pavilion of surging waves

Author: Su Shunqin in Song Dynasty

Give up and don't return. The boat is in Wuzhong, which is the beginning of the house. When the summer is steaming, people live in cramped places and can't vent their anger. They think that the land in Gao Shuang is empty and comfortable, so they can't get it.

After a day of school in the county seat, the greenery in the east is endless, unlike in the city. After the water is mixed, a path is formed between the flowers and the bamboo. Hundreds of steps to the east, abandoned land, 50 or 60 searches in vertical and horizontal directions, all three directions are water. To the south of the bar, the land is wide, there is no residential building next to it, and trees are shaded on both sides. Visiting the old is still old, and there are thousands of countries in the cloud, which is very close to Chiguan, where Qi Sun became a friend. The Great Depression prevailed, but the legacy remained.

I lingered for love, so I got it for 40,000 yuan, built a pavilion in the north, and posthumous title' Canglang'. The front bamboo is behind the water, and the yang of the water is bamboo, which is infinite. Chengchuan is green, and light and shadow meet in pavilions, especially romantic.

The boat is on the list, the towel is in the past, and then it is forgotten. Singing loudly, squatting and whistling, the wild is not old, and the fish and birds are happy. When the skeleton is smooth, God will not be annoyed. When he hears innocence, he will know the truth. Looking back at the honor and disgrace field, the daily interests come to an abrupt end, which is really interesting and despicable.

Hey! People repair animals' ears. Love was inside, but outside, and then it was sent away. Stay for a long time will drown, take it for granted; Easy to win, sad to win, not open. Only officials drown people deeply.

Gentlemen of the ancient philosophers, once you lose, many people die. This is the way to win because of the unknown. Get rid of it, be content to be bold and open, and not follow the crowd. Therefore, the repair depends on the internal and external original losses, and the gains are worthwhile. I haven't forgotten its meaning, but I think it will win!

Because of my faith, I was banished to Shu Ren, and there was nowhere to go, so I traveled in Wudi by boat. Rent a house first. It's very hot in midsummer, and the earth house is very small, so I can't breathe. I want to stretch my mind in an empty and secluded place in Gao Shuang, but I can't find it.

One day, when I was visiting Gong Xue, I saw the lush vegetation in the east, and the high pier and wide water surface were different from those in the city. Walk a few hundred steps eastward along the path shaded by flowers and bamboos by the water. There is a wasteland about 60 fathoms away in Fiona Fang, surrounded by water on three sides. The south side of the small bridge is relatively open, there is no house next to it, and there are trees all around. Asked the old man, "It's the abandoned garden of Sun Chengyou, the eldest princess of King Wu Yue."

From the height of the terrain, we can also see the remains of that year. I love this place, I walked back and forth, and finally bought it for 40 thousand yuan, and built a pavilion in the north, called "Canglang" bamboo in the north, water in the south and bamboo forest in the north of the water. There is no end. Green bamboo in Qinghe River, with light and shadow interlaced between doors and windows, especially when there is wind and moon.

I often go to the pavilion by boat and wear light clothes. I forgot to go back when I got to the pavilion, or wrote poems about wine, or screamed at the sky. Even hermits don't come here, just playing with fish and birds. The body is comfortable, and the mind has no worries.

Everything you hear and hear is pure, so the truth of life is clear. Looking back at the previous Vanity Fair, it is not too vulgar to care about small gains and losses every day.

Alas! People will be moved by the influence of foreign objects. Emotions are filled in my heart and my temperament is depressed. You must use foreign things to get rid of them. If you stay for a long time, you will be addicted, taking it for granted. If you don't go beyond this point and change your mentality, then sadness will not be resolved. Only for the official road, the field of fame and fortune, is the most easy for people to fall into it. From ancient times to the present, I don't know how many talented people died of political frustration because they didn't realize the way to dominate themselves and surpass themselves.

Although I was demoted, I won such a great victory. I was satisfied with diluting my horizons and not working with others, so I could find the root of my heart and body, gain something, and be proud through the ages. I haven't forgotten my inner Lord, and I feel detached.

Creation background

This article was written after Su Shunqin suffered a heavy political blow. In the fourth year of Qing Dynasty (1044), Su Shunqin, as the inspector of Jixian School, entered the performance hall on the same day, and used the money from selling old official documents to entertain colleagues and guests. At that time, the conservative imperial counselor Wang of North Korea was dissatisfied with the efforts of Prime Minister Du Yan, political affairs Fan Zhongyan, and Tang envoys to reform malpractice.

Su Shunqin was recommended by Fan Zhongyan and Du Yan's husband, so conservatives seized the matter and impeached him for stealing prison. As a result, Su Shunqin was removed from his post and more than ten people present were expelled from North Korea. Su Shunqin was very angry at such a trifle, and he went to Suzhou with mental pain. Soon, he built Canglang Pavilion in the south of the city and wrote this article.
