan Temple. By the spring, when the slope in front of the temple is below, there are more than one abbot in the pool, and the water overflows, only one foot deep, and the taste is extremely weak, which is very similar to the spring water. The mountains in the east of the city are dazzling. From north to south, two floors form a canyon, from which springs gush. Temple east, leaning against the first hill outside the city. In front of the temple, Zou Zhonggong, a famous Song Taigong in our county, was demoted to travel with Jiang Kun. "Ganquan Ming Bei", named after Zhang Nanxuan. Jiang got this from the county, with a postscript and an inscription. Uncle Zou, while Miss Zhang, with vigorous brushwork, is the second best. On the second floor of Qianshan, it is a nest, and then Jiulian Temple is also there. It used to be Duobao Temple, which was rebuilt by Chen Shangshu, a citizen of this city. Among them are Fayutang, Sutra Pavilion and three churches. But in the sutra depository, there are statues of Emperor Gao, scarves of the Tang Dynasty and Dan's narrow clothes. Eyebrows and eyes are like lying silkworms, constantly in the middle. This is the Forbidden City, and Chen's internal government provided this. Today's ministers are old, but their descendants still don't honor them, which is a family heirloom. The left ring in front of the temple was blocked and dilapidated, but above the closed door, there was a brick engraved with the words "Yanling Yi Dao". Is it also a relic of Zou Zhonggong? But the natives don't know, so the length of this word is sugar sheep. Jiu Lian 'an Mountain in the south is Gong Xue. Learn to lean on the mountain outside the city, and lean on the mountain as the south end. There is a big pool and a big spring in front, which goes south and east, but notes Hunan. Its entrance to Hunan is Xiaoxiang Bridge. To the north of the bridge, there is a strange stone with a protruding peak, which is a two-story mountain outside the city. One dish is nine lotus flowers, and then Gong Xue, which is the sand from Gong Xue Qinglong in the east of Gong Xue. Its former Xiangjiang River goes from south to here and turns east. Qijiang flows north from here and south into Hunan; The fresh water in Ganquan bypasses the pre-school, exposing the south and entering Hunan eastward. It was in the middle of the third meeting, so the bridge was called Xiaoxiang Bridge, and the pavilion was called Xiaoxiang Pavilion. Now Xuanhua Pavilion is rebuilt, and the temple is called Xiaoxiang Temple and Xiaoxiang River. [The calyx behind the house is divided into petals, and the stone state is strange. The temple is dedicated to the statue of Dashun, which means patrolling, but it is not called a humble place. In the northeast of the peak, there are five arches of Liang Shi across Qihe River, which are called new bridges, facing Baishui Road in the east, while Hengzhou Road returns to Qihe River from the bridge to the north. In my spare time, I wanted to find a job to expand the "Ode to Zhongxing Cliff" in Wuxi. Before sunset, I went to visit the temple. Generally speaking, Ganquan is simple, and Jiulianhua is brand-new. One is to preserve the old, and the other is to levy the present. At dusk, from Jiangshi to the south, I passed through Sanwuyi, namely Ershan, Woshui, Woshan and Woting. We walked towards "mountain" and "water" and took "me" alone. From Xinqiao Lisan to Yangjiaqiao in the south, it was already dark when getting off the boat. For a two-day 50-mile trip, first block the rain and then block the water. It's the sound of running water at night, and the more urgent it is, the louder it gets.

On the 28th, a rising tide lifts all boats, but it failed to survive. I long for xiāo, that is, an empty stomach tends to be sweet, and people who seek to expand the monument have come out. From the main street to the east gate, from Zhuziya gate to find Fan's surname, and from Bajiaofang to find Chen's surname, it is said that the water is difficult to cross, so it is also necessary to Fuxi Yangjiang. It is impossible to find rubbings more than once. After returning to Ganquan, Wang Xing's extension work has been returned, demanding a heavy price, but he finally dared not do it, so he stopped in Ganquan to copy the inscription. I'll go back to the boat first and wait for news.

