临川之城东,有地隐然而高,以临于溪,曰新城。新城之上,有池洼然而方以长,曰王羲之之墨池者,荀伯子《临川记》云也。羲之尝慕张芝,临池学书,池水尽黑,此为其故迹,岂信然耶?方羲之之不可强以仕,而尝极东方,出沧海,以娱其意于山水之间,岂有徜徉肆恣,而又尝自休于此耶? In the east of Linchuan City, there are places that are hidden but high in order to reach the river and the new city. Above the new city, there are pools, but the squares are long, and the ink pools of the kings and grandmothers are the kings of the lake. When you admire Zhang Zhi, you learn from Zhang Chi, learn the book in pool, and use the water to make it dark. This is its legacy, and you can’t believe it. Fang Fangzhi can’t be strong, but tastes the East and out of the Bohai Sea to entertain its meaning between landscapes. Have you been jealous, but have you taken it here?
