Eight hundred quicksand boundary, three thousand weak water depth, goose feathers can not float, the meaning of the reed flower sinking at the bottom: the boundary of the quicksand is eight hundred miles, the river is three thousand feet deep, the goose feathers on the water surface are uncertain, and the reed flowers slowly sink to the bottom of the river.

The sentence is from "Journey to the West".

In the twenty-second episode of "Three Tibets Do Not Forget the Roots, Four Sages Test the Zen Heart", there is a poem describing the danger of the quicksand river: "Eight hundred quicksand boundaries, three thousand weak water depths, goose feathers cannot float, and the reed flowers sink at the bottom." "Here Bajie vs. Quicksand River, Muzha.

Enlighten the Dharma and purify it. It is thousands of miles long and 800 miles wide, and the owner of the river is a sand monk.

This sentence is a poem in "Journey to the West", which means:

The 800-mile quicksand world has a weak-water lake 3,000 feet deep; On the surface of this lake, even goose feathers cannot float, and the reed flowers can only sink to the bottom in the end.

The poem depicts a mysterious and dangerous place, where quicksand and weak water create a treacherous environment that makes people feel the hardships and dangers of the journey. Goose feathers and reed flowers symbolize lightness and softness, but they cannot float or sink to the bottom in this environment, expressing the difficulty and inadmissibility of travel.

Weak water can be either real or imaginary. The actual reference refers to a river from Jinta in Gansu Province to Xixin Village in Ejinaqi Lake in Inner Mongolia. Imaginary finger refers to a river that is fast and shallow and cannot be floated.

The meaning of this sentence: There is a weak water 3,000 meters deep in the 800-mile quicksand river, where even goose feathers cannot float, and the reeds that fall here will definitely sink to the bottom.

This sentence comes from the twenty-second chapter of "Journey to the West" "Three Tibets do not forget the original, and the four saints test the Zen heart": The three Tang monks and apprentices walked through the Huangfeng Ridge and came to a land of Pingyang, only to see a big water and turbulent waves, and the masters and apprentices were amazed.

But I saw a stone tablet on the bank, with three seal characters on it, which was "quicksand river", and there were small four lines of real words on the belly: "Eight hundred quicksand boundaries, three thousand weak water depths; The goose feathers can't float, and the reed flowers sink at the bottom. ”

This is the description of the quicksand river in **, **can be fictionalized storyline, not to mention myth**, of course, people will not use this to find the 800-mile-wide quicksand river in reality.

The quicksand boundary does not exist, and the weak water is the second largest inland river in the country that still flows today, the Heihe River.

In the area of Ningxia, Gansu Province, there is a river, and the name is weak water.

Quicksand in the desert, weak water is swamp of course exists.

In the twenty-second chapter of "Journey to the West", when Tang Sanzang collected sand monks, there was a poem describing the danger of the quicksand river: 800 quicksand realm, 3,000 weak water depth, what does the weak water refer to here?

Flipping through the books, it is generally believed that many shallow and rapid rivers can not be used boats and can only be transitioned by rafts, because the water is weak and can not carry boats, so such rivers are called weak water, such as "Shangshu 6 1 Yu Gong" records "guide the weak water to Heli", "Shangshu Ancient Texts Commentary" records "weak water out of Zhangye", "Classic of Mountains and Seas" records that "there is water in the north of Kunlun, and its strength cannot win mustard, so it is called weak water".

However, the combination of weak water and numbers refers to danger and distant, such as Su Shi's "Jinshan Miaogaotai" "Penglai is not reachable, 30,000 miles of weak water", Zhang Xiaoxiang of the Song Dynasty "Water Dragon Yin - Looking at Jiuhua Mountain" "Ethereal beads and foolish guards, looking at Penglai, there is no weak water at the beginning", and "Dream of Red Mansions" "If you meet and ask where your home is, but in the west of Penglai weak water". The geography work weak water is also used to refer to the Poyi River or Heishui River located in the northwest, "the Yueshi built the capital Zhaowu City, the Xiongnu stationed on the weak water bank", and there is still a weak water river on the map of Gansu Province.

But what I want to say is still "800 quicksand realm, 3,000 weak water depth, goose feathers can't float, and the reed flowers sink at the bottom". I once wrote that "the quicksand river is not a river", since there is no water in the 800 quicksand river, what does the 3,000 weak water mean? And deep!

I thought that the weak water was a small lake, the water was very shallow, and underneath the water was a swamp, which was very deep. Thinking in this way, it is easy to understand, and it can also explain that "the goose feathers can't float, and the reed flowers sink to the bottom", these eight hundred miles of quicksand realm run through many terrible swamps, and the reeds in the swamps have sunk to the bottom.
