Ouyang Xiu's Full Translation of Fengle Pavilion.

It was not until the summer of my second year in charge of Chuzhou that I drank the spring water of Chuzhou, which was sweet. Ask the location of Chuzhou people's spring water, which is one hundred steps south of Chuzhou city. Above it is a rich mountain, towering into the clouds; Below is a deep valley, hidden in the darkness; There is a clear spring in the middle, and the water is surging and spewing upward. I have seen it from top to bottom. I love the scenery here. Because of this, I asked people to dredge springs, cut stones, open up open spaces, set up pavilions and play with Chuzhou people there.

During the melee of the Five Dynasties, Chuzhou was a contested area. At that time, Mao led the soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty to defeat Li Jing's 150,000 troops at the foot of the mountain, and captured his general Huangfuhuihe alive outside the East Gate of Chuzhou, thus pacifying Chuzhou. I have visited the scenery in Chuzhou, checked the atlas of Chuzhou, climbed to the top of the mountain to see Liu Customs clearance, and wanted to find out where Huangfuhui and Yao Feng were arrested. However, people were gone at that time, because the world was peaceful for a long time.

Since the Tang Dynasty destroyed the political situation, the whole country has been torn apart, competing with each other and becoming an enemy country everywhere. How can I count it clearly? In the Great Song Dynasty, saints appeared and the whole country was unified. In the past, those dramas that relied on risks and risks were all leveled out. In a hundred years, I have only quietly seen mountains grow high. If you ask about the situation at that time, all the old people left behind are dead. Today, Chuzhou lies between the Yangtze River and Jianghuai, which is inaccessible to businessmen by boat and tourists from all directions. People don't know what happened outside. They plow, dress and eat with peace of mind, spend their lives happily, and are sent to the grave after death. Who knows that this is the credit of the emperor, let the people recuperate for a hundred years!

When I come here, I like the quietness and simplicity of this place. I like its amorous feelings, tranquility and leisure. After finding this spring in the valley, I often look up at Fengshan with Chuzhou people here and listen to the sound of the spring. Xiangshan flowers are picked in spring, and they hide under trees to enjoy the cool in dry days. After the wind, frost and snow in autumn and winter, the landscape is more clearly revealed, and there is nothing unlovable about the scenery of the four seasons. I am also very happy that people here like the bumper harvest that year and are very happy to play with me, so I praise the beauty of local customs according to the landscape here and let people know that they can enjoy the joy of this bumper harvest year because they are lucky enough to live in a peaceful era. It is a matter for state officials to publicize the emperor's kindness and enjoy the people. So, I wrote this article to name this pavilion.