The street outside the east gate of Qiyang is connected with the city by the river, and the market is crowded, which can be compared with Hengjun. The first city is lonely. If it is just like the East Side, it can be called a rock town.

Release the boat on the 29th. The morning is steaming, the haze is in full bloom, and then the steam wheel surges up, and the flame flies from the stern to the pillow gap. Too much sunshine does not mean lying and swimming. Five miles across the stream, the cliff is in the west. The east flows back from the west, and then walks 20 miles, across the daughter-in-law pond, with a graceful demeanour near the north, and comes from the south along the vortex, all from the other side of the river. The so-called "daughter-in-law stone" is a cliff by the river, which is cut from the middle of the mountain and inserted into the bottom of the river. Its last stone stands out from the crowd and looks to the west. Is her lover, that is, her husband, really still in Yumen? Twenty miles, twenty-four rocky places, rocky places counted several times. I walked another five miles in the boxwood shop.

Huangyangpu already belongs to Lingling. Its east is Qiyang boundary and west is Yuanwang Mountain, which is called Sima Mountain. This mountain belongs to Dongan, so it goes about 30 miles west to Dongan boundary. There is a road to Wugang House in the northwest, * * * 240 miles. There is a small water in the west of boxwood, across which Liang Shi straddles. This is a famous bridge. The ship is under the bridge and only stops for three or five miles. You can't go to school.

On the first day of leap April, I set sail from boxwood and then began to turn south. It first set out from Qiyang and headed west. Wuli Beach is surrounded by a whirlpool, and all streams rush into the whirlpool. Its sound is like thunder, and the funnel is also covered. This is also a Little Beach. Another 15 mile is Koryo. It's easy. After another 20 miles, Qinglong Rock and Rock passed. To bite horizontally is to "bite" the river. Shili Road, arrive at Lengshuiwan after dark. In the afternoon, I felt sick to the stomach of fish, in order to reduce dinner. Under the cliff on the west bank, the water rises and the stone disappears, but looking forward, it is magnificent.

On the second day of the lunar new year, the boat people went to Yacheng to pay for their meals, but they did it at breakfast. There was a thunderstorm, but it was sunny at noon. * * * Four Li, moored at Hukouguan, and Shang Gao, also. Since Lengshuiwan, Shan Ye has opened its eyes wide. On both sides of the river, the water stones are complete, but they are all pleasing to the eye. Covered in Qiyang boundary, the stone is strange and moist; After Qiyang, the trend of sudden progress gradually appeared, pouring out everywhere; When you enter an alley, the sudden outburst will become steep and vertical. 〕

On the third day of the third year, I put the boat into Xiangkou, so I went to Xiao and transferred to Xiangyi. Xiao is the road to eternity before I leave, and I will meet Hunan here. Two waters and one southeast, Xiao. Southwest Hunan. Going north together is the master of the Dongting crowd, and the boundary is the vein of Shan Zhi, which goes straight to the north. As far as two streams are concerned, if the tip of the dragon's tail hangs down, because there are no stones in its spine, the two streams will also be sharp, and then. On the east bank of Xiao is the Xiangkouyi. There is an ancient Xiaoxiang Pavilion dedicated to Shun Di's second concubine. From the front of the temple to the west, Panlongwei entered Hunan. At the corner of the lane, there are sand moraines hanging in the middle and trees are like mountains. Xiang Liu is divided into two factions. If the dragon mouth contains pearls, the ship will go up and down from the west. When the current rises, it enters from the east port of the Pearl River along the dragon tail. Walked a mile, bypassing Pearl, that is, at the mouth of the river. So the northwest goes back to Hunan, and if it enters the throat, a small stream of water from the south enters Hunan in the north, which is the water at the foot of Shan Zhi Mountain, and people who are looking forward to climbing the mountain are also there. At that time, Xiao Shui was clear, while Xiang Shui was turbid. When entering the lane, a boat was moored to be attached, and there were five people, who robbed the carp pond the day before yesterday. From the alley mouth to the catchy mouth, there are many songs in the northwest. The louder the beach, the weirder the cliff. Twenty miles, there is an oblique protrusion on the right side, the upper layer is steep and the lower layer is embedded. In another 20 miles, there are people on the left who are cut flat, white and slippery, alternating with each other; There are people standing on the right, facing the flat cliffs and Jiajiang River on the left side of the river. [If five old people are equal, it will be even more strange. Turn five miles west and cross the military port. Further south, another mountain is flattened and inserted into the right side of the river, [under which the cloud roots are immersed in heavy waves. I don't know its name. The setting sun is outside the mountain, and the boat crosses Jiangdong, and suddenly it is clear between the peaks. If the moon and the sun hang side by side, they will be hidden at once. Turn east from the mountain, stop between the military port and the Taiwan Province plate, and then walk five miles to the military port.

