Translation of butterfly spring's Classical Chinese.

Butterfly spring was written by Xu Xiake in Ming Dynasty, and its translation is as follows:

Two miles to the south, after the south of the second canyon, there is a village on the right side of the road called Boluo Village. There is a strange thing in butterfly spring at the foot of the Western Hills. I've heard about it for a long time. When I arrived here, some locals instructed me to go to Santasi to get my luggage, to the rest temple in Hechao, and I ran down the mountain from the south of the village.

After walking half a mile, I saw a flowing clear spring, walked up and west along it for half a mile, and reached the foot of the mountain. There are folded trees standing on the cliff, and there are springs below, which flow out from the trunk of the east and are clear enough to look in the mirror. A little further east, there is a small tree and a mountain spring below, which is also scouring the trunk. Two eye springs merged into a swamp about ten feet in Fiona Fang, and immediately went upstream.

The big tree in spring blooms like a butterfly in early April, and its tentacles and wings are lifelike. At the same time, there are thousands of real butterflies, whose tentacles are connected with their feet, hanging upside down on the treetops and strung on the surface of the spring. All kinds of colors look good. Tourists all come from this month (April) to see such a different scene, and they won't see it after May.

I am in Sanlicheng, western Guangdong. Lu told me this strange thing. The flowers here didn't bloom because it was still early. Ask the locals, some people say that butterflies come from flowers, while others say that butterflies are attracted because flowers are similar to butterflies. I don't know who is right.

Original text:

South Erli, south of Erxia, there is a village on the right side of the avenue called Boluo Village. There is a difference in butterfly spring at the foot of its western hills. I have long heard that it was not until the natives pointed to the west that the servant Xiong first went to Santasi and went to the monk's house where He Chao lived, while Du Yu ran out from the southwest of the village and looked at the foot of the mountain. At the foot of the mountain, there are trees embracing each other, standing on the cliff, and there is a spring under it, which flows eastward from the roots and is crystal clear.

Further east, there is a small tree and a Koizumi, which were also uprooted. Er Quan merged into the abbot swamp and flowed back to the top of the mountain. There are big trees in spring, and when flowers bloom like butterflies in early April, there must be wings, just like butterflies; There are thousands of real butterflies, which must be hooked, hanging from the top of the tree and hanging on the surface of the spring, colorful and colorful. Tourists will watch in groups from this month until May.

I'm in Sanlicheng, west Guangdong, and it's different from land, so it's too early to spend it now. Ask the natives, or say that the butterfly has changed into a flower, or that the flower is similar in shape, so it comes from a class, which is unknown.

Extended data:

Butterfly spring is selected from Xu Xiake's Travels. In the first paragraph, there is a clear spring under the acacia tree, standing on the cliff, and there is a spring eye under it, which is clear and can be learned. There is a vigorous old acacia tree standing high on the edge of the cliff. There is a clear spring under the tree, which is as clear as a mirror.

In the second paragraph, flowers are the first to be strange. "In early April, a flower, like a butterfly in a gorge, must have wings, just like a butterfly." This big tree blooms in April of the lunar calendar every year. Flowers are shaped like butterflies, and their tentacles and wings are lifelike, just like real butterflies.

He also wrote the beauty of butterflies, "There are thousands of real butterflies, and there must be hooks, hanging upside down on the tree, on the surface of the spring, colorful." Those real butterflies cross each other and hang upside down on the butterfly tree by the spring, forming countless butterfly strings hanging directly on the water, which are colorful.

He also wrote that there are many tourists. "All tourists start to watch this month and end in May." At this time, tourists come to watch in droves until May of the lunar calendar.
