Among the seven hundred miles of the Three Gorges, both banks are connected by mountains, with only a few gaps,The cliffs rise and stack upon each other, obscuring the sun, and it is only at midday that the sun can be seen,When urgent commands arrive for the King, sometimes he sets out from Baidi in the morning; in the evening, he arrives at Jiangling, which is a distance of a thousand and two hundred miles. Even when riding swiftly with the wind, he does not travel at a rapid pace,At the times of spring and winter, the river is smooth and green, reflecting the clear, inverted images; there are many strange pine trees growing in steep, rocky areas, hanging waterfalls and roaring streams,The pines are prosperous and vigorous, with many interesting features,Whenever the sun rises early or the frost appears, the forest is cold and the ravine is quiet; often there is the long, piercing cry of a majestic ape,This evokes a haunting and eerie atmosphere, and the echoes reverberate through the deep valley, lingering for a long time,