On the fourth day of the fourth lunar month, I sailed eastward and crossed the cliff. The cliff cuts the left side of the river to the surface and embeds it in a pool. If the stone above grinds over the cliff, the color is yellow and white. "Far more than Linwu," the foreign side is integrated, and the middle boundary is divided into three points. As seen before, the left side of the river has become a traveler, which is unparalleled. From hanging the bill to disembarking, turn south, travel 20 miles, and go west to Liutan. Ten miles away, Xishi Post is already in Dong 'an. The post is in Jiang Nanan, and it has changed now. Dongjiang River flows from south to north and flows into Hunan. This city is sandwiched between the banks of Dongjiang River, and there is a big Liang Shi across its mouth, which is called Fucheng Bridge. Its water originates from the southern boundary of Lingling, enters from the south under the bridge, and the fifteen miles are Lingling boundary. Twenty-five miles away is the Dongjiang Bridge. There are three small rivers on the bridge, just rafts. [According to records: "Yongshui leaves Yongshan, 90 miles southwest of Yongzhou, and enters Hunan in the north." That is, this water is undoubtedly also. Xishi Post is the dividing line between Lingling and Dongan. Xi Shi, according to the local inscriptions, is called the Stone Age, Dongjiang, and the locals also call it Hongjiang, all of which are confused with each other. There is a sudden mountain on the left side of the stone period, and the cliff is inserted into the river, with a gap [north,] such as a heavy door hanging gorge. The top of the mountain is a lion cave, and the entrance is not very high. Go through the grottoes, and then go down a mile, you can see Linjiangmen Gorge, which overflows when you see it rarely. Its riverside place is not soaked, but the cave will burn. First of all, I moored my boat in the rice market, climbed up the mountain and wandered around the door of the cave, fearing that the boat people would not stay, and couldn't wait for the torch to enter the hole, so I quickly returned to the boat. Take care of the servants and fish and ducks on the boat, so bring rain. Another five miles, moored in Baishazhou. There are cliffs near the river, and the walls are yellow and white. There is also a cliff at the top of the cliff, with a buddhist nun in the northwest. It is facing Yu Bozhou, looking at it in the rain, wishing it could not cross the river. The journey is forty miles, and the rain beach is high, so it is difficult to stop.

The fifth day, it rained all night, and the breakfast was ok. Shili, Jiang Nanan flying cliff, water from the north shore to the north, known as the right estuary. Or a young river. After another five miles, at Mopanshan and Baitan Port, the mountains on both sides began to cut steeply. The steep cliff protrudes to the right, with a waterfall hanging between its axils. Although it rained heavily, it kept raining. After five miles, the cliff protrudes to the left, which is the art of war canyon. The cliff split into a big stone with stones embedded at the end, which was square and yellow and white, hence the name Three Gorges. There is also a waterfall in the west depression, and there is a pebble on the other side of the river, which is a fruit box pond. Fruit box, art book, one circle on each side, one up and one down, all right, drawn. It is also five miles to the west, which is the agarwood cliff. [The cliff is obliquely stacked into a pattern,] The high-end overlapping pattern of the cliff suddenly cracked, and two branches were spit in the middle, and the song dynasty was exhausted. It looks like a dark wood, called agarwood, and I don't know if it is wood or stone. There is a big tree on it, just at the top of the cliff. There is also a heavy cliff with a temple embedded in it. The hope is blue-green, which is really different from the river. The natives said, "The county magistrate wanted agarwood, so he hung a tree at the end of a huge rope cliff to get it. Suddenly, there was a thunderstorm and the fan was out of sight. Let the fear stop. " Also sloppy. After crossing the cliff, the boat turned south and anchored at the east bank of Luobotou. Twenty-five miles a day, the beach is rising and getting wet. Luobotou is on the bank of Jiangxi, facing the mountains and water, with a prosperous settlement, and Dongan Avenue is taken in the northwest.

