Record of the Old Tippler's Pavalion
Chuzhou city is surrounded by mountains. Many peaks, forests and valleys in the southwest are particularly beautiful. From a distance, the lush, deep and beautiful place is Langya Mountain. After walking six or seven miles along the mountain road, I gradually heard the gurgling sound of running water, and the spring water was brewing between the two peaks. The mountain turns around, the mountain road turns, and the corner of the pavilion rises, like a bird spreading its wings, perching on the spring water. This is the Zuiweng Pavilion. Who is the man who built this pavilion? It's a monk and a wise fairy in the mountains. Who named it? The satrap was named after his nickname (drunkard). Taishou and his guests came here to drink, and after drinking a little, they got drunk, and they were the oldest, so they called themselves alcoholics. The taste of drunkards lies not in drinking, but in the mountains and rivers. Enjoy the pleasure of mountains and rivers, understand it in your heart, and pin it on wine.
Just like when the sun comes out, the fog in the forest dissipates, the twilight clouds gather, the caves in the mountains are dim, and the darkness changes (alternately), that is, sooner or later in the mountains. Wildflowers are in full bloom, emitting quiet fragrance, and beautiful trees are luxuriant in branches and leaves, forming a rich shade. The weather is Gao Shuang, with frost, low water level and bare stones. This is the scenery of the four seasons in the mountains. Going up the mountain in the morning and returning at night, the scenery of the four seasons is different and the fun is endless.
As for the people who carry things on their backs singing on the road, the people who walk rest under the trees, the people in front shout, and the people behind promise that the old and the young will come and go without interruption. This is a trip of Chuzhou people. Go fishing in the stream, the stream is deep, the fish is very fat, and the wine is brewed with spring water. The spring water is sweet and pure in color, and the game in the mountains and the vegetables in the fields are placed in front of it in disorder. This is a satrap party. The fun of feasting is not orchestral music. The pot-thrower fights, the chess player wins, the wine glasses are mixed with wine scraps, people sometimes stand and sometimes sit and shout loudly, and the guests are (sincerely) happy. His face was old, his hair was gray, and he sat among the guests drunk. Taishou is drunk.
Shortly after sunset, the figures scattered vertically and horizontally, and the satrap returned, followed by guests. At this time, the trees are shaded, the birds are singing everywhere, and the birds are very happy after the tourists leave. However, birds only know the joy of mountains, not the joy of people. People only know the fun of following the satrap, but they don't know that the satrap is enjoying himself. People who are drunk and can enjoy happiness with everyone, and those who can be described in the article when they wake up, are the satrap. Who is the satrap? It's Ouyang Xiu from Luling.
There is also: drunken pavilion is beautiful and poetic. This paper consists of two parts: the first part focuses on pavilions; The second part focuses on writing a travel note. But the word "music" runs through the whole article. In order to understand the meaning of this drunkard, let's enjoy the beauty of the landscape of Zuiweng Pavilion.
At the beginning of the article, there is a well-crafted sentence "Surrounding Chu, Chu is also a mountain", which suddenly shows the magnificent mountain scenery of Chuzhou surrounded by mountains in front of your eyes, continuous and magnificent. When you are intoxicated with the magnificent mountains and rivers, the author reminds you of the "southwest peaks", where the Woods and valleys are particularly beautiful. When you are attracted by the "Southwest Peaks", he tells you that from a distance, that lush, deep and beautiful mountain is Langya Mountain. In this way, you can have a panoramic view from mountain to peak to Langya, from far to near. After walking six or seven miles into the mountains, I gradually heard the gurgling sound of running water, and a mountain spring rushed out between the two peaks. This is the brewing spring. Here, the author combines the visual image with the auditory image, and the quiet mountain scenery and the dynamically brewed spring water set each other off. When you haven't had time to take a sip of fresh spring water, the peak turns around, and you suddenly see a pavilion, which is close to the spring water, and its horns are tilted up like birds spreading their wings. This is Zuiweng Pavilion. As a result, a beautiful landscape with towering mountains, flowing springs, flying pavilions spreading their wings and mountains, springs and pavilions reflecting each other vividly appears in front of people. Then, the author probes into its source, pointing out that it was a wise monk who built the pavilion and the satrap named it. Taishou calls himself "Drunken Weng", so he also calls this pavilion Drunken Weng Pavilion. Why does Ouyang Xiu, the prefect, often come here to drink with guests? Why did you get drunk without drinking too much? Ouyang Xiu came to Chuzhou to be a local official. Why did he call himself "Weng"? It goes without saying that this includes the depression and bitterness that he was relegated, his talents could not be displayed, his ideals could not be realized, and he had to drown his sorrows in wine! "The meaning of drunkenness is not in wine, but also between mountains and rivers." Appreciating the joy of mountains and rivers, although it contains sorrow, can relieve the sorrow after all, laying the foundation for the second part of writing the joy of travel.
The scenery of Zuiweng Pavilion is very beautiful, and the mountain scenery of Zuiweng Pavilion is more beautiful and lovely because of the change of dusk and season. In the morning, the sun rises, the morning glow is brilliant, the fog disappears, and the mountains and rivers are fresh and quiet; In the evening, the sun sets, the twilight is boundless, and the caves among the rocks are dark and quiet, which is intoxicating. In spring, wild flowers are in full bloom and fragrant; In summer, beautiful trees are lush and shady; In autumn, the wind and frost are noble and clean; In winter, the truth comes out. The four seasons change, and the wonders overlap. It's fun to enjoy the mountain view of Zuiweng Pavilion.
It's interesting to see the changing mountain scenery of Zuiweng Pavilion, but it's more interesting to watch people roam in Zuiweng Pavilion and have a full meal there. Those who recite things sing while walking; Tired of walking, rest under the tree and feel comfortable. People greet each other, old people and children, coming and going. There is stillness, movement, sound and posture here, which depicts a vivid picture of the amusement of Chu people. Then I wrote the spring wine of fat fish, the satrap banquet of wild vegetables, and the drunkenness of "white-haired, depressed" satrap mixed with everyone's joy. In the extreme joy, the satrap's complicated mentality is also skillfully expressed.
Finally, from the comparison of different contents and feelings of the joy of birds, guests and satrap, it is concluded that "birds know the joy of mountains, but they don't know the joy of people;" People know that swimming from the satrap is fun, but they don't know that the joy of the satrap is also fun. "Drunk, you can have fun with people; When I woke up, it was Ouyang Xiu, the satrap, who was able to write the article "Drunken Pavilion". Pen and ink are concise and implicit, with far-reaching implications.
