Books with Zhu Yuansi
The wind and smoke are all pure, the Tianshan Mountains are beautiful. Drifting in the current, anything. From Fuyang to Tonglu, a hundred miles or so, there are strange mountains and rivers, unique in the world.
The water is all pale blue, and the bottom is thousands of feet deep. There are fish and rocks swimming around, which are unobstructed even if you look directly at them. The rapids are like arrows, and the waves are as fierce as running.
On the high mountains between the banks, there are all cold trees, competing with each other, competing for heights, thousands of peaks. The spring water stirs the rocks, making a cool sound; the good birds sing to each other, and their chirping becomes a rhyme. The cicada spins endlessly, while the ape cries endlessly. Those who fly violently to the sky look at the peaks and calm their minds; those who are economical in world affairs look into the valleys and forget to rebel. The top of the horizontal keel is covered, and it is still dim during the day; the sparse strips overlap, and sometimes the sun can be seen.

About the author
Wu Jun (469-520) was a Liang writer and historian in the Southern Dynasties. The courtesy name is Shuxiang. A native of Wuxing Guzhang (now Anji County, Zhejiang Province). He was studious and talented, and his poetry was highly praised by Shen Yue. At the beginning of the Tianjian reign of Emperor Wu of Liang Dynasty, he was the governor of the county. In the sixth year of Tianjian (507), he was introduced as the record office by King Xiaowei of Jian'an. Later, he was appointed as an imperial minister. He was dismissed from office because he offended Emperor Wu of Liang by writing "Qi Chunqiu" privately. Soon after he was ordered to write "General History", he died before the book was completed. People call his writing style "Wu Jun style".
Wu Jun is a historian. He is the author of thirty volumes of "Qi Chunqiu", ten volumes of "Temple Records", sixteen volumes of "Twelve States", five volumes of "Biography of the Sages of Qiantang", and annotations Fan Ye's "Book of the Later Han" and other ninety volumes are unfortunately lost. He is a famous litterateur with "twenty volumes of collected works". "Sui Shu·Jing Ji Zhi" records four volumes: "Liang Fengchao requested twenty volumes of "Wu Jun Ji"." "Old Tang Shu·Jing Ji Zhi" and "New Tang Shu·Yi Wen Zhi" both recorded twenty volumes. "History of the Song Dynasty·Yiwenzhi" records: "Three volumes of "Collected Poems of Wu Jun"." It can be seen that most of his collected works were lost during the Song Dynasty. The collections of the Ming Dynasty include:
Wu Jun was good at writing letters in parallel prose. There are now three chapters: "Books with Shi Zhi Jing Shu", "Books with Zhu Yuan Si", and "Books with Gu Zhang", all of which are good at describing scenes. For example, "The cliffs are dry and the sky is dry, and the solitary peaks reach the Han Dynasty. There are hundreds of green peaks, and thousands of green rivers turn around."
"Sui Shu·Jing Ji Zhi" records 20 volumes of "Wu Jun Collection", which has been lost. Zhang Pu of the Ming Dynasty compiled "Wu Chao Qing Ji" and included it in "Han, Wei and Six Dynasties Collection of One Hundred and Three Families".
