Original text:
In the spring of the fourth year, Li Qing stayed in Baling County. The next year, the government was harmonious and everything was ruined. It is to rebuild Yueyang Tower, add its old system, and engrave Tang Xian's poems on it, which belongs to the composition to remember.
Guanfu Baling wins 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.
If it rains heavily, the moon will not open, the evil wind will howl, the turbid waves will be empty, the sun and stars will be hidden, the mountains will be hidden, business travel will not work, the dusk will be extinguished, and the tigers will roar and the apes will cry. When you go to the temple building, you are homesick, sad, sad and sad.
If it is spring and Jingming, the waves are calm, the sky is bright and blue, Ji Xiang, Sha Ou, swimming in brocade scale, and the coast is green and green. Or the long smoke is exhausted, the bright moon is thousands of miles away, the light is shining, the static shadow is sinking, and the fishing songs are answered. How happy I am! When you arrive at Dunsi Building, you will feel relaxed and happy, forget the humiliation, and leave the wine in the wind, which will make you feel happy.
Hey, honey! Is it to taste the heart of the ancient benevolent, or to do something different? Don't be happy for things, don't be sad for yourself. If you live high in the temple, you will worry about the people, and if you are far away, you will worry about the king. It's worrying about going in and going out. But when will you be happy? It must be said that "worry about the world first, and then enjoy the world"! Hey! Wes, who are we going home with? September 15th, six years.
Translation:
In the spring of Li Qing's fourth year, Teng was demoted as the satrap of Baling. After a year, politics was clear and accessible, people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and all kinds of abandoned undertakings were set up. 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.
I saw the beautiful scenery of Baling County, all on Dongting Lake. Connecting the distant mountains and engulfing the Yangtze River, the flowing water is boundless and the weather is ever-changing. This is a magnificent sight of Yueyang Tower. The previous account is (already) very detailed.
Then, most of the relegated officials and poets who went to the north for martial arts and went to the south for Xiaoshui and Xiangshui met here, and the feelings caused by watching the natural scenery would probably be different. Just like that rainy day, it didn't clear up for months, the cold wind roared and the turbid waves rushed to the sky; The sun, the moon and the stars cover their brilliance, and the mountains cover their appearance.
Businessmen and passengers couldn't get through, the mast fell and the oars broke; At night, it is dark, tigers are whistling and apes are crying. Climbing this building, you will have a feeling of leaving the capital, missing your hometown, worrying about others speaking ill of you, and being afraid of being criticized. Your eyes are full of depression and your feelings are extremely sad.
The spring breeze is warm and sunny, the lake is calm, there are no stormy waves, the sky is connected with the lake, and the green is boundless; Gulls fly and stop on the sandbar, beautiful fish swim around, herbs on the shore and orchids on the small continent are lush.
Sometimes the smoke disappears completely, the bright moonlight pours away, the fluctuating light flashes golden light, the quiet moon shadow sinks into the jade in the water, and the fishing song rings between you and me. This kind of fun (really) is endless!
When you climb this building, you will feel open-minded and happy. You will forget the glory and humiliation at the same time, and hold your glass and blow a breeze, and you will feel happy. Oh, dear! I have explored the mentality of ancient benevolent people, or these people's behaviors are different. Why? Don't be happy or sad because of external things.
When he was an official in the imperial court, he was concerned with the people; I'm not an official in the imperial court, but I'm in a remote Jianghu, worrying about you. Going forward is also worrying, and going back is also worrying. In this case, when will they feel happy? The ancients must have said, "Worry about the world first, and enjoy it later."
Ah. Alas! Without this person, who would I go home with? Written on September 15th, the sixth year of the Qing Dynasty.
The author's influence:
1, education strategy
In the choice of teachers, Fan Zhongyan advocates that teachers should teach by teachers and pay equal attention to practice. Fan Zhongyan pays attention to the training and selection of teachers and regards "learning from teachers" as the focus of education. The famous teachers he recommended, such as Hu Yuan and Li Gou, were all famous educators in the Northern Song Dynasty. In terms of teaching content, Fan Zhongyan advocated "Jing Zong" to cultivate talents who can master the "Six Classics" and know the martial arts.
2. Literary achievements
Fan Zhongyan broke the situation of poverty and weakness in the Northern Song Dynasty, attached importance to the political enlightenment of articles, and advocated that articles were an important organic part of politics, which was related to the mellow social customs and the success or failure of the country. Under the influence of the thought of saving the country by running the country, Fan Zhongyan opposed the soft prose in the early Song Dynasty and put forward the literary thought of restoring ancient ways by studying classics, saving the quality of literature and enriching its weathering.
3. Calligraphy achievements
Fan Zhongyan is good at writing. Huang Tingjian's "Inscription on the Valley" said: "The official book of Fan Wen is very close to the Jin and Song Dynasties." There is another saying: "Ode to Boyi is the official book of Fan Wenzheng, which is very popular with predecessors. It is difficult to make it clear and dynamic in small letters. Zhu's "continuation of the book" means that Fan Zhongyan learned Wang Xizhi's "Yue Lun Yi" in his later years, which is also a generation.
