Manjianghong·Writing feelings
Yue Fei [Song Dynasty]
He was so angry that he leaned against the railing and the misty rain stopped. Looking up, looking up to the sky and roaring, with strong feelings. Thirty years of fame and dust, eight thousand miles of clouds and moon. Don't wait any longer. The young man's head will turn gray, and it will be so sad! (Column link: LAN)
Jingkang’s shame has not yet snowed. The hatred of the ministers, when will it be destroyed! Driving a long car, crossing the gap in Helan Mountain. The ambition is to eat the meat of Huns when they are hungry, and to drink the blood of Huns when they are thirsty. Waiting to start over, clean up the old mountains and rivers, and face the sky. (The first work of Ambition: The Strong Man; The First Work of Mountain Queue: Mountain Que)
Translation
I was furious and leaned against the railing. A sudden rain had just stopped. Looking up, shouting loudly to the sky, my heroic mind is violently excited, thirty years of achievements and fame have turned into dust, and there are only floating clouds and bright moon in the thousands of miles. Don't waste your years, turn your head gray, and feel regretful and miserable alone!
The shame of Jingkang Year has not yet been washed away. When can the resentment of a courtier be wiped out! I just want to drive a chariot and break through the enemy's stronghold in Helan Mountain. When the warriors were hungry during the war, they ate the flesh of the Xiongnu, and when they were thirsty while talking and laughing, they drank the blood of the Xiongnu. I want to regain the territory of my old country, and then return to the capital to report my victory to the emperor.

Chaotian (que): meeting the emperor.
Tianque: Originally refers to the building in front of the palace, this refers to the place where the emperor lived.
Creative background
The first theory: Yue Fei made his first Northern Expedition when he was in his early 30s. The second theory: 1136 AD (the sixth year of Shaoxing). In the sixth year of Shaoxing, Yue Fei launched his second Northern Expedition. Yue Fei soon found that he was alone in the expedition, with neither reinforcements nor food, so he had to withdraw to Ezhou (today's Wuchang, Hubei). During this Northern Expedition, Yue Fei's ambition was not fulfilled. When he was guarding Ezhou, he wrote the eternal masterpiece "Man Jiang Hong". The third theory: The specific time of creation of "Man Jiang Hong" should be shortly before Yue Fei was imprisoned.
Appreciation
Although very few of Yue Fei's poems have been passed down, the heroic and tragic poem "Man Jiang Hong" is deeply loved by people. It truly and fully reflects Yue Fei's loyal service to the country. , a passionate heroic spirit. The first part of this song is "full of anger,...empty and sad". It means that I was filled with passion and the feeling of serving the country could no longer be suppressed. I felt so angry that I stood by the railing of the courtyard and watched the autumn rain stop falling. He raised his head and looked into the distance, and screamed at the sky, eager to realize his wish. I am in my thirties and have not yet achieved fame, but I don’t care. Fame is like dust, it is not enough. What is it that I long for? Desire is a battle of eight thousand miles. I will keep fighting as long as the white clouds and the bright moon are my companions on this journey. I can't wait any longer and let the young man's head turn white easily. By then there will be nothing but sadness and anger. This paragraph reflects Yue Fei's eagerness to serve the country through meritorious service.
Next film, "Jingkang's shame,...chaotianque." The national humiliation in the second year of Jingkang has not been washed away. When can the hatred of the courtiers be eliminated? I will ride in my chariot and trample the enemy's lair. When I am hungry, I will eat the enemy's flesh. When I am thirsty, I will drink the enemy's blood. I am ambitious and I believe that I can do this through laughter. When you have regained the mountains and rivers, report your merits to the Emperor of Chaoting! This paragraph expresses Yue Fei's determination and confidence in "returning my rivers and mountains".
This poem represents Yue Fei's heroic ambition to "serve the country with loyalty and loyalty". It shows a kind of righteousness and heroic temperament, and expresses the confidence and optimism of serving the country and making meritorious services. "The ambition is to eat the meat of Huns when they are hungry, and they are laughing and talking about drinking the blood of Huns when they are thirsty." "Serving the head, cleaning up the old mountains and rivers." The ambition to regain the mountains and rivers and the arduous battle are expressed in a spirit of optimism. Reading this poem makes people realize that only people with great ambitions and noble thoughts can write touching words and sentences. In Yue Fei's poem, there is a majestic atmosphere in the words and sentences, which fully expresses the author's ambition to care about the country and serve the country.
From "raging with anger" to "looking up to the sky and screaming", he first wrote about the situation in the courtyard of his home. By watching the rain on the fence, he thought this was a very pleasant life, but he couldn't control the feeling in his heart. Angry and hateful. The sentence "Look up to the sky and roar" expresses the eagerness to serve the country with loyalty.
"Thirty years of fame and dust, eight thousand miles of clouds and moons." illustrates Yue Fei's noble outlook on life. Two sentences clearly explain the author's love and hate, pursuit and disgust. . Yue Fei used "dust and soil"; "clouds and moon" very skillfully here. He expressed his point of view, which was both vivid and poetic.
"Don't wait and see, your young head will turn gray, and your sorrow will be empty." These two sentences are easy to understand, but they have a great effect. Next, the heroic ambition expressed above, eager to regain the mountains and rivers for the country as soon as possible, cannot Waiting for it! When the boy's head turns gray, it's too late to be sad. It ends the poem powerfully with the author's mood expressed in the first part of the poem.
The next part begins with, "The shame of Jingkang has not yet been resolved; the hatred of the ministers, when will it be destroyed?" This highlights the center of the whole poem, why are we eager to expect and have great ambitions, just because of the shame of Jingkang? , a few sentences are very abstract, but they are very good at guarding the crossing, and they also make "driving a long car and crossing the gap in Helan Mountain" concrete. From "driving a long chariot" to "laughing and drinking the blood of the Huns", they all express the resentment against the brutal enemies in an exaggerated way, while also showing heroic confidence and fearless optimism.
"Start from scratch, clean up the old mountains and rivers, and face the sky." Ending with this not only expresses confidence in victory, but also expresses loyalty to the court and the emperor. Yue Fei here does not directly talk about triumph, victory, etc., but uses "cleaning up old mountains and rivers", which seems poetic and vivid.
About the author
Yue Fei (March 24, 1103 - January 27, 1142), male, named Pengju, was born in Tangyin, Xiangzhou (now Tangyin County, Henan Province) people. During the Southern Song Dynasty, he was a famous general, military strategist, strategist, national hero, calligrapher, and poet who fought against the Jin Dynasty. He ranked first among the "Four Generals of the ZTE" in the Southern Song Dynasty. Yue Fei joined the army four times since he was twenty years old. From the second year of Jianyan (1128) when he met Zongze to the eleventh year of Shaoxing (1141), he participated in and directed hundreds of battles, large and small. In January 1142, he was killed together with his eldest son Yue Yun and general Zhang Xian on trumped-up charges. During the reign of Emperor Xiaozong of the Song Dynasty, Zhaoxue was rehabilitated and reburied in Qixialing on the bank of the West Lake. He was posthumously named Wumu, and later Zhongwu, and was granted the title of King of E. Yue Fei was the most outstanding commander in the Southern Song Dynasty. He valued the people's strength to resist the Jin Dynasty and created the "Connect Heshuo" strategy, advocating that the anti-Jin Dynasty rebels north of the Yellow River and the Song army cooperate with each other to attack the Jin army in a pincer manner to regain lost ground. Yue Fei's literary talent is also rare among generals. His immortal poem "Man Jiang Hong" is a patriotic masterpiece that has been passed down through the ages. Buried in Qixialing by the West Lake.
