Lyrics of Yueyang Tower by Bao Peng

Fan Zhongyan in Yueyang Tower

In the spring of the fourth year of Qingli, Teng Zijing was relegated to baling county.

Next year, there will be a great deal of peace and harmony.

It is to rebuild Yueyang Tower and add its old system,

It is engraved with poems of the wise and modern people of the Tang Dynasty. It belongs to the composition.

Yu Guanfu baling Shengzhuang, in Dongting Lake.

The title of Yuanshan, swallow the Yangtze River, vast soup, horizontal boundless;

The sun is shining in the morning and the sky is overcast in the evening.

This is the Grand View of Yueyang Tower,

I'm ready for what the predecessors have said.

However, it leads to Wu Gorge in the north, Xiaoxiang in the south pole, and a troupe of immigrants,

Many will be here, the feeling of reading things, get no different?

If it rains heavily, it will not open for a month,

The wind howled, the waves emptied, the sun and stars were hidden, and the mountains were hidden;

Business travel is not good, masts tilt boats to destroy the dusk, tigers roar and apes cry.

Dengsilou also has the opportunity to go home,

He who is afraid of ridicule is full of sorrow.

As if spring and scenery were bright, the waves were calm,

Up and down the sky, a vast expanse of green, gulls Xiangji, Jin scale swimming;

Shore Zhi Tinglan, gloomy green.

Or long smoke, bright moon,

Floating light leaping gold, still shadow sinking Bi, fishermen's songs answering each other, how happy is this!

When you ascend the tower, you will feel relaxed and happy, and you will forget your love and disgrace,

When you drink, you will be happy.

Ho Fu! To taste the heart of ancient benevolent people,

What is the difference between the two?

not pleased by external gains, not saddened by personal losses;

Living high in the temple worries the people;

If you are far away from the river, you will worry about your king.

It is also a worry to advance and a worry to retreat. But when will you be happy?

It must be said that "worry about the world first, and enjoy the world later.".

Gee! Weisi people, who will return?
