"Three Gorges" Northern Wei Dynasty Li Daoyuan
From the Three Gorges, there are mountains on both sides for seven hundred miles, with no gaps. The mountains are stacked on top of each other, hiding the sky and blocking out the sun. At midnight, there is no bright moon in the pavilion.
As for Xiashui Xiangling, it is blocked along the way. Or if the king's order is urgently announced, sometimes he will send the White Emperor in the morning and arrive at Jiangling in the evening. During the journey of 1,200 miles, even if he rides on the wind and rides on the wind, he will not be sick.
In spring and winter, the green pool is clear and clear, with thousands of grotesque cypresses growing there, and suspended springs and waterfalls.
Every sunny and frosty day, in the cold woods and austere streams, a tall ape often cries out, which is very bleak and bleak. Therefore, a fisherman sang: "The Badong Three Gorges and the Wu Gorge are long, and the apes cry three times and shed tears on their clothes."
