Seven mourning poems
The moon shines on the tall buildings, and the lights upstairs are swaying.
There is a sad woman sighing upstairs.
Who is the sigh upstairs? The answer is a wife in another place.
My husband has been away for more than ten years, and he is often timid alone.
My husband is like dust on the road, like mud in dirty water.
Floating dust and mud are different, when can we meet harmoniously?
Yes, I want to turn into a southwest wind and disappear into my husband's arms!
My husband's heart is no longer open to me. What can I rely on?
Vernacular translation:
The bright moon shines on tall buildings, and the light shed swings upstairs.
There is a sad woman upstairs, sighing sadly.
Who is sighing upstairs? Answered that it was the wife of a foreign tourist.
My husband has been gone for more than ten years, and my body is often alone.
My husband is like dust on the road, and my body is like mud in dirty water.
Floating dust and settling mud are different. When will they meet and live in harmony?
If I can, I would like to turn into a southwest wind and disappear into my husband's arms!
My husband's mind is no longer open to me, so what can I rely on?
Creative background:
After Cao Cao's death, Cao Pi succeeded to the throne and was very wary of Cao Zhi. Cao Zhi is ambitious and has nowhere to display, but his brothers and sisters are wary of him everywhere, which makes Cao Zhi disheartened. Knowing that fame and fortune were hopeless, Cao Zhi pinned his sorrow on the sorrow of a dissatisfied wife who shared his joys and sorrows.
Seven Wounded Poems is a five-character poem by Cao Zhi, a poet in Wei and Jin Dynasties. This poem borrows a homesick woman's thoughts and resentment towards her husband, and compares her husband's estrangement from Emperor Cao Pi to "more than a passer-by" and "more than a moon and lake", which twists and turns reveals the poet's resentment after being hit politically.
Cao Zhi (192-232 65438+ February 27th) was born in Qiao County (now Bozhou City, Anhui Province), in Dongwuyang (now Shenxian County, called Juancheng City), the third son of Cao Cao and Wu Xuanbian, who was Chen Wang before his death.
Cao Zhi was a famous writer in the Three Kingdoms period. As one of the representative figures and epitomizers of Jian 'an literature, [2] was promoted to the status of an article model in the Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. His representative works include Luo Shen Fu, White Horse, Seven Wounded Poems, etc. Because of his literary attainments, later generations are called "Three Caos" with Cao Cao and Cao Pi. His poems are good at vigorous brushwork and thrush, and have been lost in 30 volumes. Today, The Collection of Cao Zijian was compiled by Song people. Cao Zhi's prose also has the characteristics of "appealing to both refined and popular tastes and elegant style", and its genre is rich and diverse, which makes him make outstanding achievements in this respect. Xie Lingyun, a writer in the Southern Song Dynasty, commented that "there is only one stone in the world, and Cao Zijian monopolizes eight fights". Zhong Rong, a literary critic, also praised Cao Zhi for his "extraordinary personality, colorful words, elegant feelings, elegant posture and outstanding style of writing." He is listed as the poet with the highest quality of poetry. Wang Shizhen evaluated the poets who have lived for two thousand years since the Han and Wei Dynasties as "immortals", including Cao Zhi, Li Bai and Su Shi.
