During the Taiyuan period of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there was a Wuling man who took fishing as a profession. One day he rowed along the stream and forgot how far it was. Suddenly I came across a peach blossom forest. The peach trees grew close to both sides of the stream for hundreds of steps. There were no other trees in the middle. The flowers and plants were bright and beautiful, and the flowers were falling. The fisherman was surprised by this beautiful scenery. Going forward, I want to finish the peach forest.

The peach grove disappeared where the stream originated. Then I saw a mountain with a small hole on the mountain, and there seemed to be light inside. (The fisherman) left the boat and entered through the entrance of the cave. The entrance to the cave was very narrow at first, allowing only one person to pass through. After walking a few dozen steps, it suddenly became open and bright. The land here is flat and open, the houses are neatly arranged, there are fertile fields, beautiful ponds, mulberry trees and bamboos. The fields and paths are intertwined, and the sounds of cocks and dogs can be heard in the villages. People there come and go to work in the fields, and the men and women are dressed exactly like the people outside the Peach Blossom Spring. The old man and the children were all leisurely, happy and enjoying themselves.

(A native of Taoyuan) was surprised when he saw the fisherman and asked where he came from. (The fisherman) answered him in detail. He invited the fisherman to his home, served wine, killed chickens and cooked meals. When people in the village heard that there was such a man, they all came to inquire about him. They themselves said that in order to escape the wars of the Qin Dynasty, their ancestors led their wives, children and fellow villagers to this isolated place. They never went out again, so they were isolated from the world outside the Peach Blossom Spring. They asked what dynasty we were in now, but they didn't know there was a Han Dynasty, let alone the Wei Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty. The fisherman told them in detail what he knew one by one. After hearing this, those people sighed and felt sorry. The other people each invited the fisherman to their homes and entertained him with fine wine and meals. The fisherman stayed here for a few days, then said goodbye and left. The people here told him: "The situation here is not worth telling the world outside the Peach Blossom Spring."

The fisherman has come out, found his boat, and went back along the old road. Marked. Returned to (Wuling) County, went to see the prefect and reported the situation. The prefect immediately sent someone to follow him to look for the mark he had made before, but he lost his way and could not find the road again.

Liu Ziji, a noble man from Nanyang, heard about this and happily planned to go. It was not realized and he soon died of illness. After that, no one asked for directions to visit (Peach Blossom Spring) anymore.

From the 700-mile total length of the Three Gorges, the mountains on both sides are connected without any interruption. The mountains are overlapping and continuous, blocking the sun and the sky. If it is not noon or evening , the sun and the moon will never be seen.

In summer, when the floods surge up to the mountains, both the upward and downward movements are blocked. Sometimes the emperor’s edict needs to be conveyed urgently, so, from Bai Emperor to Although Jiangling is 1,200 miles long, it starts in the morning and arrives in the evening. Even if it is a galloping horse, the driver is not so fast.

Every spring and winter, white Streams of rapids and turquoise rocks, swirling clear waves, reflecting the scenery on both sides of the river. In the high mountains grow many strange cypress trees, in the mountains and waterfalls with flying colors. There is indeed a lot of fun in the clear, lush trees, high mountains and lush grass.

On a clear and frosty morning in the early autumn, the woods are desolate and calm, the mountain streams are silent, and the long cries of the apes continue for a long time and are miserable. The sound was unusual and echoed in the valley for a long time, so the fishermen said: "The Wu Gorge is the longest in the Badong Three Gorges. After hearing the sound of the ape, my clothes were wet with tears.
