The text Badong Three Gorges, a translation of the Three Gorges of Badong

Translation: Every morning when the sun is sunny and frosty, there is a cold silence in the woods and mountain streams, and there are often apes growing in high places, and the sound of apes is very clear, and it is heard in the valley, and the clear sound is constantly extinguished.

Lingling is the sound of water, which is used on animals in ancient classical Chinese to describe the sound of animals is clear, as clear as water, and the sound is constantly extinction.

Poetry appreciation:

The Three Gorges of the Yangtze River has become a famous dangerous situation because of the mountains on both sides of the river, the winding river road, and the turbulent water potential. Under the conditions of ancient times, fishermen or pedestrians passing by this place by boat could not help but be afraid of the scene, although "a thousand sails passed by the side of the sunken boat", but after all, they had to be ready to pay the price of their lives at any time. It's the mood of the inner subjective existence.

In addition to seeing the beach and the high mountain, there are many apes here, and the ape voice is sad and its mournful sound is just with the unsafe sound of people in danger when they are in danger to "catch fire" and "collide", so when the spark of the soul flashes, it can not help but produce fear, so as to feel sad and deeply taste the difficulty of walking. This is the first meaning.

If the sound of apes occasionally falls, it is fine, and there are many apes here, and the sound of apes rises and falls, and it is "the sound of the empty valley", echoing each other, from this to the other, as for "the lingering endless" or "mourning for a long time". Those who entered the ears were actually "the sound of apes on both sides of the strait could not stop crying", and the sound struck the hearts of the boaters. This adds to the sadness and the difficulty of traveling.

This is the second meaning.

The ape screams are unbearable to hear, and the two voices can not bear to carry the feast, as for the three and four sounds, the sound is endless, this situation, although the heart of the stone, can not help but shed tears for it, so as to produce the heart of "Huaishi", regret what to do and stay away from home, away from relatives, and wade into danger so far.

Both songs are based on the sound of apes and human tears, which not only cut the characteristics of the place, but also fit the mood of pedestrians and fishermen. The song does not say the danger and difficulty of the Three Gorges Road, and the sad state of mind of pedestrians and fishermen, but its "meaning" is already in it. Two sentences of 14 characters, the text is concise and rich, subtle and profound, the poems are scattered and concealed, and the meaning is eternal, and it is a rare folk song masterpiece.
