Translation of the martyrdom poem: The awe-inspiring righteousness should be returned to space, and the loyalty will last forever and shine for thousands of generations. I have regretted not being able to serve the country in my life, and I have left a loyal soul who still wants to make up for it by killing harm and serving the country.
The original text of the martyrdom poem: The great spirit is still too weak, but the loyalty will shine through the ages. He did not serve the country in his life, but left it as a tribute to his loyal soul.
The author Yang Jisheng was a patriotic general in the Ming Dynasty. He once served as the head of the Nanjing Household Department and a member of the Criminal Department. Yang Jisheng firmly advocated fighting against the invasion of northern Tatars and opposed compromise that would harm the country. First, he went to the court to impeach the general Qiu Luan for harming the country, and then he went to the court to impeach the treacherous prime minister Yan Song, who was poisoned and killed. He was only forty years old when he died.
Yang Jisheng’s noble spirit and integrity of sacrificing his life for justice moved the people of the capital and won their hearts. On the way to escort him to the trial, the streets were filled with people watching, so that the roads were blocked and impassable. He sighed and shed tears. After his death, his friends Wang Shizhen and Wang Lin risked their lives to prepare a coffin to bury him. The people in the capital shed tears and recited his impeachment and martyrdom poems to Yan Songshu. Seven years after Yang Jisheng's death, Yan Song was dismissed from office. In the next ten years, Yan Song reduced his status to the people, confiscated his family property, and Yan Shifan executed him. Eleven years later, Emperor Muzong of the Ming Dynasty came to the throne, rehabilitated Yang Jisheng, and gave him the posthumous title Zhongmin. Therefore, Yang Jisheng is also called "Yang Zhongmin".
This poem was written before he was executed. The first two sentences said that although he died, his majesty still lingered between heaven and earth, shining through the ages. The last two sentences lamented that he died before his ambition was fulfilled, and he couldn't help but feel extremely sad. It's a pity, but if there is a loyal soul left after death, he will definitely repay the country and fulfill his long-cherished wish. There are only two characters in the whole poem, and the heart of loyalty and service to the country is awe-inspiring. It will be easy to be moved by it after reading it for thousands of years.
The poet stated in the poem that his desire to serve the country will not only remain unchanged until death, but will not change even after death. The whole poem is written in one breath, like vomiting your liver and gallbladder, exposing your heart, and hearing the cry of a loyal soul. It is touching. The main idea of ??the poem is: Even though I die, my awe-inspiring righteousness returns to space, and it still remains between heaven and earth. A loyal and loyal heart will shine forever for generations to come. You have not had time to serve the country in this life, and you have to leave a loyal soul to make up for it after your death.
