岩层、支流与季风共同完成峡谷，江水至今仍在改变两岸的形状。

江水不是背景
三峡经常被描述成两岸山峰的集合，但真正连接这些景观的是持续运动的江水。它决定聚落位置、航道节奏，也影响人们如何讲述上游与下游。
从西陵峡到瞿塘峡，山体的尺度、岩层的方向和支流的入口不断改变。乘船并不是最快的移动方式，却最能保存这种连续性。
The river is not a backdrop
The Three Gorges are usually described as a collection of peaks on both banks, but what actually connects those landscapes is water in continuous motion. It decides where settlements sit, it sets the rhythm of the channel, and it shapes how people tell the story of upstream and downstream.
From Xiling Gorge to Qutang Gorge, the scale of the mountains, the direction of the strata and the mouths of the tributaries keep changing. The boat is not the fastest way to move, but it preserves that continuity best.
