记九溪十八涧 林纾

过龙井山数里，溪色澄然迎面，九溪之北流也。溪发源于杨梅坞。余之溯溪，则自龙井始。
溪流道万山中，山不峭而堑, 踵趾错互，苍碧莫辨途径。沿溪取道，东瞥西匿，前若有阻而旋得路。水之未入溪号皆曰涧。涧以十八，数倍于九也。
余遇涧即止。过涧之水，必有大石亘其流。水石冲激，蒲藻交舞。溪身广四五尺，浅者沮洳，由草中行；其稍深者，虽状渟蓄犹见沙石。
其山多茶树，多枫叶，多松。过小石桥，向安理寺路，石犹诡异。春箨始解，攒动岩顶，如老人?发怪石折叠，隐起山腹，若橱，若几，若函书。即林表望之，蓊然带云气。杜鹃作花，点缀山路；岩日翳吐。出山已亭午矣。

Start blogging

Certainly, it is my first blog. The motivation for creating a blog when the trend of blogging is diminishing is that I'm starting jotting down my reflection about the world. Originally, I put it on facebook's notes but it is not a great application if you need more than text. So I got myself a better place, here. Reflection not only for finance but the world and life. Also reflection of my thoughts and nature.
