The first song is "The Story of Yueyang Tower":

This was written by Fan Zhongyan on September 15, the sixth year of Qingli in the Northern Song Dynasty, at the request of his friend Teng Zijing, the governor of Baling County, to rebuild the Yueyang Tower. of. Among them, the famous sayings throughout the ages, "Be worried about the worries of the world first, and be happy after the joys of the world" and "Don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself" are still recited and quoted today. This poem's profile of Dongting Lake sets off the Yueyang Tower.

He advised his friends to "not be happy with things, not to be sad with oneself", and tried to infect old friends with his world-saving feelings and optimistic spirit of "worrying about the world first, and rejoicing after the world's happiness". Similarly, this sentence can be said to be an eternal famous line in patriotic poems. Every time I read it, I feel full of power in my heart. A few famous lines are selected from the poem:

Don’t be happy with things, don’t be sad with yourself.

If you live high in a temple, you will worry about your people; if you live far away from the rivers and lakes, you will worry about your ruler.

Be worried about the world’s worries first, and be happy after the world’s happiness.

The second poem is "The Fisherman's Proud Autumn Thoughts":

A poem written by Fan Zhongyan when he was the deputy economic envoy of Shaanxi Province and knew Yanzhou. It expresses the heroic spirit and hard life of the soldiers, with a broad and desolate artistic conception. It describes the desolate scene on the border and the longing of the border guards to return home. Every time I read it, I always have lingering helplessness and deep thoughts about the war. I can't help but sigh when I think about the emotions the poet expressed when he was frustrated.

Among them, "A cup of dirty wine can lead to a home thousands of miles away, but there is no way for the swallow to return home" has made many people cry. They miss their homes and relatives but cannot return. The scenery outside the Great Wall is indifferent, and so are the people's hearts. The original text of the poem:

The scenery is different when autumn comes in the fortress, but the geese in Hengyang leave without paying attention. Sounds echoed from all sides. Thousands of miles away, the long smoke sets and the sun sets, solitary city closed.

A glass of dirty wine can lead to a home thousands of miles away, but there is no plan to return home before it is too late. Qiang Guan is covered with frost all over the ground. When people don't sleep, the general's hair turns gray and his husband sheds tears.

The third song is "Su Muzhe·Nostalgia":

This is a poem describing the nostalgia of traveling abroad. It describes the vast scenery of Jiangye and outlines an autumn landscape. When reading it, we can feel the poet's emotions of being unable to sleep at night, drinking to relieve his sorrow, and missing his hometown. We can see that Fan Zhongyan uses powerful pen power to express his melancholy, showing the soft side of his lyrics.

Every time I read "Wine enters the heart of sorrow and turns into tears of lovesickness", I can't help but feel sad. As the saying goes, drinking to relieve sorrow makes the sorrow worse, but how many people know the mood at that time. Fan Zhong'an's poem had a great influence on later literary creation. The "Farewell at Changting Pavilion" in later Wang Shifu's "The Romance of the West Chamber" directly used the first two sentences of this poem, "Blue sky, yellow leaves," and changed it to "Blue sky, yellow flowers." The original text of the poem:

The sky is blue, the ground is yellow leaves, the autumn colors are rolling, and the cold smoke is green on the waves. The mountains reflect the setting sun, the sky meets the water, and the fragrant grass is ruthless, even outside the setting sun.

The soul of the dark country, chasing the thoughts of the journey, unless every night, good dreams leave people to sleep. I rested and leaned alone high in the Mingyue Tower. The wine filled my heart with sadness, turning into tears of lovesickness.

Fan Zhongyan has only five poems in existence. Although the number is small, the first one is popular and plays an important role in the development of Song Dynasty poetry. Fan Zhongyan's famous sayings and noble thoughts have been handed down to this day, and they are worthy of being read and paid tribute by future generations.
