Therefore, Fu Jian was transferred to Zhou. To the Qin dynasty, its land was listed in China, and it was first merged into Minzhong County. Since the end of Guangdong, and Wu, for its access. Its road is in Fujian, and the land is between two mountains. The mountains are uninterrupted, and the hills are flat. It is a small county and a big state, but it is also a mountain. Its path is either reversed like a cliff, or the cliff is like a hair, or the side diameter is hooked on an unexpected stream: all the rocks are steep and steep, so you can choose and take another step. Although the wearer is a local, he still has a side foot and can enter. If it is not native, it will be rare. Flowing in the stream, the water flows down from a height, and the stones are staggered, like a forest, like a gentleman riding a wild horse, thousands of miles up and down, without seeing the beginning and end. Water flows between its gaps, either contracting in balance or spraying sideways in the opposite direction. If it is a worm, if it is a sculpture, it will rotate like a wheel and be as excited as a vector. Those who go with the flow are easy to throw, lose a penny and drown. Although he is from Sichuan, he is not a student of water, and he dare not take the boat as his responsibility. Its land and water risks are so. The smell of the Han Dynasty is full of obstacles between Jianghuai and its empty land. Is it empty?
Fuzhou's post-official rule is in the soil of Fujian, and the so-called Fujian is also in the middle. Its land is the flattest and widest in Fujian, surrounded by distant mountains, with the Yangtze River in the south and the sea in the east. The city is painted inside and outside, and there are ditches beside it to communicate with the tide, and boats return to the door day and night. There are many trees in the foothills, but many craftsmen. People admire the beauty of their house. Although they are poor, their families will be very rich, and those Buddhists and Laozi are particularly prosperous in their palaces. There are three mountains in this city, Fujian Mountain in the west, Jiuxian Mountain in the east and Wangyue Mountain in the north. These three mountains stand on tiptoe. Surrounded by mountains, there are hundreds of palaces of Buddha and Laozi. It is magnificent and unique, and it is built to the best of its ability.
Guang Luqing and Zhi Zhaowen Guan became a state, and when Fujian Mountain was successful, the pavilion was in its place. They are victorious, the city is vast, the palace is splendid, and they can do their best. Cheng Gong's view above the rivers and seas is comparable to the so-called mountains of Penglai, abbot and Yingzhou in Taoism, hence the name "Daoshan Pavilion". Fujian is dangerous and far away, and officials are often afraid to go. Chenggong can enjoy his eyes and ears because of the goodness of his land, which not only forgets his distance and risks, but also resists his thoughts of Egypt. He is ambitious!
Therefore, Chenggong learned from the experience of governing the country, which not only improved the city, but also improved his studies, and the rest of the work was here. Gage will be even more Guangzhou when she is 18 years old. He worshipped the doctor and wrote this poem for Zhong Shi and Jixian Hall. Today, he is a famous teacher named Meng Yun.

[translation]
Fujian originally belonged to the Zhou Dynasty. In the Qin Dynasty, this land was opened up, incorporated into the Central Plains, and incorporated into Minzhong County. From Taimu County of the State of Yue to Zhang Yu County of the State of Wu, it is the passage (from the Central Plains to it). When this passage reached Fujian, the land was blocked between two mountains, and the mountains were connected without interruption. After several post stations, you can see a piece of flat land, the smallest is the county, and the largest is the state. However, states, counties (cities) are surrounded by mountains. Some of its roads climb up the hillside like a thick rope, some hang vertically on the cliff like a hair, some paths meander on unfathomable streams, and stone leaves protrude from the cliff. You must look at the place under your feet before you can move. People who carry things, even locals, have to turn their feet sideways before they can move forward. It is not uncommon for people in that place not to trip. Walking by water, the water rushes down from a height, and the rocks are staggered out of the water, such as trees erected, like horses and horses all over the mountains, thousands of miles up and down, without seeing the beginning and end. Water flows through its cracks, some meandering, some retrograde sideways. Shaped like an earthworm knot, carved like an earthworm, whirlpool like a wheel, and water whipped like an arrow. Make good use of the water potential when the ship goes backwards or downstream. If anything goes wrong, the ship will drown soon. Even locals, if they are not born to practice water kungfu, dare not take on the heavy responsibility of sailing. This is the danger of land and water in Fujian. In the Han Dynasty, people here moved to the area between the Yangtze River and Huaihe River, leaving this empty place, probably because it was dangerous, narrow and full of obstacles. Is this empty talk?
Houguan, Fuzhou, is the central part of Fujian, which is called the middle of Fujian. This is the most flat and wide place in Fujian, surrounded by mountains, with Minjiang River in the south and sea in the east. There are roads inside and outside the city, and there is a river beside the road. Rivers can communicate with the sea, and people and goods on board can gather at home day and night. There are many trees on the mountain, and many craftsmen are very skilled. People compete to boast about the size and splendor of their houses, and even the inferior and the poor must make their houses spacious. There are also Buddhism and Taoism, and their temple views are particularly magnificent. There are three mountains in this city, the one in the west is called Minshan, the one in the east is called Jiuxian Mountain, and the one in the north is called Wangyue Mountain. Along the mountain, there are dozens and hundreds of Buddhist temples and Taoist temples, and their majestic and peculiar shapes may have exhausted human strength.
Guangluqing and Princess Cheng, who directly recruited the Wenguan, were in charge of Fuzhou, and a pavilion was built in the towering part of Fuzhou. The scenery here is beautiful, the city is magnificent and the palaces are prosperous. You can look around the scenery without leaving the bamboo mat. Cheng believes that this place is above the rivers and seas, which can be regarded as a place for climbing mountains, and can be juxtaposed with Penglai, abbot and Yingzhou Sanxian Mountain mentioned by Taoism, hence the name "Daoshan Pavilion". Because the roads in Fujian are dangerous and far away, officials often dare not work here. Chenggong can build a pavilion based on the benefits of this place to trust his eyes and ears, not only forgetting its long and steep road, but also raising his thoughts. How grand his ambition is!
Chenggong is famous for his good governance in this state capital. He not only rebuilt the city wall, but also innovated the university and built a pavilion in his spare time. A year later, he was appointed as the magistrate of Guangzhou, then the doctor of Zhu Yi, then the editor of Zhong Shi and Jixian Temple, and now he is the magistrate of Yuezhou. His handwriting is meticulous and his name is Shi Meng.

This kind of artistic conception and expression technique of putting thoughts into the guest table makes the article appear novel, unique and profound, and has high artistry.
