The original text and translation of the Zhixitang Ji of Yiling County

Although the king of the state passes the market, he will often take advantage of the situation and cover his nose to move quickly.

Translation:

Shu was divided into one side and established itself as a country during the Five Dynasties period, and the country was called Shu.

With natural hazards as a barrier, the self-sufficient rich side has almost no access to all parts of the Central Plains for 59 years. Until the Song Dynasty complied with the mandate of heaven, unified the world, and pacified the Quartet one by one. Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, pacified Shu in the third year after changing from Jianlong to Yuan Qiande (in fact, Jianlong began to attack Shu in 2 years, and it took 5 years to pacify Shu).

As a result, the silk and brocade of Shu real estate continue to be demanded by the world, and those merchants who travel back and forth have traveled from Kansai by land.

Qinchuan came by car, and there were also from the Minjiang River by waterway.

Coming, bustling and stretching for thousands of miles.

The Minjiang River is formed by gathering all the large and small waterways of Shudi, and it is called Jingjiang River when it comes out of the Three Gorges, the river course is tortuous and meandering, and the water flow is turbulent and turbulent. The water gathers very quickly, like an army of horses galloping down. Hundreds of miles away from the river in an instant, and the people on the boat don't have time to enjoy the beautiful scenery on the shore.

If there is a slight mistake during the boat.

Collide with a reef in the waterway and the boat will be smashed to pieces and swallowed up by the current. Therefore, as long as goods were transported from Shu to enrich the treasury and provide products for the imperial court to be used in various state capitals, they were generally transported by land. Only the unimportant things that were left were transported by water, and the delivery of these goods was like throwing away, as was the danger and unpredictability of the Minjiang River.

Yiling. As a state and county, it is at the exit of the Three Gorges, and the water flow of the Minjiang River here is calm. Therefore, those who sailed here would drink and thank God, and congratulate each other as if they were reincarnated.

Shangshu Province. Zhu Zaizhi, who was under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Lower Works, arrived in Yiling Prefecture for 3 months, and built a Zhixi Pavilion at the riverside ferry as a resting place for boatmen from the Minjiang River. Moreover, the name of Zhixi Pavilion also contains the danger of the Minjiang River waterway, which is calmed here, and pedestrians feel lucky and happy for this.

Yiling is a remote state and county, and the best money and official Lu here are very meager, and because of its remote location, even if it has good political achievements, it cannot be praised in the world as a capital for promotion. However, Zhu Zaizhi was able to accept this not a good situation, and he was also able to live a happy life for people away from trouble, "Book of Songs".

The "kind, approachable, and humble gentleman" is a man like him.

Since his arrival, there has been a good harvest every year, because the people are rich, and they are able to make a difference and give favors to those merchants who come and go. The pavilion was repaired to let them rest, so that they would not miss the business, so the past merchants could rely on him, and they spoke highly of him. So the doormen under him discussed this with each other and found me, Ouyang Xiu.

This article was written to praise his exploits.
