The last sentence of a night stay in Qinhuai near a restaurant is: Smoke cages with cold water and moon cages with sand.
Original text and translation of "Boarding in Qinhuai":
Smoke cage, cold water, moon cage and sand, I berthed in Qinhuai River near a restaurant at night. The merchant girl does not know the hatred of the country's subjugation, but she still sings the flowers in the backyard across the river. Translation: The blurry moonlight and light smoke cover the cold water and white sand. At night, the boat is anchored at a restaurant on the shore of Qinhuai River. The singing girls don't understand what the hatred of the country's subjugation is, and they are still singing about Yushu and Backyard Flowers across the river.
Notes:
1. Selected from Volume 4 of "Collected Works of Fan Chuan" by Feng Jiwu. (Shanghai Ancient Books Publishing House, 1978 edition). Qinhuai River, also known as Qinhuai River, originates from Damao Mountain in Jurong, Jiangsu Province and Lushan Mountain in Lishuidong, and flows into the Yangtze River through Nanjing. According to legend, it was dug by Qin Shihuang during his southern tour to Kuaiji to dredge the Huaihe River, so it was called Qinhuai River.
2. Smoke: smoke. Mooring: moored. Shangnu: A singer who makes a living by singing. Back Garden Flowers: The abbreviation of the song "Yushu Back Garden Flowers". Chen Shubao, Emperor Chen of the Southern Dynasty (ie Empress Chen), was obsessed with sex and pleasure, and composed this song to have fun with the beauties in his harem, which eventually led to the country's subjugation. Therefore, later generations called this song "the sound of the country's subjugation."
Appreciation:
This poem is inspired by the scene. Jinling was once the capital of the Six Dynasties and prosperous for a time. Witnessing the declining power of the Tang Dynasty today and the ignorance and debauchery of those in power, it is inevitable to repeat the mistakes of the Six Dynasties, which is infinitely sentimental.
Creative background:
Du Mu was very concerned about politics in the early stage, and expressed concern about the Tang Dynasty, which was riddled with holes at that time. He saw the decadence and mediocrity of the ruling group, and saw the vassal towns supporting their troops to consolidate themselves. , seeing the frequent border troubles, felt deeply that social crises were lurking, and the future of the Tang Dynasty was sad. "Bo Qinhuai" was produced on the basis of this idea.
The banks of the Qinhuai River in Jinling, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, have always been a place for high-ranking officials to enjoy and feast, and "Qinhuai" has gradually become a synonym for luxurious life. The poet stayed here at night, saw the feasting and feasting, heard the obscene songs, and was moved by the scene. He also thought of the declining power of the Tang Dynasty and the ignorance and debauchery of those in power. He was filled with emotion and wrote this poem.
