What is the original text and translation of Yuan Hongdao s Lingyan Ji ?

There is no mountain in the east of Wu County, only in the west of the city, the peaks are connected together, the mountains are overlapped, and there are many of them; The mountains have ups and downs, and Lingyan is among them, and it is very beautiful, as if it refuses to be mixed with other peaks. Looking at the past, we all know that Lingyan is different.

Walking up from the bottom of the mountain, there is a pavilion, in the middle of the mountain, probably built here, passers-by can rest here without too much physical effort; From the pavilion upwards, there is a deep and tortuous hole, some people say that it is the Shih Tzu Cave; There is also a vigorous spring here, which is said to be the place where Xi Shi is full of flowers, and here are the relics of Wu Wangfu's banquet tour in the past. There is a thatched hall on it, where you can rest; There is a piano platform, where you can stand and look around; There is Xuan, you can see the Dongting Mountain opposite, and the name of Xuan is cui. There is a pavilion, you can overlook the water waves of Taihu Lake, and the name of the pavilion is empty; The void is turbulent, so it is called the Pavilion of Wonders.

The most beautiful mountain in Wu County is Lingyan, and the most beautiful place in Lingyan is here.

I am from Wu County and have come to this place many times. But every time Lingyan seems to hide the scenery of the secluded realm, so he can't see the beauty of the mountains, and he can't find anything bad, maybe Lingyan deliberately despises a shallow person like me. This spring, I followed the governor of Huainan Province, Linchuan Rao Jiegong, and 10 other guests to visit again.

Climbing to a high place, a beautiful mountain view took the initiative to appear; Entering the deep mountains, strange stones naturally appeared; The mountain mist also stretches, and the cedar and cypress trees dance in the wind. Lingyan Mountain, big, small, obvious, and inconspicuous scenery, all compete to show their posture, no longer hidden, and presented without reservation. At this time, I realized that I only began to understand this mountain today, but in fact, I didn't know much about it in the past.

The scenery of the mountain is different and ordinary, and it can still be seen by others, let alone that people are different from ordinary people? Rao Gong ** has a view, and ordered the accompanying guests to write poems and ask me to remember them. I said:

There are not many strange places in the world, and people don't experience the joy of climbing every mountain. Mountains are appreciated by people, and people appreciate mountains, and the two are a reflection (meaning that there is such a mountain and cannot meet such a person, or there is such a person but cannot see such a mountain, it cannot be regarded as a complete pleasure of visiting, the so-called so-called, doubt the mountain named later, celebrities). Now Lingyan is a famous mountain, and you are celebrities, so you must really live up to each other's names.

Is it an accident? It is because people see the scenery and understand it in their hearts, and the scenery is appreciated and the reason can be experienced. And I'm just a crude person, and I have learned from it, isn't it also a kind of luck?

I'm the youngest of them, and I don't dare to shirk the task of writing down the book, so that I can record this luck in private." The ten people who accompanied him were Huaihai Qin Yue, Zhuji Jiang Jian, Henan Lu Ren, Huiji Zhang Xian, Tiantai Zhan Shen, Yuzhang Chen Zeng, Wujun Jinqi, Jinhua Wang Shun, Jialing Yangji and Wuling Liu Sheng.
