1. "The Story of Yueyang Tower" is an article written for the reconstruction of the Yueyang Tower. Notes written by Yueyang Tower.

It was written by Fan Zhongyan, a writer of the Northern Song Dynasty, at the invitation of his friend Teng Zijing, the governor of Baling County, on September 15, the sixth year of Qingli in the Northern Song Dynasty (1046). It is generally believed that Fan Zhongyan was This prose was written in Dengzhou City, Henan Province, so it did not climb the Yueyang Tower. Among them, the poems "Be worried about the worries of the world first, and be happy after the joys of the world" and "Don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself" are the more famous and frequently quoted sentences.

"The Story of Yueyang Tower" has become a famous book handed down from generation to generation not because of its description of the scenery of Yueyang Tower, but because Fan Zhongyan used "The Story of Yueyang Tower" to express his worries first and happiness later, and his concern for the country and the people. The original text of "The Story of Yueyang Tower" is selected from "Fan Wenzhenggong Collection". The author Fan Zhongyan (989-1052) of the Northern Song Dynasty, courtesy name Xiwen, posthumous title Wenzheng, was a politician, writer and military strategist in the Northern Song Dynasty.

He was born in poverty, lost his father when he was young, his mother remarried, went out to study, and worked hard. He had great ambitions since he was a child, and when he was a scholar, he "took the world as his responsibility." Later, he was demoted because he offended Prime Minister Lu Yijian.

Later, he served as a counselor for political affairs. He once put forward suggestions for reforming current shortcomings such as equalizing land taxes, but was demoted again. Later, he died of illness on the way to Yingzhou to take office.

This article was written in 1046. Fan Zhongyan was demoted to Dengzhou, Henan. In 1047, Teng Zijing rebuilt Yueyang Tower and asked Fan Zhongyan to write it down. Because they were both demoted, they had the same thoughts and feelings. , so the article is full of feelings of inspiring friends, which not only expresses the author's lofty ambitions of caring about the country and the people, but also expresses the meaning of comfort and guidance to friends. 2. The original text of the work is Yueyang Tower. In the spring of the fourth year of Qingli, Teng Zijing was relegated (zhé) to guard Baling County.

In the next year, the government will be harmonious and people will be harmonious, and everything will be prosperous. Then he rebuilt Yueyang Tower, added its old structure, engraved poems and poems by Tang Xian and modern people on it, and wrote a composition to record them.

I watched my husband Baling Sheng look like him at a lake in Dongting. It holds the distant mountains and swallows the Yangtze River, and the vast water (shāngshāng) stretches endlessly; the sun shines in the morning and the evening falls, and the weather is endless.

This is the grand view of Yueyang Tower, which has been prepared by predecessors. However, it is connected to Wu Gorge in the north and Xiaoxiang in the South Pole. Migrant poets and poets often meet here, and the feeling of looking at the things is the same?

The wind howled, and the turbid waves emptied; the sun and stars disappeared [4], and the mountains disappeared [5]; the business trip was not possible, and the rafters collapsed. It is destroyed[6]; in the dusk, tigers roar and apes crow.

When climbing the tower, there are those who are nostalgic for their country, worried about slander and fear of ridicule[7], with desolate eyes and extremely sad feelings. When spring comes and the scenery is bright, the waves are calm, and the sky above and below is a vast expanse of blue [8]; sand gulls gather in the sky, and the golden scales swim [9]; the shore is covered with orchids, lush and green.

Or when the long smoke disappears[10], the bright moon shines thousands of miles away, the floating light leaps into the gold, the silent shadow sinks into the jade[11], and the fishermen answer each other's songs, what a joy it is! 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.

Sigh! 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 [12].

If you live high in a temple, you will worry about your people; if you live far away from the rivers and lakes, you will worry about your ruler[13]. It means that you are worried when you advance, and you are also worried when you retreat.

But when will it be happy? It must be said, "Be worried about the worries of the world first, and be happy after the joys of the world" [14]! Alas! People from Weisi, who can I return to? [15] 3. Breaking the topic This article is a note written for the reconstruction of Yueyang Tower. It is rich in content and rich in emotion. It naturally combines narrative, scene description, discussion, and lyricism. It not only explains the story of the matter, but also describes the scenery of the lake.

