Chang' an fell, the country was broken, and only the mountains and rivers remained; Spring has come, and the sparsely populated Chang' an city is densely forested. Sad state, can not help but burst into tears, amazing birds, leaving sorrow and hate.
The war lasted for more than half a year, and letters from home were rare, with a hundred thousand gold. Twisting with melancholy, scratching my head and thinking, the more I scratch my white hair, I can hardly insert a hairpin.
Translation: Chang' an fell and the country was broken, leaving only mountains and rivers; Spring has come, and Chang 'an, which is sparsely populated, has dense vegetation. Sentimental state affairs, tears can't help splashing, birds are heart-pounding, which only increases sadness but not hatred. The continuous war has continued until now, and there are few letters at home. A letter is worth tens of thousands of gold. Worried, scratching my head, my white hair is getting shorter and shorter, and I can't insert it.
2. Song Qingzhao of "Summer quatrains"
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.
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.

Appreciation of "Summer quatrains"
This poem is correct and dignified, penetrating people's hearts and pointing to people's backs.
"Life is a hero, and death is a ghost." The first two sentences of the poem are in the air, like a close call, showing the heroic spirit of life and death to the readers, which makes people respect. These two poems are a kind of concise essence, a kind of verve bearing and a fearless attitude towards life. Because of its lofty realm and extraordinary momentum, it has become a famous sentence that has been passed down through the ages.
The last two sentences of the poem, "I miss Xiang Yu so far and refuse to cross Jiangdong", point out the reason. Xiang Yu's most heroic act was because he was "ashamed to meet his elders in Jiangdong" and gave up the spirit of temporarily avoiding the revival of Jiangdong and committed suicide. In the view of the author Li Qingzhao, the extraordinary heroism shown by this failure was particularly valuable when Song Ting crossed the river. The poet praised the spirit of "refusing to cross the Yangtze River" because of his deep feelings about current affairs and expressed his patriotic enthusiasm with historical facts. The word "up to now" skillfully links the past and the present, history and reality in time and space, and reveals the profound intention of satirizing the present by recalling the past.
