"Essays of Spring in the Hall"

Original text: Dongpo's "The Story of Shizhongshan" lamented Li Yuan's simplicity and laughed at Li Bo's ugliness. Those who visit Shizhongshan to this day all agree with Po's words. Peng Xueqin, the minister of Yu's family... who had been stationed in Jiangxi for the longest time, said to Yu: There are two Zhongshan Mountains in Hukou County. One is in the west of the city, by Poyang Lake, called Upper Zhongshan; the other is in the east of the city, near the river, called Lower Zhongshan. [1], going down to Zhongshan is the recording place on the east slope. However, Dongpo said that the rocks and wind and water are mixed together, and the sound is like music. This is probably not the case. There are many mountains in the water in the world. Wherever there are cracks and feng shui encounter each other, there will be the sound of banging, boring, and mandarin fishing. Why is this the case in Duzi Mountain? I have lived at the mouth of the lake for a long time. Every winter when the water falls, there is a cave door at the foot of the mountain. Entering it, you will see that it is exquisite and exquisite, and the milk stones are scattered like a ceiling, about to fall. The road winds like a dragon, and the cliffs are covered with dry clams, like scales. The cave is spacious, with bypasses to the left and right, and can accommodate thousands of people. The uppermost layer is dark and indistinguishable. Standing on the candlestick, the ground is flat, the air is gentle, the bats are as big as fans, and there are many feet of sand at night. There is a small hole next to it, and a snake enters it. It is wide enough to accommodate three people. The word "Alchemy Room" is engraved on the wall, and there are many small poems, all of which are delightful. As the saying goes: "I have been lying drunk for three thousand years, and I am so happy that no one in the world knows about it." Another saying: "I have rested for a thousand years and no one knows about it, and the peach blossoms bloom in spring at the gate of the cave." There is no date and name, and I don't know who made it. The whole mountain is empty, like a bell covering the ground, hence the name bell. The upper Zhongshan Mountain is also hollow. Both of these mountains should be judged by their shapes, not their sounds. On that day, Dongpo still passed through his door but did not enter his room.

Translation: Su Shi's "The Story of Shizhong Mountain" lamented the simplicity of Li Yuan and Li Bo. People who visit Shizhong Mountain today think his words are right. My father-in-law, Peng Peng Xueqin, the minister, who has stayed in Jiangxi the longest, told me: There are two Zhongshan Mountains in Hukou County, one is in the west of the city, on the edge of Poyang Lake, called Shangzhongshan; the other is in the city To the east, facing the river, it is called Xia Zhongshan. Going down to Zhongshan is where Su Shi wrote his notes. But Su Shi said that the rocks and Feng Shui interacted with each other and produced a sound like music. This may not be the case. There are many mountains in the water in the world. Whenever there is a gap and the wind and water encounter each other, there will be the sound of clanging, boring and mandarin. Why is this mountain (Shizhong Mountain) named like this? I have lived at the mouth of the lake for a long time. Every winter when the water drops, a door-like hole appears at the foot of the mountain. Entering the cave, the inside is exquisite, with stalactites scattered like a ceiling, hanging down as if they are about to fall to the ground. The path winds like a dragon. The cliffs were covered with dried clams, like scales. The cave is spacious, with the left and right leading to other caves, and can accommodate thousands of people. The uppermost level was dark and indistinguishable. Climbing with candles lit, the terrain was flat, the air was mild, the bats were as big as fans, and their dried feces accumulated more than a foot. There is a small hole next to it, which you can walk in like a snake, and it becomes wide enough to accommodate three people sitting down. The word "Alchemy Room" is engraved on the stone wall, and there are many short poems with very good sentences. For example, it says: "I have been lying drunk for three thousand years, and I am so happy that no one in the world knows about it." It also says: "I have rested for a thousand years and no one knows about it, and the peach blossoms bloom in spring." There is no name of the year, and I don't know who made it. . Because the whole mountain is empty, as if the ground is covered with bells, it gets the name bell. Upper Zhongshan is also hollow. These two mountains should be named based on their shapes, not their sounds. Su Shi seemed to have passed through the door without going in that day.
