Words:
Song and Xia quatrains: Li Qingzhao
Live and be a man among men; Die and become the soul in the soul.
Today, people still miss Xiang Yu because he refused to live and returned to the East.
Explanation:
You should be born a hero and die a ghost.
To this day, people still miss Xiang Yu because he refused to drag out an ignoble existence and returned to Jiangdong.
Precautions:
1, hero: a hero among people. Emperor Gaozu once praised the founding heroes Sean, Xiao He and Han Xin as "outstanding figures".
2. Ghost hero: the hero in the ghost.
3. Xiang Yu: At the end of Qin Dynasty, he stood on his own as the overlord of Western Chu and competed with Liu Bang for the world. In the Battle of Gaixia, he was defeated and committed suicide.
4. Jiangdong: the place where Xiang Yu fought with his uncle Xiang Liang.
Creative background:
In the second year of Jingkang (1 127), Jin Bing invaded the Central Plains, destroyed the Qionglou Yuyuan Garden in the Song Dynasty, and took away the Hui and Qin emperors. Zhao Song was forced to flee south. Later, Li Qingzhao's husband Zhao Mingcheng became a health magistrate.
One night, a rebellion broke out in the city. Instead of counterinsurgency, Zhao Mingcheng chickened out. Li Qingzhao is ashamed of her country and her husband. When she passed the Wujiang River, she felt the solemn and stirring of Xiang Yu and wrote this poem. This sickly woman refused to return to Jiangdong when Xiang Yu was defeated, which also satirized the government of the Southern Song Dynasty.
Extended data:
This poem clearly puts forward the value orientation of life: people should be heroes in life and contribute to the country; Even if you die, you have to die for your country and become a hero in ghosts.
The rulers of the southern song dynasty ignored the lives of the people and only cared about their own escape; Abandon the rivers and mountains of the Central Plains and drag out an ignoble existence. Then, the poet remembered Xiang Yu. Xiang Yu broke through to Wujiang, and the director of Wujiang Pavilion advised him to cross the river quickly and return to Jiangdong for assembly. Xiang Yu felt ashamed to see his elders in Jiangdong, so he turned around and killed hundreds of enemy troops, and then committed suicide.
The poet lashed out at the shameless behavior of the rulers in the Southern Song Dynasty, and used the ancient times to satirize the present, which was awe-inspiring. There are only twenty words in the whole poem, and three allusions are used in succession, but it's no harm to pile them up, because they are all the poet's voices. The poems that hit the floor are so generous and vigorous, all written by women, which really makes people overwhelmed.
