Look at the feeling of things, and you can get nothing unusual.

There is nothing unusual about seeing things: the feeling caused by seeing natural scenery will probably be different.

"There is nothing unusual about how you feel about things" Source: Yueyang Tower.

Fan Zhongyan (989- 1052) was born in Gong Ji, Fan Wenzheng, and Wuxian, Suzhou (now Wuxian, Jiangsu), a politician, strategist and writer in the Northern Song Dynasty. Yueyang Tower is located at the foot of Baqiu Mountain in the northwest of Yueyang City, Hunan Province. It is three stories high and faces Dongting Lake. Its predecessor was the parade platform of Lu Su, commander-in-chief of the State of Wu during the Three Kingdoms period. In the fourth year of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty (7 16), it was said that a pavilion named Yueyang Tower was built in the former site of the parade platform, and he often went upstairs with the scribes to write poems.

1. Note: Teng (zhé) guarded Baling County (jún): Teng was demoted as the prefect of Yuezhou. Teng Amethyst's name is Zong Liang, which is his word and Fan Zhongyan's friend. In ancient times, friends were often matched by words. Zhen Chen ①: Condemn; Blame. Zuozhuan? Seventeen years as a civil servant: "Guo Zi ~ me. “②& lt； Move >: be demoted to be an official. Pipaxing: "~ Living in sick Xunyang City. “③& lt； Name > disadvantages; Neglect of Laozi: "Good words are flawless ~"

2. Translation:

In the spring of Li Qing's fourth year, Teng was demoted as the satrap of Baling. In the second year, political affairs were smooth, people were happy, and various waste businesses were established one after another. So the Yueyang Tower was rebuilt, the original scale was expanded, and the poems of Tang Dynasty and contemporary celebrities were engraved on it. Entrust me to write an article about it.

I saw the beautiful scenery of Baling County, all on Dongting Lake. It connects the distant mountains and breathes the water of the Yangtze River. It is vast and boundless, and the weather is changeable in one day. This is a magnificent sight of Yueyang Tower. The previous account is (already) very detailed. Even so, most of the relegated officials and poets meet here, and the feelings caused by watching the natural scenery will probably be different.

Just like that rainy day, it didn't clear up for months, the cold wind roared and the turbid waves rushed to the sky; The sun, the moon and the stars cover their brilliance, and the mountains cover their appearance; Businessmen and passengers couldn't get through, the mast fell and the oars broke; At night, it is dark, tigers are whistling and apes are crying. Climbing this building, you will have a feeling of leaving the capital, missing your hometown, worrying about others speaking ill of you, and being afraid of being criticized. Your eyes are full of depression and your feelings are extremely sad.

When the spring breeze is warm and the sun is shining, the lake is calm and there are no stormy waves. The sky is connected with the lake and green is boundless. Gulls fly and stop on the sandbar, beautiful fish swim around, herbs on the shore and orchids on the small continent are lush. Sometimes the smoke disappears completely, the bright moonlight pours away, the fluctuating light flashes golden light, the quiet moon shadow sinks into the jade in the water, and the fishing song rings between you and me. This kind of fun (really) is endless! When you climb this building, you will feel open-minded and happy, and at the same time you will forget the glory and humiliation. Holding a glass and blowing a breeze is really very happy.

Alas! I have also discussed the thoughts and feelings of ancient virtuous people before, which may be different from the above two kinds of people. Why? Don't be happy or sad because of the quality of foreign things and your own gains and losses. When he was an official in the imperial court, he was concerned with the people; If you are not an official in the Jianghu, you are worried about the monarch. In this way, I am worried about being an official in the imperial court, and I am also worried about being in a remote Jianghu. In this case, when will they feel happy? They will definitely say, "Worry about the world first, and enjoy the world later." Alas! Without such a person, who am I with?
