All Ancient Poems and Literary Writings in RENJIANG VIII

1. The Book with Zhu Yuan Si

The Book with Zhu Yuan Si is a famous eclogue written by Wu Jun, a literary scholar of the Liang Dynasty in the Southern Dynasties, which not only contrasts the beauty of the landscape with the feelings of human beings, but also expresses the feelings of contempt for the worldly officialdom and the pursuit of fame and fortune, and exhorts the friends. Subtly revealing the adoration of beautiful nature, avoiding the world and retreating from the lofty aspirations.

Originally, the wind and smoke are clean, Tianshan **** color. From the flow of drift, any thing. From Fuyang to Tonglu, one hundred miles, strange mountains and water, the world is unique.　

Water are misty (piǎo) blue, thousands of feet to the bottom. The water is all indistinct (piǎo) blue, thousands of feet to see the bottom. The water is very fast, and the waves are very fierce.

The high mountains along the banks are covered with cold trees. The negative trend of competition, each other xuanmiao (miǎo), high and straight to the point, thousands of peaks. The spring water stirs the stone, sounding (líng); good birds chirping, calling into rhyme. Cicadas have a thousand turns and apes have a hundred calls. Those who fly to the hostile (lì) sky look at the peaks and rest their hearts; those who are experienced in world affairs forget to reflect on the valley. The horizontal cocoon is still dusk in the day; the sparse stripes are reflected, and sometimes the sun is seen.

Translated (in the sky), the smoke on the river was all dissipated, and the sky and the distant mountains were all of the same color. (I took a boat) and floated and wandered with the current, letting the boat drift away with the water. From Fuyang to Tonglu, about a hundred miles, the strange mountains and the strange water are a unique beauty in the world.

The water is all lime green and the deep river water is crystal clear. Fish and fine sand and gravel swimming at the bottom of the river, looking all the way down without any obstacles. The swift current was faster than an arrow, and the big, swift waves were like fast horses running wild.

There are hardy evergreen trees growing on the high mountains on both sides of the Clipper River; (the mountains) compete with each other for height by virtue of their strength. (The mountains) compete with each other in towering straight upwards, forming thousands and hundreds of countless peaks. The water of the spring pounds against the rocks and makes a clear sound. The beautiful birds sing in harmony with each other. The cicadas chirped for a long time, and the apes and monkeys called incessantly for a long time. Those who, like eagles flying to the sky (desperately pursuing high positions for fame and fortune), look at the peaks here, and their hearts in pursuit of fame and fortune are calmed down; those who are busy with governmental affairs, seeing (these secluded) valleys, (will) linger on. The horizontal branches of the trees shade over them, and even in the daytime they are as dim as at dusk; the sparse branches are interspersed, and sometimes the sunlight can be seen (through the gaps in the branches and leaves).

2, Mr. Wu Liu biography

Tao Yuanming name potential,, the word Yuanliang, the number of Mr. Wu Liu, this article is actually his autobiography. Mr. Willow biography of the text of the words "not", in fact, is highlighting the author and the world's incompatibility, highlighting his high aspirations and personality of the insistence, making the article appears to be distinctive, read lively and vivid, a good expression of the Tao Yuanming bland and natural realm.

Originally Mr. I do not know who is also unknown, also not known his name, home side of the five willows, because I thought the number of焉闲静少言, do not adore glory and profit. Good (hào) reading, do not seek to understand; every will, will be happy to forget to eat. Sexual addiction (shì) wine, family poverty can not always get. When his relatives and old friends knew that he was like this, they would invite him to drink wine; he would always drink, and he would be drunk in the period. He was drunk and retired, and was not stingy (lìn) to stay or go. The ring plugs are rustic, not sheltered from the wind and sun; short brown (hè) wear knot, dan (dān) ladybird (piáo) repeatedly empty, yàn (yàn) as well. Often write articles to entertain themselves, quite (pō) show their own ambition. I'm not sure if I've ever seen anything like this before, but I'm sure I've never seen anything like this before.

The praise said: Qian (qián) Lou (lóu)'s wife said: "not chi (qī) chi in the poor and low, do not draw (jí) draw on the rich and powerful." What do you mean by "chóu" ("chóu")? I will goblet (xián) and write a poem to entertain my mind. The people of Wuhuai are the first and the second. What is the second most important thing about the people of Wuhuai? The people of the Ge Tian clan are the second most important?

