The four famous buildings in the south of the Yangtze River in China are sometimes called the four famous buildings in the south of the Yangtze River, which generally refer to the four buildings with a long history and culture, including Yueyang Tower in Yueyang, Hunan, Yellow Crane Tower in Wuhan, Hubei, Tengwang Pavilion in Nanchang, Jiangxi, and Xie Maolou in Xuanzhou, Anhui. But it is said that the four famous buildings are the three famous buildings in the south of the Yangtze River, and Xie Tiao Building is not one of them. Another way of saying it is that the four famous buildings do not include Xie Tiao Tower, but include Yuejiang Tower in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province. (The above reference: Baidu Encyclopedia /view/303786.htm)
Generally speaking, the four famous buildings in China are Yueyang Tower, Yellow Crane Tower, Wangtengting and Penglai Pavilion. Penglai Pavilion is in Shandong, so there is no Penglai Pavilion in the four famous buildings in the south of the Yangtze River.
About Yuejiang Tower Lou Ji: The original intention of building Yuejiang Tower began with the founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty 626 years ago. Because before he proclaimed himself emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang commanded tens of thousands of troops on the Lion Mountain with the red and yellow flags as the number, and defeated the strong attack of his old enemy Chen Youliang's 400,000 troops, which laid the foundation for the establishment of the Ming Dynasty. 14 years later, in a.d. 1374, that is, in the spring of the seventh year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang built a pavilion in Lion Mountain, named it Yuejiang Tower, and ordered the civil servants in the DPRK to write an article about Yuejiang Tower. Up to now, there are three articles written by Song Lian and Zhu Yuanzhang, famous writers and academicians in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty.
Song Lian's articles should be talked about more now.

Yuejiang Lou Ji Yuanshi
Jinling is a country of emperors. From the Six Dynasties to the Southern Tang Dynasty, all kinds of people were biased towards one side, and they were not as good as the king of mountains and rivers. Arrest my emperor, Tintin is here, that's enough. Because it is a sound education center, I am embarrassed to find the south; Preserving the spirit [Mu Qing] is the same as the Tao. Although I went to Henan, I thought it was the law of later generations.
There is Lion Mountain in the northwest of Beijing, winding in Lulong. The Yangtze River flows like a rainbow and winds around it. The world is big, and it can be won by its land. Gai Lou is on the top and enjoys the people. Sui Jiaqian called it "Reading the River" Cloud. When you see it, it is a thousand-year secret, once it is revealed. Isn't it made in heaven to be a unified monarch and a grand observer of a thousand generations
When the wind is clear and the air is beautiful, the law is happy and the pepper is prosperous. From a distance, it's just a leisurely daydream. Seeing Jianghan's ancestor, the princes' debriefing, the depth of the city and the strictness of Guan E, we have to say: "This is the result of Mu Feng's defeat in catching rain." The width of midsummer is guaranteed by the benefits of thinking. I saw the mighty waves, sailing and sailing, and countless ships came to the court. They paid tribute side by side, and they must say, "This is my virtue and strength, and it is also within the reach of the outside and the inside." Four feet away, Izzy is so soft. Seeing the cross-strait and suburban areas, farmers have the trouble of licking their skins and feet, and peasant women have the diligence to lick mulberry leaves. They must say, "I pulled out the fire and water and climbed onto the mat." People of 10,000 square meters are good at thinking and feel at ease. And so on, and so on. I know the fourth floor, so the emperor is so relaxed, because things are exciting and contain his thoughts on governing the country, and I am just laughing at the Yangtze River!