Although the rain stopped on the sixth night, the river still rose and could not stop. Looking west at Lop Nur, it is difficult to cross the boat. On the ship, the salary is exhausted, and there is no market on the east coast. The servants pick up branches for the morning and evening. In the afternoon, the current is smooth, but it is sailing to the southeast. Wuli, Shi Chong Bay East Berth. It is night, the moon, the mountains, the smoke waves, and the West Lake's yearning for Nanpu. The river rose six or seven feet the night before; If you stop for a day, the mark is still the same.

On the seventh day, I went to the factory and turned four miles west. Further west, a branch of the Jiangnan Mountains runs from south to north. A mile to the west, a branch of Jiangbei Mountain runs from north to south, and the two mountains meet the river and stand at the door, thus dividing the border between Chu and Guangdong. East of the two mountains belongs to Dong 'an County, Yongzhou Prefecture, Huguang; West of the two mountains, it belongs to Quanzhou, Guilin, Guangxi. Quanzhou originally belonged to Yong, and Hongwu was transferred to Guangxi in 28 years. Its boundary starts from the mountain, not from the water. It's five miles to the factory. So he turned to the south, * * * fifteen miles, and he wandered to the west. This is the Liu Pu Post. Ten miles south, Jinhua Beach. There is a cliff on the left side of the beach, which is rushing to the wall. This is a close victory for the time being. Turn to Xibali, that is, to the different estuary, and the water enters Hunan from the north bank. Boat people in twenty miles, for the sake of Yi Xiang, settled down. Two miles west, parked in front of the temple.

