Yugong's note: "The sun is shining in the south of the mountain." How did the word "crossing the ocean" appear in Yan Yanzhi's poems? Because 90 miles north of Pingjiang County, Guyue Prefecture, there is a Tian Yue, also known as Mufu Mountain, which is "extremely steep and the peak can reach the sky".

"Jisheng" contains: "Mufu is also called Tian Yue." Tian Yue, formerly known as Huanshan, is also known as Leitai, Leigong and Tianzhu.

/kloc-after 0/05, in the second year of Liang Wudi Datong (528), Yueyang County and Yueyang County were established in Lancun Village, Changle City, Miluo City. The county seat and its jurisdiction are located in Shan Zhinan, Tian Yue, and they are truly "Yueyang", but they have only existed for more than 60 years. In the ninth year of Emperor Kai of Sui Dynasty, Yueyang County was revoked and merged into Yuzhou. In the eleventh year (59 1), Yuzhou merged with Bazhou, which was restructured from Baling County, and was called "Yuezhou", which ruled the old town of Baling County. In this way, the word "Yue" moved south to Baling. Coupled with the influence of Yan Yanzhi's poems, Yueyang, as a common place name, also spread in the old town of Baling.

During the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, it was said that "Yueyang" was another name for Baling, which was used in poetry, such as "Yueyang Zao Ji Nan Lou". In the second year of Gan Yuan in Tang, Su and Song Dynasties (759), Li Bai began to use the common place name "Yueyang" as the name of Baling Building in "The Yueyang Tower in Twelve Summers", which was repeatedly sung by Jia Zhi and Du Fu and has been passed down to this day.

The win of Yueyang's name is undoubtedly the victory of Yueyang Tower culture. In the Qing Dynasty, the county magistrate Wang of Yueyang County, Shaanxi Province built Yueyang Tower on the basis of his gatehouse. On the day of completion, someone raised an objection: "It is inappropriate to have the same name as Yueyang Building in Baling County, Hunan Province." Wang argued: "According to the epitaph,' Taiyuan was the capital, and Yueyang was named after it, and Baling Yueyang was especially close to the Tang and Song Dynasties. I don't know which is ancient, which is present, which is right and which is wrong. "Later, he also find someone to write" Yueyang Tower ". Although his words are well-founded, he left the environment of the Yangtze River, Dongting Lake and Junshan. Without the generosity of Du Fu, Meng Haoran and Fan Zhongyan, how could he win!
