After ten years' hard work, I have grinded out a sword. The edge of the sword flashes in cold light, but I haven't tried its sharpness.
Now take it out and show it to you. Whoever is wronged may as well tell me the truth.
It took ten years to sharpen a sword, and the blade was cold and shiny, but I haven't tried it yet. Today, I'll show you. Please tell me who has been wronged.
Appreciation of ancient poetry
Ten years of hard work, grinding out a sword, the blade of the cold light flashing, but did not try its edge.
"Good workers exercised for several years and forged a sword named Longquan." Moreover, this sword is "sharpened in ten years", which shows that it is well-made enough to compete with the legendary Longquan sword. One side at the beginning shows that this sword is extraordinary. Then, be positive: "Frostblade has never tried." The color of this sword is like frost and snow, shining with cold light. This is an extremely sharp sword that has not yet been sharpened. Although "never tried", I am eager to try. When this sword comes out, it will definitely make people "sigh wonderfully" and show the author's full confidence. After years of painstaking cultivation and hard training, the swordsman is full of stunts, but he has never had a chance to show his talents. He can't help but yearn for a chance to show his talents. These two sentences are self-metaphors, meaning that a person's ambition and talent can't be displayed without trying a sword. The poet did not write about his ten-year hard study career, nor did he write about his outstanding talent and grand ideal. However, he can understand the poet's psychology by expressing his will. This way of expressing political ambition with vivid images is really ingenious.
I'll show you today. Who is wronged?
Why did you never show your edge after casting a sword for ten years? Just because the person who can know this treasure hasn't appeared yet. High mountains and flowing water, it is hard to find a bosom friend. Underachievers are like Bian He holding jade. If the person who appreciates himself never shows up, he will cry to death. Fortunately, I have kept a low profile for ten years, and now I finally have to meet my bosom friend-"Jun", so what is there to hesitate about? So today, the swordsman did not hesitate to show his sword and confidently said, "Who is unfair to show you today?" Take this sword out for you today, and tell me, who has grievances in the world? This sentence shows the swordsman's chivalrous demeanor incisively and vividly, as if the sword is ringing in the box and ready to go. Seeing it makes people excited and angry, an ambition and pride eager to display their talents and make a difference.
Gu Jian, written by Guo Zhen in the Tang Dynasty, is also a poem praising the sword, which poeticizes the legend of ancient Longquan sword. There is a line in the poem that "it is useless to bury it again, and the abyss can soar into the sky every night." Just like Jia Dao's the legendary swordsman, he expresses his feelings by chanting swords, and at the same time shows a strong self-confidence. He believes that "God-given talents, let them be hired!" Even if he is in trouble, and he will not be buried after all, he will eventually break through the wall and fly away.
This poem is a natural and ingenious combination of ideology and artistry. Because this poem relies on the sword to pin its ideals, seeking to be different, unrestrained, unskilled and unrestrained. Poets pay attention to proper metaphor, clear meaning and distinct theme. Its outstanding artistic features are plain language, lively poetic thinking, short and pithy poems and capable and generous chivalrous style, which shows another feature of Jia Dao's poetic style. The whole poem is full of emotion and magnificent. After reading it, you can see people in the sword and achieve the artistic effect of combining man and sword. In fact, the artistic achievement of this poem lies not in the formal skills, but in the fullness of the poet's image, which is reflected in a typical and spiritual way. With the tone of swordsman, the poet focused on depicting the images of "sword" and "swordsman", expressing his ambition to promote the advantages and eliminate the disadvantages and realize his political ambitions.