Starting at dawn on the 27th, most ships are heading north? Twenty miles later, in the town east of Qiyang County, the boatman stopped to buy rice. He didn't sail until noon. Within half a mile, the river rose and the water flowed freely. The ship stopped sailing forward and anchored at Yangjiaba at the southern end of Chengdong Town. In the afternoon, since the ship has been moored; I went ashore, crossed Yangjiaqiao, walked a mile and entered the west gate of Qiyang County. Go north through the four archways, go east from the east gate, and walk one mile northeast, which is Ganquan Temple. Spring has come. On the hillside in front of the temple, his son Fiona Fang stood up. The spring water filled the pool, only about a foot deep. The water was light and cold, much like the water in Hui Quan. Surrounded by mountains in the east of the city, from north to south, a canyon is formed between the two floors, and spring water spews out of the canyon. To the east of the temple, it is backed by the first hill outside the city. In front of the temple is Zou Zhonggong, a native of Changzhou, my hometown, in the middle of the Song Dynasty. After being demoted here, he traveled with Jiang Wei. ] Write the inscription "Ganquan Inscription". Zhang Nanxuan [Zhang Shi]. I got this inscription from the family of Shen and Jiang in our yamen, and wrote a postscript for it, which was engraved here. Zou Hao writes big characters, while Zhang Nanxuan writes small characters, and his brushwork is vigorous, which can be called two unique skills. On the second mountain in front of the temple, a mountain nest is formed; There is the location of Jiulian Temple, which used to be Duobao Temple. County magistrate Chen Shangshu rebuilt and restored the old scale, including Fayutang, Sutra Pavilion and three churches. In the sutra depository, there is a portrait of the high emperor of the present dynasty, wrapped in a scarf of the Tang Dynasty, with a narrow scarlet dress, eyebrows like lying silkworms, and sparse beards scattered without modification. This was obtained by a man named Chen from the palace and used in this warehouse. Although Shangshu is no longer alive, his descendants still often repair temples and regard them as their own incense. The fence in front of the temple is surrounded by weeds to the left. On the closed wall door, there is a brick engraved with the words "Yanling Yi Dao". Is this also the remains of Zou Zhonggong? But no one in the local people knows. Indeed, how can these words be circulated as stories for a long time? Shannan, where Jiulian Temple is located, is Litang, the county seat. The school is outside the city, facing the mountain, at the southern end of the mountain, facing the mountain. There is a big pool in front. Fresh water from Ganquan flows down to the south, bypasses the east of the school and flows into Xiangjiang River. It flows into Xiangjiang River as Xiaoxiang Bridge. On the north side of the bridge, strange stones change and a mountain peak protrudes, which is the second floor outside the city. At first, the mountain spiraled up and became the seat of Jiulian Temple. Once again, it rises to form the mountain that the school backs. Then the mountain came from the east of the school and stood in the north of Xiaoxiang Bridge, becoming the school's Qinglongsha. Xiangjiang River in front of the mountain flows from south to here and turns east. Qijiang flows here from the north and flows into Xiangjiang River from the south. Ganquan often flows, bypassing the school, passing through Shannan and pouring eastward into Xiangjiang River. It is the middle section where three streams meet, so the bridge is called Xiaoxiang Bridge and the pavilion is called Xiaoxiang Pavilion. Now the pavilion is converted into Xuanhua Pavilion, and the temple is called Xiaoxiang Temple, but from the appellation, it seems to be the confluence of Xiao and Xiang. The stones behind Xiaoxiang Temple, such as separated flower potatoes and tightly clustered petals, have different shapes. A statue of Dashun is enshrined in the temple. According to legend, Dashun passed here when he was patrolling Zheng. However, the temple is narrow and crude, which is out of proportion to Dashun's pride. On the northeast side of the peak, there is a five-hole stone bridge across Qishui, named Xinqiao, which is the road to Baishui in the east, while the road to Hengzhou House is not a bridge, but a road to track the river state of the Qijiang River in the north. Generally speaking, Ziquan Temple is simple; Nine lotus temples have been newly built, one for preserving old relics and the other for consulting today. At sunset, I walked south from Jiangshi, passing Yuanshi Mountain, Wushui Mountain and Sanwu where Wu Ting was located. Now remove the word "mountain" and "water" from the original words, and I will only write "I", which is very correct. Walk three miles from Xinqiao and reach the south of Yangjiaqiao. The ship is already dark. I walked fifty miles in these two days, because I was blocked by the rain first and then by the river. That night, the sound of water in the river was fierce and the current was more urgent.

On the 28th, the river rose, and the ship docked, but could not leave. I rushed to Ganquan Temple hungry, looking for someone to expand the monument, but that person had gone out. I ran from the street to the east gate, found Fan from Zhu Ziya outside the east gate, and found a mounted policeman named Chen from the octagonal room. They all said that the water was too big to cross. I looked for rubbings everywhere for me, but I couldn't find them, and then I ran back to Ganquan Temple. Then the rubbings named Wang came again: although he charged me a lot of money, he dared not go to rubbings after all, and only copied two pages of inscriptions of Ganquan Temple. After that, I went back to the boat first, leaving a quiet smell, waiting to rub.

The street outside the east gate of Qiyang City is connected with the market in Linjiang, and the streets are connected vertically and horizontally. Shops and houses are everywhere, and many halls are big, which can be compared with the prosperity of Hengzhou government. It's just that the city is cold and cold. If we only look at the appearance of Dongcheng, we can call it Wei Cheng.

