Features: Wu Zixu crosses the river and speaks one round. Wu Zixu attends the meeting in Lintong, with white teeth counted clearly. At the Treasure Contest Platform, he reveals his fame. His eyebrows grow in an eight-character style, capturing the Leipibao at the mountain. Complemented by two autumn waves. Whipping Liu Zhanshao behind the hill. His nose resembles a suspended gourd flower. At the platform, lifting the tripod, the kings fear. Like a jade hairpin hanging in the air. A sword hilt like a tree. Ten fingers sharp like spring bamboo. In the literary team, his articles are excellent. The rings on his hands are shaped like peony flowers. The martial team's young hero is Yu Ying. With fair and tender wrists, he once wore the Mingfu Seal. His willow-like waist is slender and light. When fate turns, he carries the prince across the East River. His upper garment is a bright red robe. Wu Zixu rides forward. The water lily skirt is tied at the waist. A sand river blocks the path. The trouser legs are adorned with snake-skin patterns. The hero on horseback speaks well. With small golden lotuses stepping anew. This matter is somewhat unresolved. The narrow embroidered shoes are just three inches long. The sand river blocks the way ahead. Tied with chrysanthemum jade beauty. The Ruyan bandits pursue fiercely behind. Wu Zixu sees the washing woman, in a dilemma, points his spear and shouts. Looking up suddenly, he sees a beautiful woman standing by the river. "Which side has deeper water, flowing slowly?" She wears a red top and white skirt. "Which side has shallower water to cross the East River?" Her body is adorned with names of grass flowers. The washing woman is fetching water by the river. Suddenly, she hears someone calling. Tied with a cotton red rope. The washing woman turns and looks back. Her hair is styled with osmanthus oil, smooth and bright. She observes the hero on horseback. Earrings like fragrant bells. She sees him, man and horse alike, with a lotus face and cherry mouth, like snow and silver. Seeing him as a loyal general, "You are a young girl who has not left the house. How do you know the fortune and misfortune by the river?" She wears a peony flower silver helmet, with pearl flowers rolling on the white tassel. "If you tell the truth, I will spare you. If you lie, you will go to the underworld." She wears a white lotus silver armor, with stars of white jade around. She calls the suspicious general a few times. "Twist the flower silk tightly, my father is a fisherman, my brother rows the boat by the river. I often bring food to the little slave. The Feihuai peak is covered with green for ten thousand years. Therefore, I know the fortune and misfortune by the river." She wears a jade belt and a jasmine waistband. Wu Zixu hears this, calls the girl a few times. "A grass flower pot is densely filled with pine needles. The bandits are chasing behind. A gardenia whip is crossed on the saddle. I will not speak of crossing the East River. If I say I cross the river, I will leave a bad name for ten thousand years. A cypress flower is tied to the horse's tail. If I die, Wu Zixu will be like grass. A mangrove sword is placed in the scabbard. A three-year-old young Chu dragon is pitied. A black chrysanthemum war boot is slanted with a sunflower stirrup. Wu Zixu rides across the river, holding a pear blossom war rod. He throws the beautiful woman by the river. Such a fine jade horse leaps and jumps. He calls his mother at home, with nine flowers on his horse's neck. He calls his mother a few times. He holds someone like his own son. People raise children to prevent old age. A dragon flashes above his head. Unlike you, hitting the water in a bamboo basket is in vain. The washing woman sees the general, the bandits are chasing behind. She calls the general respectfully. "How can I respond with small shoes and socks?" The upper water is deep and slow, the lower water is shallow to cross the East River. If I say the general crosses the river, I will leave a bad name for ten thousand years. Wu Zixu hears this, if he does not say the general crosses the river, he points his spear and asks. "Bandits here, how can they be spared?" "No matter, fame is in people, not in things. The main hall has a three-drop water, but someone without fame is always empty. The rear hall has a nest wind. Cover the water lily skirt with a lotus face, no other statues, only a three-year-old young dragon. The chili flower falls like golden lotus petals into the river. On the left, the washing woman is sculpted, Wu Zixu looks back on horseback, on the right, the old dragon. The beautiful woman is not seen by the river. Below, Wu Zixu is sculpted, willing to serve tea and water as a slave. He knows the woman has a secret. The big boat asks for sacrifices, the small boat asks for sacrifices. The pig and sheep sacrifices are not enough. Wu Zixu praises in secret, "Let the boat rise in the middle of the river and blow fiercely." Such a virtuous flower. Wu Zixu honors the washing woman, "My family also has a virtuous woman, but she cannot compare to this woman's loyalty and righteousness." Here ends this small section. The young master returns to the capital and ascends the throne. This is Wu Zixu crossing the river with the flower names. A good general hangs the lonely soul of the washing girl. (Original from Fengtian Dongdu Stone Printing Bureau) Build a Jiang Shen Temple by the river, Wu Zixu comes to sculpt the deity.
