Song Zhu Xi Jiangling Mansion Qujiang Lou Ji Translation

Translation: Guanghan.

In the second year of Zhang Jingfu's tenure as the prefect of Jiangling, the five grains were abundant, the people were happy, and the yamen was idle. It's just that I often feel unhappy that the high wall outside the school gate can't rule out blocking the depressed atmosphere and welcoming the fresh breeze of the wilderness. So on the south side of it, the wall was cut and the door was opened to build a road, which reached the White River.

The original plaque on the abandoned door was taken and hung on top of the new door, and a platform was built on top of it to make it spectacular.

One day, when Jingfu and his guests went to the summit, they saw the vast river.

The connected lakes are winding and tortuous, far and deep, and thousands of miles at a glance. Xiling Gorge.

The mountains, the smoke is misty, the clouds are dim, and they are all faintly visible outside the vast water and sky, sometimes out and sometimes not there. Jingfu then looked around and sighed: "Isn't this the south building of Jiangling County that Qu Jianggong said?"

In the past, Zhang Gong left the position of prime minister and was relegated here to be a taishou, and in his usual leisure days, he climbed the tower and chanted poetry, always freely with the idea of transcending the world. As for his sentimentality about current affairs, he often stayed awake all nights, sighed and was deeply worried, which shows that his heart has not been away from the court for a day, and he is anxious and urgent, lest his ideas will not be realized in the end. Alas, how sad!

So I inscribed the words "Qujiang Building" on the plaque, and wrote to me to make a note for Qujiang Building. At that time, I was serving as a member of the Nankang Zhijun, and due to illness, I asked to resign but was not approved.

After reading Jingfu's letter, I learned about the good things of this building, and I really wanted to have a chance to visit it with Jingfu, looking at the rivers and mountains, ** city tower, according to the Chu and Han conflicts.

Since the rise and fall of success and failure, examine the reasons why they are so, and then persuade each other to drink, chant Zhang Gong's poems, and think of his demeanor thousands of years ago, almost to satisfy the wishes of ordinary people.

Original text: The next year of Guanghan Zhang Hou Jingfu guarding Jingzhou, the year is rich and peaceful, and the shogunate has nothing to do. Gu Chang is sick outside his school, that is, he is obstructed, and there is no way to promote the oblivion of depression and lead to the clear. It is straight to the south of the door channel, to face the White River, and take the old amount near the waste door to the list, and for the building to watch on it.

Jingfu goes to and from the guest for a day, and the big river and heavy lake are lingering, and there are thousands of miles at a glance; And the mountains of Xiling, empty and hazy, are all hidden outside the clouds, smoke and water.

Jingfu then sighed and said: "This is also the so-called Jianggong Jianggong who is evil in the south building of Jiangling County? The former prince went to stay here, and his peaceful life was free, and he was on the verge of singing, and he had the idea of coming out of the dust.

When he was sad and sighed, his heart did not lie in the court for a day. And Ji Jiran is afraid that his way will not work. Woohoo, sad man!

It is a book called "the building of the Qujiang River", and the book belongs to it.

Shi Yu Fang guarded Nankang, and the disease invaded the tomb, and he couldn't get it. Read the book of Jingfu, and know the victory of Zilou, think of a and Jingfu from the swim on it, look at the country, look at the shape of the system, according to the success and failure of the Chu and Han dynasties, and consider the reason for it; Then raise the wine to sing, in order to sing Zhang Gong's poems, and want to see his people in a thousand years, there are people who comfort their hearts.

Translation of Qujianglou Ji of Jiangling Prefecture: In the second year of Zhang Jingfu, a native of Guanghan, who served as the prefect of Jiangling, the five grains were abundant, the people were happy, and the yamen was idle. However, he was often unhappy that there was a high wall outside the school gate, so he opened the door and built a road to the White River, and built a platform on it.

One day, Jingfu and the guests went to visit, only to see the vast limb of the river, the connected lakes, twists and turns, far and deep, the river flowing, a thousand miles at a glance. The mountains of Xiling Gorge are misty and misty, and the clouds are dim, and they appear faintly outside the vast water and sky. Jingfu then looked around and sighed

Isn't this what Qu Jianggong said about the south building of Jiangling County? In the past, Zhang Gong left the position of prime minister and was demoted here, and in his usual leisure days, he climbed high and recited poetry, always fluttering with the idea of transcending the world. As for his sentimental current affairs, his heart has not been absent from the court for a day.

Slippery is anxious and urgent, lest his proposition will not be realized in the end. Alas, how sad! So I inscribed the words "Qujiang Building" on the plaque, and wrote to me to make a note for Qujiang Building.

I read Keifu's letter and learned about the good things about this building. I really want to visit it with Jingfu, look at the rivers and mountains, ** terrain, and then persuade each other to drink, chant Zhang Gong's poems, and think about thousands of years ago'His demeanor can almost satisfy the wishes of ordinary people. It has been a long time since Zhang Gong, and everyone who reads his book is impressed by his situation, closes the book, and sighs deeply.

This is because the distinction between right and wrong is what God is supposed to do, so people cannot remain indifferent. Those who climb this floor can also look back on themselves here, and have some understanding.

For this building, since I can't go to watch, I don't believe in the hunger Changfa like Fan Gong wrote "The Story of Yueyang Tower", describing the mountains and streams, scenery, morning and twilight, and the changes of the four seasons, only to state the original words of Jingfu one by one, and attach their own feelings, for future generations of gentlemen**.