The article expresses the author's broad mind of "not to be happy with things, not to be sad with oneself" and "worry about the world's worries first, and then the world's happiness" through the analysis and discussion of the feelings of joy or sadness of the poets when they climb the stairs. and happy” political ambition.

In the second year, political affairs went smoothly, the people were happy, and all the abandoned projects were started. So the Yueyang Tower was rebuilt, expanded to its original size, and the best and modern poems of the Tang Dynasty were engraved on it.

Ask me to write an article to describe this incident. I see that all the good scenery in Baling County is concentrated on Dongting Lake.

Dongting Lake connects distant mountains and flows through the Yangtze River. It is vast and boundless. It can be cloudy or sunny in the morning or evening (in a day), and the scenery is ever-changing. This is the majestic scene of Yueyang Tower.

The previous accounts are (already) very detailed. In this case, Dongting Lake leads directly to Wu Gorge in the north and Xiaoshui River and Xiangshui River in the south. Most of the poets who were demoted and failed poets gathered here. The emotions triggered by seeing the natural scenery will probably be different. Bar.

Like that time when it rains continuously and does not clear up for several months, the cold wind roars, and the turbid waves rush into the sky; the sun and stars hide their brilliance, and the mountains disappear into shape; businessmen and travelers cannot As we move forward, the mast falls and the oars break; in the evening, the sky becomes dark, the tigers roar and the apes cry. When you climb up this building, you will leave the capital, miss your hometown, worry about (people) saying bad things, and fear (people). ) criticized and accused, and when I looked at it, I saw a scene of depression, which made me very emotional and very sad in my heart. As for when the spring breeze is warm and the sun shines brightly, the lake surface is calm and there are no stormy waves. The sky and lake light meet, and the sky is green and vast. The sand gulls sometimes fly and sometimes stop.

3. Fan Zhongyan's Classical Chinese Prose

Original text:

Fan Zhongyan, courtesy name Xiwen, was the Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty. Zhong Yan was orphaned when he was two years old. His mother was the Zhu family of Changshan, so we named her according to her surname. He had little ambition, but when he grew up and knew his family, he wept and bid farewell to his mother, and went to Yingtian Mansion, where he lived with his relatives and literature. Day and night are endless, the winter moon is very tired, and water is used to enrich the noodles; food is not provided, and rice porridge is followed, which makes people unbearable. He was promoted to Jinshi and joined the army as the manager of the Guangde Army. He welcomed his mother back to his home. When he was promoted to an official position during the Jiedu period of the Jiqing Army, his surname was returned and his first name was changed.

In the seventh year of Tiansheng, the Empress Dowager Zhang Xian will accept the dynasty during the winter solstice, and the emperor will lead all officials to celebrate their birthdays. Zhong Yan said extremely, and said: "If you keep relatives in the house, you have your own family etiquette. You should be in the same row as the officials and face the south. It cannot be a law for future generations." Shangshu asked the Queen Mother to return to power, but did not repay the favor. He went to find Hezhong Prefecture and moved to Chenzhou.

He paid homage to Wai Lang, a member of the Ministry of Official Affairs, and to the Tianzhang Pavilion, and was summoned back, sentenced to Imperial College, and moved to Kaifeng Prefecture, a member of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and Quan Zhi. At that time, Lu Yijian was in power, and many people who came in and used it came out. Zhong Yan's "Hundred Officials Map" refers to the next day: "This is the order of movement, this is not the next, this is public, and this is private. In addition to advancing and retreating close ministers, anyone who exceeds the qualifications should not be appointed as prime minister." Jane was displeased. The next day, when discussing the matter of building a capital, Zhong Yan said: "Luoyang is dangerous and solid, but Bian is the place of the Four Wars. It is peaceful and suitable to live in Bian, so if you have something to do, you must live in Luoyang. You should gradually save money and repair palaces." The emperor asked Yi Jian, Yi Jian said: "This is Zhongyan's erudite theory." Zhongyan dedicated four theories, mostly ridiculing current affairs. And he said: "Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty believed in Zhang Yu and did not doubt his uncle's family, so there was a new disaster. I am afraid that Zhang Yu will happen today and ruin your majesty's family law." The Yi Jian complained angrily: "Zhong Yan alienated your majesty and his ministers. Quoting, they are all friends. "Zhong Yan was very friendly, so he knew Raozhou. Han Du, the imperial censor in the palace, requested the Prime Minister to write to Zhong to suppress his cronies and expose the lack of power in the court. So Secretary Cheng Yu Jing said: "Zhong Yan disobeyed the prime minister with one word and suddenly demoted him. How about what he said before is between your majesty, mother and son? Since your majesty is so kind, I would like to change my previous order." Next year, even if the Yi bamboo slips are made, the theory of being a clique will be on the rise. The Yi bamboo slips came to the prime minister again, and the emperor ordered Zhongyan to relieve his regrets. Zhongyan thanked him and said: "I have no regrets about the affairs of the country when I am in my hometown."