The translated gentleman did not know what place he was from, nor did he know his surname or character. There were five willow trees next to his house, and he was called by this name. Mr. Idle and quiet and seldom speak, do not envy glory and wealth. Like to read, but only seek to understand the main points; every understanding of the contents of the book, will be so happy to forget to eat. He loved to drink, but his family was too poor to drink often. His relatives and friends knew that he had this hobby, and sometimes organized a banquet to entertain him; when he went to drink, he drank to his heart's content and expected to get drunk. （Whenever he got drunk, he went home and did not pretend to leave. His humble apartment was empty, not sheltered from the wind and rain; his coarse short clothes were patched, and the basket for serving food and the dipper for drinking water were often empty, but he remained calm and at ease. Often wrote articles for his own entertainment, slightly revealing his aspirations. He did not take gain or loss into account, and lived his life in this way.

Some people praised that Qianlou's wife once said, "He does not worry about being poor and lowly, and is not keen on getting rich and becoming an official." This is probably talking about people like Mr. Wuliu, right? Drinking wine while composing poems, happy for his own ambition. He was probably the people at the time of the Wu Huai Clan, or at the time of the Ge Tian Clan, wasn't he?

3. Horses Speak

Horses Speak is an essay by Han Yu, a famous writer of the Tang Dynasty. It was originally the fourth of Han Yu's Miscellaneous Speeches, and was written between the eleventh and sixteenth years of the reign of Zheng Yuan (795-800). The article expresses the author's strong indignation against the ruler's inability to recognize talents, destroying them and burying them. "Saying" is an ancient style of argumentation, used to state the author's views on certain issues in society.

Originally, there is Bole, and then there is a thousand li horse. The first is a horse with a thousand li, and the second is a thousand li. Therefore, even though there is a famous horse, it is only humiliated in the hands of slaves, and dies in the stable (cáo), but is not called a thousand li (千里).

The horse's thousand miles, a food (shí) or exhaust the corn (sù) a stone (dàn, the ancient pronunciation is shí). The one who eats (sì) the horse does not know that it can eat (sì) for a thousand miles. The horse, even though it has the ability of a thousand miles, is not full of food (shí), not enough strength, the talent and beauty is not seen (xiàn), and wants to be with the regular horse and so on can not be obtained, and I would like to see it can be a thousand miles also?

Curve is not in its way, food (sì) can not be full of its material, sounding and can not be through the meaning of the policy and pro, said: "the world no horse!" Woo-hoo! Is it true that there is no horse (yé)? He really does not know the horse.

TranslationThere is a Bole in the world first, and then there is a thousand-mile horse. Thousand-mile horses are often found, but Bole is not often found. Therefore, even if there is a good horse, it can only be humiliated in the hands of lowly people, and die in the stable with ordinary horses, without being called a thousand-li horse.

The horse that travels a thousand miles a day sometimes eats up a stone's worth of grain in one meal, and those who feed it do not feed it according to its ability to travel a thousand miles a day. Such a horse, although it has the ability to travel a thousand miles a day, is not well-fed, its strength is insufficient, and its talents and excellent qualifications cannot be shown, and it cannot even think of being the same as an ordinary horse, so how can it be asked to travel a thousand miles a day?

Whip it not according to the method of driving a thousand-mile horse, feed it but cannot feed it, so that its talents cannot be fully realized, and the horse neighs but cannot understand its meaning. Standing beside the horse with the whip in his hand, he said to the Thousand-Mile Horse, "There is no Thousand-Mile Horse in all the world!" Alas! Is it true that there is no Thousand-Mile Horse? It is really true that they do not know a thousand-lien horse.

4, Send Dongyang Ma Sheng Preface

Send Dongyang Ma Sheng Preface is an article sent by Song Lian of the Ming Dynasty to his fellow townsman, the young man Ma Junzhe of Dongyang County, Zhejiang Province, to encourage Ma Sheng to study hard.

