Full-text Translation of Fu on the Red Wall

In autumn in Ren Xu, on July 16, my friends and I went boating under Chibi. The breeze blows gently, but the waves are quiet. Raise a glass to the other half, and recite the chapter "My My Fair Lady" in the bright moon. After a while, the bright moon rose from the back of Dongshan and moved back and forth between Dousu and Niusu. White fog streaked across the river and covered the sky. Indulge a reed-like boat to float freely and cross the endless river. Just like walking in the air with the wind, I don't know where I will stop. It's like I'm going to leave this world to fly, I'm going to become an immortal and enter a fairyland.

At this time, I am very happy to drink, knock on the boat and sing. The song sings: "laurel wooden boats and vanilla paddles are flapping clear waves in the moonlight and going upstream on the moonlight water." My feelings are far away, looking at the beautiful scenery, but on the other side of the sky. " There are also guests who can play the flute, accompanied by the rhythm of the song. The sound of the flute is like mourning, like hope, like weeping, like complaining, and the lingering sound echoes on the river like silk. Can make the dragon in the deep valley dance for it, can make the widow in the lonely boat cry for it.

I also looked sad, adjusted my skirt and sat up straight, asking the guest, "Why is the flute so sad?" The guest replied: "The moon stars are rare, and birds fly south." Isn't this a poem by Cao Gong and Meng De? From here, you can see Xiakou in the west and Wuchang in the east. The mountains and rivers are contiguous, and at first glance, it is gloomy. Isn't that where Cao Mengde was besieged by Zhou Yu? At the beginning, Jingzhou was captured, Jiangling was captured, and it went down the Yangtze River. His warships are connected end to end, stretching for thousands of miles, with flags covering the sky. Facing the great river, he poured wine and recited poems with a spear. He used to be a contemporary hero, but where is he now?

Besides, you and I are fishing and chopping wood in a small continent in the middle of the river, with fish and shrimp as partners and elk as friends. We are driving this boat on the river, raising cups and toasting each other, just like a mayfly in the vast world, as small as a millet in the sea. Alas, sighing that our life is only a short moment, we can't help but envy the endless Yangtze River. I want to travel around the world hand in hand with the gods and embrace the bright moon forever. Knowing that these can't be realized after all, I have to turn my regret into a flute and entrust it to the sad autumn wind. "

I asked, "Do you know this water and the moon? The passage of time is like this water, but it has not really passed away; When the circle disappears, just like this month, there is no increase or decrease after all. It can be seen that from the changeable side of things, everything between heaven and earth is constantly changing, even stopping in the blink of an eye; From the unchangeable side of things, everything is eternal to us, so what is there to envy? Besides, between heaven and earth, everything has its own master, and if it is not what it should be, it will not even get a penny. Only the breeze on the river and the bright moon in the mountains become sounds when they are heard, and all kinds of colors are drawn when they enter the eyes. No one will forbid you to get these things, and there will be no worries about feelings. This is an inexhaustible treasure given by nature, and you and I can share it together. "

The guest smiled happily, washed the glass and filled it again. All the vegetables and fruits have been eaten, and the cups and plates are in a mess. Everyone slept on the boat with pillows on each other, and before you know it, there was a white dawn in the East.

Extended data:

The Red Wall Fu was written during Su Shi's relegation to Huangzhou, which was one of the most difficult periods in his life. In the second year of Yuanfeng (1079), Su Shi was accused of defaming the imperial court for writing a poem "Xie Shangbiao in Huzhou", impeached by Yushi and accused of defaming the imperial court. History is called "Wutai Poetry Case". "After several reconstructions", he was tortured. After being rescued by many parties, he was released in1February of that year and was demoted to deputy ambassador of Huangzhou Youth League Training, but "no official contract, no unauthorized placement." This is undoubtedly a "semi-prisoner" controlled life. In the fifth year of Yuanfeng, Su Shi visited Chibi twice in July 16 and 10/5, and wrote two poems about Chibi. Later generations called the first poem "Red Cliff Fu" and the second poem "Back Red Cliff Fu".

In the Song Dynasty, Luo Dajing's He Lu: Tai Shigong's Biography of Boyi and Su Dongpo's Red Cliff Fu were also masterpieces. Its axis is slightly similar to the Biography of Boyi, asking questions in the language of seeking benevolence and benevolence, saying that the master said he didn't complain, but picking poems from Wei was still complaining. Gai Tiandao has no relatives and often stays with good people. Those who have misbehaved in ancient and modern times are happier. Just and angry people can't help complaining when they are in trouble. Although wealth is sufficient, moral integrity is acceptable, its emphasis is here, and its lightness is there. Besides, the gentleman is ill and nameless, and Boyi Yanzi is a famous scholar, and his income is already too much. Any complaints?

"Red Wall Fu" is full of resentment and envy because of the flute playing by guests, so it is casually asked that the wine belongs to each other, and the boundless land can be described as the most enjoyable, but is it sad to play the flute? This is the place where Zhou Lang defeated Tsao Gong, and Tsao Gong's heroic home will finally be settled. Besides, it is appropriate for me and my son to send ephemera to heaven and earth to mourn for my life and make it sound sad. Although we can't see heaven and earth in an instant from its changers, if we look at it from its changers, things are infinite. Why envy the Yangtze River and lament my life! The inexhaustible mountains and rivers in the Qing Dynasty are the greatest pleasure in the world. So wash the lamp more carefully, feel sorry, the wind will thaw. Dongpo's steps are too official.
