What are the original and translated versions of Travel Notes in Yunnan?

Original: Go back to Guizhou and enter Yunnan, and have a high pillow for one night. As soon as the fire started, the master said, "It's 20 miles from here to the Huangni River. It is impossible to cross the river when the water rises, so you need to wait a little longer. " Beggars have no shelter on the east bank of the river, and those who go first are waiting. I see the rain hasn't stopped, and I'm afraid to run back and forth. I just swept the floor and wiped the blackboard several times. I sat outdoors, and the Yi women were all wet and cold. It is covered with thatch, and the eastern part is livestock and horses, and the western part is a donation from the owner. Wet wages were simmered on the spot before the couch, thinking that the roe is a fire pond in Yunnan, but there are only a few places in the north, just a fire away from its couch. At night, you can lie down, at night, you can hide by the fire. Although the rain stopped, the eaves were low and muddy outside, and it was impossible to distinguish the mountains at once.

On the second day of New Year's Day, it still rained heavily. The host said: "The more it rises today, the more difficult it is to cross the river. Tomorrow will be a street, a market in Guizhou, a street in Yunnan and a market in Guangxi. There are many people waiting for the ferry, so the boat must come. In other words, I am also traveling with you. " I have to follow it again. If you sit like yesterday, you will stew porridge on the fire and drink it three times a day, and your intestines will be very moist. At noon, the rain stopped a little. Suddenly I heard the cry of Xiling, and all the people in the village responded. Upon inquiry, the jackal came to hold the sheep, but fortunately, the rescuer was injured and did not die. Beasts are in power during the day, but I am lucky and fearless at night, and I can forget the spirit of heaven and earth!

Suddenly I saw a hole on the cliff facing east, and I climbed up. It is very rough. After half a mile, the soil can't be cut enough, so it means climbing grass roots. Grassroots can't be blamed, but fortunately, stones; But the stone is not strong, it will fall when you practice, and it will fall when you climb. If you become a little sticky, you can't move a step. If you want to go up, you can't help yourself. You have never experienced more dangers in your life. For a long time, I first tried to get indestructible stones with my hands and feet, then moved one hand in the air, one foot in the air, and then moved the other hand in the air. Fortunately, the stone will not fall; I fell feebly, and for a long time, I was lucky to get up.

Translation:

In the year of Wuyin (the eleventh year of Chongzhen 1638), it rained all night on the first day of September. Get up and watch the mountains at the junction of Yunnan and Guizhou provinces and walk out of the gorge. [Bitong is at the foot of the mountain in the southwest of the canyon, and the red Banqiao is on the mountain in the north, which belongs to the boundary of Guizhou Province. I left Guizhou Province and entered Yunnan Province, where I slept peacefully all night. While he was cooking in the fireplace, the host said, "It's 20 miles away from the Huangni River. Once the river rises, the boat can't cross it. You must wait for a while. " As the east bank of Huangni River is uninhabited, people who arrive at the river first have to return here to wait.

Seeing that the rain didn't stop, I was afraid to walk back and forth, so I cleaned a small place in the humble hut, wiped the boards and sat down as a small table. When it is cold, I burn wet firewood near the fire pit with Yi women. In this thatched cottage, horses are kept in the east half and the owner's bed is in the west half. There is a fire pit buried in front of the bed, which is used to barbecue wet firewood. To the north of the fire pit is the place where I put my small table, which is separated from the master's bed by a fire pit. Sleep in a thatched cottage at night and sit at a small table by the fireplace during the day. Sometimes the rain stops, but the eaves are low and the door is muddy, so you can't see the mountains clearly when you look up.

It still rained all night on the second day of the Lunar New Year. The host said: "Today, the river has risen even higher, and ships are even more sad about the river. Tomorrow is Jiezi, which is called "Chang" in Guizhou, "Jiezi" in Yunnan and "Market" in Guangxi. There are so many people waiting for the ferry to cross the river that the ferry has to cross the river. I will go with you then. " I have no choice but to listen to it again. Sitting in a house like yesterday, cooking porridge on the fire, three meals a day, a dry stomach can be nourished. At noon that day, the rain gradually stopped.

Suddenly I heard shouts from the mountains in the west. All the men, women and children in the stockade responded loudly to the shouts in the distance and rushed over. I didn't know it was the jackal who came to drag the sheep until I asked. Fortunately, it was rescued in time, but the sheep was injured, but not dead. At noon in broad daylight, there are wild animals on the road. I walked in the overgrown place all night, but fortunately I was not afraid. How can I forget the blessings of the gods and the earth?

Suddenly, I found a cave, the entrance of which faces east, and it is located on layers of cliffs. I lifted my head and climbed up. The top of the cliff is very steep. After climbing half a mile, the earth cliff was too steep to rest, so I grabbed the grass roots and climbed up. After a while, the grass roots couldn't help me, but fortunately I came to the cliff area; But the stone is not strong, so it will fall when you step on it, and it will fall when you scratch it. Occasionally, I can find a slightly solid stone, and when my feet are tight, my fingers are caught, just like laying it flat on a cliff, I can't move a step. I want to go up without help, and there is nowhere to go down. This is the most dangerous situation I have ever experienced in my life.

After a long time, I first tried to find a solid stone around my hands and feet, then I moved a hand in the air, and then I moved a foot in the air. After firmly grasping one hand and one foot, I moved the other hand and the other foot in the air. Fortunately, the stone didn't fall. My hands and feet felt weak and fell for a long time, but fortunately I got up.

Yunnan, now Yunnan Province, has a lake and Dianchi Lake, so it is called "Yunnan". Travels of Yunnan is the most written work, which covers a wide range of scenic figures and folk customs in Yunnan, and has a detailed investigation. It is an important material for studying Yunnan's tourism resources and folk culture today.

Travel Notes of Yunnan is the most abundant part of Xu Xiake's works, which describes the scenery, mountains, rivers, specialties and folk customs of Yunnan in the most detailed way. Travel notes can be divided into several parts: Dianchi Lake, Bijiashan, Yandong and Panjiang are the key points in the east and southeast, and there is also a special article on Panjiang exam. In the middle of China, Dianchi Lake is still the axis of its water system mountains. The west and northwest are centered on Erhai Lake, Diancang Mountain and Jizu Mountain, and extend to Lijiang and Jiefang Forest in the northwest.

After the travel notes, there are Notes on Jishan and Notes on Jishan I and II, which list and explain the landscapes of Jishan one by one, all of which are well written. Later, there were two articles: A Brief Introduction to Lijiang and The Origin of the French King.

Finally, it is particularly worth mentioning "Tracing the River to Jiyuan". After careful investigation and bold speculation, Xu Xiake mainly analyzed the origin and basin situation of the two largest rivers in China, the Yangtze River and the Yellow River. At the same time, its water system has also been investigated and explained in detail, which has clarified all kinds of misunderstandings and rumors before, and has quite high scientific value.
