In the Jin Dynasty, the Wuling people fished for their business. Walk around the river, forget the distance of the road. Suddenly, the peach blossom forest, hundreds of steps between the shore, there are no miscellaneous trees in it, the fragrant grass is delicious, the fallen flowers are colorful, and the fishermen are very different. Moving forward again, I want to exhaust the forest.

When the forest runs out of water, there will be a mountain, and the mountain has a small mouth, as if there is light. Drop off the boat and enter from the mouth. At the beginning, it is extremely narrow, and only then can it be passed. After dozens of steps, it suddenly became clear. The land is flat, the houses are like that, and there are good fields and beautiful ponds and mulberry bamboos. Qianmo traffic, chickens and dogs smell each other. Among them, the men and women are dressed like outsiders. Yellow hair hangs down and is happy.

When he saw the fisherman, he was shocked and asked where he had come from. Answered. Then he had to return home, and set up wine to kill chickens for food. When the village heard about this person, Xian came to inquire. Since Yun Xianshi avoided the chaos of the Qin Dynasty, he led his wife and people to this desperate situation, and did not come back, so he was separated from outsiders. Ask what the world is today, but I don't know if there is a Han, regardless of Wei and Jin. This person sighed for what he had said and heard. The rest of the people returned to their homes, and they all drank and ate. Stop for a few days and resign. The Chinese said: "It is not enough for outsiders." ”

Once he went out and got his boat, he helped him to the road, and he was determined everywhere. And the county, Yi Taishou, said so. Taishou immediately sent people to follow him, looking for what he wanted, and then he got lost and lost his way.

Nanyang Liu Ziji, a noble scholar, heard it, and happily went to it. Unsuccessfully, the search for the disease ended, and then there was no concern.

During the Taiyuan period of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, there was a person in Wuling County who made a living from fishing. One day, he was sailing along the stream, forgetting the distance he had traveled. Suddenly, I encountered a peach blossom forest, growing on both sides of the stream, hundreds of steps long, there were no other trees in the middle, the flowers and plants were fresh and beautiful, and the fallen flowers were scattered on the ground. The fisherman was amazed by this and continued to walk to the end of the forest.

At the end of the peach grove is the source of the stream, and then a mountain appears, and there is a small hole in the mountain, and the hole seems to be a little light. So he got out of the boat and went in through the hole. At first, the hole was narrow enough for one person to pass through. After walking a few dozen steps, it suddenly became open and bright. A flat, wide land, neatly lined with houses. There are also fertile fields, beautiful ponds, mulberry and bamboo forests, and so on. The fields and paths are intertwined, and the crowing of chickens and dogs can be heard everywhere. People come and go in the fields to plow and work, and men and women are dressed exactly the same as people outside the Peach Blossom Garden. The elderly and children are all comfortable and happy.

The people of the village were very surprised to see the fisherman and asked him where he came from. The fisherman replied in detail. Some people in the village invited him to their homes. Set up wine and chickens to cook to entertain him. When the people in the village heard that such a person was coming, they all came to inquire about the news. They themselves say that their ancestors, in order to escape the war of the Qin period, led their wives, children, and neighbors to this isolated place, and never went out again, so they cut off contact with outsiders. They asked the fishermen what dynasty it was, and they didn't even know that there had been a Han dynasty, let alone the Wei and Jin dynasties. The fisherman told them everything he knew, and when they had heard it, they all sighed with regret. The rest of the men invited the fisherman to his house, and they all brought him wine and food to entertain him. The fisherman stayed for a few days and said goodbye to the villagers and left. The people of the village said to him, "Our place is not worth telling outsiders!" ”

When the fisherman came out, he found his boat, and went back along the old way, marking everywhere. When I arrived at the county seat, I went to Taishou and reported this experience. Taishou immediately sent someone to follow him, looking for the marks he had made before, but he finally lost his way and could no longer find his way to the Peach Blossom Spring.
