Yue Fei's Red River Yellow Crane Tower
2. Original text:
Looking at the Central Plains from a distance, there are many battlements. Think of that year, flowers covered willows and protected Fengtai Long Ting. Long live the Pearl in front of the mountain, and Penghu Temple is full of songs. Up to now, money is full of effects, and dust is evil. The soldiers are there, and the ointment is on the front line. People live in peace and fill in the gaps. Sighing that mountains and rivers are the same, thousands of villages are sparse. When you ask for a sharp brigade, cross the Qinghe River with a whip. However, I came back and continued my trip to Hanyang, riding a yellow crane.
3. Translation:
Looking up at the Central Plains, I saw that there seemed to be many battlements under the cover of a deserted smoke. Think back to that year! Flowers cover the line of sight, willows cover the city walls, pavilions carve dragons and build phoenixes. Long live the Mountain, Penghu Hall, crowds of ladies-in-waiting, constant singing and dancing, and a prosperous and smooth atmosphere. Now, Land Rover fighters are trampling around the suburbs of the capital, where wars are frequent, dust is flying and the situation is dangerous. Where are the soldiers? Their blood dyed the battlefield red, and their blood moistened the weapons. Where are people? They were killed in the war and their bodies filled the valley. Sigh that the great rivers and mountains are as good as ever, the countryside is barren, and thousands of households are scarce. When will we have the opportunity to kill the enemy and serve the country, lead the elite troops to send troops to the Northern Expedition, cross the river with a whip, sweep the Land Rover in the "suburbs" and recover the Central Plains? Then come back and revisit the Yellow Crane Tower to continue today's tour.
4. Appreciate:
At the turn of the Northern and Southern Song Dynasties, the style of ci changed, and graceful and deep songs were replaced by bold and clear songs. This artistic change is rooted in content, and patriotism becomes the theme of the times. At that time, most of the people who wrote brave words were patriots, including some generals who resisted gold, including Yue Fei. This phenomenon has its inevitability. This song, Man Jiang Hong, is composed of words from grammar, from "thinking about the past", "to the present" and "when will you come back". It has a long history, rigorous structure, distinct levels, concise and bright language, and is characterized by bold use of words.
