Dear tourists, the bamboo sea in southern Sichuan was originally namedwanlingqing. It is said that Huang Tingjian, a famous poet of the Northern SongDynasty, once came here for a visit. Seeing the green bamboo like a sea, hecould not help but exclaim: "magnificent, the bamboo wave is thousands of miles,the ears of Emei sisters!" when the local villagers toasted him and asked him toinscribe, Huang Tingjian pushed open the wine bowl and said: "the beauty makesme drunk!" he immediately wrote "wanlingguan" on a huge stone with a brush, sothe bamboo sea is also called wanlingqing. After Huang Tingjian finishedwriting, he washed the brush in the stream, and the stream turned blackimmediately. Later generations called this stream Mo stream.
As a matter of fact, the real reason for the formation of Moxi is that thebamboo sea and bamboo valley are deep, and the clear water flows long. The rocksurface under the bed of the stream is covered with black gray lichens, whichlooks black.
On the lintel of the gate tower of Moxi, there is the word "Moxi" left byHuang Tingjian, a Taoist in the valley. There is a couplet on the doorpost,which reads: "a man without bamboo in his eyes is not a gentleman, and a manwithout sea in his heart." Walking into the gate tower, walking up the zigzagstone road, sometimes walking into the green bamboo forest, sometimes crossingthe bamboo path and bridge, sometimes walking in the dense bamboo forest, thereis an endless poetic flavor.