Zhongyan was strong on the inside and gentle on the outside. , non-guests don’t value meat. The wife can only provide food and clothing for herself. He is fond of giving and loves good deeds. On the day of death, all who hear it from all over the world will sigh. ("History of the Song Dynasty? Biography of Fan Zhongyan") 4. Translation of Fan Zhongyan's classical Chinese

Fan Zhongyan, courtesy name Xiwen, was born in Wuxian County, Suzhou. Fan Zhongyan became an orphan at the age of two. His mother remarried to the Changshan Zhu family, taking their surname. Now that he has grown up and knows the generations of his family, he bid farewell to his mother with tears in his eyes. He Yingtianfu followed Qi Tongwen's study. Day and night, I am very tired in winter, so I wash my face with water; I don't have food to eat, and as for the inheritance of porridge, people can't bear it, but Fan Zhongyan doesn't suffer. He passed the imperial examination and joined the army as the manager of the Guangde Army. He just returned to his surname.

Yan Shu was the magistrate of Tianfu. He heard that Fan Zhongyan was famous and asked him to set up a mansion to study. Fan Zhongyan was familiar with the Six Classics and was good at the Book of Changes. Scholars mostly inquired and explained the classics without any trouble. He once used his salary to feed tourists from all over the world. When his sons got dressed and went out, Fan Zhongyan was calm.

Hezhong Prefecture passed the inspection and was diverted to Chenzhou. At that time, the imperial court was building Taiyi Palace and Hongfuyuan, and the wood was in the Shaanxi market.

We should stop building temples and reduce the amount of timber on the market to avoid being owed."

Ren Shenzhi Political Affairs . When Hui Sima Lun invaded Huainan, some prefecture and county magistrates could not defend it, and the court wanted to kill him.

⒀Purpose : Essentials 6. Classical Chinese translation of "Fan Zhongyan Shangshu"

Fan Zhongyan, courtesy name Xiwen, was a descendant of Fan Lubing, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty.

Fan Zhongyan lost his father when he was two years old, and his mother remarried a man named Zhu from Changshan. Fan Zhongyan took his surname and his name was Shuo. He had ambitions and integrity since he was a child. When he grew up, he learned about his family background and said goodbye to his mother with sadness and tears. He left his hometown to Yingtian Mansion and relied on Qi Tongwen to study.

He worked nonstop day and night. He was so exhausted in winter that he poured water on his face. There was not enough food, so he used gruel as food. Others couldn't bear it, but Fan Zhongyan didn't think it was hard. After passing the Jinshi examination, he joined the army as the manager of the Guangde Army and welcomed his mother home to support him.

After being appointed as the Jiedu officer of the Jiqing Army, he changed back to his original surname and changed his name. In the seventh year of Tiansheng, the Queen Mother Zhang Xian will accept the government on the winter solstice, and the emperor will lead hundreds of officials to congratulate her.

Zhong Yan tried his best to dissuade her from this matter, and said: "Serving your mother at home has the etiquette of your own family, but being in the court with hundreds of officials and facing the south to worship the Queen Mother cannot be used as a rule for future generations. Shangshu asked the Queen Mother to return to power, but received no reply.

Soon after, he was demoted to Chenzhou (Fan Zhongyan) as the general magistrate of Hezhong Prefecture. When he was recalled to the capital, he was in charge of the city and was transferred to the Ministry of Civil Affairs and acting as the prefect of Kaifeng.

At that time, Lu Yijian was in power, and most of the people he promoted were from his sect. Sequence said: Like this is promotion in order, like this is out of order (promotion), like this is fair, like this is partiality, not to mention the promotion or demotion of ministers

Anyone who jumps above the rank should not be allowed. Leave all these matters to the prime minister. "Lu Yijian is not happy.

