When the Crown Prince of Chu was sick, a guest from Wu went to greet him and said, “I heard that the Crown Prince is not well, is he a little better?” The crown prince said, “Still very tired! Thank you for your concern.” Wu Hak took the opportunity to say, “Now the world is at peace, and the four directions are at peace. Prince is in the young and strong years, I think it is your long-term craving for comfort, day and night without restraint. Evil gas invasion of the body, in the body condensation blockage, so that the heart and mind disturbed, irritable sighs, bad mood like drunkenness. Often the heart jumps and sleeps uneasily. Weakness of the heart, loss of hearing, aversion to human voices. Mental laxity, as if all diseases were present. His ears and eyes are confused, and he is moody. If the disease persists for a long time, his life will be in danger. Does the Prince have such symptoms?” Prince Zhang Denghua of the Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Center of Inner Mongolia Medical University Hospital said, “Thank you. Relying on the power of the ruler of the country enables me to enjoy riches and wealth to the extent that I often get this disease, but not to such a point as you said.” Wu Ke said, “Now those rich and noble sons and daughters must live in the inner courtyard of the deep palace, with palace maids who take care of their daily life inside and masters in charge of education and counseling outside, and it is impossible for them to want to socialize with other people. Diet is warm and simple, sweet and crunchy food and fat meat and strong wine; wear is heavy layers of light, soft and soft, warm and thick clothes. In this way, even a solid substance like gold and stone will be dissolved and loosened, not to mention the human body, which is composed of sinews and bones! Therefore, to indulge in the desires of the ear and the eye, and to indulge in the ease of the limbs, is to jeopardize the harmony of the blood and the veins. In and out of all ride car, is the sign of paralysis; often live in deep houses, cool palace, is the medium of cold and heat stroke; covet female sex, indulge in lust, is the destruction of the life of the sharp axe; sweet food crunchy things, fat and strong wine, is the poison of the intestines rotting. Now the Prince’s skin is too delicate, limbs are not flexible, tendons and bones are loose, blood is not smooth, hands and feet are weak. In the front there is a beautiful woman from Yue, and in the back there is a beautiful woman from Qi, traveling to and fro, eating and drinking, and indulging in pleasures in the deep secret room. This is simply treating poison as a beautiful meal and playing with the claws and teeth of fierce beasts. The effects of such a life are already far-reaching, and if it is delayed for a longer period of time, how will it be too late for Bian Magpie to heal your body and Wu Xian to pray for you? Now, with a condition like the Prince’s, you need the gentlemen of the world, people who are well-informed and knowledgeable, to take advantage of the opportunity to talk to you about the outside world, in order to change your way of life and your moods. They should always be allowed to stay by your side and be your aides. Then where else can sunken pleasures, absurd minds, and indulgent desires come from!” The Prince said, “Good. When I have recovered from my illness, I will do as you say.” Wu Ke said, “Now that the Prince’s illness can be cured without the use of medicines, stones, needles, or moxibustion, and can be eliminated by pertinent speech and subtle reasoning, don’t you want to hear such words?” The Prince said, “I am willing to listen.” Wu Ke said, “The tung tree on Longmen Mountain is a hundred feet high without dividing its branches, and many coiled lines accumulate in its trunk, and its roots extend and expand in the soil in all directions. A thousand-foot peak above, a hundred-foot deep stream below; the turbulent counter-current shook and rocked it. Its roots are half dead and half alive. In winter the cold winds, snow beads, and flying snow attack it; in summer the lightning strikes it; in the morning the oriole chirps above it; in the evening the lost female, the lost bird, roosts above it. The lonely yellow swan cries on the tung tree in the early morning, and the {chickens fly and wail under the tree. In such an environment autumn and winter (through the years), let the qin-benefactor cut down the tung tree to make a qin. Make strings out of wild cocoon silk, decorate it with orphaned children’s belt hooks, and make the qin’s emblem out of the earrings of a widow who had raised nine children. Let Shidang play the zither song of ‘Chang’ and let Bo Ziya sing it. The lyrics of the song said: ‘When the wheat draws its ears and emerges from the awns the pheasant flies in the morning, flies to the hollow valley leaving the withered and engaged acacia tree, clings to the perilous place, and descends to the winding stream.’ When the birds hear the song, they can’t fly away with their wings restrained; when the beasts hear the song, they can’t walk with their ears hanging down; when the Tf, mayflies and ants hear the song, they can’t move forward with their mouths open. This is the most moving music under heaven. Can the Prince barely get up to listen to it?” The Prince said, “I am too sick to go and listen.” Wu Hak said, “Boil the fat of a calf’s belly and mix it with bamboo shoots and fragrant cattails. Season it with soup made from fat dog meat and spread it with stone ear vegetables. Make rice with rice from the Chumiao Mountains, or with Mushroom rice, which does not fall apart when rolled in one piece, but melts in the mouth. So let Yi Yin take charge of the cooking, and let Yi Ya harmonize the flavors. The bear’s paw was boiled to perfection and then peony sauce was used to flavor it. The meat from the spine of the beast was thinly sliced to make roast pork, and fresh carp was sliced into fish fillets. Accompanied by perilla that turns yellow in autumn, vegetables that have been moistened by autumn dew. Gargling with wine made from orchids. And food made from pheasant and domesticated leopard tires. Eat less and drink more congee. It’s like boiling water poured over snow. This is the best delicacy in the world, can the Crown Prince barely get up to savor it?” The Prince said, “I’m too sick to taste it.” Wu Ke said, “The male horses produced in the area of Zhong Dai are used to drive when they are of proper age; those that run in front are like flying birds, and those that run behind are like distance vain. Feed it with early-ripening wheat to make its temperament sharp. Put a strong bridle on it, and let it run on a level road. While this is going on let Bole observe it before and after, and let Wang Liang and Zuofu harness the horse, and Qin Jiu and Lou Ji be the right hand of the carriage. These two, when the horse is frightened, can subdue it, and when the wagon is overturned can hold it up. To go racing with such a carriage, one could bet a thousand taels that it could travel a thousand miles in a day. This is the best steed in the world. Can the Prince barely get up to ride it?” The Prince said, “I’m too sick to go ride it.” Wu Ke said, “Climbing up Jingyi Terrace, looking at Jing Mountain in the south and Ru Shui in the north, with the Yangtze River on the left and Dongting Lake on the right, this kind of pleasure of touring and viewing is absolutely unparalleled. At this time let the learned and eloquent scholar, the original examination of the mountains and rivers, exhaust the name of the grass and trees, metaphorical narrative, choose words and phrases, in order to connect the class. After roaming and exploring, a banquet was organized in Yu Huai Palace. The palace corridors are connected on all sides, overlapping platform city, deep green color, colorful scene. The lanes are intertwined and the moat is winding. The birds such as the privy seal, the egret, the hole bird, the A swan, the t-child, or the like, either have crown feathers of emerald green or neck feathers of purplish purple. The male and female birds have beautiful plumage and chirp beautifully. Fish jump in the water, raise their fins and wings, and vibrate their scales. The river is clear, g polygonum grows thickly, and lotus flowers are fragrant. The soft mulberry and willow trees along the river, either have single-colored leaves or purple branches. Miao pines and yucca trees, with branches reaching up to the sky. Sycamores and palms, as far as the eye can see, form a forest. The aroma of grasses and trees, mingling in the wind. Branches swaying, hidden or visible. Sitting in columns and indulging in wine, indulging the mind in entertainment. Let Jingchun persuade you to drink, and let Dulian play the music. The flavors are mixed, the food is intertwined and complete. Selection of beautiful colors to entertain the heart and eyes, the flow of beautiful songs to please the ear and heart. So sing the sharp tones of Exciting Chu, and play the melodious music of Zheng and Wei. The Prince said, “I am too sick to go and enjoy myself,” and he said, “I am too sick to go and enjoy myself,” and the Prince said, “I am too sick to go and enjoy myself. ” Wu Ke said, “I will tame the Ti steed for you, and drive a light hunting cart with open windows; you will sit on this horse-drawn cart, with strong arrows from Xia Hou’s pouch on your right side, and a patterned bow made of cudgel wood on your left side, and go to the forests of Yunmeng and gallop around the swamps where orchids grow, and then march slowly along the riverside. The wheels rolled over the green apples, and a slight breeze blew in their direction. I was intoxicated by the scent of spring, and my heart was full of spring fever. Then I steered my horse to chase the cunning beasts, and many arrows hit the agile birds. At this time the dogs and horses were at their best, the beasts were pursued with tired feet, the horsemen and drivers used all their wisdom and skill; the tigers and