"There is righteousness in heaven and earth" comes from "Song of Righteousness", which is a five-character ancient poem written by the Southern Song Dynasty poet Wen Tianxiang in prison. The original poem does not have "the sun and the moon are shining brightly".
The beginning of the poem points out that the awe-inspiring righteousness exists between heaven and earth, and it will inevitably be revealed when the time comes. The whole poem is deeply emotional, majestic, straight from the heart, without any embellishments, and fully embodies the author's lofty national integrity and strong patriotism.
The whole poem (excerpt) is as follows:
The heaven and earth have righteousness and are mixed with manifolds. Below are the rivers and mountains, and above are the sun and stars.
To others, it is said to be vast and overwhelming. The imperial road should be Qingyi, Hanhe Tumingting.
The translation is as follows:
There is an upright air between heaven and earth, which gives all things and transforms them into various shapes.
On the lower side, it appears as mountains, rivers, and mountains, and on the upper side, it appears as the sun, moon, stars, and stars.
Extended information:
The heaven and earth have righteousness and are endowed with manifolds. On the first day of the tenth lunar month in 1279, Wen Tianxiang was escorted to Dadu and placed in Guanyi. Kublai Khan, the founder of the Yuan Dynasty, admired Wen Tianxiang's talents. He sent the surrendered Emperor Gong of the Southern Song Dynasty and many groups of surrendered ministers to persuade him. Wen Tianxiang was unmoved and sternly refused. Later, he was imprisoned in the Soldiers and Horses Prison on the fifth day of October (in Jinfu Xue Hutong).
During his three years in prison, Wen Tianxiang wrote hundreds of poems and articles to express his patriotism. In the summer of 1281, amidst the fumigation of the seven gases including heat, rottenness, and filth, Wen Tianxiang generously wrote in prison the sonorous work "Song of Righteousness" that has been passed down through the ages and is very resounding: "There is righteousness in the heaven and earth, and the flow is mixed. Shape. Below are the rivers and mountains, and above are the sun and stars. People say it is so vast that it fills the sky..."
There is only a strong and loyal spirit, and the blue sky is always full of sorrow. At the beginning of 1283, the Yuan Dynasty detected that someone had contacted thousands of people to rebel against the Yuan Dynasty and rescue Wen Tianxiang. On January 8, Kublai Khan, the founder of the Yuan Dynasty, personally brought him to trial, made his final appeal to surrender, and promised to grant him the official position of prime minister. Wen Tianxiang told Kublai Khan: "Besides death, there is nothing you can do."
