Why did "Qi Jiguang" write the poem "Don't look at Hou Anning"?

The creation of this poem truly reflects Qi Jiguang's ideal. In the face of turbulent seas, Qi Jiguang's heart is full of sense of responsibility. This sense of responsibility is not an extravagant dream of honoring ancestors, but an ideal of defending the country and serving the people.

original text

Deep in Zhong Tao.

Ming Dynasty: Qi Jiguang

Build a small pillow for the time being, and you will worry about the old alliance.

Call a bottle to meet, wave a cup and sit and talk.

The cloud is full of toothpicks and the star contains a sword.

I don't want to be sealed, I hope Hai Boping.

Creation background

Qi Jiguang's poem "Towering Up into the Sky" comes from the collection of poems "Stop the Hall and Horizontal Manuscripts" written by Qi Jiguang when he was the director of Deng Zhouwei. Life in Qi Jiguang was peaceful at that time. In addition to handling official business every day, I study behind closed doors. However, he is not reconciled to this mediocre life, and is eager to make a career and devote his life to the peace of the frontier. So in the blank of a military book, he wrote such a poem.
