Original: Dongpo's The Story of Shi Zhongshan lamented the simplicity of Li Yuan and laughed at the ugliness of Li Bo. Up to now, people who have been to Shi Zhongshan regard Poe as their mother tongue. Assistant minister Weng Peng Xueqin, my in-laws ... have been stationed in Jiangxi for the longest time. Speaking of Yu Yun, there are two in Zhongshan, Hukou County, one in the west of the city, near Poyang Lake, and the other in Zhongshan; One is in the east of the city, near the river, named Xiazhong Mountain [1], where Dongpo is recorded. But Dongpo said that rocks and geomantic omen are in harmony and sound like music, which is not necessarily the case. There are many mountains in the water. Where there are cracks, where feng shui meets, there is the sound of muffled cymbals. Why are mountains lonely? I have lived in the estuary for a long time. Every winter, when the water falls, there is a cave at the foot of the mountain. Into it, it is exquisitely carved, and the milk stone is loose like smallpox and hanging down. The path winds like a dragon, and the cliffs are covered with dead clams, just like fish scales. The cave is spacious and can accommodate thousands of people. The top floor was dark and indistinguishable. When climbing by candlelight, the ground is flat and the air is mild. Bats are as big as fans, and sand accumulates at night. There is a small hole next to it, which is wide enough for three people to sit in. The word "Fontaine" is engraved on the wall, and there are many small poems, all of which are gratifying. As a cloud said, "I have been drunk for three thousand years, and I am glad that no one knows me." There is another cloud: "I don't know if people have rested for thousands of years, and peach blossoms start in spring. "Without age and name, I don't know who did it. Cover the whole mountain sky, like a bell covering the ground, hence the name bell. Upper Zhongshan is also hollow. These two mountains should be discussed by form, not by sound. Dongpo passed by his door that day and didn't enter his room.
Su Shi's Biography of Shi Zhongshan lamented the simplicity of Li Bo and Li Yuan, and people who have been to Shi Zhongshan so far think that what he said is right. Pengpeng Xueqin, my in-laws and assistant minister who stayed in Jiangxi for the longest time, told me: There are two Zhongshan Mountains in Hukou County, one is in the west of the city, next to Poyang Lake, called Shangzhongshan Mountain; One is in the east of the city, facing the river, and called Zhongshan. Xiazhongshan is where Su Shi (sightseeing) takes notes. But Su Shi said that stones and geomantic omen blend with each other and make sounds like music. I'm afraid this is not the case. There are many underwater mountains in the world, but whenever there are cracks and the wind meets the water, there is a rumbling sound. Why only this mountain (Shi Zhongshan)? I lived at the mouth of the lake for a long time. Every winter when the water level drops, there is a hole like a door at the foot of the mountain. Into the hole, the inside is exquisitely carved, and the stalactites are as loose as smallpox and drooping as if they were about to fall to the ground. The road twists and turns like a dragon. The cliff is covered with dead clams, just like scales. The cave is spacious and can lead to other caves on the left and right, which can accommodate thousands of people. The top floor is dark and dull. Climbing with candles, the terrain is flat and the air is mild. Bats are as big as fans, and their dry feces have accumulated more than a foot. There is a small hole next to it, which is wide enough for three people to sit in like a snake. The stone wall is engraved with the word "Fontaine", and there are many beautiful poems. For example, "I've been drunk for three thousand years, and I'm glad no one knows this world." It also says: "People don't know for thousands of years, and peach blossoms start in spring." There is no date or name, and I don't know who did it. Because the whole mountain is empty, just like covering the ground with a clock, it got the name of the clock. Upper Zhongshan is also hollow. The two mountains should be named after their shapes, not their sounds. On that day, Su Shi passed by the door and didn't go in.
