In the spring of Li Qing's fourth year, Teng was demoted as the prefect of Yuezhou. In the second year, government affairs were smooth, people were happy, and various waste businesses were established. So the Yueyang Tower was rebuilt, and the original scale was expanded, and the poems of celebrities and modern people in the Tang Dynasty were engraved on it. I was asked to write an article about it.

I think all the beautiful scenery in Baling County is on Dongting Lake. Dongting Lake embraces distant mountains and breathes the flowing water of the Yangtze River. Vast and boundless. In the morning, the lake is sunny, and in the evening, the sky is dark and the scenery is endless. This is a magnificent sight of Yueyang Tower. Previous descriptions of these scenes have been very detailed. Even so, it led to Wuxia in the north, Xiaoshui and Xiangjiang in the south. Most of the people who are relegated and far-tuned, as well as poets who write poems and write poems, gather here and look at the natural scenery here, which will probably lead to different feelings.

Like a continuous drizzle, when it doesn't clear up for a month, the cold wind howls and the turbid waves rush to the sky; The sun, the moon and the stars cover the light, and the mountains disappear; Businessmen and passengers couldn't get through, the mast fell and the paddle was broken; At night, it was dark, only the roar of tigers and the miserable cry of apes could be heard. When you board this building at this time, you will feel that you have been demoted, left Beijing, missed your hometown, worried that others will speak ill of you, and afraid of being ridiculed by others. When you look up, it is full of depression and cold, and you will feel deeply and feel sad.

As for the spring breeze and sunny days, the lake is calm, the sky is connected with the lake light, and the green is boundless; Bai Ou on the sandbar, sometimes flying and sometimes stopping, beautiful fish floating or sinking; The grass on the shore and the orchids on the continent are rich in fragrance and green in color.

Sometimes the clouds on the lake are all gone, and the bright moon falls thousands of miles. Sometimes the microwave ripples on the lake, and the floating moonlight shines golden. Sometimes the lake is calm and the quiet moon image sinks into the emerald in the water. Fishing songs ring, echoing each other, and it's fun! When you board this building at this time, you will feel open-minded, cheerful, glorious and humiliating, and forget it together. You will eventually drink your glass in the breeze and you will feel really happy.

Alas! I have explored the thoughts and feelings of ancient virtuous people. It may be different from the above two moods. What is the reason? It is because in ancient times, people with high moral character would not be unhappy because of the quality of foreign objects and their own gains and losses. Be an official in the court and worry about the people; I'm not an official in the imperial court, but I'm in a remote Jianghu, worrying about you.

In this way, they are also worried about entering the DPRK as an official and retiring from the rivers and lakes. Even so, when will they be happy? So we must say "be sad before the world is sad, and be happy after the world is happy"? Alas! Without this person, who would I go with?

Extended data:

This article was written in Li Qing for six years (1046). Fan Zhongyan lived in the era of internal troubles and foreign invasion in the Northern Song Dynasty, and the internal class contradictions became increasingly prominent, eyeing the foreign Khitan and Xixia. In order to consolidate the political power and improve this situation, the political group headed by Fan Zhongyan began to carry out reforms, which was later called the "Qingli New Deal".

However, the reform violated the interests of the feudal big landlord class conservatives and was strongly opposed by them. The emperor's determination to reform was not firm. Under the oppression of the conservative bureaucratic group headed by Queen Ether, the reform ended in failure. After the failure of the "Qingli New Deal", Fan Zhongyan offended the Prime Minister Lv Yijian, and Fan Zhongyan was relegated to Dengzhou, Henan. This article is about Dengzhou, not Yueyang Tower.

According to the custom of Song people, I don't have to write articles and essays like "Ji" in that place. I mainly use this kind of articles to record things, write about scenery, remember people, and express my feelings or opinions through scenery. In ancient times, people were usually invited to take notes with samples of things they recorded, that is, pictures or related documents, for the reference of note-takers.

Although Teng was demoted to Yuezhou, during his tenure, he made three achievements projects, hoping to get the understanding of the court. Rebuilding Yueyang Tower is one of them, which was completed in Li Qing for five years (1045). In order to improve the popularity of his performance project, Teng gave Fan Zhongyan a picture of Dongting in Late Autumn, and asked him to write two records, one is Yueyang Tower and the other is Hong Yan Diji.

The content described in The Story of Yueyang Tower can be found in real objects, but not in The Story of Hongyan Land. But in the story of Hong Yan levee, Fan Zhongyan also described the Hong Yan levee in detail, which is no less than Yueyang Tower. Therefore, a few scholars debated whether Fan Zhongyan had been to Yueyang Tower when he wrote The Story of Yueyang Tower.