Originally, I was addicted to learning when I was young. The family is poor, no books to see, every false borrowing in the book house, handwritten notes, counting the days to return. The day is very cold, the ink stone is hard, the finger can not flex, the Fozhi slack. Recorded, walk to send, do not dare to exceed the appointment. In order to be more people to book leave Yu, Yu because of the group of books can be viewed all over the book. Both the crown (guān), more adoration for the way of the sages. And suffered from no masters and celebrities and tour, I tend to a hundred miles away from the township of the first up to the Scriptures to ask questions. The first da's virtue and prestige, the disciples filled his room, did not taste a little lowering of the rhetoric. Yu stood and served around, aid in questioning the reasoning, stooped down and tilted his ears to ask; or meet its scolding (chì) duh (duō), color more respectful, more to the courtesy, do not dare to say a word to reply; once (sì) its pleasure, then again please. The first thing I did was to ask for the money, and then I was asked to pay it back.

When I was a teacher, I was traveling on a suitcase (qiè) and a pair of shoes (yè) in a huge valley in the mountains. Poor winter wind, snow depth of several feet, feet skin chapped (jūn) crack and do not know. To the house, four stiff (jìng) can not move, concubine (yìng) people holding soup Wo irrigation, to coverlet (qīn) embrace cover, for a long time and is and. The owner of the apartment and the traveler, the day to eat again, no enjoyment of fresh fat and taste. The students in the same house were all embroidered by (pī)绮(qǐ), wearing tasseled (yīng)-decorated hats, waisted white jade rings, wearing swords on the left, and prepared to stink (xiù) on the right, as if they were gods and goddesses; the rest of them were in the middle of the orange (yùn)-robes and shabby clothes, and they did not have the intention to admire the colors. I was not aware that the service of the mouth and body was not as good as that of a human being. I'm not sure if I'll be able to do that, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it.

The translation is that when I was a child, I was particularly fond of learning. But my family was so poor that I could not afford to buy books to read, so I used to borrow them from people who had a collection of books, copy them by hand, and return them on the appointed day. （Even when the weather was so cold that the water in the ink slab turned into hard ice and his fingers were too stiff to bend and straighten, he would not stop copying. When he had finished copying, he ran to deliver the book, not daring to go a little beyond the agreed period. As a result, people were willing to lend me books, and I was able to read a wide variety of books. Having reached adulthood, (I) admired the teachings of the sages even more, but I was worried that I would not be able to communicate with learned teachers and reputable people. I once traveled hundreds of miles to ask for advice from local elders who were moral and learned, with scriptures in hand. He was so respected that his room was filled with students (seeking his advice), but he did not soften his words or make his face more gentle. I stood beside him and waited respectfully, asking questions, inquiring into the reasoning, and bending my body and ears to ask for advice; and sometimes when I encountered the senior's rebuke, my expression became more respectful and my manners more considerate, not daring to say a single word in defense; and when he was pleased, I went to ask for advice again. Thus I was foolish, but in the end (I) managed to gain something.

When I studied with my teacher, I walked through deep depressions and huge gorges, carrying a book case and dragging my shoes on my back. In the bitter winter winds, stepping through several feet of snow, the skin on my feet ruptured from the cold and dryness without even realizing it. When I returned to the schoolhouse, my limbs were so stiff that I could not move, so the attendants washed me with hot water and wrapped me in a quilt for a long time before I warmed up. When I stayed at the inn, the innkeeper provided me with two meals a day, but there was nothing fresh and tasty to eat. The other students with whom I lived all wore splendid clothes, hats decorated with red bands and jewels, jade rings made of white jade around their waists, swords on their left sides, and incense pouches on their right sides, and looked radiant as if they were gods; but I lived among them in shabby clothes without any feeling of envy, (that is) because there was enough happiness in my heart (to study), and I did not feel that I was not as well-fed and well-dressed as others. I do not feel that I am inferior to others in food and clothing. The diligence and hard work of my study was probably like this.

