毛泽东 １９５６年游 长江 １９６３年毛主席详细听取 了关于三峡工作的汇报后为 三峡工程勾画了宏伟兰图。

水调歌头 游泳 （毛泽东） 1956 年 6 月 才饮长江水，又食武昌鱼。 万里长江横渡，极目楚天舒。 不管风吹浪打，胜似闲庭信步， 今日得宽余。 子在川上曰：逝者如斯夫！ 风樯动，龟蛇静，起宏图。 一桥飞架南北，天堑变通途。 更立西江石壁，截断巫山云雨， 高峡出平湖。 神女应无恙，当今世界殊。

Walls of stone to hold back clouds and rain till a smooth lake rises in the narrow gorges. 更立西江石壁，截断巫山云雨, 高峡出平湖
