Qiu Si's Writing Background

Writing background of Tianjingsha Qiu Si: Ma Zhiyuan was keen on fame when he was young, but he never succeeded because the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty carried out the policy of national oppression. He has lived a wandering life almost all his life. He was depressed and embarrassed all his life. So I wrote this song "Tianjin Sha Qiu Si" during my trip.

Original poem:

Tianjingsha Qiu Si Yuan Dynasty: Ma Zhiyuan

Old vines are faint crows, small bridges are flowing, and old roads are thin horses.

When the sun sets, heartbroken people are at the end of the world.

Translation:

At dusk, a group of crows landed on an old tree with withered vines and made a piercing cry. Under the small bridge, the running water jingles, and the farmhouse next to the small bridge raises smoke. On the ancient road, a thin horse struggled against the west wind. The sunset gradually lost its luster and set from the west. On a cold night, only lonely travelers wander in the distance.

Extended data:

The name of this piece of music is "Qiu Si", which is a sad autumn work. Susceptibility in autumn is an ancient tradition in China's literary world.

Look at the scenery first: "It's dusk again, and the day is coming to an end. The sunset hung obliquely on the top of the mountain and wanted to stay, so I reluctantly completed the task of the day. The scenery in front of us is really bleak. The vine is dry and lifeless. The tree is a thousand-year-old tree, and the rustling west wind is blowing it to the end of life. Tao is a desolate ancient road, and horses are weak and thin horses. How can people wandering in the ends of the earth be constantly concerned about such a bleak scenery?

Look at this small bridge, people are so peaceful and quiet. So sweet. And my hometown and relatives are so far away from me. Oh, are they okay? The weather is getting colder. Did they add clothes? Did you buy a quilt? There is nothing to worry about in all this. Since it's so worrying, why don't I go back early? For the so-called future? For that so-called fame? Is that fame close to me? Is it far? How long is the way to Beijing? I'm confused.

At this dusk, on this ancient road. It is such a bleak season. Should I continue to pursue fame and fortune? Or will you serve your elderly parents? I can't answer it myself. I have to wander sadly on the long ancient road. "Such bleak scenery makes people feel sad everywhere. Coupled with the quiet and warm bridges, flowing water and people, it makes people feel even more sad and even worse. The beauty of writing scenery is wonderful here!

Look at his words again: "withered, old, faint, ancient and thin, the next words will make you feel very worried, and you can't be yourself in one sentence." As for the article, it can make people cry. The most unique thing is to write the word' thin' in front of the horse. The beauty is that you want to write about people's thinness instead of people. By writing about the thinness of horses, you can see their thinness and their poverty. The hardships of the journey. The hardships of pursuing fame and profit. Reading makes people feel bitter, and singing makes people feel more sad. People who watch this song without tears don't know what it means.