5. Five Poems and Songs

(1) Gift for Le Tian on the Occasion of the First Meeting in Yangzhou

"Gift for Le Tian on the Occasion of the First Meeting in Yangzhou" is a seven-character poem written by Liu Yuxi of the Tang Dynasty. In the second year of the reign of Emperor Jingzong of the Tang Dynasty (826), Liu Yuxi returned to Luoyang after his dismissal from the post of assassin of Hezhou, and at the same time, Bai Juyi returned to Luoyang from Suzhou, and the two poets met in Yangzhou. The two poets met in Yangzhou, where Bai Juyi wrote a poem to present to them at a banquet: "Lead the cup for me and add wine to it, and sing with you with your chopsticks on the plate. The poet called himself a nationalist in vain, but his life was not to be denied. The scenery is long and lonely, and the official position is wasted. I also know that I have been broken by my talent and fame, but I have been broken too much in twenty-three years." Liu Yuxi then wrote to repay him.

Original text

Bashan and Chushui are desolate places, and I have abandoned my body for twenty-three years. I've been in the country for twenty-three years, and I've given up my life.

Thousands of sails have passed by the side of the sinking boat, and ten thousand trees have sprung up in front of the sick tree. Today, I will listen to you sing a song, and I will drink a glass of wine to keep my spirits up.

Translated in the Bashan Chushui these bleak places, I spent twenty-three years of fallen time.

Nostalgic for my old friends, I suddenly recited a small fugue on the flute, and felt that it was no longer the old days when I returned from my long deportation.

There are a thousand sailboats sailing by the side of the shipwreck, and ten thousand trees are fighting for spring in front of the sick and dying trees.

Today, I have listened to the psalms you have recited for me, and for the time being, I am invigorated by this cup of wine.

(2) Red Cliff

Seven Styles - Red Cliff is a poem by Du Mu, a poet of the Tang Dynasty. The poem describes a broken iron halberd sunk in the sand under the water has not yet been eroded, after they have been grinding and washing found that this is the year of the Battle of Red Cliff relics. Had it not been for the strong east wind that helped Zhou Yu to carry out a fire attack and defeat Cao Cao's army, the beautiful women of Eastern Wu, Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, would have been taken captive and locked up on the Bronze Sparrow Terrace for Cao Cao's domination.

Original text

The halberd sinks into the sand, the iron has not yet been canceled, since the scrubbing will recognize the previous dynasty. The east wind is not with Zhou Lang, and the bronze sparrow locks up the two Qiao in spring.

The broken halberd buried in the sand has not yet been corroded, and I recognized it as a weapon from the previous dynasty by scrubbing it myself. If the east wind had not given Zhou Lang convenience, the deep lock in the bronze platform would have been Er Qiao.

(3) Crossing Zero Dingyang

Wen Tianxiang, the author of "Crossing Zero Dingyang," wrote this poem when he was crossing Zero Dingyang in the first month of 1279. The poem outlines his own life and destiny, expresses his impassioned patriotic fervor and his high moral character of treating death as a home away from home, as well as his outlook on life of sacrificing one's life for righteousness, which is the highest manifestation of the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation.

Original text

The hard work was met with a scripture, and the stars were all around. The mountains and rivers are shattered, the winds are fluttering, and the rain is beating down on our lives.

Speaking of fear at the beach, sighing of fear in the ocean of zero ding. The first thing I'd like to say is that I'm not going to die, but I'm going to leave my heart in the hands of the people who are going to be with me.

Translation rely on their own hard work, proficient in a kind of scripture, and finally achieved the title, began a turbulent and arduous political career; from the leadership of the righteous army to fight against the Yuan soldiers since, after four whole years of hardship. The motherland's great rivers and mountains in the enemy's invasion of the fragmentation, like a gust of wind blowing willow flakes scattered; their own life experience is also turbulent, like a rainstorm under the impact of the floating duckweed bumps and sinks.　　Think of the former defeat in Jiangxi, from the fear of the beachhead evacuation scene, the treacherous rapids, the grim situation, so far, people are still terrified; think of last year's Wulingpo army was wiped out, caught in the hands of the enemy, and now in the vastness of the ocean, can only lament their own loneliness and bitterness. Since ancient times, who does not have a death in the world? The country's sacrifice, death is worthwhile, leaving this sincere heart shine in the history of it!

