巫山云雨 rain and cloud
over 巫mountain. Today, we know that the reservoir
of three gorges is the greatest Hydraulic
engineering in the world. Three 峡gorges
means瞿塘峡、巫峡、西陵峡. You may see
the middle one is巫峡, above this gorge was a mountain called巫mountain. During the time if war states (403-221 BC), there
was a story. The king of 楚 named 熊槐
once had a travel there, when he felt tired, he fell asleep. He dreamed a beautiful
girl came to see him. She said that she was the daughter of 巫mountain, she was love to share her pillow and mat with the
king. The king understood what she meant and had a good sleep with her. When he
left, the girl said, “If you want to see me again, I am living in the巫mountain, here in the morning is cloud and in the evening is
rain.”
Later
in Chinese literature they used this term as metaphor
of making love. A recent film using this term as name.
