In the spring of the fourth year of Qingli, Teng Zijing was relegated to guard Baling County.
After the Yue Dynasty, the government was in harmony with the people, and everything was destroyed, so the Yueyang Tower was rebuilt, its old structure was added, and poems and poems by Tang Xian and modern people were engraved on it, and I wrote a composition to record it. I occupied a place for Guanfu Balingsheng, at a lake in Dongting.
It holds the distant mountains, swallows up the Yangtze River, is vast and boundless, with morning light and evening shadow, and a myriad of weather conditions. This is the grand view of the Yueyang Tower, which has been described by predecessors.
However, it is connected to Wu Gorge in the north and Xiaoxiang in the South Pole. Many immigrants and poets will come here, and the feeling of looking at the things is the same? If you occupy the position, the rain is falling, the moon is not open, the wind is howling, the turbid waves are emptying, the sun and stars are dim, the mountains are invisible, business travel is impossible, the rafters are toppling and destroyed, the dusk is dark, the tigers roar and the apes cry. When you climb the tower, you will feel nostalgic for your country, worried about slander and fear of ridicule, your eyes will be full of desolation, and you will feel extremely sad.
Occupy the position until spring and the scenery are bright, the waves are calm, the sky above and below is bright, a vast expanse of blue, sand gulls gather in the sky, golden scales swim, the shore is full of orchids, and the green is lush. Or when the long smoke disappears, the bright moon shines thousands of miles away, floating light dances, silent shadows sink into the jade, and fishermen answer each other's songs, how wonderful is this joy! When you climb the tower, you will feel relaxed and happy, forgetting your favors and disgrace together, drinking wine in the wind, and you will be overjoyed.
Occupy a seat! Why should I try to seek the benevolent heart of the ancients or do something different from the two? Don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself. If you live high in a temple, you will worry about its people. If you live far away from the rivers and lakes, you will worry about your king. It means that you are worried when you advance, and you are also worried when you retreat. But when will you be happy? It must be said, "Be worried about the worries of the world first, and be happy after the joys of the world"! Alas! People from Weisi, who can I return to? The date of enthronement was September 15th, the sixth year.
