In 2008, Cao Cao led 830,000 troops to leave Xuchang, and went south to catch up with Liu Bei, ready to win Jingzhou and covet Soochow. Sun Quan named Zhou Yu as the viceroy and ordered him to lead the water army to practice day and night in Gantang Lake to meet Cao Jun.
In ancient times, Gantang Lake was connected with the Yangtze River and Poyang Lake, with a wide water area, which was the water fortress of Soochow. At that time, warships gathered on Lake Gan Tang and heroes lined up.
Zhou Yu, a talented man, assembled troops here, united with Liu Bei and defeated Cao Bing in Chibi. In the ancient military history of our country, he created a war example of defeating many with few and defeating the strong with weak, so he was also called "Zhou Yu's podium".
By the Tang Dynasty, Jiangzhou Sima Baijuyi had rowed here to view the lakes and mountains, and was interested in writing poems. During the Northern Song Dynasty, the philosopher Zhou Dunyi saw the island as the moon, hence the name "Immersing in the Moon".
Later generations built a "Moon Immersion Pavilion" on the island, which reflected the poem "When the river mysteriously widens to the full moon" in Bai Juyi's Pipa Trip, and also entrusted the memory of Bai Juyi and Zhou Dunyi.
Later, Zhou Dunyi's son Zhou Shou came to Jiangzhou's father's tomb from Hunan. Seeing that there are "fine mountains and fine smoke" around Gantang Lake, he built a pavilion on the lake embankment and named it "Smoke Pavilion".
By the Ming Dynasty, both pavilions were abandoned. 1593, Huang Tengchun, governor of Jiujiang, rebuilt a pavilion in the former site of Shenyue Pavilion and named it "Yanshui Pavilion", which is the preserved Yanshui Pavilion.
There is also a legend about Huang Tengchun building a smoke pavilion!
Legend has it that 1593, one day, Governor Huang Tengchun of Jiujiang visited Gantang Lake and returned to China. In the evening, I had a dream that Lv Dongbin taught him to treat his blind mother's eye disease and cured her sick eye. From then on, Huang Tengchun's mother really saw the light again.
Huang Tengchun was deeply moved. He rebuilt the pavilion on the original site of the Moon Immersion Pavilion as a sacrifice to Lv Dongbin, and named the new pavilion "Yanshui Pavilion".
After the completion of Yanshui Pavilion, countless literati and poets were attracted by its elegant landscape and historical charm. They wrote many couplets and famous poems while playing and resting in Yanshuige.
In the Qing Dynasty, the couplet written by Ling Luo Guangxu of Dehua County was:
Only then did I know the true face of Lushan Mountain;
Wash the middle of the lake.
There are also couplets written by Tang Ying, Governor of Jiujiang in Qing Dynasty. "Jiujiang Fuzhi" commented: "I am eager for high winds and have a long shift at the smoke booth."
The couplet reads:
Tao was the old smoky moon of that year;
In this way, the scenic spots can be recorded as lakes and mountains.
Yang Zengwei, an official of Jiujiang Prefecture in Qing Dynasty, also wrote couplets:
Public fantasy Handan dream, I swim Yanshui pavilion, who is true and who is false;
The sword hits Lin Dongyun, the crane flies to Xijiang Moon, and the Buddha is immortal.
There is a couplet on the old title Yanshui Pavilion, which has a long-standing reputation and how different the words are. The author of this couplet is Huang, a subordinate of Jiangxi Governor's Office in Qing Dynasty.
The couplet reads:
As good as chanting poems, pipa people are old, and maple leaves are late autumn, which is a sigh, blowing in the wind. When you meet, don't say that your hometown is prosperous and your hometown is declining;
This is Handan Road. When I woke up in the afternoon, I had known Huang Liang for a long time, and I felt that I had gained fame and fortune all my life. In an instant, I paid a little smoke and water.
Yanshuige was built in successive dynasties, and in the Qing Dynasty 18 1 1, it took shape and became a scene of Jiujiang. Later, Yanshui Pavilion was destroyed by war. From 1862 to 1874, there was a monk named Gu Huai who collected money everywhere and rebuilt it. It was not until after 1874 that Yanshuige formed its remaining scale.
The rebuilt Yanshui Pavilion is even more famous. Not only poets travel, but also painters and other celebrities come here to visit, leaving many works and adding a lot of color to them. Yunlong He, a painter and calligrapher in the late Qing Dynasty, wrote couplets after visiting the inkstone pavilion:
Laugh at the clouds, and the fairy is not small;
Water and milk blend together, and words are endless.
The original postscript of this couplet:
Colleagues of Nanxun Railway established the New Lotus Poetry Society, which was founded on July 7th, Mao Yi's year. I would like to jointly write: Lotus Poetry.
At the end of the Qing dynasty, Duchang gongsheng Li also went to Yanshuige, leaving:
A lonely pavilion at night, a lake of smoke and water;
The night is high and the pillow is high, and the sound is from the nine factions.
This couplet has a postscript:
During the Reform Movement of Guangxu in August, Master Yi, Tang Huazhai and Taoist Lei traveled here, and the second son Yu Ting came from Doumen, which was also impromptu.
Li is studying in Bailudong. Master Yi and Tang Huazhai recorded in the postscript were celebrities at that time. The Taoist Lei, whose legal name is Ren Phosphorus, was an elder who lived in a pavilion at that time.
Cai Gongshi, a native of Jiujiang in Qing Dynasty, from 65438 to 0898 AD, also wrote a couplet:
Please look at the world situation like playing chess. Competition is nature playing, and people of all countries are in the same drama.
Good smoke reaches the lake pavilion, and the smoke waves are vast, and the double-peaked sword shadow falls in front.
Liu Ye, the supervisor of Jiujiang University in the late Qing Dynasty, left a couplet in Yanshui Pavilion;
All kinds of magic clouds and smoke, only the upstream gull is at ease;
Laugh at mountains and rivers alone, and shallow cranes several times.
The signature of this couplet is: "The author of this book is Liu, a native of Dongyueyi in Guihai."
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Jiang, a native of Wuyuan, Jiangxi, once praised the Yanshui Pavilion and wrote:
Leaning on the fence to see the true face of Lushan Mountain, looking forward and backward, arrogant and domineering;
Xiao Qiao's husband hung up the light, and I ran back and forth, misty.
Jiang was a famous scholar in the late Qing Dynasty, and his works were handed down from generation to generation.
The original postscript of this couplet:
When Yu Zai was in Jiashan, he heard that Yanshuige was still the former site of Zhou Lang. I passed Jiujiang today and rested on the pavilion. He thinks that Gong Jin used to give orders to the army, and eternal love is for him. He just read the title of a good man and attached it.
Zeng Senzhong, an official of Jiujiang government in Qing Dynasty;
Who is the true fairy, Dan Zhuan still exists, I want to see the smoke and water;
I am also Jiangzhou Sima. Although my blue shirt is old, I feel no pipa because of degradation.
Han Ye, a monk who lived in a pavilion at the end of Qing Dynasty, has good poems and essays. He wrote the following couplets to Yanshuige:
Read gold carefully and often listen to the sound of rain;
Recite good sentences and burn incense.
This joint signature is: "B puts cold leaves and writes Guo Bushu." Lei Jiyun, the same Taoist who lived in a pavilion in the Qing Dynasty, wrote:
Xuanchuang crosses Yunfeng Shadow far away;
Several seats share the moonlight.
Yanshui Pavilion is a place where literati and poets in past dynasties feast and visit. These couplets all add a touch of bright color to Yanshui Pavilion!