leopards were afraid, and the birds of prey were subdued. The galloping horses rang their neck bells, pranced like fish, jousted like elk, and their feet trampled on Mangyan Stick Yazhi6 filed roundabout to return to the coal-gu breakfasts and advised the rattlers to flatter the katamarans, Χ pining for the wood and dug up the section of the confederation to penalize them with a sympathetic carambola, fomenting neodymium Pan Lai’s sacs to pull out the shovels, Zhai Quiet Eris Zai Owa embracing a certain bottom seal of the U delicacy puts on the may be Zai Toucher Placeholder wood trekking Hydra pui acenaphthene exams Kok Kok Kwan Ci Bi plague moonlight harvesting the jun The crown prince said, “I’m sick and can’t go.” However, at this time the crown prince’s eyebrows showed a joyful color, and gradually expanded to cover almost the entire face. When Wu Hak saw that the Crown Prince had a happy look, he said further, “When the dark night went out to hunt, the fire lighted the sky, and the chariots of soldiers rolled like swift thunder. The flags were held high, decorated with bird feathers and cow tails in a neat and complicated manner. Horses and chariots were racing to and fro, and everyone aspired to be the first to get wild game. The fenced and burned field was so wide and broad that you could only see the edge of it from a distance. That which is hunted with a pure coat and a complete carapace, offer it up to the lords.” The Prince said, “Well said! I am willing to listen to you again.” Wu Ke said, “That is not all. Between the jungles and the deep swamps, the smoke and clouds were dark, and the wild oxen and tigers appeared together. The hunters were so tough and valiant that they stripped off their clothes, abandoned their vehicles, and fought the beasts themselves. The snow-white blades of their swords glistened, and their spears and halberds crisscrossed the landscape. At the end of the hunt, according to the amount of prey obtained to record the merits, rewarded with gold, silver and cloth. The green apples on the ground were flattened, and Duruo was spread out to hold a banquet for the hunting officials to celebrate their achievements. Thick wine, delicious fish and meat, cooked food, were used to entertain the honored guests. Everyone filled their cups and rose to make a toast, and the guests’ words of honor were beautiful to the ear. Words of faith and sincerity are unrepentant, and they are resolute in either agreeing or refusing to do anything. His expression of faith and sincerity was as if it had been engraved on gold and stone. The people sang and cheered loudly and did not get tired of it at all. This is exactly what the Prince loves, can you reluctantly get up and go for a tour?” The Crown Prince said, “I am very willing to go with all of you, but I am only afraid of becoming a burden to all the great physicians.” However, the Prince had the appearance of wanting to get up. Wu Hak said, “We are going on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, together with the lords and friends and brothers who have come from afar, to watch the waves in the Qu River at Guangling. When we first arrived, we had not yet seen the signs of the rising of the river waves, but we saw that wherever the force of the water reached, it was enough to make people terrified. When you see the condition of the back waves pushing the front waves, the situation of the waves lifting high, the scene of the waves turbulent and chaotic, the situation of the water gathering and turning back, the power of the water everywhere, even if there are people with a lot of heart and strategy, quick words, but also can not depict the formation of such a magnificent scene because of the waves. Both is so vast boundless ah, make a person difficult to distinguish; and is so surging ah, call a person’s heart scared; waves rolling and heaving ah, issued a bubbling noise. Sometimes confused, ah, dizzying; sometimes strange peaks, ah, how spectacular; that water is vast and deep, the river beyond the distant. Concentrate your attention from the South Mountain to the East China Sea, only to see the raging waves of the river, and the sky, think about it, please go to imagine where is the end of the water. Look at the endless river and return your mind to the place where the sun rises. The river waves flow rapidly downstream with the gurgling current, perhaps no one knows where it will flow to before it stops. Sometimes the many waves flowed in twists and turns, and then suddenly tangled up and stopped flowing back. The waves rushed to Zhu Bom and then flowed into the distance, making people feel weak and bored, and their spirits became even more tired. After observing the waves, one’s mind was scattered throughout the night, and it was not until dawn that one could collect one’s heart and keep one’s emotions steady. Then the chest was cleansed, the five viscera were washed, the hands and feet were washed cleaner, and the face, hair and teeth were washed whiter and brighter. The