He is in the spring, he is married, not in China; Yun Qi and meteor are not tall. However, the obscene sound of the orchestra masked Zhao Yan's Yan Ji. I don't know why I said that. Although the Yangtze River originated in Minshan Mountain, it began to enter the sea more than 7,000 miles away, and the Six Dynasties often relied on it as a natural barrier. Today, the North-South family is regarded as a stream of peace, and nothing has anything to do with war. However, who can help? People who care about everything, such as those who climb the fourth floor and read the four rivers, think of the emperor as a sky, which is hard to be famous, just like Shen Yu's sparse chisel. Loyal to the heart of serving the country, there is no oil and no prosperity? I'm not sensitive, so it's written on the order form. People who want to stay up all night to cure diseases will be happy. If he lingers in this situation, he will be careless and afraid to use it.

On the Translation of "Reading the River in Lou Ji"
Jinling is the city where the emperor lived. From the Six Dynasties to the Southern Tang Dynasty, it was partial and could not adapt to the kingly way presented by the local mountains and rivers. Until today's emperor, the founding of the people's Republic of China is based on this, which is enough to compete with it. Since then, prestige and enlightenment have not been blocked by the north and south; Self-cultivation [harmony and brightness] is almost integrated with heaven. Even if it is a cruise or an entertainment, we should think about how to be imitated by future generations in the world.
There is a Lion Mountain in the northwest of Beijing, which meanders from Lulongshan. The Yangtze River flows around the foot of the mountain like a rainbow. Because of the magnificent situation here, the emperor ordered to build a building on the top of the mountain to enjoy sightseeing with the people, so he gave it a wonderful name "Reading the River". Climbing upstairs, you can see it everywhere, and thousands of landscapes are listed in turn. The secret of the Millennium earth seems to be revealed in an instant. Didn't heaven and earth deliberately create beautiful scenery, waiting for the wise monarch on the unified sea to show the wonders of future generations?
Whenever the weather is sunny, the emperor's car comes, climbs to the top of the mountain, leans against the railing and looks far away. He must look for a long time and start daydreaming. Seeing the Hanshui River of the Yangtze River rushing eastward, the princes went to Beijing to meet the son of heaven. The city was far-reaching and the pass was tight. They must say, "This is what I got through the storm, defeating the strong enemy and attacking the city to take land." China's vast land is more about how to preserve it. Seeing the mighty ups and downs of the waves, the ups and downs of sailboats, foreign ships coming to appear before the court in succession, and treasures from all directions scrambling to pay tribute, they will definitely say, "This is what I achieved by appeasing with kindness, subduing with power, and gaining fame from inside and outside." The remote borders in four directions are trying to appease them. Seeing that between the banks of the great river and the fields in the suburbs, there are troubles of roasting skin in the hot sun and cracking toes in the cold, and the peasant woman has the hard work of picking mulberry and delivering rice, she must say, "This is the person I rescued from the mire and put on the mattress." For the people all over the world, I want them to live and work in peace and contentment. The emotions caused by seeing this phenomenon are really endless. I know that the building was built by the emperor in order to spread out his arms, which triggered emotions with the scenery, all of which contained his thoughts of governing the world, not just enjoying the scenery of the Yangtze River.
Lin Chun Pavilion and Qi Jie Pavilion are not gorgeous. Yun Qi Building and Luoxing Building are not tall. But it is nothing more than being happy because of playing lewd songs, or hiding the beauty of Zhao Yan for happiness. But in a blink of an eye, it is connected with infinite emotions. I really don't know how to explain it. Even so, the Yangtze River originates from Minshan Mountain and winds for more than 7,000 miles before it flows eastward into the sea. During the Six Dynasties, Bai Bo was turbulent and blue, which was often regarded as a natural barrier. Now it is a family of north and south, so the Yangtze River is regarded as a river of peace and is no longer used for war. However, whose power is this? Readers who climb this building to watch this river should feel that the emperor's kindness is like heaven, and its vastness is beyond words, almost as boundless as Dayu's achievements in saving the people. Do you still have a sense of loyalty to your country? I don't have the talent to write this article on the orders of the emperor, so I will carve the most important point of working day and night for the emperor on the stone. As for other lingering words, I don't want to say them simply, for fear of blasphemy.
