Ancient poems are about worrying about the world first, and being happy after the world.

The Story of Yueyang Tower was written by Fan Zhongyan, a writer of the Northern Song Dynasty, on September 15th, the sixth year of the Northern Song Dynasty (1046), at the request of his good friend, Taishou Teng of Baling County. Among them, the poems "Worry about the world first, then enjoy the world" and "Don't rejoice in things, don't grieve for yourself" are well-known and quoted sentences. This paper describes the outline of Dongting Lake to set off Yueyang Tower. Teng was accused of using official money without authorization. Fan Zhongyan took this opportunity to implicitly advise him not to be happy with things, not to be sad for himself, and tried to infect old friends with his feelings of salvation and optimism of "worrying about the world first, and enjoying the world later". This is the fate of this paper, and it also determines the style of combining narrative with discussion. The Story of Yueyang Tower transcends the narrow realm of simply writing landscapes and architectural scenery, and integrates the dark changes of nature, the ups and downs of rain and shine, and the "feeling of seeing things" of "moving guests", thus focusing on discussing political ideals and expanding the realm of the article.

In the spring of the fourth year, Li Qing stayed in Baling County. In the second year, the government was harmonious and everything went smoothly. Is to rebuild Yueyang Tower, add its old system, and engrave Tang Xian's poems on it. It belongs to the composition to remember.

Guanfu Baling wins in Dongting Lake. Take a distant mountain, swallow the Yangtze River, and make a vast soup, boundless; It's sunny in the morning and cloudy at night. 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, the moon will not open, the evil wind will howl, and the turbid waves will be empty; The sun, moon and stars are hidden, and the mountains are hidden; Business travel is bad and ruined; Twilight is boundless, tigers roar and apes crow. When you go to the temple building, you are homesick, sad, sad and sad.

If it is spring, it is calm and the sky is high and the clouds are light; Sha Ou Ji Xiang, swimming in the brocade scale; The coast is blue 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! Try to seek the heart of ancient benevolent people, or do something different from them. What? Don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself; If you live high in a temple, you will worry about your people; If you stay away from the Jianghu, you will worry about your husband. It's worrying about going in and going out. But when will you be happy? It must be said, "worry about the world first, and then enjoy the world." Hey! Wes, who are we going home with?

September 15th, six years.
