The Qi and Yellow rivers formed the boundaries of Yanzhou.
The nine branches of the Yellow river followed their courses,
and Lei Xia was a marsh,
in which the Yong and Ju streams were united.
The mulberry region was supplied with silkworms,
and then the people came down from the heights and occupied it.
The soil of the province was black loam, its herbage luxuriant, and trees tall.
Its fields were the lowest of the middle class.
Its contribution of revenue was fixed at what would just be deemed the correct amount, and after it had been worked for 13 years it was assimilated to the other provinces.
Its tribute consisted of varnish and silk,
and woven ornamental fabrics in baskets.
You float along the Qi and Ta
and so reach the Yellow river.