Set sail at dawn on the 29th. In the morning light, the morning glow rises into the sky, and the fog in the mountains changes into many colors. Then the sun surged into my pillow from the gap at the stern like a steam wheel. The sunrise on Mount Tai can't compare with what I saw in my lying tour. Walk five miles, cross Fuxi, and the cliff engraved with the article is on the west side of the river. From east to west, walk 20 miles, pass the daughter-in-law pond, and the daughter-in-law stone wedding pavilion is next to Jiangbei. People pass by it in Jiangnan, whether downstream or countercurrent, full of expectations for it. The so-called "daughter-in-law stone" is a cliff by the river, which protrudes from the middle of the mountain like a knife and goes down to the bottom of the river. There is a stone rising independently on the cliff, looking up at the west. Hasn't her husband come home from the distant Yumen Pass? Twenty miles further on, after twenty-four rocky places, these rocky places are arranged one after another on the river bank. Go five miles and stop at the boxwood shop.

Huangyangpu already belongs to Lingling County. To its east is the boundary of Qiyang County. The mountain that can be seen in the distance to the west is called Taming Horse Mountain, which already belongs to Dongan County, and Puxi is about 30 miles away from Dongan County. On the northwest side, there is a road leading to Wugang Prefecture, which is 240 miles away. There is a small water flowing in the west of boxwood, and a stone bridge across the water is called a bridge. Ships passing under the bridge are only three or five miles upstream, so it is impossible to sail up again.

On the first day of April, at dawn, we set sail from boxwood, arrived at Jane's residence, and then turned south. This used to belong to Qiyang County, mostly to the west. After 15 miles to Dabatan, there was a place where the current formed a whirlpool, and all the streams rushed into the whirlpool, which sounded like thunder and was roughly like a vessel that had leaked wine. There is a Little Beach on it. Fifteen miles away is Koryo City, which is Fangji. Go another 20 miles and cross Qinglong Mountain, where the rocks are high and steep and cross the river. After walking for more than ten miles, I arrived at Lengshuiwan after dark. In the afternoon, when I feel unwell and my stomach swells, I reduce the amount of dinner. The ship was moored at the edge of the stone cliff along the coast of Jiangxi, and the stones on the river rose and were submerged, so the stones on the river bank were not as magnificent as we saw last time.

The next day, the boatman boarded the market by the river to buy firewood and vegetables, then had breakfast and set off. Amid the rumble of thunder, it rained heavily and didn't clear up until noon. * * * traveled forty miles and moored at Hukouguan, when the sun was still high in the sky. Coming from Lengshuiwan, Shan Ye is open and its vision is greatly broadened. On both sides of the river, stones swallowing water come and go from time to time. As long as they meet, they are pleasing to the eye. Generally entering the boundary of Qiyang county, the texture of the stone becomes strange and the color becomes moist; After passing through Qiyang County, huge stones gradually appeared, and they came up everywhere. However, at the entrance of the alley, the towering and tortuous stone cliffs that appeared in front of us became sharp and straight, such as hovering and flying. At dawn on the third day, the boat entered the alley, left Xiaoshui from here and set sail for Xiangjiang River. Xiaoshui is the waterway I walked into Yongzhou some time ago, where it meets Xiangshui. One of the two waters comes from the southeast. One is from the southwest, that is, Xiangshui. Will go north at the same time and become the mainstream of many streams in Dongting Lake. Located between the two rivers is the Shan Zhi Mountains, which extends northward. At the end of the mountain range, there are two streams of water, as sharp as a dragon's tail. Because there are no columnar stones on the ridge, two streams of water are eroded from both sides, which will inevitably make them gradually thinner before stopping. The east bank of Xiaoshui [that is, the alley mouth is Sao]. There is an ancient Xiaoxiang Pavilion dedicated to Shun Di's two concubines.

