Original text
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!
Jingkang’s shame is still not over. 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.
Translation
I was so angry that my hair stood up and my hat flew off. Climbing high and leaning on the railing alone, I saw that the sudden wind and rain had just stopped. Looking up at the sky, I can't help but scream up to the sky, filled with the heart of serving the country. Although he has established some fame over the past thirty years, it is as insignificant as dust. He has traveled 8,000 miles from north to south and has gone through many turbulent lives. Good men, you should seize the time to make contributions to the country, and don't waste your youth in vain and wait for your old age to be miserable.
The shame of the Jingkang Incident has not been washed away to this day. When will the resentment of being a subject of the country be wiped out! I will drive a chariot to attack Helan Mountain, and even Helan Mountain will be leveled. I am full of lofty ambitions. When I am hungry during the war, I will eat the enemy's flesh. When I am talking and laughing, I will drink the enemy's blood. When I regain the old mountains and rivers, I will report the victory news to the country with the good news!
Notes
Full of rage: so angry that the hair stands on end and the hat is raised. Describing an extremely angry person, the crown refers to the hat rather than the hair standing on end.
Xiaoxiao: describes the rapid rain.
Chang Xiao: When one is emotionally excited, one makes a clear and long sound, which is a lyrical gesture of the ancients.
The dust and dirt of thirty-year fame: I am already thirty years old and have established some fame, but it is very insignificant.
Eight Thousand Miles of Road, Clouds and Moon: Describes the battles in the north and south, the long journey, the stars and the moon.
Easy: easy, casual.
Jingkang Shame: In the second year of Jingkang of Emperor Qinzong of the Song Dynasty (1127), the Jin soldiers captured Bianjing and captured the two emperors of Hui and Qin.
Helan Mountain: Helan Mountain is located at the junction of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region and Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. It was occupied by Jin soldiers at that time. One theory is that it is located in Helan Mountain in Ci County, Handan City, Hebei Province.
Huru (lǔ): a contemptuous name for the Jurchen noble invaders.
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 and had no reinforcements or food, so he had to withdraw to Ezhou (today's Wuchang, Hubei Province). 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
Yue Fei’s words inspire the patriotism of the Chinese nation. During the Anti-Japanese War, this song and lyrics infected the Chinese people with its low but majestic singing voice.
The first four characters, that is, Sima Qian's wonderful description of Lin Xiangru's "anger rising to the top of his crown", shows that this is a deep hatred that cannot be punished. Why is this hatred becoming more intolerable the more I think about it? Zhengyuan goes up to the tall building alone, leaning on the railing, looking at the universe, looking up at the heavens and the earth, and can't help but feel full of enthusiasm and excitement. ——At this time, the autumn rain has stopped, the wind is clear and the smoke is clear, the scenery is better, and the mood is full of excitement, so I look up to the sky and roar to express the heroic ambition of these thousands of Dendrobium trees.
The four characters "Xiaoxiao Yu Xie" were written, and the writing refused to flow straight down. Only when you saw the calmness of your demeanor did you know that it was different from the frivolous words shouted by a crazy man.
The beginning is full of great ambition, overwhelming the mountains and rivers, and it is written with great momentum. Next, if you are mediocre and deliberately sensational, you will definitely search for tense words to attract the fleeting eyes and ears - but then you will say "Thirty years of fame and dust, eight thousand miles of clouds and moons" 14 This word is so unexpected, how can you not be amazed by it! These fourteen words are slightly sung and sighed, as if seeing a general caressing himself for half a lifetime of sorrow, with a strong heart, and the hero is a passionate person, which can be witnessed. Fame is what I expect, but it is as light as dust; driving is not painful, it can be rewarded by the clouds and the moon. (This title means meritorious deeds, and it is used because of the rhythm. It is often seen in Song poetry.) Just look at how broad-minded and insightful this is!
Before and after the film, there was a lot of enthusiasm and gushing: The shame of Jingkang refers to the fact that the two emperors of Hui and Qin were kidnapped and could not return them; therefore, it is said that the resentment of the officials is endless. This is an inevitable reflection of the ancient concepts of monarchs and ministers. Mo Explain the past thousands of years with modern national concepts. When will this hatred be resolved? His fame has been laid in the dust, and he has passed his thirties. At this point, the general said the painful words at the break of the last film, "Don't wait for a moment, the boy's head will turn gray, and there will be no sorrow." Written with deep sorrow, every word has a ring to it!
The following strange words express great ambition, heroic spirit of loyalty and indignation, as majestic as a god. The Gaijin people were rampant and poisoned the Central Plains. They were afraid of Yue's army and were as frightened by the news. Therefore, from the general's point of view, the "Huns" were really not difficult to destroy. They broke through the "Helan" and the Huanglong attacked directly. This was not an exaggeration or self-deception. The couplets of "hungry meal" and "thirty drink" are a little bit offensive; but otherwise it is not enough to express one's emotions and exert one's potential. Those who have not yet felt a sense of recovery are because there is true energy in them.
Some commentators hypothesized: Helan Mountain is in the northwest, and it is thousands of miles away from Huanglong Mansion in the northeast. How can it be negotiated? The famous anti-golden minister Lao Zhao Ding, who defeated the enemy, wrote the poem "Hua Xin Dong", and said: "The weapons in the northwest have not been extinguished, and there are thousands of villages and towns, dreaming of Wu and Yue." Zhang Yuanqian, who was loyal and generous in paying tribute to Hu Quan, wrote " The poem "Yu Meiren" also said: "I want to kill Loulan with a three-foot sword, and I hate the old sayings of Pipa!" These are patriotic poems from the early Southern Song Dynasty. When they talked about the Jin soldiers, they all used "Northwest" and "Loulan" (Han In the Shanshan Kingdom in the Western Regions, Fu Jiezi planned to kill the King of Loulan (according to the "Book of Han: Biography of the Western Regions"). It can be seen that Yue Fei's use of "Helan Mountain" and "Xiongnu" is beyond reproach.
"Start over, clean up the old mountains and rivers, and face the sky!" Full of loyalty and anger, loyalty and blood, poured out from the heart. That is to say, I will discuss it from the perspective of a litterateur, compile the whole article, and be full of energy and energy, without any regrets. Reciting it will make people fascinated and dance! However, before Yue Fei's head was white, the Jin soldiers were in trouble. Due to the treacherous slander, the Song Dynasty abandoned the war and was defeated. "Unwarranted" injustice has been committed through the ages, and those who hear it point out it, how can they expect to see him leading a hundred thousand brave men to come together with the people of the Central Plains to pay homage to Tianque? Sad husband.
This kind of words should not be judged by words. However, even by words, we should also appreciate the depth of writing, the smoothness of the veins, and the deep elegance of emotion. They are all extraordinary and depend on the sound. And singing is a compulsory music art course for the revitalization of China.
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.
