Having noticed that there seemed to be a weak light in the cave, he tied up his boat and decided to go in and explore. At first

He saw before his eyes a wide, level valley, with houses and fields and farms. There were bamboos and mulberries; farmers were working and dogs and chickens were running abo

They had not even heard of the Han Dynasty (two centuries before to two centuries after Christ), not to speak of the Wei (third century A.D.) and the Chin (third and fourth centuries). The fisherman

17、told them, which they heard with great amazement. Many of the other villagers then began to invite him to their homes by turn and feed him dinner and wine. After a few days, he took leave of them and left. The villagers begged him not to tell the people outside about their colony.The man found his b

They told him that their ancestors had fled the disorders of Ch'in times and, having taken refugee here with their wives and children and neighbours, had never ventured out again.
