I. Excerpts from the original text
The Han Dynasty lost power and influence, and Dong Zhuo was in chaos. If you want to usurp the throne, you must first harm the virtuous.
Forced to move to the old state to help the Lord strengthen himself. Xingyi division wants to * * for bad luck at home.
Excellent people come from the east and shine in the sun. The local people are very fragile, and all the soldiers are Hu Qiangren.
Hunting wild cities and besieging cities, I know what I want to break. There is nothing left, and the remains support each other.
Second, translation.
At the end of Han Dynasty, power was out of control, and Dong Zhuo's autocratic power was chaotic. He was bent on plotting to assassinate the king and seize the throne. First of all, he killed many good ministers of the Han Dynasty. Then he burned down the palace of Luoyang ancestral temple, forced the court to move westward to Chang 'an, the old capital, and held the young master hostage to expand his power.
The domestic vassal alliance launched the division of justice, hoping to * * * against Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo's men, Li Jue and Guo Si, sent troops to Hangu to close the plain, and their ferocious armor shone golden in the sun. People in the plain area are weak and unable to resist the invasion of northern Hu Qiang.
Hu Qiang mutinous soldiers trampled crops in the wild, besieged cities, destroyed houses wherever the mutinous soldiers went. They hacked to death, leaving none, and the bones of the dead crossed.
Three. Brief introduction of the author
Cai Yan, Wen Xi, Evonne. The year of birth and death is unknown. A native of Pixian County, Chenliu County in the Eastern Han Dynasty, she was the daughter of Cai Yong, a great writer in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Cai Yan is also good at literature, music and calligraphy. Sui Shu Jing Ji Zhi contains a volume of Cai Wenji Ji, which has been lost. The only works that Cai Wenji can see now are Hu Jia's Two Mourning Poems and Eighteen Beats. There are not many records of Cai Yan's deeds in history, but the story of "Moon Hee returned to Han" has been widely circulated in past dynasties.
Fourth, article appreciation.
Poem of Sorrow and Indignation is the first autobiographical five-character narrative poem of China's poetry history. The 540-word poem truly and vividly depicts the poet's tragic experience in the great turmoil at the end of Han Dynasty, and also writes the blood and tears of the plundered people. It recorded the social unrest and people's miserable life at the end of Han Dynasty, with epic scale and tragic color. The poet's grief and indignation has a certain typical significance, which is the victim's blood and tears complaint against the tragedy maker. Every word is blood, and every sentence is tears.
Cai Wenji's anecdotes and allusions:
It was very cold when Cai Yan interceded for her husband Dong Si. Cao Cao saw that Cai Yan had no shoes and loose hair, so he gave Cai Yan a headscarf and shoes and socks. Cai Yan's father, Cai Yong, once collected many ancient books. Cao Cao asked Cai Yan, "I heard that your family has many ancient books. Do you remember them now? "
Cai Yan said: "At the beginning, my father left me more than 4,000 books, but because of the war and displacement, very few books were preserved. Now I can only write down more than 400 books. " Cao Cao said, "Can I send ten people to write it down with my wife?" Cai Yan said, "Men and women don't give or receive. Give me a pen and paper and I'll write it to you alone." So Cai Yan wrote down the contents of the ancient books he had written down and handed them to Cao Cao without error.