(4) Song of Songs in the Key of Water

This song was written by Su Shi when he was in Mizhou in the mid-autumn of 1076 A.D. (the ninth year of Emperor Xining of Emperor Shenzong of the Song Dynasty). It reflects the author's complex and contradictory thoughts and feelings. On the one hand, it shows that the author has great political ambitions, although he was already 41 years old at that time, and was in Mizhou far away from Kyoto, politically very unsatisfactory, but he was still full of confidence in the reality and ideals; on the other hand, due to political disillusionment, ideals can not be realized, the talent can not be used, and thus a strong dissatisfaction with the reality, and grows the passive avoidance of the world's thinking and feelings. However, it is the love of life and positive optimism that is expressed in the words that runs through all the time.

In the mid-autumn of the year Bichen, I got drunk and wrote this piece, remembering Ziyu at the same time.

The original civilization moon is a few times, drink wine and ask the blue sky. I don't know what year it is in the sky. I want to go back to the wind, but I am afraid that the jeweled buildings are too high to be cold. I want to go back by the wind, but I am afraid that the jeweled buildings are too high to be cold. I am afraid that I will not be able to sleep when I turn to the jade palace, and I am afraid that the jade palace will not be able to withstand the cold. There should not be hate, why is it always round when we part? People have their sorrows and joys, the moon has its own shade, and this matter can never be complete. But I wish that people will be long-lasting, and that they will be happy and happy for thousands of miles.

The translation of the Mid-Autumn Festival in the year of the C.C., happily drank (until) the morning of (the next) day, (until) he was very drunk, and wrote this (lyric), while remembering (his brother) Ziyu.

From whence comes the bright moon? Holding a glass of wine in my hand, I come to inquire about the blue sky. I don't know the palace in the sky, what year it is tonight. I want to return on the clear wind, but I am afraid that the jade building of the Moon Palace will not be able to withstand the coldness and wind chill of the towering nine heavens. Dancing and enjoying the clear shadow of the moon, how can returning to the Moon Palace be comparable to being on earth? The moon turns over the vermillion-red pavilion and hangs low on the carved windows, illuminating those who are not sleepy (referring to the poet himself). The moon shouldn't have any grudges against people, right, but why is it always round at the time of parting of loved ones? People have sadness and happiness, and the moon has the transition of sunshine and rain, this kind of thing since ancient times is difficult to be complete. But I hope that the departed can be safe and healthy, although thousands of miles apart, can *** enjoy this moonlight bright bright.

(5) Hillside Goats

"Hillside Goats-Tongguan Huaigu" was written when the author was passing through Tongguan Pass. In the second year of the Tianli era, there was a great drought in Guanzhong, and the starving people ate each other, so Zhang Yanghao was specially appointed as the middle minister of Shaanxi. Dengtian on the road, encountered the famine is the relief, the dead are buried." Zhang Yanghao wrote this song "Mountain Goat" at the time of the "Great Drought in Guanzhong".

Originally, the peaks of the mountains are like a gathering, the waves are like a fury, and the mountains and rivers are like the Tongguan Road. I'm looking at the western capital, and I'm hesitant. The sadness of the Qin and Han Dynasties, the palaces have all been turned into dirt. The people are suffering in the rise and the people are suffering in the fall.

TranslationThe peaks of Mount Hua seem to gather from all directions, and the waves of the Yellow River seem to be in a rage; there is the Yellow River outside the Tongguan Pass, and Mount Hua inside; the mountains and rivers are majestic, and the terrain is treacherous. I looked at the ancient capital Chang'an and thought a lot. (The mood is unpleasant.) What is sad is to pass by the ruins of the Qin and Han palaces and see the countless rooms of the palaces turned into mud. The people suffered when the feudal dynasty was established; they still suffered when the feudal dynasty fell.

6, small stone pool record

Small stone pool record, the Tang Dynasty poet Liu Zongyuan works. The full name of "small stone pool record" to small hill west small stone pool record. Record of a small stone pool" recounts the whole process of the author's tour, with beautiful language describes the "small stone pool" of the scenery, implicitly expresses the author was relegated to the sadness of the feelings of misery can not be discharged. In this paper, the lyricism is inclined to be colorful, strong emotions, or to recall the past, or sadness, or sadness, or worry about the country, or thinking of relatives and old, with a strong artistic infectivity to impress readers from generation to generation.

