Ask Fang Bao for the translation of The Legend of the Wandering Goose , and translate the ancient t

In the Mid-Autumn Festival of the eighth year of Qianlong, the day before the fifteenth day (that is, the fourteenth) entered Yandang Mountain, and came back after two days. Most of the monuments are hazel and turnip, which cannot be climbed and explored, and the appearance of the mountain and the color of the cliff wall are something I have not seen before. My nephew Bao Kongxun said:

Why not write it down? I said, "This mountain is not to be written."

The mountains of Yongzhou and Liuzhou are a mountain bag and a ravine in a desolate and remote place, and Liu Zongyuan (Zi Hou) was relegated to live there, and deeply explored the mountains and rivers (sending love to the mountains and rivers) to pass the time, so he was familiar with the whole appearance of the mountains. Like this mountain, it is the west of the mountain in Zhejiang and the east of the sea are connected around, deep and strange, steep and steep, strange, strange shape, it is really big and many, want to carve it out and pursue the same as this mountain, then the appearance of the mountain, the color of the stone wall, and those mountains known as the famous mountains are the same, can not distinguish which is the rock ravine of this mountain. ”

But my own experience from this mountain has two points. What I have seen before, such as Fushan in Tongcheng, Anhui Province, Setshan (Qixia Mountain) in Jinling (Nanjing), and Feilai Peak in Lin'an (Hangzhou), their cliffs and caves are not not beautiful and beautiful, but stupid monks carved many stone statues of immortals and Buddhas, and vulgar reading dyes on them to depict their names and poems, which are as shocking as scars. And only this mountain has preserved the appearance and color of the primeval period to this day, and the cliff wall rises thousands of people (仞, the ancient unit of measurement of length), people can not climb, and it is in a remote area, and the rich and capable people have no chance to come here, even if they come, they cannot stay for a long time, and they cannot gather craftsmen to build houses to make a name for themselves, so this mountain has never been carved and excavated by stupid monks and vulgar scholars.

Moreover, all the bright scenery of the mountains and rivers can make visitors happy, and this mountain is rocky and steep, when you look up and look down at the ground, you will not feel that you will be beating, probably all kinds of feelings are gone, all kinds of worries are gone, and my nature and the spirit of heaven and earth are completely connected. Based on these two points, people with perfect moral character can understand their own conduct, the knowledge of experiencing worldly affairs, and the ways in which sages achieve their own accomplishment of all things.

Wandering Goose (Qing) Fang Bud.

In the mid-autumn of Guihai [1], the day before entering Yanshan [2], the more the two days are reversed. There are many historical sites and hazel gates that cannot be explored, and the mountains and walls are unprecedented. Bao nephew Kong Xun [3]:

[4]?Yu said: "Zishan can't be remembered."

Yong, Liu Zhushan, is a Qiu and a gully in the wilderness [5], the son is thick and dwells, and the secluded search is to send the sun and the moon [6], so the song is full of its description. If the mountain, then the east and west mountains and seas of Zhejiang, strange and dangerous, the strange and treacherous, the real big and many, want to carve and paint and seek its Xiao like, then the mountain wall color is the same as the famous mountain, there is no other way to be the rock ravine of the Zi Mountain. ”

And the rest of the only ones who have access to Zishan have two things. As seen before, such as the floating mountain of Wantong, the mountain of Jinling [7], and the Feilai peak of Lin'an, its cliffs and caves are not beautiful, and the foolish monks are mostly chiseled into the appearance of the immortal Buddha, and the layman engraves his name and his poems, such as sores and stumbling into people's eyes [9]. And Zishan is unique to its ancient complexion so that today, the wall is erected thousands of miles, can not be climbed, and is located in a remote place, the rich and powerful have no reason to come, even if they can not stay for a long time, the frame dove workers to self-standard unveiled [10], so in the end it is not disgraced by the foolish monks and laymen.

In addition, those who are bright and sunny in the mountains and rivers can make the visitors happy and happy, and those who look up and look down at the deep walls of the mountains and rocks, and those who look up and down, are solemn and quiet, and do not feel that they are automatic, and when they cover this, they are overwhelmed and worried[11], and my original heart is in contact with the spirit of heaven and earth[12]. Observing these two, the monks can observe the learning of the world[13], and the way of the sages to become their own things[14], and they can all be seen.

The day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, I went to Yandang Mountain and came back after two days. Most of the monuments in the mountains are deserted, and they are hidden by overgrown vegetation and cannot be explored. The peak posture and cliff scenery of Yandang Mountain are completely different from the places I have been to before. It's mine.

Bao Kongxun said: "Why don't you write a travelogue? I replied, "I can't remember this mountain." ”

The mountains of Yongzhou and Liuzhou are just small ravines in barren places, and Liu Zongyuan degraded the official residence of Yong and Liu, and used the secluded exploration to pass the time, so he used all the rhetoric to describe it. And Yandang Mountain is coiled in the southeast corner of Zhejiang, deep and strange, steep and dangerous, strange and strange shape of the chaos and peaks, not only high but also many. If you have to use words and phrases to describe Yandang, you can only describe the scenery of Yandang as similar to other famous mountains, but cannot show its uniqueness.

And I think there are two things that are unique about Yandang.

Mountains that have been seen before, such as Anhui.

The floating mountain, Nanjing's Qixia Mountain, Hangzhou's Feilai Peak, their peaks and cliffs are not unbeautiful, it is those stupid monks who like to carve the appearance of the fairy Buddha on the mountain, those who are vulgar and unbearable to accompany Li.

and love to engrave their names and poems on them, these carved mountains are as miserable as scars. And Yandang Mountain can only maintain the original appearance of the mountain. This is because the walls of Yandang Mountain stand thousands of miles, can not be easily climbed, and is in a remote place, the rich and powerful generally do not come here without special reasons, even if they come, they will not stay for a long time, spend time and financial resources to show that they "come here", this is the reason why Yandang Mountain has never been insulted by the foolish monks and laymen who peel off the axe and chisel.

The beautiful and bright mountains and rivers can make visitors happy. However, the rock of Yandang Mountain is deep and the wall is sharpened, and it is necessary to look up and look down. Between the pitches, the feeling of solemnity and tranquility is involuntary. Once this happens, the distractions and worries of the human world will disappear, and the heart will begin to connect with the spirit of heaven and earth.

Knowing these two points, then the knowledge of the noble people who keep the world, and the methods of the sages and sages to become their own things, can be obtained and understood.
