Original text and translation of Zuiweng Pavilion
The original text of Zuiweng Pavilion:
There are mountains around Chu and Chu. The peaks in the southwest, the forests and valleys of You Mei, are beautiful and beautiful. Those who travel six or seven miles on the mountain and gradually hear the sound of water gurgling and pouring out between the two peaks make a spring. When the peak turns around, there is a pavilion wing on the spring, and the pavilion is also drunk. Who is the pavilion? The monk of the mountain is also wise and immortal. Who is the name? The satrap calls himself. The satrap and the guests come here to drink, and they drink less and get drunk, and the year is the highest, so they call themselves drunkards. The meaning of drunkenness is not wine, but also between mountains and rivers. The joy of mountains and rivers, the heart of the heart and the wine.
If the husband is at sunrise and the forest is blooming, the clouds will return to the caves, and the twilight will change in the mountains. The wild fragrance is fragrant, the beautiful wood is beautiful and cloudy, the wind and frost are noble and clean, and the water falls and the stone comes out, which is also in the mountains at four o'clock. Going to the morning and returning at dusk, the scenery at four o'clock is different, and the joy is endless.
as for the loser who sings on the way, the walker rests on the tree, the former calls, the latter should support, and those who keep going back and forth will swim. Fish by the stream, the stream is deep and the fish is fat. Brewing spring is wine, and the spring is fragrant and the wine bottle; The wild pheasant with mountain food, however, is the predecessor, and it is also a satrap feast. The joy of a hearty feast is not silk or bamboo. Among the shooters, the player wins, and those who sit up and make noise are all happy. Those who are pale and white-haired and self-effacing are too defensive and drunk.
It's already sunset in the mountains, and people are scattered, and the guests are obedient. The Woods are overcast, singing up and down, tourists go and birds are happy. However, birds know the joy of mountains, but not the joy of people; People know that it is fun to swim from the satrap, but they don't know that the satrap is fun. Drunkenness can be fun, and those who wake up can tell the story with words are too defensive. Who is the satrap? Lu Ling Ouyang Xiu also.
Translation:
Chuzhou City is surrounded by mountains. The mountains, Woods and valleys in the southwest are especially beautiful. From a distance, it is Langya Mountain, which is lush and beautiful. Walking six or seven miles along the mountain road, I gradually heard the gurgling sound of water, and (I saw a stream of water) flew down from two mountains. It was a brewing spring. The mountains are circling, the road is turning, and there is a pavilion whose four corners are tilted up and perched on the spring like a bird spreading its wings. It is the Zuiweng Pavilion. Who is the man who built the pavilion? It's a monk and a wise fairy in the mountains. Who named it? It's satrap's own. Don't call it that. The satrap and guests come here to drink, and they are always drunk when they drink less, and they are the oldest, so they give themselves an individual nickname called "Drunken Man". The drunken man's mind is not in the wine, but in the mountains and rivers. The pleasure of enjoying the mountains and rivers is based on the wine.
If the sun comes out and the fog in the forest clears, the smoke clouds gather and the caves in the valley are dim, this scene of alternating light and dark is morning and night in the mountains. Wildflowers are blooming and emitting subtle fragrance, beautiful trees are flourishing and shady, the autumn wind is magnificent, the weather is fine, the frost is white, the water flow is reduced, and the stones are exposed. This is the four seasons scenery in the mountains. Going up the mountain in the morning and returning in the evening, the scenery of the four seasons is different, and that happiness is endless.
As for people singing on the road with things on their backs, people walking under trees, shouting in front and answering in the back, old people bending over and children being held and led by adults, it's an endless stream of people traveling in Chuzhou. Come fishing by the stream, the stream is deep and the fish are fat; Using spring water to make wine, the spring water is sweet and the water is clear, and the wild game and vegetables on the mountain are placed in front of you. This is a feast for the satrap. The fun of the banquet was that there was no stringed instrument (for fun), the pitcher hit the goal, the chess player won, the wine glasses and wine chips were mixed, and they got up and sat down to make a loud noise, which was the happy appearance of all the guests. Old-faced, gray-haired, drunk sitting in the middle of the crowd, this is the satrap drunk.
Soon the sun sets on the western hills, and people's shadows are scattered all over the place, so the prefect goes back and the guests follow. The Woods are thick and shady, and there is a cry from top to bottom. It is the birds singing after the tourists leave. However, birds (only) know the fun of mountains, but they don't know the fun of tourists; Tourists know the fun of playing with the satrap, but they don't know that the satrap takes their happiness as happiness. It is a satrap to be happy with them when you are drunk, and to write an article about it when you wake up. Who is the satrap? It's Ouyang Xiu from Luling. ?

Ouyang Xiu (17-172) was a writer and historian in the Northern Song Dynasty. The word Yong Shu,no. Drunken Weng, no.61 layman. Luling (now Ji 'an, Jiangxi) people. Tiansheng eight years (13) Jinshi. Tired of knowing the imperial edict, Hanlin bachelor, Li Shumi deputy envoy, and participating in political affairs. Song Shenzong dynasty, moved the ministry of war ministers, with prince Shao Shi ZhiShi. The pawn is Wen Zhong. Politically, he supported Fan Zhongyan's innovative ideas, and in literature, he advocated Ming Dow and pragmatism. He expressed dissatisfaction with the extravagant and strange style of writing since the early Song Dynasty and actively cultivated backward people. He was the leader of the ancient prose movement in the Northern Song Dynasty. Prose is one of the "eight masters in Tang and Song Dynasties" because of its eloquence and euphemism. The poetic style is similar to its prose, and the language is fluent and natural. Its words are graceful and beautiful, inheriting the lingering wind of the Southern Tang Dynasty. He co-edited the Book of the New Tang Dynasty with Song Qi, and independently wrote the History of the New Five Dynasties. He also likes to collect epigraphy and compile it as Collection of Ancient Records, which has a great influence on epigraphy in the Song Dynasty. There is Ouyang Wenzhong's Collection.
Creation background:
The Drunken Pavilion was written in the fifth year of Song Renzong's Qingli (145), when Ouyang was appointed as the prefect of Chuzhou. Ouyang Xiu came to Chuzhou after being demoted from the fifth year of Qingli. Before he was demoted, he served as Taichang Cheng Zhi Jian Yuan, You Zhengyan Zhi Gao, and Hebei Du Yun Jian Bao. The reason why he was demoted was that he always supported Han Qi, Fan Zhongyan, Fu Bi, Lv Yijian and others to participate in the reform movement of the Northern Song Dynasty to carry out the New Deal, but opposed the conservative Xia Song and others. Han Fan and others had been demoted as early as January of the fifth year of Qingli. By August of this year, Ouyang Xiu was charged with a crime committed by Zhang, a niece, and was demoted to Chuzhou.
Ouyang Xiu practiced lenient politics and developed production in Chuzhou, which made the local people live a peaceful and stable life, rich in years and an intoxicating landscape, which made Ouyang Xiu feel extremely happy. However, at that time, the entire Northern Song Dynasty, although politically enlightened and in good weather, was not enterprising and indulged in the status quo, and some people who were interested in reform and strength were hit one after another, watching the country's long-standing disadvantages could not be eliminated, which made him feel heavy anxiety and pain. This is his mood when he wrote "Drunken Pavilion", with sadness and joy. These two aspects are mixed together and expressed in his works.
