Looking around, beautiful peaks surround the entire Chuzhou City. The many peaks, woods and valleys in the southwest of the city are particularly beautiful. From a distance, the place with lush vegetation and deep beauty is Langya Mountain. After walking for six or seven miles along the mountain road, you gradually hear the gurgling sound of water flowing out from between the two peaks. This is Niangquan. The mountains here are winding, and the road also turns with the mountains. There is a pavilion with four corners raised like a bird spreading its wings, standing high above the spring. This is the Drunkard Pavilion. The person who built the pavilion was Zhixian, a monk in the mountain. The person who named it was the prefect who named it after his nickname "Drunkard". Once the prefect and his guests came here to drink. The prefect got drunk after drinking very little wine. Among them, he was the oldest. So I gave myself the nickname "Drunkard". The drunkard's interest is not in wine, but in the beautiful mountains and rivers. The pleasure of appreciating mountains and rivers is grasped in the heart and placed on drinking.
When the sun comes out, the fog in the woods disperses, the smoke and clouds gather, and the valley looks dim, dark or bright, changing in different ways. This is the scenery in the mountains in the morning and evening. Wild flowers are in bloom, exuding a quiet fragrance; trees are leafy and leafy, forming a rich green shade; the weather is high and the frost is white; the water level is low and the rocks are exposed. This is the scenery of the four seasons in the mountains. Entering the mountain in the morning and returning in the evening, the scenery is different in four seasons, and the fun is endless!
The people carrying things on their backs sang on the road, the people walking were resting under the trees, the people in front called, and the people behind responded, the old people walked bent over, and the children were led by the adults, coming and going, There is an endless stream of Chuzhou people playing. Go to the stream to fish, the stream is deep and the fish are fat; use the water from the Niang Spring to make wine, the spring water is sweet and the wine is fragrant; game and wild vegetables are placed in front of you, this is the prefect entertaining guests. The fun of drinking at a banquet is not in the music. The person who threw the pot won, the person who played chess won, the wine glasses and wine chips were intertwined, people stood up and sat down, and the loud noise was that these guests were having fun. The man with an old face and gray hair, drunkenly sitting among the crowd, was the drunken prefect.
Soon the sun went down and people’s shadows scattered everywhere. The prefect also went down the mountain to go home, followed by the guests. The trees were dense and shady, and the birds were singing everywhere. After the tourists left, the birds were happy. . Although birds know the joy of mountains and forests, they do not understand the joy of people. Tourists only know the joy of playing with the prefect, but they do not know that the prefect regards people's happiness as happiness.
When you are drunk, you can have fun with everyone, and when you sober up, you can write about it in words