Our boat crossed Xiaoshui from the front of the temple to the west, coiled on the tail of a dragon, and entered Xiangshui. In the middle of Xiangkou, there is a pile of sand and stones hanging. The trees above are like mountains, and the water in the middle of Hunan is swirling in two directions. If it's like the beads contained in Longkou, all boats will approach the cliff from its west. When our boat went up, because the current rose, it entered from Jiagang, east of Pearl, along the tail of the mountain like a dragon tail. One mile in the line, around the back of the beads, this is parting. From there, I returned to the Xiangjiang River in the northwest. If it seems to enter the throat, there is small water in the south and Xiangjiang River in the north. This is the water at the foot of Xishan Mountain in Shan Zhi, which I saw when I climbed the mountain. At this point, Xiao Shui has become clear, while Xiang Shui is still turbid. When our ship entered the Xiangjiang River, there was a ship moored there waiting for a group of people to board. There are five of them, that is, those who were robbed in Li Yutang the other day. Going up from the alley, the river in the northwest direction is curved, the beach is noisy and the cliffs are strange. Twenty miles away, there is an oblique cliff on the right side of the river, with steep overlapping at the top and exquisite changes at the bottom. Twenty miles further on, there is a cliff that seems to have been flattened on the left side of the river, with yellow stone lines and white water flowing alternately; There is also a cliff standing side by side on the right side of the river, facing the flattened Jiajiang Cliff on the left side of the river, just like the five old peaks of Lushan Mountain standing side by side, which is even more strange and steep. Turn five miles to the west and cross the military port. Turn south again, and there is another mountain, which is broken in the middle and flat, standing on the right side of the river, and the foot of the mountain is soaked with big waves. Ask others, no one knows its name. At this time, the sunset is just outside the mountain. When the boat crossed the east bank of the river, it suddenly saw a hole between the peaks, like a crescent moon, hanging side by side with the sun, but it was immediately covered. Our ship turned from the mountain to the east and anchored between the military port and the platform, five miles from the military port.

On the fourth day, we set sail at dawn and crossed the cliff to the east. The cliff seems to have been flattened, standing on the left side of the river, standing near the water and embedded in a clear pool. If the rocks on it are like cliffs, the color is yellow and white, far exceeding Linwu County. It is square in shape and divided into three parts in the middle. Compared with the cliff on the left bank of the river, there is nothing higher and wider. The boat turned south from Guabang Cliff, traveled twenty miles, and went up to Xiliutan. After walking ten miles, I went to Xi Shi to set free. This deduction already belongs to Dongan County. Now the distribution in Jiang Nanan has been cancelled. There is a small stream called Dongjiang, which flows into Xiangjiang River from south to north. There are many merchants standing on both sides of Dongjiang River, and there is a big stone bridge across the mouth of Dongjiang River, called Fucheng Bridge. This water originated in the southern boundary of Lingling County, and the ship returned to the south from under the bridge and traveled fifteen miles to the boundary of Lingling County. Twenty-five miles away is the Dongjiang Bridge. There are three small rivers above the bridge, and only bamboo rafts can pass through them. According to records, "the source of Yongshui comes from Yongshan Mountain, 90 miles southwest of Yongzhou City, and flows northward into Xiangjiang River." Eternal water is this water, there is no doubt. Shixisao is the dividing line between Lingling and Dongan counties. Xi Shi, according to local inscriptions and documents, is called the Stone Age. Dongjiang, also known as Hongjiang by local people, is caused by the confusion of sounds. On the left side of the Stone Age, there was a towering mountain with a cliff inserted into the river. There is a gap between the cliffs facing north, like a heavy hanging gate gorge. There is a lion cave at the top of Houshan Mountain, which faces southeast and is not very high. Walking down a mile from the cave, you can pass through the hole like Linjiang Chongmen Diaoxia. Unfortunately, the river was full at that time, and the riverside of the mountain was flooded by the current, so the hole could only be lit with torches. At first, I took advantage of the boatman's stop to buy meat, climbed a mile to the top of the mountain, and lingered at the door of the cave. I was afraid that the boatman would not wait for me and could not find a torch to enter the cave, so I hurried back to the boat. At this time, the servant also bought fish and ducks and returned to the boat, so the boat went forward in the rain. After walking five miles, I stopped at Baishazhou. On the cliff opposite the sandbar, there is a stone cliff facing the river, which is covered with yellow and white colors. On the top of the cliff in the north, there is also a stone cliff. In the northwest, there is a buddhist nun that stands with its back against a stone cliff, just opposite my berthing boat. It looks amazing in the rain, but I can't cross the river. On this day, * * * walked forty miles, because it was raining in the sky and the river was very high, and the ship docked from time to time.

