The poems describing Yueyang Tower include:
1. "Climb the Yueyang Tower in the rain and look at Junshan Mountain"
Song Dynasty: Huang Tingjian
Suffering a Thousand Deaths The spots on the temples give birth to Qutang Yanli Pass.
Smile before arriving in the south of the Yangtze River, facing Junshan from the Yueyang Tower.
In the wind and rain all over the river, I lean on the railing alone, tying up the twelve servant girls of Xiang'e.
It’s a pity that you can’t see green mountains from the surface of the lake.
Translation:
I was sent to the borderlands and experienced thousands of deaths with stained temples, but now I have walked out of Yanli Pass in Qutang Gorge alive.
Before I reach Jiangnan, I smile to myself and stand on the Yueyang Tower facing Junshan.
The wind and rain all over the river leaned against the railing alone, forming Mrs. Xiang’s twelve-bun hairdo.
It’s a pity that I can’t face the lake and can only look at Junshan Mountain among the silver mountains.
2. "Willow Shafts·Yueyang Tower"
Song Dynasty: Dai Xiuxiu
The hidden sword flies and sings, the grass in the Dongting is green, and the autumn water is deep.
Ten thousand hectares of ripples of light, Yueyang Tower, quickly drape your clothes.
No need to bring wine with you. I asked if there was wine, who would pour it?
Everything in the world has changed, but the mountains are a little bit different, from ancient times to the present.
Translation:
Singing everywhere with a dagger, Dongting Lake and Qingcao Lake, the clear autumn water is deep and deep.
On the majestic Yueyang Tower, overlooking the vast expanse of sparkling waves, open your clothes to the west wind.
There is no need to bring wine to a tall building. If you have wine, who will you drink it with?
Things in the world are constantly changing, but only the Junshan Mountain in the lake remains the same as it has been since ancient times.
3. "Accompanying Pei Shijun to Climb the Yueyang Tower"
Tang Dynasty: Du Fu
The lake is vast and cloudy, and the tower is lonely in the evening.
The gift was given to Xu Ruzi, and the poem was thanked to Xuancheng.
There are plum trees growing on the snow bank, and hundreds of grasses growing on the spring mud.
If you dare to disobey the fisherman's question, you will march further south from now on.
Translation:
Dongting Lake is vast and turbulent, while Yueyang Tower is lonely and clear at sunset.
Shijun Pei treats me as politely as Xu Ruzi, and I should be with Shijun Pei just like I am with Xie Xuancheng.
I feel like a cluster of plum blossoms blooming in the snow on the lakeshore, and I also feel like I am sprouting from the spring soil like a hundred herbs.
How dare I go against the fisherman’s rules? From now on, I will change my original idea and no longer go south like Qu Yuan did.
4. "Climbing the Yueyang Tower"
Song Dynasty: Xiao Dezao
If you don't let go of the vastness, it will really be a wandering tour.
Three strangers, one night in the cave in autumn.
From where the egret flies, you can see the end of the mountain and the sky.
Still not satisfied with the wonder, we went to Yueyang Tower.
Translation:
I cannot spread my wings and fly into the distant and vast space, but wander around Hunan and Guizhou against my will.
I have been living in the remote Yelangdi for the past three years. This autumn I was lucky enough to take a small boat ride on Dongting Lake.
The flying egret inspired the poem, and the green mountains loomed at the end of the sky.
But I still felt that I could not enjoy the amazing scenery, so I left the boat and climbed to the Yueyang Tower.
5. "Climbing the Yueyang Tower"
Tang Dynasty: Du Fu
In the past, I heard about the water in Dongting, and now I am going up to the Yueyang Tower.
In the southeast corner of Wu and Chu, the universe floats day and night.
There are no relatives and friends, and there are no old and sick people.
The soldiers and horses pass through the north of the mountain, and Pingxuan Tisi flows.
Translation:
I have heard about the famous Dongting Lake for a long time, and today I was lucky enough to climb the Yueyang Tower by the lake.
The vastness of the lake seems to separate Wu and Chu from the southeast, and the sky and the earth seem to be rippling and floating on the lake day and night.
Wandering around the rivers and lakes with relatives and friends without saying a word about old friends, the old and the weak live in this lonely boat.
The war raging in the north of Guanshan has not stopped yet. Looking out of the window, we can see each other with tears in our hearts and our country.
