Idioms and allusions

Gou Jian thought of the shame of Kuaiji and wanted to establish his city in Kuaiji. He moved his capital here to guard himself. He appointed Fan Li to do his work. Li Nai observed the astronomy, observed the geography, planned and built the new city, and included the mountain in it. In the northwest, the flying wing tower is located in Wolong mountain, which is like Tianmen; in the southeast, it is like Dihu. Around Waiguo, there is only a lack of Northwest China. It is said that "I have submitted to Wu and dare not obstruct the way of contribution", which is actually a way to forge ahead.

When the city was built, suddenly a mountain sprang up in the city. For several miles around, it looked like a turtle. It was born with luxuriant vegetation. Some people recognized this mountain as Dongwu mountain in Langya. Somehow, it came overnight. Fan Li wrote: "the construction of a city by a minister should be based on the heavenly phenomena. Therefore, the heaven came down to Kunlun to open up the kingdom of Yue." The great joy of the king of Yue was named Qishan, which was called Queshan, Feilai mountain and Guishan mountain. On the top of the mountain, a spirit platform was set up and a three story building was built to look at the spirit objects. Gou Jian moved from Zhuji and lived there. He said to Fan Li, "if you are a slave, you will lose your country and your family. If you are not sponsored by the prime minister and other officials, how can you be today?". I hope the king will never forget the sufferings of the stone chamber. Then the state of Yue will prosper and Wu's revenge will be rewarded. " Gou Jian said, "respect and be taught!" Therefore, he ruled the country by literary style, the army by Fan Li, the virtuous and courteous people, the old and the poor, and the people were very happy.
