### 重修平山堂記

> Restoration Record of Pingshan Hall

尹會一

> Yin Huiyi

自古地，以人重揚州四方都會絕少山林城之西偏，陂陁曼衍，有堂翼然。自宋歐陽文忠公守郡時建至今以平山特聞，中間屢歷興廢，且七百餘年矣。聖祖南廵，嘗臨幸焉。既御書平山堂，復賜賢守清風額，蓋不獨重公之賢，亦所以風厲守土之臣，意至深也。使者壬子夏來守是邦，登堂肅拜，天章爛然，震耀心目。踰年擢司轉運。又三年，簡命視鹺公，餘一載過之。時鄉大夫汪君應庚以斯堂漸圮，蠲貲修繕，整崇階植嘉樹，濬第五泉新其亭周山種，松十餘萬，蓊然蔚然，非復舊觀矣。余嘗念維揚古，稱名勝然，何遜東閣昭明選樓徐湛之之風亭，月觀訪其遺墟，荒涼滅沒，而斯堂屢更，兵燹每廢，輒興久且益勝。公之靈在焉，不可得而泯也。若夫堂之左為棲靈寺，唐時塔毁於火汪，君即故址建藏經樓，其後則觀音閣前廊置寮舍以飯僧，皆因堂及之者已復以公命堂意，築為平樓，綺疏四闢，遙眺南徐，水氣橫浮，萬山拱揖設起。公於今當復與賓僚觴詠，顧而樂之，愧予未獲𢋫其餘韻也。於戲！揚人士擁高貲侈，豪舉固所。時有汪君以力㪟善行聞於朝，嘗即其家拜光祿少卿，觀於斯堂，乃亦為增勝。蓋先皇之寵錫，賢守之風流山川，文物相輝映，詎遨遊選勝云爾哉？汪君其知所重也矣。

> From ancient times, Yangzhou has been renowned for its prosperity. As a bustling hub connecting all directions, the city has very few mountains or forests. To the west of the city, where the terrain gently slopes and stretches, stands a hall with soaring eaves. It was first built during the Song Dynasty when the renowned scholar Ouyang Xiu governed this prefecture, and to this day it is celebrated as the Pingshan Hall. Over the intervening centuries, it has weathered cycles of decay and restoration, spanning more than seven hundred years. When the late Emperor Kangxi toured the south, he graced this hall with a visit. He not only penned the calligraphy for its name, "Pingshan Hall," but also bestowed a plaque reading "Wise Governor, Pure Breeze." This honor was not merely a tribute to Ouyang Xiu's virtue, but also a way to inspire and encourage all those who govern the land—a gesture of profound significance. In the summer of the Renzi year, I came to this prefecture as its governor. Ascending the hall, I bowed in reverence, and the imperial calligraphy shone brilliantly, overwhelming my eyes and heart. The following year, I was promoted to oversee the salt transport. Three years later, I was appointed to supervise the salt administration. After another year, I passed by this place again. At that time, the local elder Mr. Wang Yinggeng, noticing that the hall had gradually fallen into disrepair, generously funded its restoration. The steps were raised, fine trees were planted, the Fifth Spring was dredged, and its pavilion was renewed. Over one hundred thousand pine trees were planted on the surrounding hills, creating a lush, verdant landscape that transformed the site entirely. I have often reflected that Yangzhou has been celebrated as a place of scenic beauty since ancient times. Yet, look at He Xun's Eastern Pavilion, the Zhaoming Prince's Literary Tower, or Xu Zhanzhi's Wind Pavilion and Moon View—their ruins have become desolate and faded into oblivion. This hall, however, has endured countless wars and fires, repeatedly destroyed yet always restored, growing ever more magnificent with each revival. The spirit of Ouyang Xiu resides here and cannot be erased. To the left of the hall stands the Qiling Temple. When its pagoda from the Tang Dynasty was destroyed by fire, Mr. Wang rebuilt it on the original site as a sutra repository. Behind it rises the Guanyin Pavilion, and in front, he constructed lodgings to provide meals for monks. These all came about as extensions of the restoration of the hall. Following the original design intent of the hall, he also built a two-story pavilion with latticed windows opening on all four sides. Gazing into the distance toward the southern region of Xuzhou, one sees misty waters floating on the horizon, with myriad mountains bowing in greeting as if in audience. If Ouyang Xiu were here today, he would surely gather his guests and colleagues once more for wine and poetry, looking upon this scene with great joy. I only regret that I cannot join in composing verses to match his elegant legacy. Alas! The wealthy people of Yangzhou are accustomed to lavish displays and extravagant gestures. Yet Mr. Wang stands apart, for his virtuous deeds have been reported to the court, and he was even summoned to his home to be honored with the title of Vice Minister of the Imperial Banquets. Gazing upon this hall, I see that he has indeed enhanced its splendor. The favor of the late Emperor, the refined legacy of a wise governor, and the beauty of the mountains and rivers—all these shine brilliantly upon one another. This is far more than mere sightseeing or the selection of scenic spots. Mr. Wang truly understands what is worthy of reverence.