Originally from the hill westbound hundred and twenty steps, across the bamboo (huáng) bamboo, heard the sound of the water, such as ringing PeiHuan, heart music (lè). Cutting bamboo to take the road, under the small pool, the water is especially clean (liè). The whole stone for the bottom, near the shore, roll (juan) stone bottom to out, for his (chí), for the island (yǔ), for the Evidence (kān), for the rock. Green trees and green vines (màn), Mengluo shaking embellishment (zhuì), and different phi whisks.

The fish in the pool can be a hundred or so heads, all if the empty swim without a place to rely on. The sunlight is clear (通假字，通 "彻"，有版本为 "彻")，影布(于(在))石上，"secondarily"."(yǐ)然不动。 The ship is far away, and the ship moves in and out of the city. It seems to be happy with the swimmers.

Looking southwest of the pool, the bucket (dǒu) folded snake rows, visible in the light. Its bank situation dog teeth difference (cī) each other, can not know its source.

Sitting on the pool, the four sides of the bamboo tree ring, lonely (liáo) no one, miserable God cold bones, quiet (qiǎo) pathos (chuàng) profound (suì ). The world is too clear to live in for long, so I remembered it and went away.

The same swimmers: Wu Wuling, Gong (gōng) ancient, Yu brother Zongxuan. The (lì) and from the person, Cui's two young students: said forgiveness of self, said Feng Yi (yī).

TranslationFrom the hill to the westward walking one hundred and twenty paces like, across the bamboo forest, you can hear the sound of water, as if people hanging on the body of the jade pendant, jade ring collision with each other to make the sound, (I) heart is very happy. So I cut down the bamboo and made a path, and then I could see a small pool of exceptionally clear water as I walked down the path. （The bottom of the pool is formed by a block of stone, and near the shore, some parts of the bottom of the stone are rolled out of the water, forming various shapes such as a small rock reef, a small island, a small stone base, and a small rocky outcrop. Green trees, green vines, cover and entwine, shaking and linking, uneven, fluttering with the wind.

There were about a hundred or so fish in the pool, all swimming as if in the air, with nothing to cling to. The sunlight shone directly downward (to the bottom of the water), (the shadow of the fish) reflected in (the bottom of the water) on the rocky surface, stayed (stopped there) not moving; suddenly scurrying off into the distance, coming and going briskly and quickly, as if they were teasing with the swimmers.

Looking toward the southwest of the waterhole, the stream was twisting and turning like the Big Dipper and snakes crawling, one section visible and one section invisible. The terrain on both sides of the stream intersected each other like dog's teeth, and there was no telling where the stream originated (from).

Sitting at the edge of the pool, surrounded on all sides by bamboo and trees, silent and cold, no one, (the deep and sad atmosphere) makes people feel miserable, cold through the bones, (really) very quiet, very deep. Because the environment was too cold to stay for a long time, I wrote down the scene and left.

The people who went with me: Wu Wuling, Gong Gu, and my brother Zongxuan. I took with me two young men of the name of Cui: one was named Shuji and the other Bongyi.

7, yueyanglou ji

"yueyanglou ji" is a note written for the restoration of yueyanglou. By the Northern Song Dynasty literati Fan Zhongyan was invited by his good friend Teng Zijing, the guardian of Baling County, in the Northern Song Dynasty Qingli six years (1046 years) on September 15, made. The verses "worry about the world first, and rejoice in the joy of the world later" and "don't take things for granted, and don't feel sorry for yourself" are the more famous and more quoted lines. The "Records of the Yueyang Tower" has become famous not because of its description of the scenery of the Yueyang Tower, but because Fan Zhongyan used "Records of the Yueyang Tower" to express his feelings of worrying about the world before rejoicing, and worrying about the country and the people.

The original Qingli four years of spring, Teng Zijing banished (zhé) guard Baling County. The more next year, the political and human harmony, all the wastes are flourishing. It is to rebuild the Yueyang Tower, increase its old system, engraved Tang Xian present poems and fugitives on it. I have been working on this project for a long time, and I'm not sure if it's a good idea.

I see fú (fú) Baling victory, in the dongting a lake. Articulate distant mountains, swallow the Yangtze River, Hao Hao Tang Tang (shāng), across the endless; sunrise and sunset, the weather thousands of. This is a great view of the Yueyang Tower, the previous statement is ready. However, the north through the Witch's Gorge, the south pole of Xiaoxiang, the migrants, many will be here, the feeling of seeing things, there is no difference?

