**Ten Thousand Fans Incentive Plan He passed through the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River and wrote this evocative work. The name Meng Jiao must be familiar to everyone, a song "Wanderer's Yin" has been sung to this day, and his poems are famous for "thin and hard". Due to the endless war in the Central Plains, he had to go south, in a boat against the Yangtze River, passing through the Wu Gorge, looking at the green hills on both sides of the river like a giant dragon winding and undulating, the mountains overlapped, clouds and mist, like a flowing landscape painting presented in front of him. The rushing river, with its roaring sounds, kept lapping against the reefs on both sides, sounding like the earth was whispering. In this picturesque scenery, the most striking is the twelve peaks standing on both sides of the Yangtze River, but among the twelve peaks, the Goddess Peak is the most strange and the most desirable. The south of the twelve peaks is the place where the legendary king of Chu and the goddess meet, it is called the balcony mountain, the balcony mountain is as green as jade, the cliff is like cutting, towering, giving people a solemn and mysterious feeling.

In this intoxicating Wushan, there is an ancient and beautiful legend, whenever people pass through Wuxia, they will naturally think of this mythical story, according to legend, the king of Chuxiang came to Wushan to hunt, at dusk, there was a rain here, so he came to the goddess's residence - Gaoqiu, because the sky was late, he stayed here for the night. When he fell asleep, he saw in his dream the beautiful goddess who was all over the country and the city, the goddess was dressed in a light veil, dancing in front of him, and the light dance steps made people fascinated, like a blooming water lotus swaying in the wind.

Pale red fluttering clouds lingered around him, and the light veil on her body was wet with a drizzle, adding a bit of charm to her. She is like a flowing cloud in the sky, freely shuttling through the Wu Gorge. At dawn, the moon and stars in the sky were scarce, and she quickly disappeared without a trace in the Wuxia, and when King Chu Xiang woke up, he found that it was a beautiful dream, but he was still intoxicated and couldn't extricate himself.

As time passed, the poet gradually returned from the myths and legends to reality, how he wished to see the face of the goddess with his own eyes, but even if he looked far away and was fascinated, he never saw the shadow of the goddess, which could not help but make him sad. At this moment, the apes inhabiting on both sides of the strait let out a burst of mournful chirps, how can this scene not make people cry secretly? Tears flowed down her cheeks and onto her clothes, wetting them. In order to express his thoughts and thoughts, the poet Meng Jiao picked up his pen and combined the legend of the Goddess Peak with the scenery in the gorge to write the seven-character ancient poem "Wushan Song", which reads:

The upper gorge of the Bajiang River is repeated, and the balcony is steep and twelve peaks.

King Jing hunts in the twilight rain, and sleeps on the high hill at night to dream of the goddess.

The light red smoke is wet and gorgeous, and the clouds fly away and the stars are scarce.

The eyes were broken, and the ape cried three tears.

The first two sentences describe the scenery you see, three or four sentences describe myths and legends, five or six sentences describe the goddess, and the last two sentences describe the melancholy brought by not seeing the goddess. Among them, the two sentences of "the eyes and souls are out of sight, and the ape cries three tears", which is transformed into "Water Jing Note: River Water": "The Three Gorges of Badong is long, and the ape screams three times and tears stains his clothes". In this poem, the poet Meng Jiao blends the melancholy of the detention in the gorge with the mythological story, which is evocative to read.
