Perhaps it was a beautiful environment created by God and preserved by the earth in order to give it to the person who deserves it? Since Hongzhong was demoted from the official position of Wailang to Lianzhou, the places he passed on the road were as follows: from Lantian to Shangluo, wading through the fast Zhejiang River, arriving at the Han River, and climbing to the Xianshou Mountain. From here you can see Fangcheng, then leave Jingmen Mountain, go down the Yangtze River, cross Dongting Lake, go up the Xiang River, go to the foot of Hengshan Mountain, and then cross Qitian Ridge from Chenzhou. Wherever he went, there were mountains where apes and monkeys made their home, rivers and lakes where fish and dragons lived, and he admired all kinds of magnificent and strange scenery in deep waters and distant mountains. Apparently he was tired of hearing about mountains and rivers. Nowadays, his love for mountains and rivers is still unsatisfied. "The Analects of Confucius" says: "The wise enjoy water, and the benevolent enjoy mountains." Hongzhong's moral character and his hobbies can be said to be in harmony. Because of his wisdom, he obtained the beautiful place of Yanxi Pavilion, and because of his kindness, he was able to live here. From this, I know that it will not be long before he is appointed by the court and leaves Lianzhou to occupy a distinguished position. . So I wrote this inscription and engraved it on the stone tablet.
