Good morning! Ladies and gentlemen:
Today we will go and visit the Yueyang Tower, Yueyang Tower lies in the west of Yueyang city, nearby the Dongting Lake, it is listed as three famous towers in the south of Yangtze River, together with Yellow Crane Tower at Wuhan, Hubei province and Tengwang Tower at Nanchang, Jiangxi province.
Yueyang Tower was originally built for soldiers to rest on and watch out. In the Three kingdoms Period, Lusu, General of Wu State, trained his soldiers here and then rebuilt it as a tower to review his troops.
In the forth year (716 A.C) of Kaiyuan of Tang Dynasty, General Zhangshuo was dispatched to defend at yuezhou and he rebuilt it into a Tower named South Tower, and then Yueyang Tower. In the forth year (1044 A.C) of Qingli of Song Dynasty, Teng Zijing was stationed at Baling Jun, the ancient name of Yueyang city. In the second year, he had the Yueyang Tower repaired and had poems by previous poets inscribed on the walls of the Tower. Fan Zhongyan, a great artist and poet, was invited to write the well-known poem about Yueyang Tower, in his essay which entitled《 A Panegyric of the Yueyang Tower》, the two sentences Fan writes :“ Be the first to worry about the troubles across the land, the last to enjoy universal happiness” have for thousands of years been a well-quoted dictum and made the tower even better known then before.
The architectural style of Yueyang Tower is quite unique. The main tower is 21.35 meters high with 4 columns, 3 stories, flying eave, helmet roof and wood construction, the helmet-roof of such a large dimension is a rarity among the ancient architectures in China.

现在，让我们再注意一下一楼厅内的四根楠木大柱。这四根大柱自楼底直贯楼顶，支撑着整座楼的全部重量，再以12根柱代内圈，支撑二楼，周围绕以20根木柱，彼此牵制闩缝对榫，结为整体。整个岳阳楼为纯木结构，找不到一颗铁钉。各位还可以看到，在楼的四壁，悬挂着许多木刻匾对，这些都是古今名家吟咏岳阳楼的楹联。挂在楼堂正中的这副楹联，是清代大书法家何绍基写的，是岳阳楼最长的一副。
一来到二楼，大家马上就发现在二楼也悬挂了一副《岳阳楼记》雕屏。这是为什么呢?这里面淬着一个真实的故事。清道光年间，岳阳来了个姓吴的知县，他一上任就看中了岳阳楼上的《岳阳楼记》雕屏，便用重金贿赂一个民间艺雕高手，花了十七个月时间精心临摹，秘密仿制雕屏赝品。两年后，吴知县趁调离岳阳楼之机，偷梁换柱，携带家小和张照的雕屏真迹，在一个风雨交加的夜晚出逃。没想到船行不久，风雨大作，船被风浪掀翻在洞庭湖的九马嘴段，雕屏也随波逐流，因是紫檀木制成，全部沉入了水中。后来，湖水干浅，《岳阳楼记》雕屏的真迹才被当地渔民打捞上来。打捞时，不慎将第八块屏上的“歌互”二字和第十块上的“乐”字损坏。当地文士吴敏树闻讯后，用120纹银从渔民手中将雕屏买回，花了三年时间临摹张照的手迹，才补上被损坏的三个字。各位现在可以看到，雕屏上还有明显的修补痕迹。又过将近100年，岳阳楼再度整修时，地方官员用120块大洋从吴氏后代后中将屏赎回，挂在岳阳楼二楼，这才“完壁归赵”。至于一楼那副，虽是赝品，也有100年历史了，当然是文物了。两副雕屏一真一假，正像一张功罪表，昭示后代子孙，值得我们深思。
现在我们登上了岳阳楼的三楼，楼堂正中悬挂着毛泽东主席手书杜甫《登岳阳楼》诗的木刻雕屏，杜诗为：“昔闻洞庭水，今上岳阳楼。吴楚东南坼，乾坤日夜浮。亲朋无一定，老病有孤舟。戎马关山北，凭轩涕泗流。”其书法笔意奔放，布局严谨，雄健挺拔，形神兼备，笔触与唐代怀素的狂草相似。这是1964年秋天，毛主席从长沙乘火车返回北京途经岳阳时，在列车上即兴而书的。在雕屏两侧，挂有岳阳楼最短的一副对联，仅仅八个字。上联为“水天一色”，下联是“风月无边”。落款为“长庚李白”。当我们站在三娄凭窗远眺时，看到的洞庭湖水天相接，浑然一色;清风朗月，无边无际，山色湖光荟萃于楼时，得到的感觉正是“水天一色，风月无边”吗?最后，请各位再抬头看楼顶。楼顶彩富有民族地方特色的如意斗拱层叠相衬，荷重承力，拱托楼顶，用伞形架传载负荷，和盔顶结构一样，这在我们现存的古建筑中也是罕见的。
