22、the reign of Taiyuan of the Jin Dynasty, there was a man from Wuling who was a fisherman by trade. One day he was fishing from his boat in a stream, heedless of how far he had gone, when he suddenly came upon a forest of peach trees. On either bank for several hundred yards there were no other kinds
23、 of trees. The fragrant grass was beautiful to look at, all patterned with fallen blossoms. The fisherman was extremely surprised and went on further, determined to get to the end of this wood. He found the source of the stream and the foot of a cliff at the end of the wood, where there was a small
24、cave in which there seemed to be a faint light. He left his boat and went in through the mouth of the cave. At first it was very narrow, only wide enough for a man, but after forty or fifty yards he suddenly found himself in the open. The place he had come to was level and spacious. There were house
25、s and cottages arranged in a planned order; there were fine fields and beautiful pools; there were mulberry trees, bamboo groves, and many other kinds of trees as well. There were raised pathways around the fields; and he heard fowls crowing and dogs barking. Going to and fro in all this, and busied
26、 in working and planting, were people, both men and women. Their dress was not unlike that of people outside, and all of them, whether old people with white hair or children with their hair tied in a knot, were happy and content with themselves. Seeing the fisherman, they were amazed and asked him w
27、here he had come from. He answered all their questions, and then they invited him to their homes, where they put wine before him, killed chickens and prepared food in his honour. When the other people in the village heard about the visitor, they too all came to ask questions. They told him that thei
28、r ancestors had escaped from the wars and confusion in the time of the Qin Dynasty. Bringing their wives and children, all the people of their area had reached this isolated place, and had stayed ever since. Thus they had lost all contact with the outside world. They asked what dynasty it was now. T
29、hey had never heard of the Han, let alone the Wei and the Jin. Point by point the fisherman explained all he could of the world that he knew, and they all sighed in deep sorrow. Afterwards all the rest invited him to their homes, and all feasted him with wine and food. He stayed there several days a
30、nd then bade them goodbye; before he departed these people said to him, “Never speak to anyone outside about this!” So, he went out, found his boat and went back by the same route as he had come, leaving marks all along the way. When he got to the provincial town he called on the prefect and told hi
31、m all about his experience. The prefect at once sent men to go with him and follow the marks he had left, but they became completely confused over the marks and never found the place. Liu Ziji, a scholar of high reputation from Nanyang, heard of this and enthusiastically offered to go out with the f
32、isherman to try again, but he fell ill and died before realising his plan. After that, no one went to look for the way again.Xidongting Wetland Public date： 2010-07-05Xidongting Wetland is located in the eastern part of Hanshou County, Hunan Province.
