"Dongting Lake is the water of the world, and Yueyang Tower 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 scholar 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.
Allusions:
According to historical records, the predecessor of Yueyang Tower is said to be a reading building built by Lu Su, a famous Dongwu star in the Three Kingdoms period, to review the drills of the water army. Accordingly, it has been more than 1700 years. In the first year of Jin Taikang (AD 280), Baling County was built in Baqiu area, and the reading tower was changed to Baling Tower. In the 16th year of Yuanjia in the Southern Song Dynasty (AD 439), Baling abandoned county was changed to county, which was correct. It has become a place for people to visit. From then on, people who drink are afraid and should be able to drink upstairs. But it was not called Yueyang Tower at that time, because it was built on the west gate city and called the West Tower. Because it is located in the south of the county, there is a south building; Because it is close to Dongting Lake, there is Dongting Building or Dongting Building.
