Appreciation of Yueyang Tower's Calligraphy Works The original text of Yueyang Tower is selected from Fan Zhongyan (989- 1052), the author of Fan Wenzheng Gong Ji, with Greek characters. After his death, posthumous title Zheng Wen was a politician, writer and strategist in the Northern Song Dynasty. He was born in poverty, lost his father at a young age, and his mother remarried, went out to study and worked hard. He was ambitious since he was a child, even when he was a scholar? Take the world as your responsibility? . Later, he was demoted for offending Prime Minister Lv Yijian. Later, when he participated in politics, he once put forward some suggestions on reforming the tax of land equalization, and was once again demoted. Later he died on the way to Yingzhou.
This article was written on 1046. Fan Zhongyan was relegated to Dengzhou, Henan Province, and Teng rebuilt Yueyang Tower on 1047. Please take notes. Because they are all relegated people and have the same thoughts and feelings, the article is full of inspirational feelings of making friends, which not only shows the author's great ambition of worrying about the country and the people.
In the spring of Li Qing's fourth year, Teng was demoted as the satrap of Baling. In the second year, the political affairs were smooth, the people were happy, and the business was abolished. So the Yueyang Tower was rebuilt, the original scale was expanded, and the good modern poems of the Tang Dynasty were engraved on it. Entrust me to write an article about it.
I think the beautiful scenery of Baling County is concentrated on Dongting Lake. Dongting Lake is connected with distant mountains and breathes the Yangtze River. Vast and boundless, the scenery is ever-changing in the morning and evening (within one day). This is a magnificent sight of Yueyang Tower. The foregoing description has been very detailed. In this case, Dongting Lake leads directly to Wuxia in the north and reaches Xiaoshui and Xiangshui in the south. Most of the frustrated poets gather here, and the feelings caused by seeing natural scenery will probably be different.
Like a rainy day, it doesn't clear up for months, the cold wind howls and the turbid waves rush to the sky; The sun, the moon and the stars cover their brilliance, and the mountains cover their appearance; Businessmen and passengers couldn't move forward, the mast fell and the oars broke; In the evening, the sky is dark, and tigers howl and apes crow. When you climb this building, you have to leave Beijing, miss your hometown, worry about speaking ill of others, and be afraid of being criticized. At first glance, your eyes are full of depression and your heart is very sad.
As for the spring breeze and warm sunshine, the lake is calm, there are no stormy waves, and the sky is green and boundless; Sha Ou sometimes flies, sometimes stops, beautiful fish swim around in the water, and the grass on the shore and orchids on the small continent have rich fragrance and lush flowers and leaves. Sometimes the smoke disappears completely, the bright moonlight pours away, the fluctuating light shines like gold, and the quiet moon shadow sinks into the jade in the water. The fisherman's singing is different, and this kind of fun is endless! When you climb Yueyang Tower, you will feel open-minded and cheerful. You will forget the glory and shame, and when you raise your glass to meet the breeze, you will feel elated.
Alas! I have explored the thoughts and feelings of ancient nobles, which may be different from those of the above two kinds of people. Why? (They) will not be happy or sad because of external things (good or bad) and themselves (gains and losses). When they were officials in the imperial court, they were worried about the people, and when they were not officials in the imperial court, they were worried about the king. From this perspective, I am worried about being an official, and I am worried about not being an official. So when will they be happy? They will definitely say:? Worry about the world first, and enjoy it later? . Alas! If there is no such person, who am I with?
