Branch ditches have both seasonal and four-season rivers. Whenever the rainy season comes, the creek flows out. Sometimes the stream flows with a pity, winding around trees and rocks, and the gurgling sound is like the elegant music of Yao Qin; sometimes it is as fast as a frightening dragon, rushing down the steep and narrow channel, with falling flowers flying, and the sound is like Thunder. The changes in the movement and stillness of the stream, as well as the special postures of hardness and softness, fully demonstrate the mystery of nature.

What is amazing is that Tongjiahu Valley, the descendants of Sima Qian, lives in the upper reaches of the water. The mountain streams flow with a sweet sound, just like virgins meeting each other, extremely soft and quiet, and when encountering steep cliffs, they are like a flying stream. Lianzhi hangs into the valley, and the water meets the pond at the bottom of the ditch. The scenery is excellent.
