Xin Qiji: Water Dragon Yin·Crossing South Sword Shuangxi Tower

" Water Dragon Yin·Crossing the Shuangxi Tower of Nanjian"

Author: Xin Qiji

Raising your head to see the floating clouds in the northwest, you need a long sword to lean against the sky thousands of miles away.

People say that this place can be seen late at night, with the glory of bullfights.

I feel that the mountains are high, the pond is empty and the water is cold, and the moon and stars are pale.

Look down when the rhinoceros is about to burn, but you are afraid when leaning on the railing.

The wind and thunder are angry, and the fish and dragons are miserable.

The gorge is opposite the Cangjiang River, passing the dangerous building, and you want to fly but still hold back.

Yuanlong is old!

You might as well lie down high and curl up in a cool mat.

The rise and fall of the ages, the laughter of a hundred years, can be seen in a moment.

I asked who unloaded it again, and tied the sails to the beach and tied them to the sun cable?

Translation:

Look up at the floating clouds in the northwest,

Controlling the vast sky requires a long sword (sword control),

People say In this place, late at night, you can often see the flames of bullfighting (bullfighting is a constellation).

I feel that the mountains are high and the water in the pool is cold.

The moon is bright and the stars are dim, waiting to be lit.

(burning rhino refers to the fire that ignites life, burning rhinoceros) Also refers to a kind of monster),

Leaning on the railing but afraid, the wind and thunder are angry, and the fish and dragon are miserable.

/p>

Your body and mind are exhausted,

You might as well lie down comfortably, cool wine,

Cool mat (mat),

< p> The rise and fall of the ages, the joys and sorrows of a hundred years,

Laughing and cursing, climbing a high building to admire the scenery for a while,

Asking who can let go of the trivial matters of the world,

< p> The shadows of white sails are imprinted on the white sand river bank,

Like cables tied to the setting sun!

Appreciation:

The magnificent rivers and mountains of the motherland show different appearances everywhere. The soft green and soft daisy of Wu and Yue are naturally the incarnation of Xizi; the ten thousand peaks of Fujian and Guangdong pierce the sky, and they seem like the arsenal of Senluo. Many poets and poets from ancient times have given vivid portrayals of them. This poem by the author is a masterpiece.

Nanjianzhou in the Song Dynasty, now Yanping, belongs to Fujian. There are two rivers, Jianxi and Qiaochuan, surrounding it. Shuangxi Tower is at a dangerous point where the two rivers meet. It is not easy to convey the spirit of such a strange and steep scenic spot. The author firmly grasped its characteristic point, that is, the "sword", that is, the mountain with "thousand peaks like swords", and made an all-out depiction. And the sword and the mountain are integrated with the author. At the beginning of the poem, like a general flying from the sky, Ling Yun sharpens his pen and grasps the tall buildings that climb into Qingming and the majestic peaks in his hands, writing. The cold light radiates, and the coldness is threatening. When the Song Dynasty moved south, the author alone supported the southeastern half of the wall and restored the ideal of China, and implicitly contained it in the words. This is such power of writing.

The following three lines of "People say this place", from the story of Yanping and Jin's two swords, reveal the poetic context of the sword's energy rising to the bullfight. It also brings together the cold scenery such as high mountains, empty ponds, cold water, bright moon, and pale stars, and starts with the word "I feel" to give people the feeling of being chilled. Then turn to "burn the rhinoceros and look down" (see "Book of Jin. Biography of Wen Qiao") to find out. "The wind and thunder are angry, the fish and dragons are miserable", one word for anger, one word for misery, followed by the word fear in the previous sentence, from stillness to a thrilling realm, with the anger of tigers and tigers jumping between the lines.

The three sentences under the 锘头 are empty and hard words, but they actually describe gorges, rivers and buildings. The writing style is strong yet tough, full of cooking skills. This is a magical skill that uses the prose style of Liu Zongyuan's travel notes to write lyrics. From Gao Xia's "wanting to fly but holding back", the poet's sad mood was forced to retreat from the fierce national struggle.

"You might as well lie down high, curling in the cold mat", with calm words, barely restrained his soaring ambition. At this time, the author was over fifty-two years old. He was appointed as a prisoner in Fujian and could no longer realize his ambition to regain the Central Plains. The following sentiments about the rise and fall of the ages linger back and forth. On the surface, the mood seems to be low, but it is hidden behind the words. It is also the worry and anger that cannot be forgotten about state affairs.

It is obviously very different from the leisurely and comfortable mood expressed by poets in Jianghu, Shanlin.
