The original text of Liu Yan's "Beauty by the Bright Lake":

Wang Xiaoyu then opened his lips, raised his teeth, and sang a few words of book. The sound was not very loud at first, but I only felt that there was an indescribable wonderful state in the ears: in the internal organs, like irons, there was no place that was not posted; thirty-six thousand pores, like eating ginseng fruit, none of the pores were not happy. After singing more than a dozen sentences, gradually singing higher and higher, suddenly pulling out a sharp point, like a wire thrown into the sky, can't help but secretly scream. He knew that he was in that very high place, and he could still turn around. After a few sighs, it was one more level higher, and there were three or four stacks in succession, and they rose up one after another. It is like the scene of climbing Mount Tai from the west of Ao Lai Peak: At first glance, I saw that Ao Lai Peak cut the wall of Qianling, thinking that it was connected with the sky; and until I turned to the top of Ao Lai Peak, I saw that Fan Zi Cliff was more on Ao Lai Peak; and when I turned over to Fan Zi Cliff, I saw that the South Heavenly Gate was more on Fan Zi Cliff: the more dangerous it was, the more dangerous it was.

After Wang Xiaoyu sang to the extremely high three or four folds, he fell abruptly, and then tried his best to forge his spirit of a thousand twists and turns, like a flying snake circling and interspersing in the middle waist of the Thirty-six Peaks of Huangshan Mountain, and in an instant, Zhou Za was several times. From then on, the lower the singing, the lower and thinner, the voice gradually became inaudible. The people in the garden held their breath and did not dare to move less. For about two or three minutes, it was as if a little sound was coming from underground. After this one, it suddenly rose again, like the oriental fireworks, a marble went up to the sky, and then turned into a thousand five-colored fires, scattered vertically and horizontally. This sound flies, that is, there are infinite sounds coming and going. The stringer also used all the wheel fingers, suddenly big and small, in harmony with his voice, like the spring dawn of the flower dock, and the good birds were singing. The ears are too busy to know what to do to hear that sound. When he was stirring up trouble, he overheard Huo Ran's voice, and everyone was silent. At this time, the applause of the audience roared.

The bold text above is described, Wang Xiaoyu said.