Later, when discussing the establishment of the capital, Fan Zhongyan said: "Luoyang must be strong and strong, while Bianliang is a place surrounded by enemies. It is suitable to be in Bianjing during peacetime, but if there is a war, it must be in Luoyang. It should be gradually expanded. Reserve materials and repair the palace.

"The emperor asked Lu Yijian, and Lu Yijian said: "This is Fan Zhongyan's unrealistic opinion." Fan Zhongyan then wrote four treatises and presented them (to the emperor), generally condemning the government affairs at that time.

He also said: "Emperor Cheng of the Han Dynasty believed in Zhang Yu and did not doubt his uncle's family, so Wang Mang caused trouble. I am afraid that Zhang Yu will be here today and damage your majesty's family law."

Lu Yijian He angrily refuted: "Fan Zhongyan has alienated His Majesty, the monarch and his ministers. The officials he recommended and appointed are all cronies (political groups that exclude dissidents)." Zhong Yan was even more eager to confront him, so he was dismissed and appointed as the governor of Raozhou.

Han Du, the imperial censor in the palace, catered to the prime minister's wishes and requested that Fan Zhongyan's cronies be written down and their names revealed in the court hall. Under this situation, Secretary Cheng Yu Jing offered his opinion: "Fan Zhongyan was immediately demoted and exiled because he offended the prime minister with one sentence. What's more, what was discussed before was not between your majesty, mother and son? Your majesty has already tolerated him. I beg you." Change the previous order."

The next year, Lu Yijian was also dismissed as prime minister, and talk about cronyism became popular. Lu Yijian entered the court as prime minister for the second time, and the emperor warned Fan Zhongyan to let him eliminate his previous resentment.

Fan Zhongyan kowtowed and apologized, saying: "The debate I had earlier was about national affairs, and I have no grudge against Lu Yijian.

"Fan Zhongyan is resolute in heart but humble in appearance, and has an extremely filial temperament, because his mother was poor when she was alive. Although she was later a prominent figure, she did not eat more than two kinds of meat when entertaining guests.

The food and clothing for his wife and children, He could only provide for himself. However, (Fan Zhongyan) liked to give, spread love, and was willing to do good deeds.

When he died, people all over the world sighed for him.

He became the pillar of the country. Although he was poor and humble, Fan Zhongyan was not moved by the desire for profit. When he was young, he studied at Liquan Temple in Changshan, Suiyang. He often slept with his clothes on until dawn. Once, he accidentally discovered that there was something buried in his room. A piece of silver, he covered it up without saying a word. Later, Fan Zhongyan became a high official, and the monks in the temple asked him for donations. He wrote a letter, and sure enough, they found the silver in the house where he lived. The monks They all raised their thumbs up and praised Fan Zhongyan for his valuable qualities, saying, "The people can rest assured that he is an official." When he was an official in Suzhou, he bought a piece of land in Nanyuan and planned to build a house for living. Mr. Feng Shui saw it and congratulated: " This is a treasure land, and there will definitely be many ministers and ministers who will build residences here." Fan Zhongyan said with a smile: "Instead of monopolizing this treasure land, why not give it up to run a school and create more talents for ministers, generals and ministers?" So he founded a school and invited famous teachers to give lectures. It was an unprecedented event and was imitated by various places, so it was known as "Su Xue is the best in the world". "Excellence in learning will lead to officialdom". Some people think that as long as you study, you can become an official. So for a while, the school was overcrowded, and the young people in Yao She Village Everyone went to study, and even the fields were deserted for a while. After autumn, there was no food to eat. When Fan Zhongyan saw this situation, he went to persuade him and made it clear that "learning well leads to officialdom" and "people depend on food." Due to the relationship between "the sky" and "the sky", many people gave up and returned to their hometowns to work happily. The elders in the hometown were all grateful to Fan Zhongyan for his teachings to their children. When he was over 60 years old, Fan Zhongyan was an official in Hangzhou and took the initiative to retire. He advocated building a garden in Luoyang to enjoy happiness. He said to his disciples: "There is not much left, so why build a garden?" One day he came to the foot of Tianping Mountain again and saw a Feng Shui master choosing a cemetery for others. He only heard that this Feng Shui master Said: "This land is the land of the Five Tiger Argali. (It is surrounded by five bare stone mountains surrounding an earthen ridge in the middle. It is said in the old times that the stone belongs to the tiger and the earth belongs to the sheep, so it is called the Five Tiger Argali.) The stone statue in the book Luan Chuanxin is a dead end, and he will be eliminated for five generations. "When Fan Zhongyan heard this, he thought to himself that I became a world official, which is really difficult to do. Why not let me buy it as an ancestral tomb, so that the younger generation will never be an official again. If you want to, I will give up. My family didn't want him to harm others anymore, so I bought it and built it as an ancestral tomb. 8. Please translate Fan Zhongyan's three deposed words into Chinese

Fan Wenzheng was deposed three times because of his report on state affairs.

