【賦】《晉歐陽建登櫓賦》曰：登茲櫓以遐眺，闢曾軒以高盻，仰天塗之綿邈，俯平原之曠衍，嘉蒼春之令節，悅和風之微扇，傍觀八隅，周覽四垂，面孤丘之峻峙，岨曲岸之脩崖，植榆楸以成列，插垂柳之差差，寓目忽以終日，情亹亹而忘疲。 |
| | [Fu] In the Jin Dynasty Ouyang Jian's Fu on Ascending a Lu, it says: "Climbing this lu to gaze afar, opening lofty pavilions for an elevated view, gazing upward at the boundless sky and downward at the vast plains, rejoicing in the pleasant spring season and the gentle breeze. Observing all eight directions from the side, surveying the four horizons around me, facing solitary hills standing tall, rugged riverbanks with long cliffs; rows of elm and qiu trees planted upright, willows hanging down in neat lines. My eyes linger for a whole day, my feelings flow continuously without tiring."
