Heyueyanglou
"Dongting is the water of the world, and Yueyang is the building of the world." The famous poem "The Story of Yueyang Tower" by Wei Yunzhen, a poet in the Ming Dynasty, was carved into a couplet and hung in front of Yueyang Tower. This is the most wonderful advertisement of Yueyang Tower. In fact, there are two sentences behind this poem: "Who is the man in the world? Drinking upstairs. " Judging from the poems chanting Yueyang Tower, since the Tang and Song Dynasties at the latest, this has been an elegant move that touched a man with lofty ideals.
According to historical records, the predecessor of Yueyang Tower is said to be a reading building built by Lu Su, a famous Dongwu soldier in the Three Kingdoms period, to review the drills of the water army. It has been 1700 years now. In the first year of Jin Taikang (AD 280), Baling County was built around Baqiu, and the Yue Army Tower was changed to Baling Tower. In the 16th year of Yuanjia in the Southern Song Dynasty (AD 439), Baling abandoned the county as a county and rebuilt the Baling Tower, making this very humble military facility a place for people to visit. Since it's a sightseeing tour, I think since then, people who drink are afraid, so they should be able to drink upstairs. However, it was not called Yueyang Tower at that time, because it was built on the west gate, and some people called it West Tower. Because it is located in the south of the county, there is a south building; It is also because it is close to Dongting Lake, and some of them are called Dongting Building or Dongting Building.
"He Qi is on the first floor of Yueyang Tower? Du Shaoling's five-character swan song, Fan's two words care about love, Teng's everything is in full swing, and Lv Chunyang is drunk after three customs. Poetry, Confucianism, officials and immortals, before me, where were those lost times? It made me cry. " Besides the four famous poets, Confucian scholars, sages and Brewmaster listed in this famous couplet, Li Bai should be the first person to make Yueyang Tower famous all over the world.
In the second year of Tang Dynasty (AD 759), Li Bai suddenly granted amnesty, lifted his exile and returned to Jiangling thousands of miles away. It is said that he came from the sky and was extremely happy. Li Bai went down to Jiangling, and after crossing Yueyang, he went boating in Dongting Lake with his friends to enjoy the moon and went to Yueyang Tower for drinking, leaving behind ten immortal works, such as Climbing Yueyang Tower with Twelve Summers, Visiting Dongting with Assistant Minister Ye of the Criminal Department of my Uncle and Five Poems of Jiasheren in the Chinese Book. Among them, "Twelve Summers Climbing Yueyang Tower" is recognized by later generations as the "naming work" of Yueyang Tower. The poem says: "The view of the building is in Yueyang, and the cave opens in Sichuan. It breaks my heart to see geese flying south, and the distant mountains are in the title of a good month. On the upper floor of the sky, stay in the chair and upload a glass of wine from the sky. The wind is cool after drunkenness, and the sleeves are dancing in the sky. " Jia Zhi, a calligrapher from China who went boating in Dongting Lake with Li Bai, also left a good poem "A New Banquet at Yueyang Tower to Send a Turtle to Changsha". After Li Bai and Jia Zhi wrote poems, the title of Yueyang Tower was established and has been used ever since. In other words, it is Li Bai's poems that really change Yueyang Tower from Yueyang Tower to the first floor in the world.
Since the Tang and Song Dynasties, it has been inferred from the poems and pictures about Yueyang Tower that it has always been the organizational system of Yueyang Tower to open a high-rise building with wine. Li Bai's dancing cup sleeves and Jia Zhi's farewell banquet all prove that Yueyang Tower can be used for singing and dancing. Zhang, a poet in the Song Dynasty, said more clearly in his poem "Drinking Yueyang Tower in Ji You during the Mid-Autumn Festival": "Yueyang Tower is a few thousands of feet taller and Dongting is full of wine." The earliest existing picture of Yueyang Tower is a fan painted by Xia Yong in the seventh year of Yuan Dynasty (AD 1347). As can be seen from the picture, Yueyang Tower at that time had two floors and three eaves, with doors and windows on the second floor and cloisters around it. There is a sudden entrance around the first floor, and there is a cloister in the sudden entrance. According to Wang Xin's "Three Stories Meeting" in Wanli period of Ming Dynasty, "Yueyang Tower has three floors, with a sudden porch on all sides, like a cross, and water skiing on both sides. Today, the frame building has three eaves, four feet and five feet high. " At the end of the Ming Dynasty, in the "Yueyang Tower" painted by the court painter An, tourists were playing chess upstairs. Look, say and recite poems. Since then, Yueyang Tower has been abandoned several times, until it was rebuilt in the sixth year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty (AD 1880) to restore the charm of Tang and Song Dynasties, and today's Yueyang Tower with four columns and three cornices has its shape.
It is worth mentioning that when the overhaul of Yueyang Tower was completed in December of the sixth year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty, a signboard was jointly set up by the main hall of Yuezhou Government and Baling County at that time. The tablet reads: "Yueyang Tower is a scenic spot in the county, and scholars have to visit it. But judging from the immortal bones, silence makes sense. However, those who are uneasy about their duties, those who go upstairs for sightseeing, those who make any noise, and those who fight with each other are extremely inappropriate. It is strictly forbidden to show together. To this end, I would like to pay tribute to the scholar and others: after visiting the building, you should abide by etiquette and laws and don't make noise; The Sanzui Pavilion and the Baoxia wing beside the pavilion were originally places for tourists to rest, and drinking and making trouble were not allowed. In case of an official or gentry meeting on business, visitors should avoid each other and do not trespass. After self-presentation, if you violate the rules again, you will be accepted as a case. Special show. " Since then, Yueyang Tower has established the rule of "reasonable silence", and naturally it is no longer possible to drink upstairs.
Now, you can go to the temple building, lean against the railing, face the window, see the water and the sky, and enjoy the endless scenery. Although you can't bring wine into the wind, you can't be sad or happy in front of you. You are the best in the world, you can shoot the railing all over.
