　　《岳阳楼记》卷释文

　　卷末自识：“范希文岳阳记，宋人犹以为传奇。文如东坡醉白堂记，壹似韩白论耳。文章家之重体如此。若夫希文之先忧，则不愧其自许矣。宋之古文实由范公推尹师鲁开之，又以公书法绝类《乐毅论》，虽文以书非所以重公，公在此道中，未尝可称当行名家也。己酉七月廿七日。董其昌。”钤“董玄宰”印。鉴藏印有“王时敏印”、“烟客真赏”。

　　此卷书北宋范仲淹的名作《岳阳楼记》，写于明万历三十七年（1609年），董其昌时年55岁，为补福建副使前四个月赋闲时所写。该书笔法由李北海而渐入米南宫，字大如拳，流畅劲健，通篇数百字一气呵成，显出深厚功力，为董氏行书中精妙之品。

　　明万历晚期，朝廷上下党派门户之争愈演愈烈，董其昌对此甚为厌恶，故书此篇以寄其意。

　　从鉴藏印悉知该书卷曾被“清初六大家”之首王时敏所收藏。

Volume Interpretation of Yueyang Lou Ji

"Fan Xiwen Yueyang Ji, Song people still think legendary. Wen Rudong Po's drunken Baitang is like Han Bai's argumentation of ears. This is the emphasis of writers. If he worries first, he deserves his permission. The ancient literary facts of the Song Dynasty were written by Fan Gongtui, Yin Shilu, Kaizhi, and by public calligraphy, Yueyi Lun. Although the ancient literary facts of the Song Dynasty did not attach great importance to public works, public works in this way can not be called famous experts. You are on July 27. Dong Qichang." Jun "Dong Xuanzai" seal. "Wang Shimin Seal" and "Smokers Really Appreciate" are printed in the collection.

Fan Zhongyan's masterpiece Yueyang Lou Ji in the Northern Song Dynasty was written in the thirty-seventh year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1609). Dong Qichang was 55 years old. He wrote it to supplement Fujian's Deputy envoy when he was idle for the first four months. The calligraphy gradually entered the Minan Palace from Li Beihai. The characters are as big as fists, fluent and vigorous. Hundreds of words have been written in one go. It shows profound skills and is a delicate work in Dong's travel books.

In the late Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, the disputes between the upper and lower parties became more and more fierce. Dong Qichang was very disgusted with this, so he wrote this article to express his intention.

It is known from the collection seal that the book was collected by Wang Shimin, the head of the "Six Masters of the Early Qing Dynasty".
