In the spring of Li Qing's fourth year, Teng was demoted as the satrap of Baling. In the second year, political affairs were smooth, people were happy, and various waste businesses were established one after another. So the Yueyang Tower was rebuilt, the original scale was expanded, and the poems of Tang Dynasty and contemporary celebrities were engraved on it. Entrust me to write an article about it.
The second paragraph of the original text: Yu Baling won the case in Dongting Lake. The mountains are far away, the Yangtze River swallows, the soup is wide, the horizon is boundless, the morning light is brilliant, and the weather is myriad. This is the grand view of Yueyang Tower, which was prepared by predecessors. But the northern martial arts, the Antarctic Xiaoxiang, and the poets who moved abroad will all be here, and they will look at things well.
I saw the beautiful scenery of Baling County, all on Dongting Lake. It connects the distant mountains and breathes the water of the Yangtze River. It is vast and boundless, and the weather is changeable in one day. This is a magnificent sight of Yueyang Tower. The previous account has been very detailed. Even so, most of the exiled officials and poets who went north to the martial arts and south to Xiaoxiangshui met here, and their feelings caused by natural scenery will probably be different.