abandonment of ease and laziness, the elimination of dirt and filth, the discernment of confusion, and the clearing of the ears and eyes. Under such circumstances, even those who had been ill for a long time and were suffering from stubborn diseases would straighten their hunchbacks, lift up their lame feet, open their googly eyes, and open their deaf ears to see the grandeur of the river and the waves, not to mention those who were only suffering from a little boredom in their chests and who had eaten fat meat and strong wine! Therefore, the river and the waves are not worth mentioning for the enlightenment of fools and the lifting of confusion.” The Prince said, “Excellent. In that case, what kind of weather is Jiang Tao?” Wu Ke said, “This is not recorded. But I heard from my teacher that there are three characteristics that make Jiang Tao seem like a god but not a god: first, the sound of the waves is like rapid thunder, which can be heard for hundreds of miles; second, the river flows backwards, and the tide of seawater rises and pours upwards; and third, the valleys are gulping down clouds and air, which are constant day and night. The river is overflowing, the current is turbulent, the waves are raging. That the river waves began to appear when the mountain torrents cascade down, like egrets flying downward. Slightly further, the water is vast, white, like a white horse driving a vegetarian car, the car is set up with a car cover curtains, when the waves of the turbulent clouds rolled, chaotic look like the army to rise up to dress in formation forward. When the waves from both sides of the lift and roll up, floating like a general sitting on a light car to lead the army into battle. Driving the car were six augur dragons, following behind the river god. It also looks like a white rainbow running in a continuous stream. The tide was high and the waves followed each other, agitating each other, like the overlapping and strong barricades of an army camp; its chaos and confusion was like a military march with many people and horses. The waves roar and surge, and their momentum is unstoppable. Look at the sides of the bank, but also the water is raging, a sea, left and right, a moment of upward impact, a moment to fall down. Like a brave soldier, brave and fearless. Tide beat the shore wall, impact on the ferry, flow all over the bay, filled with water curves, across the embankment, out of the sand. If it touches it, it dies; if it blocks it, it destroys. The waves start from the water’s edge of the place or surrounded, hit the mountain and turn back, meet the river and valley and diversion, to the Qingmei whirlpool, through the Tanhuan like a warhorse with a silent gallop. Then it flowed gently over Mount Wuzi, and ran as far as the battlefield called Xumu. It went beyond the red shore, swept toward Fusang, and rushed straight ahead like a swift thunderbolt. The river waves did indeed develop its might, both as a demonstration and as a fury. Whistling and hissing, like ten thousand horses galloping. Rumble, like a drum to shake the sky. The water because of the obstruction and anger, clear wave because of each other beyond and rise. The big wave rises up and shakes, and fights in the pass through the pass. Birds can’t take off in time, fish can’t turn around in time, and beasts can’t hide in time. The water is vast and strong, and the waves surge like flying clouds. The waves of the river struck the southern mountains, and then turned around and crashed into the northern shore. Destroyed the hills, flattened the west bank. How dangerous how terrible ah, it broke the embankment, destroyed the pond, until after a decisive victory before giving up. Then the water surges and splashes. The arbitrary flooding has reached the extreme. Fish and turtles can not be autonomous, belly and back upside down and up and down, prostrate, connected. God in the water can be strange and suspicious, it is difficult to describe, simply called the people fell to the ground in shock, scared delirious, lost their souls. This is the world’s strange and rare spectacle, the prince can barely get up to view it?” The Prince said, “I am still sick and cannot go.” Wu Hak said, “Then I will recommend to the Prince the most gifted and wise among the learned and theoretical people, like Zhuang Zhou, Wei Mou, Yang Zhu, Mo Zhai, Ben, Zhan He and the like. Let them discuss the world’s deep and subtle reasoning, distinguish the right and wrong of everything, and then ask Confucius, Laozi and other characters to examine and comment, and ask Mencius and other characters to plan and calculate, so that 10,000 problems can’t be wrong one. This is the most important and subtle doctrine in the world, do you want to hear this?” Thereupon the Prince stood up, holding on to the table, and said, “Your words have really brought me to my senses, as if I had at once heard the discourses of the saintly debaters.” The crown prince broke out in a penetrating sweat, and suddenly his illness was allayed.