On the fifth day, it rained all night, until dawn, and we had breakfast before we set off. Shili, Jiang Nanan cliff flies, and water flows from the north bank to the river, which is called the oil mouth here. 【 or Youjiang. After another five miles, we arrived at Mopanshan and Baitan Port, and the mountains on both sides of the river became steep. On the steep cliff on the right bank of the river, there is a waterfall hanging between the cliffs on both sides. Although rain makes its scenery more magnificent, it is also a constant waterfall. After another five miles, the cliff suddenly stands on the left bank of the river, which is the Art Gorge. The cliff cracked, forming a cliff with many big stones piled on it. There is a stone embedded in its head, which is square and yellow with white, so it imitates the name of Bingshuxia in the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River. There is a waterfall in the west of it, like An Baili, and on the other side of the river there is a round stone like a box, where there is a fruit box pond. Fruit box stone and art of war stone, each round, are the names of fruit box and art of war. Five miles to the west, it is Aquilaria Cliff. Cliff stones are inclined to overlap, forming a striped road. At the end of the high cliff, the overlapping lines suddenly split and two branches appeared in the middle. It is shaped like a tree, slightly blue and black, and its name is agarwood. I don't know whether it is wood or stone. There is a big tree on the agarwood, just at the top of the cliff. There is also a cliff standing at the top of the cliff, and a temple seems to be embedded between the cliffs. Looking up, the fog in the forest is green, and it is really strange to drag the river down. The local people said, "There is a county magistrate who wants agarwood. He tied a big rope to a tree at the end of the cliff and hung people down to get it. Suddenly, the thunder rumbled, the rain poured down and the sky was dark, so he stopped taking agarwood. " I think this is also an expression. After crossing the agarwood cliff, the ship turned south and anchored at the east bank of Luobotou. It was only 25 miles that day, because the beach rose and it kept raining. Rob's head is on the bank of Jiangxi, with his back to the mountains and facing the sea. The village is relatively large, and going northwest from here is the main road to Dongan County. Although the rain stopped on the sixth night, the river rose and the waves were rough, so the ship docked. Looking to the west, Rob's head is separated by Ying Ying Yi Shui, so it is very difficult to ferry by boat. All the firewood on the ship was burned out, and there was no place to buy it on the east coast. I asked Gu's servant to pick up some fallen branches from the tree and use them to make a fire in the morning and evening. In the afternoon, the river receded and the wind was favorable, so we hung the sail and sailed southeast. Walk five miles and stop at Shi Chong Bay in the east. That night, the moonlight was bright and Shan Ye was endless, as if the water waves on the smoky river were slender in the distance, and I couldn't help thinking of the West Lake and Nanpu. [The river rose six or seven feet the night before; The rain stopped for a day, and the marks were six or seven feet. On the seventh day, sail at dawn, turn four miles west and get off the factory. A mile to the west, a mountain in the south of the Yangtze River goes from south to north, and then a mile to the west, and a mountain in the north of the Yangtze River goes from north to south. The confluence of two mountains and one river is like setting up a door, thus dividing the boundaries between Huguang and Guangxi provinces. (To the east of the two mountains, it belongs to Dong 'an County, Yongzhou Prefecture, Huguang; The west of the two mountains belongs to Quanzhou, Guilin, Guangxi. Quanzhou originally belonged to Yongzhou Prefecture, and in the 28th year of Hongwu (1395), it was placed under Guangxi Chief Secretary, so the boundary between the two provinces is not smooth, but smooth. It's five miles to the factory. From here, the ship will turn south for fifteen miles, and then turn west to Liu Pu Sao.

Ten miles south, Jinhua Beach. On the left side of the beach, there is a stone cliff standing at the entrance of the mountain. The roaring river and the steep cliff form two unique heights, which are steep and beautiful at the same time. After crossing the beach, it turned eight miles to the west, which is the mouth of the different river. A stream of water flows into Xiangjiang River from the north shore. The boat returned to the river, which is two miles. This is a big village. Two miles west, parked at the head of the temple.
