Translation of Wuchang Jiuqu Pavilion

[Song] Su Zhe

Zi Zhan moved to Qi 'an [2] and stayed by the river [3].

Qi 'an is a nameless mountain, while Wuchang Mountain [4] in the south of the Yangtze River is covered with vicious weeds [5]. The valley is deep and dense, and there are exquisite floating houses in it [6], with Xishan Mountain in the west and Han Xi in the east. The mountains and valleys are hidden and scattered [7], which is unique and bleak, and the traces of horses and chariots are not as good. Every wind stops the sunrise, the river is full, Zi Zhangzhan carries wine [8], takes a fishing boat and drifts south [9]. There are two or three sons in the mountains [10], who are hospitable and like to travel. When Wen Zi saw it, a towel greeted him with a smile [1 1] and walked with him [12]. Into the badlands is deep and powerful, sweeping leaves and grass, and drinking together [13]. If you forget what you mean, you often stay in the mountains. I have lived in Qi 'an for three years [14], and I don't know how long I can stay.

However, it will be suitable for the West Mountain, traveling between Yu Songbai, with nine twists and turns and meeting Xiaoping [15]. At this time, tourists must rest, lean against the grotesque rocks, shade trees, overlook the river, look up at the mausoleum [16], overlook the valley, and the situation changes, and the foot of the mountain faces backward [17], which is beneficial to the left and right [18]. There is an abandoned pavilion [19], and its ruins are too narrow to accommodate all the guests. There are dozens of ancient trees nearby, most of which are surrounded by thousands of feet [20], so we can't attack [2 1]. Zi Zhan bowed his head every step and needed to be jealous all day [22]. Once there is a strong wind and thunderstorm, unplug one of them and deny its basis [23], and the pavilion will be wide. Zi Zhan and the guest went into the mountain to see it, and said with a smile, "Are you going to make my pavilion evil?" Then phase and camp. Pavilion, and the victory of Xishan. Zi Zhan is the happiest.

I used to be a teenager, traveling from my son. There are mountains to climb and water to float, and children's foresight is not the first [24]. If not, it would be disappointing to move to Japan [25]. To its carefree, carefree spring stone, pick Lin Hui [26], pick up the stream, drink it with water, and the viewer thinks it is immortal. The joy of the world is endless, and it is fun at home [27]. Only when it is proud [28] can everything become easy. And he is a person who hates [29] and doesn't laugh at himself. For example, in the previous diet mix [30], one should be full [3 1] and the other should be smelly [32]. Who knows where the gains and losses are [33]? Only it is worthy of China [34], it has no responsibility to the outside, but it is ignorant. The reason why the child is happy is also [35].

Authors and solutions

Su Zhe (1039-112), the word ziyou, is the same as uncle. Meizhou Meishan (now Sichuan) people. He is Su Xun's son and Su Shi's brother. /kloc-at the age of 0/9, he was admitted to the Jinshi with Su Shi. Renzong was a military attache in Shangzhou and moved his name. When Zongshen was in Wang Anshi, he was transferred to other posts because he opposed the new law. Later, due to the infighting of Su Shi's poems, he moved to Yunzhou to supervise the salt and wine tax. From Zhezong to Hui Zong, his career has experienced many ups and downs. Finally, he resigned from Dr. Tai Zhong and lived in Xu (now Xuchang, Henan Province), named Yingbin. After his death, he was posthumously awarded a bachelor's degree from Duanming Temple, and posthumous title was "Wen Ding". He is a famous essayist and one of the eight masters in Tang and Song Dynasties. There is also the Luancheng collection.

This article is selected from Luancheng Collection. Written in the fifth year of Yuanfeng (1082). At that time, the author relegated Yunzhou and Su Shi relegated Huangzhou, but they were not depressed. This inscription records the origin of Su Shi's rebuilding of Wuchang Jiuqu Pavilion, expounds Su Shi's ideological interest of "being appropriate and pleasing", and shows Su Shi's open-minded and free-spirited demeanor in the amusement landscape. Obviously, it also entrusted the author's own thoughts. Its conception is very clear, which not only captures the factual characteristics of building pavilions, but also highlights Su Shi's ideological character. Su Shi moved to Huangzhou instead of Wuchang, so the article begins with Su Shi's good visit to Wuchang Mountain, especially pointing out that Su Shi stayed in Huangzhou for three years because of the beautiful scenery in Wuchang Xishan and the good people in the mountains. This paves the way for describing the architecture of Wuchang Pavilion, showing that Su Shi is good at enjoying himself in frustration. Then, it leads to the location of Jiuqu Pavilion. This is a scenic spot for tourists to Xishan, and there is a "waste pavilion". However, for a long time, it was difficult for Su Shi to rebuild because of no one to manage it, neglect of waste and entrenched ancient trees. However, God helps others, a strong wind and thunderstorm blew down a big tree, creating conditions for reconstruction. Su Shi got his wish and rebuilt the Jiuqu Pavilion. This explained the process of building the pavilion in detail, implicitly praised the act of building the pavilion, promoted the waste and benefited the public, which was in line with God's will, and Su Shi got the greatest pleasure. Finally, it discusses in detail that Su Shi's pursuit of pleasure is "taking comfort as pleasure" and spiritual satisfaction, regardless of personal utilitarian gains and losses, so he is "worthy of being in the middle and not responsible for being outside". This euphemistically explains the purpose of Su Shi's pavilion building and his attitude towards life, thus praising his moral demeanor, openness and detachment. If combined with their political situation at that time, the author praised his brother's ideological interest in writing this inscription, which really showed the author's political firmness and tolerance. Su Shi once said that Su Zhe's article "Wang Yang has the sound of singing and sighing, and it is indispensable to show off the spirit of outstanding people" (Answer to Zhang Wenqian). This style is as it says.
