Of course
Stork Tower in Shanxi, Tengwang Pavilion in Nanchang, Jiangxi, Yellow Crane Tower in Wuhan, Hubei, and Yueyang Tower in Yueyang, Hunan are collectively known as the four most famous buildings in China
"Antarctica" Xiaoxiang, connected to Wu Gorge in the north." This is the couplet at the Yueyang Tower. Climbing up the stairs, the Millennium Tower is towering there. At the main entrance of the building, there is an incense burner made of pig iron. The color is old, has it aged? When I asked, it turned out to be a piece of history. Climbing the stairs, you will see the statue of Master Fan, embroidered clothes and scarves, making wine into the wind. Going up to the third floor, you can see Junshan Mountain in Dongting Lake. Upstairs in Yueyang, facing Junshan, drunken sleeves caressing the lanterns; it’s time to sigh, right? ——The water and sky are the same color, and the wind and moon are boundless!
Yueyang Tower
Trace back to its origins.
It is said that during the Three Kingdoms period, Lu Su, the general of Wu State, trained naval forces in Dongting Lake. Dongting Lake, a vast area of ??800 miles, is vast and vast. Since the creation of the world, this lake has been ranked among the Chinese lakes, and it can be regarded as the boss of the lake. Lu Su stood on the shore of this big lake, directing the sailors to drill every day, but he was not happy. Why? Just because I don’t have a good commanding height under my feet, I can’t look far enough! But seeing General Lu, he waved his hand and his men immediately built a high platform. It was a military parade platform and the predecessor of Yueyang Tower.
Lu Su
More than five hundred years later, in the fourth year of Kaiyuan of the Tang Dynasty (716 AD), Zhang Shuo was ordered by Zhongshu to be relegated to Yuezhou. This piece says that during the Tang Dynasty and the four dynasties, he served in various positions, ranging from Zhongshu Ling to Prefectural Guard, from high official to small official, and there was resentment in his heart. When you come to Yuezhou, how can you not go to the shore of Dongting Lake to reminisce about the past? After going back and forth, I ended up feeling pregnant with emotion. The ancients have disappeared, and Lu Su has already made the ground beneath his feet. Mr. Zhang stood on the military parade platform. Baling looked at Dongting Autumn and sighed for a while. Zhang's parents said, build a pavilion here! Just build a building. Poor Yuezhou City, all the craftsmen have become busy ants.
When the building started, it was originally named Nan Tower, which was not very loud. Later it was renamed Yueyang Tower. Alas! A famous building has stood at the west gate of Yuezhou since then. There were so many good stories at that time that attracted countless sluts to climb up.
I don’t have the talent to be a poet, and I am too humble to be elegant, but I still have to climb the stairs. Just because, if I don’t climb the Yueyang Tower, I would be embarrassed to be a Yueyang person! You can't go climbing often. It's a market economy now. If you want to climb a building, you have to pay money first. Climbing Yueyang Tower, visiting Dongting, and climbing Junshan Mountain don’t cost much, just a few days’ worth of food, right? This price is a no-brainer, and even if Li Bai comes, he won't be able to get a good deal.
Li Bai did come, but that was one thousand two hundred and forty-three years ago (759 AD). Of course Li Bai had to recite poems when he came, he is a poet! What a Li Bai, he only took a brief look at the famous buildings and the big lake, and his poetry came out. Li Bai's poem said: "The tower overlooks the end of Yueyang, the river is far away from the Dongting. The wild geese lead away the sorrowful heart, and the mountain carries a good moon." Someone applauded on the spot, don't worry, there is still more. "I stay in the clouds and receive cups in the sky. When I'm drunk, the cool breeze blows and my sleeves are blown back."
Li Bai
He is truly worthy of being a poet. Go upstairs and watch. The lake is also floating. It was said that he was lying drunk in the clouds, drinking from a cup, and the cool breeze was blowing, and our family just couldn't help but dance with him. Only a romantic like Li Bai could create such refined poetry. I am also romantic, I also drink alcohol, and I am also drunk. I looked at the famous building under the moon with my drunken eyes, and after being excited for a long time, I said: Who knows who died drunk in front of the building? This exclamation shows the big difference between ancient and modern times!
Ten years after Li Bai ascended the Yueyang Tower, Mr. Du Gongzimei from Henan came. Du Fu is a sage of poetry. The name of this poet saint was given to him by future generations. Previously, Du Fu was depressed and could only work as a small official as big as a mung bean. They also care about the country and the people, and sympathize with the disadvantaged groups. He doesn't like romance anymore. Du Fu, who didn't like romance, felt very sad when he climbed the Yueyang Tower. His poem "Ascending Yueyang Tower" will make anyone who has read it sigh.
"I heard about Dongting water in the past, and now I go up to Yueyang Tower. Wu and Chu are in the southeast, and the universe floats day and night. There are no relatives and friends, and the old and sick have lonely boats. The soldiers and horses pass through the north of the mountain, and Pingxuan tears are flowing."
It is not just Du Fu’s pessimism, but a reflection of his circumstances. When writing this poem, the poet lived in Yueyang. In the late winter, "the stagnation is hard to end, and the hardships and dangers are increasing." How could he not shed tears and runny noses in Xuanshi? Du Fu, an unromantic realist, died miserably on a small boat from Tanzhou to Yuezhou a year later. My heart aches when I think of Du Fu's desolation. There is a saying to prove it: When you come to the wine table, ask who will pour it? The eternal poetry has turned into a lake of water... This emotion is no different in ancient and modern times!
Time flashed again, to the Song Dynasty around 1044 AD. Fujizijing was demoted to Yuezhou.
Fujizijing, who was born as a Jinshi, served as the magistrate of Yuezhou for a year, and "the government was well-organized and people were harmonious, and all kinds of wastes were prospered." Have political achievements. With political achievements, leisure and leisure will come. After seeing Baling's victory, I couldn't be more happy. What's the matter? Yueyang Tower is dilapidated! Then repair the Yueyang Tower. So Fujiko built the tower, Fan Zhongyan wrote notes, Su Shunqin wrote elixirs, and Shao (Lishu) made seals. The Yueyang Tower became one of the "four wonders in the world".
Fan Zhongyan
The most unique is Fan Zhongyan's "Yueyang Tower". Fan Zhongyan said that most of the poets who moved abroad would come here, and the feeling of looking at the things would be the same. Of course it's different, why is it different? Climb the tower, go to the country and miss your hometown, and be afraid of slander and ridicule. This is far away from the world. Climbing the tower makes you feel relaxed and happy. This is as high as a temple. None of them are good! Fan Zhongyan said, we must "be sad when the world is sad first, and be happy when the world is happy later"! This is how the famous sayings that have been recited through the ages came into being. It is indeed a quote from a famous person who takes the rise and fall of the world as his own responsibility. A story about a building can also alert the world. I once climbed the Yueyang Tower in the snow, and stood there in a dangerous building. The wind was blowing hard, the pear blossoms were dancing, and my nose was so cold that my nose ran straight. I took a picture of the railing at that time and lamented that being elegant is not easy. "Yueyang Tower" is not fully understood. What a big difference between ancient and modern times!
There are too many literati and poets who come to Yueyang Tower, too many to count. There are only two hundred and dozens of poems left. You cannot get to the bottom of everything one by one and express it one by one. Leave it to those who care. The most touching thing about a building is "Yueyang Tower". "The Story of Yueyang Tower" is still hanging on the Yueyang Tower, which makes us viewers feel ashamed. My generation is not as good as Fan Zhongyan. Our generation is always frustrated when we advance and retreat, and we are unhappy. Why? Eager for quick success and worry about gains and losses.