If the heavy rain (yín) rain, even the month is not open, the wind is angry, turbid waves in the air; the sun and stars hidden obsidian (yào), the mountains submerged shape; business travelers can not, boom (qiáng) pour oars (jí) destroyed; thin (bó) twilight meditative, the tiger whistles and apes cry. Dengsilou also, there is a country of nostalgia, worry about slander and ridicule, full of depression, feeling extreme and sad people carry on.

To if spring and Jingming, waves, up and down the sky light, a blue hectare; gulls gathered, Kam Scale swimming; shore Zhi Zhi (zhǐ) Ting (tīng) orchids, lush green. And or long smoke a sky, white moon thousands of miles, floating light jumping gold, quiet shadow sinking jewellery, fishing songs answering each other, this music how extreme! Ascending the building also, there is a relaxed and happy, forgetting the favor and humiliation, wine in the wind, the joy of it is carried out.

Contempt (jiē) Fu! I (yú) try to seek the heart of ancient benevolence, or different from the two for, why? Do not be happy with things, not to their own sadness; living in the high temple is worried about its people; at (chǔ) far from the lake is worried about its king. It is also worrying when you enter, and worrying when you leave. But when to be happy? It must be said that "the world's worries first, after the world's happiness and joy". Yelp (yī)! I'm not sure if I'll be able to get back to you, but I'm sure I'll be able to get back to you.

Then six years on September 15th.

The translation of the spring of the fourth year of Qingli, Teng Zijing demoted to Yuezhou as a governor. In the second year, the political affairs went smoothly, the people were happy, and many deserted undertakings were prospered.

Organized. So he rebuilt the Yueyang Tower, enlarged it to its former size, engraved poems on it by sages of the Tang Dynasty and modern people, and instructed me to write an essay to recount this event.　

I look at the beautiful scenery of that Baling, all on the Dongting Lake. Dongting Lake connects the mountains in the distance and gulps the flowing water of the Yangtze River, which is vast and wide. The sun shines brightly in the morning, the mist and gloom in the evening, the climate is ever-changing, and this is the majestic and magnificent scene I saw when I climbed Yueyang Tower. He has been described in great detail by his predecessors. Since this is the case, then this place leads to the Witch Gorge to the north and directly to the Xia and Xiang waters to the south, where most of the officials who were demoted and transferred far away and the poets who chanted poems and composed poems gathered. How can the feelings that depart from seeing the natural scenery not be different?　

Like the rainy days, months without sunshine, cold winds roar, turbid waves rush to the sky, the sun and the stars hide the light, the mountains are hidden; merchants and travelers can not pass, masts down, oars broken; evening sky dark, the tiger whistles, apes in the wailing. Climbing such a Yueyang Tower, there will be a kind of leaving the capital of the country, nostalgic for home, worried about slander, afraid of ridicule, full of bleak and cold look, must be overwhelmed with emotion and sadness.　

As for the season of warm spring breeze and sunshine, the lake surface is calm and quiet, the upper and lower sky colors reflect each other, a turquoise, vast; sand gulls sometimes fly, sometimes stop, beautiful fish swim around in the lake; the grass on the lakeshore, the orchid on the small continent, the aroma is strong, the color is verdant. And sometimes a large area of smoke completely dissipated, bright moonlight a cascade of light, lake fluctuations, floating on the surface of the moonlight glittering with gold points of light, the lake is calm when the moon shadow in the water seems to sink a jade jade jade, the fisherman's song a song, such a pleasure which has no exhaustion! Climbed such Yueyang Tower, there will be a kind of heart open, the spirit of pleasure, honor, disgrace, gain and loss all forgotten, in the breeze blowing in the end up being drunk, the mood is really happy happy!　Alas! I have explored the thoughts of people of high moral character in ancient times, they may be different from the above two moods, why? They did not feel either happy or sad because of the good or bad of external things and personal gains or losses; they were worried about their people when they were officials at the court; they were worried about the king when they were in the remote rivers and lakes. He worries when he is an official, and he worries when he is not an official. So, when is one happy? It must be said, "Worry before the world is worried, and be happy after the world is happy", right? Alas! If there is no such person, who will I be with?
