"Water Mirror" said: "There is no Shi Zhongshan in Peng Li's mouth." Tang gaozu thought that there was a deep pool beside him, and the breeze was beating the waves, and the water and stone were fighting, and the sound was like Hong Zhong. People often doubt this. Now, the bell is put in the water. Although the storm can't hear the sound, the situation is worse! When Li Bo began to visit his ruins in the Tang Dynasty, he found two stones on the pool, which he was listening to. The sound in the south is loud, the sound in the north is clear, the wooden house stops ringing, and the sound is quiet. He thinks he has got it. However, when he said it, I was particularly suspicious. The stone is loud and clear, and everything is there. Why is this unique to the clock?
In June of the seventh year of Yuanfeng, Ding Chou was suitable for you in the boat, while the eldest son Mai went to Dexing, Rao and sent him to Hukou. Because of observing the so-called stone clock, the monk asked the child to take an axe and choose one or two buttons in the stone. Gu Yu smiled and didn't believe it. For the sake of Mo Ming, he took a boat with Mai alone and came to the edge of the cliff. Daisy. Storks inhabit the mountains, and voices also rise, in the clouds;
If the old people in the valley cough or laugh, or the zygomatic cranes, the others are eager to repay them, but they make a loud noise on the water, such as bells and drums. The boatman was afraid. If we can examine it, there is a hole under the mountain, I don't know how shallow it is, and the microwave is in the air, so the ship will enter the port when it returns to the two mountains. Those who keep their mouths shut, those who don't shoot on weekdays, those who are bored with cymbals, and those who sing Wei Zhuangzi's songs. Ancient people are not easy to bully! "
You don't have to look at anything with your eyes or listen to it with your ears. Can you just guess whether it exists or not by subjective assumptions? What Li Yuan saw and heard was almost the same as that of Yu Tong, but it was unknown. The scholar-officials refused to spend the night on the boat under the cliff, so they didn't know; Fishermen and sailors know it, but they won't say it, and they won't pass it on in this world. However, humble people tried to find it with axes, and they thought it was true. I remember lamenting Li Yuan's simplicity and laughing at Li Bo's rudeness.
Inscription: this is a travel note with textual research, in which there must be vivid metaphors, vivid images and personal feelings to write landscapes; At the same time, there are also eloquent refutation and incisive arguments based on this. The full text, such as flowing clouds and flowing water, is natural in arts and sciences, and it can well represent the emotional and rational characteristics of Su Shi's prose.
Translation:
The Water Classic Note says: "At the entrance of Li Peng Lake, there is a Shi Zhongshan." Li Daoyuan's note: "There is a deep pool under it, the breeze stirs the waves, and the lake collides with rocks, making a sound like Hong Zhong." People often doubt this explanation. Now, if you put a clock or A Qing in the water, even if it is a big storm, it can't make a sound, let alone. Li Bo of the Tang Dynasty,
I began to visit the old ruins of this stone mountain and found two stones by the pool. He knocked on the stone and listened to the sound. The sound of stones in the south is vague and heavy, and the sound of stones in the north is crisp and distant. The knocking sound of stopping is still spreading, and the lingering sound is lingering and slowly disappearing for a long time. "He thinks he has a reason. But this explanation makes me more skeptical. There are loud stones everywhere, but only here.
On Ding Chou Day in June of the seventh year of Yuanfeng, I took a boat from Qi 'an County to Linru, and my eldest son, Mai Su, went to Dexing, Raozhou as a county magistrate. I sent him to the mouth of the lake before I had a chance to see what Li Bo called the "stone clock". The monk in the temple sent a child to knock one or two stones with an axe, and the stones rattled. Of course, I laughed and didn't believe this explanation.
I only took a boat with Mai Su and came to the bottom of the cliff. I saw a big stone standing beside me, as high as thousands of feet, like an animal and a ghost, as if to hit someone; However, the falcon perched on the mountain was surprised to hear the sound and screamed in the clouds; There was another old man's cough and laughter in the valley. Someone said, "This is a stork!" "I was in shock and wanted to go back, but suddenly there was a loud noise on the water, which didn't stop like the sound of ringing bells and drums. The boatman was greatly frightened, so I slowly walked over to check it out.
I found caves and cracks at the foot of the mountain. I don't know how deep it is Microwave is poured into caves and cracks, and the circulation stirs, thus producing such a sound. The ship turned back between two mountains and was about to enter the harbor. Found a boulder in the middle of the current, which can sit 100 people. There are many caves in it, which are empty and breathless by wind and water, so that objects collide with each other and bells and drums ring in unison, echoing the previous rumble, just like playing music. Rumbling, like Zhou's non-shooting bell, banging and drumming, like Wei Zhuangzi's ringing bell. The ancients did not lie to us! "
Can you judge whether something is wrong without seeing it with your own eyes and hearing it with your own ears? What Li Daoyuan saw was probably the same as mine, but he didn't elaborate. After all, the average scholar-bureaucrat doesn't want to drive the boat under the cliff at night, so he can't know the truth; Fishermen and boatmen, although they know it, can't write it down, which is why the truth can't spread around the world. People who know little are actually exploring with an axe, thinking that they have obtained a result. I wrote the above story because I lamented that Li Daoyuan's explanation was too brief and laughed at Li Bo's explanation for being too shallow.
