Translation of "Showing the Son"
I knew that there would be nothing after I died, but I felt sad and could not see the reunification of the country.
Don't forget to tell me when you hold a family festival when the army of the Song Dynasty regained the lost land in the Central Plains! The original poem
in "Show Your Son" knows that everything is empty when you die, but you are sad when you don't see Kyushu.
Julian Waghann decided to celebrate the Central Plains Day in the north, and the family sacrifice was never forgotten. The poem
Thoughts and Feelings in Showing the Son expresses the poet's lifelong worries and infinite hopes, and expresses his strong patriotic enthusiasm for regaining lost ground and reunifying the motherland. From the poems "Everything is empty when you die" and "It's an honor to tell a family sacrifice without forgetting", we can appreciate the author's patriotism. Although he clearly knew that people knew nothing when they died, he still told his children and grandchildren not to forget to tell him the news of recovering the Central Plains after his death. This contradictory statement shows the patriotic enthusiasm of the poet who can't see the reunification of the motherland and is unwilling to die, and expresses his thoughts and feelings that he can't see the reunification of the motherland and die unsatisfied. Appreciating
Lu You lived in an era when ethnic contradictions were extremely acute in China's history. Lu You, as an outstanding representative on the literary front, devoted his whole life to the battle cry of the Northern Expedition to resist gold, and always held the belief that the Han nationality must recover the Central Plains at that time. Although he frequently encountered setbacks, he never changed his original intention and showed a high degree of patriotism.
This seven-character quatrain is Lu You's masterpiece. It was written in the third year of Ningzong Jiading in the Southern Song Dynasty (121). It is not only the poet's last will to his son, but also his last call for the war of resistance. It is another famous piece in his patriotic poems.
the first sentence shows that the poet is about to die, and everything is empty, and sadness and desolation arise. The seemingly ordinary words have played a powerful role in contrast to the "sadness" below.
The second sentence describes the poet's sad mood. A state of great sadness that can't be ruled out until death is that I feel deeply sorry and unwilling to see the reunification of the motherland with my own eyes.
The third sentence shows that although the poet is in deep sorrow, he is not desperate, and he firmly believes that the army of the Song Dynasty will be able to pacify the Central Plains and recover the lost land one day. With this sentence, the emotional appeal of the poem will change from grief to passion.
In the last sentence, my mood changed again, but I couldn't see the day when the motherland was reunified, so I had to pin my hopes on future generations. Its exhortation to show courage is extremely aboveboard and inspiring.
in just 28 words, the poet's firm belief and tragic wish are expressed, which fully reflects how persistent, deep, warm and sincere Lu You (who was 85 years old at that time) is in his passion for patriotism and serving the country.
The language of the whole poem is true to sculpture, and it expresses the poet's lifelong wish and his full sorrow. The twists and turns of the pen and the changeable style of writing truly express the poet's complex thoughts and emotions and patriotic feelings of worrying about the country and the people at the end of his life, which not only has endless resentment against the great cause of gold, but also has firm belief that the sacred cause will be achieved.
The whole poem contains sadness, but the tone is passionate. The emotion contained and accumulated in the poem is extremely deep, intense and sincere, but it is expressed in extremely simple and plain language, thus naturally achieving a real and touching artistic effect, which is more beautiful and touching than the deliberately carved poem.
this poem is "tragic and painful" and "weeping for ghosts and gods", praising Lu You's patriotic spirit. Brief introduction of Lu You