When he was a school administrator, he was demoted to the river because he offended the emperor. His colleagues and friends saw him off in Dumen and said: "This demotion is very honorable. Later, when he became a remonstrator, he was demoted to Muzhou because he abandoned Empress Guo and led the remonstrators to fight without victory. His colleagues and friends bid farewell to him in the pavilion again and said: "This time the remonstrance is even more glorious." "

Later, he became an official in Tianzhang Pavilion and an official in Kaifeng Prefecture. He compiled a map of hundreds of officials and presented it to the emperor. The prime minister angrily told the emperor: "The prime minister is responsible for managing hundreds of officials. of. Now that Fan Zhongyan is promoting himself, where can such a prime minister be used? We strongly demand that he be dismissed from office. "

Song Renzong was angry and demoted him to Raozhou. At that time, relatives, guests and friends bid him farewell in the suburbs and said: "This is the most glorious demotion. "Fan Zhongyan said with a smile: "I have already had three blessings before and after me. From now on, if you send me away, you just need to beg for a prison. "

This sentence is particularly confusing. I heard someone who recently recorded this say: Zhong Yan just wants to die until he goes to jail. The guests laughed and dispersed, but Wang Ziye did not leave. , insisting on staying for several nights, the two high-fived and happily discussed the good and bad places of the world at that time, and left reluctantly. 9. "The Story of Fan Zhongyan" in classical Chinese

Fan Zhongyan died at the age of two. He was an orphan, his mother was poor, and he lived in the Zhu family in Shichangshan. He wept and resigned from his mother, and went to school in Nandu. He studied hard day and night, and did not undress for five years. Womian. Often eat "Shizu" (please pronounce it together, I can't find its pronunciation. Please tell me if you can find it). If the porridge is not continued, it will be eaten after the day is over. This is the purpose of the "Six Classics". Those who aspire to the world often recite to themselves: "A scholar should worry about the world's worries first, and rejoice after the world's happiness. "

Yueyang Tower Fan Zhongyan

In the spring of the fourth year of Qingli, Teng (téng) Zijing was relegated (zhé) to guard Baling County. In the next year, the government was well-organized and people were harmonious, and everything was restored. Yueyang Tower was rebuilt. , added to the old system, and engraved poems and poems by Tang Xian and modern people on it.

Belong to (zhǔ) and give (yú) a composition to record it.

I watched Fu (fú) Baling Shengzhuang in a lake in Dongting. It carries the distant mountains and swallows the Yangtze River, and the vast and vast water stretches endlessly; the sun shines brightly in the evening, and the scenery is endless. This is the grand view of Yueyang Tower. The descriptions of predecessors have been prepared (yǐ). However, it is connected to Wu Gorge in the north and Xiaoxiang in the South Pole. Migrant poets and poets often meet here, and the feeling of looking at the things is the same?

If the husband is lustful (yín), the rain is falling (fēi), the moon is not open, the wind is roaring (háo), the turbid waves are emptying; the sun and stars are hidden (yào), the mountains are hidden (qián); business travel No, the qiang (qiáng) fell and the ji (jí) was destroyed; in the dusk, the tigers roared and the apes cried. Climbing the tower, there are those who are nostalgic for their country, worried about slander and fear of ridicule, their eyes are full of desolation, and they feel extremely sad.

When spring comes and the scenery is bright, the waves are calm, the sky is bright up and down, and there is a vast expanse of blue. Sand gulls gather in the sky, and the golden scales swim; ). Or when the long smoke disappears, the bright moon shines thousands of miles away, the floating light leaps into the gold, the silent shadow sinks into the jade, and the 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!

Sigh (jiē) husband! Why should I try to seek the benevolent heart of the ancients or do something different from the two?

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?

It was September 15th, six years ago.
