The "mountain market" of Huanshan is one of the eight scenic spots in Zichuan County, but it often does not appear once in several years. (One day) Sun Yu Nian Gongzi was drinking upstairs with his friends in the same industry, and suddenly saw a lonely pagoda on the top of the mountain, high in the sky, (everyone) you look at me, I look at you, and surprised and confused, thinking that there is no Buddhist temple near here. Not long after, I saw dozens of palaces, the tiles were green, and the roofs were high up, and then I realized that it was originally a "mountain market".
Not long after, a high city wall appeared, with a short concave and convex wall, which stretched for six or seven miles, and turned out to be a city. There are buildings in the city, halls, and neighborhoods, all of which are clearly presented in front of you, and you can't count them. Suddenly, a strong wind blew, and the whole city became blurred.
After a while, the wind ceased, the sky cleared, and all the previous sights were gone, except for one tall building, which was connected to the sky, and there were five rooms (on each floor), and the windows were open, and there were five bright places, which were the sky outside.
Counting layer by layer, the higher the room, the smaller the bright spots; Counting to the eighth layer, the bright spot is only as small as a star; Further up, it becomes dim, as if there is nothing, and its layers cannot be seen clearly. People on the upper floors come and go, doing their own things, some leaning (on the railing) and some standing in different postures. After a while, the building gradually lowered and the roof could be seen; Gradually, it became the same as an ordinary building; Gradually, it became a high bungalow again; Suddenly, it shrank back to the size of a fist, (and then shrunk) to the size of a bean, and finally disappeared completely.
I also heard that there were people who got up early and rushed to see houses, markets, and shops on the hills, which were no different from the conditions of the earthly world, so people called it a "ghost market."

"Mountain City" is a short story written by the Qing Dynasty writer Pu Songling**.
Full text translation:
The mountain market of Huanshan is one of the famous eight scenic spots in Zichuan County, but it is rare to see it once in several years. There was a son named Sun Yunian, who was drinking upstairs with a few like-minded friends, and suddenly saw a lonely tower on the top of Huanshan Mountain, towering high into the sky. Everyone looked at each other, surprised, and thought that there was no such Zen temple nearby.
It didn't take long for dozens of tall palaces to appear, with turquoise glazed tiles and flying eaves, and people understood that there was a mountain market. After a while, I saw a high and low city wall, which was six or seven miles long, and it looked like a city. Among them, the scenery is like a building, like a hall, like a street and alley, and one by one appears clearly in front of you, so much that it can be calculated by hundreds of millions.
Suddenly, a strong wind blew, and the dust in the air was so great that the city became faint. Then, the wind stopped, the sky cleared again, and everything was gone, except for a tall building, reaching into the sky. There are five rooms on each floor of this building, and the doors and windows are all wide open; There are five bright places in each row, revealing that it is the sky on the other side of the building.
Counting layer by layer, the higher the building, the smaller the bright spot, and when you count to the eighth floor, the bright spot is as big as a star; Counting up again, it was so dim that I couldn't see clearly, and I couldn't calculate the levels. The people upstairs were hurrying back and forth, some leaning and some standing, with different shapes. After a while, the building gradually lowered down, and the roof could be seen, and slowly it became like a tall building again, and gradually like a tall house, and suddenly it was as big as a fist, and as small as a bean, and then there was nothing to see.
I also heard that there were people who got up early and rushed to see shops and markets on the mountain, and there were people coming and going, which was no different from the world, so it was also called "ghost market".
The original text is as follows:
Huanshan Mountain City, one of the eight scenic spots of Yi, but it has not been seen for several years. Sun Gongzi Yu Nian and the same people drink upstairs, suddenly see a lonely tower on the top of the hill towering, high inserted in the green dark, look at each other and be suspicious, and there is no such Zen temple in the near middle. No, see dozens of palaces, Biwa Feiyong, the beginning of the realization of the mountain city.
Not long, the high wall is wide, even six or seven miles, and the city is actually in the city. There are those who are in the building, those who are in the hall, and those who are in the square, vividly in their minds, and hundreds of millions. Suddenly the wind rose, the dust was reckless, and the city was vague.
Even if the wind is clear, everything is empty, but there is only one dangerous building, directly Xiaohan. There are five buildings with open windows; There are five points in the line, and the sky outside the building is also.
The higher the building, the less bright it is. Count to eight layers, cut like a star. and above, it is ethereal, and its level cannot be counted.
And the people upstairs come and go, either relying on or standing, not the same. Overtime, the building gradually lowers, and its top can be seen; and gradually as usual; and gradually like a high house; Suddenly like a fist like a bean, it is invisible.
I also heard that there were early walkers, and saw that the mountain was crowded with people, and there was no difference between it and the world, so it was also called "ghost market" cloud.
First, the basic methods of classical Chinese translation: >>>More
Excerpt from "Xiaoguang Mansion":
Or a man ordered his son to say, 'Every word and action you say should be done by the teacher.' "The son receives the order and serves the teacher. Teachers eat and eat, and teachers drink and drink; The teacher sneezed, and the student couldn't force it, but thanked him and said: 'My teacher is so wonderful, but it is actually difficult to learn!' ’” >>>More
The accumulation of classical Chinese lies in reading and comprehension in ordinary times! I recommend a book "Ancient and Modern Views", which contains a lot of classical Chinese and annotations! Bookstores sell them all! Pay attention to the explanation of the empty words! Read as much as you can translate yourself! No, you can check the information!
Because you are in charge of translation, please translate according to your own meaning and then know the contents.
Ye Yisheng once said that he barely memorized the method: I am talented, every time I read a book, I will record my favorite chapters, recite it several times after recording, and paste it on the wall, so that there will be more than ten paragraphs every day, at least six or seven paragraphs. After closing the book, it has become a habit to read the excerpts on the wall three or five times a day, and strive to read and memorize them by heart, without missing a word. >>>More
