I have just drunk the waters of ChangshaAnd come to eat the fish of Wuchang.Now I am swimming across the great Yangtze,Looking afar to the open sky of Chu.Let the wind blow and waves beat,Better far than idly strolling in courtyard.Today I am at ease.It was by a stream that the Master said "Thus do things flow away!"
Sails move with the wind.Tortoise and Snake are still.Great plans are afoot:Turning a deep chasm into a thoroughfare;
The mountain goddess if she is still thereWill marvel at a world so changed.A bridge will fly to span the north and south,Walls of stones will stand upstream to the westTo hold back Wushan's clouds and rainTill a smooth lake rises in the narrow gorges Mao Zedong wrote a poem in which he dreamed of
“walls of stone to hold back clouds and rain till a smooth lake rises in the narrow gorges.”毛泽东更立西江石壁
