lì dào yuán。Li Daoyuan. 466 527), the word is good.

In the continuous research of later generations of scholars, it gradually formed a kind of learning-Lixue. Since the Sui and Tang dynasties, many scholars have studied the "Notes on the Water Classic", but as a science, Lixue did not develop until after the Ming Dynasty. During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, due to the successive emergence of Quan Zuwang, Zhao Yiqing, and Dai Zhen.

Three masters of Lixue, the research of Lixue tends to be extremely prosperous.

There are three main schools of thought in the study of Lixue, the first of which is the first-class evidence, that is, the attention to the repair and sorting of the text of the Commentary on the Water Classic.

Li Dao is a famous geographer in China, and he is also a tourist in ancient times, and many famous mountains and rivers have left Li Daoyuan's footprints.

Li Daoyuan once wrote "Three Gorges", wrote about the scenery of the Three Gorges that covers the sky and the sun, wrote about the river that travels thousands of miles a day, and wrote about the sadness and pathos of "the chief of the Three Gorges of Badong, the ape screams three times and tears are stained", which is moving to watch.

So, has Li Daoyuan himself been to the Three Gorges?

The answer is that Li Daoyuan himself has not been to the Three Gorges.

So, how did Li Daoyuan's article about the Three Gorges come about, and it was written so realistically, seeing these words seemed to be deep in the Three Gorges.

According to historical records, Li Daoyuan's vivid description of the scenery of the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, to a large extent, is borrowed and combined with the depiction of the Three Gorges by many writers and travelers in the south, including articles, travelogues, and official geographical chronicles.

Original text: Li Daoyuan this stone by the beginning of Yu chiseling, the river is wide, the bank is deep, the cliff is back to defend, the boulder is in danger, if it falls. The ancients had a saying:

Water is not chiseled into stone, but can enter stone. "Faith! Among them, the water flows intersecting, the plain air floats, and the remote observers often touch people like fog and dew, and peep into the deep palpitations.

Its water is still collapsing and the waves are thousands of searches, the suspension is thousands of feet, the muddy flood is angry, the drum is like a mountain, the dredge wave is declining, and it is at the bottom of the mouth. Fang Zhishenzi went down to the dragon gate, floating bamboo, and not the chase of the horse.

Translation: Legend has it that the dragon gate is dug out by Dayu, the river is turbulent, the water is sandwiched by the mountain for a long time, there are cliffs on both sides, and the boulders at the high place seem to fall down on the cliffs. The ancients once said:

Water is not a stonemason's chisel, but it can get into the stone. "Sure enough! The water flow of the dragon gate converges and impacts, the white water vapor floats in the air like a cloud, and the people walking in the distance seem to be entangled in the fog, and there is really a shocking feeling when looking into the depths of the clouds.

The river stirs up thousands of waves, like a waterfall thousands of feet, the river water is like an angry god (an animal in ancient times), the waves are like lofty mountains, the torrents overlap, and go straight downstream. Only then did I know that when Shenzi took a bamboo raft down the dragon gate, the four-horse cart would definitely not be able to catch up.
