What does Qu Yuan's ancient poem "Mourning the Country" mean?

Sword in hand, wearing leather armor, chariots staggered, sword and blade.

Enemy, the flag is like a dark cloud and the arrow is on the string.

He violated my position and trampled on my team. My left relative died and my right relative was stabbed.

Bury two rounds, trip four horses, and beat drums with jade mallets.

Then I will be furious, kill vilen mercilessly and abandon him.

No return, no return, the plain is hazy and the road is very remote.

Wearing a long sword, holding a strong crossbow, leaving your head, Zhuang Xin will not change.

Brave and fearless, you are the most. You will stick to your post until you die.

The body is dead, the spirit will never die, and your soul is the ghost of a hero!

"Appreciating the National Funeral" is one of the nine songs written by Qu Yuan to offer sacrifices to ghosts and gods. It is about mourning and praising the soul of Chu soldiers who died for their country.

This music song is divided into two parts. Firstly, it describes the heroic scene of Chu soldiers fighting hand-to-hand with the enemy, and then mourns their lofty ambition of dying for their country. As can be seen from the first section, the sun is covered and the enemy is like a cloud. This is a life-and-death battle. When the enemy came menacingly and rushed into the battle formation of the Chu army, the soldiers of the Chu army still fought bravely for the first place when they wanted to move forward. However, a main battle vehicle rushed out of the battle. This original four-horse cart, although the Hummer on the left has been shot to death and the Hummer on the right has been chopped, its owner, Commander-in-Chief of Chu Army, is still fearless. He buried the two wheels of the chariot in the soil, locked the reins in the cage, but raised the mallet to beat the marching drums. At that time, the fighting spirit killed Xiao, which led to the anger of Heaven following Wei. When the murderous look is exhausted, there are only bodies left on the battlefield, lying in the wilderness.

The author has a high ability to describe the scene and render the atmosphere. However, in ten sentences, a life-and-death battle is vividly written and extremely infectious. In their bones, they eulogized the dead soldiers with emotional strokes. I feel that since they put on armor one day, they never want to get away with it again. At this moment, they lay there peacefully and without regret, clutching their weapons. He could hardly contain his emotions. He is full of love for these soldiers, just as he often refers to beautiful people with beautiful herbs. In this article, he also decorated his characters with all beautiful things. These brave soldiers are famous for their sharp bows made in Wu and powerful bows made in Qin. They are wearing rhinoceros leather armor and holding drumsticks embedded with jade. They are outstanding people in life, but they die ghosts and heroes. The name of England will live forever.

According to the existing historical data, we can't point out the specific time and place of the war and who is the hostile party. However, on that day, Chu was always threatened by Qin, the most powerful of the seven countries. Since Chu Huaiwang came to power, there have been several large-scale wars between Chu and Qiang Qin, most of which were Chu's patriotic war against Qin Jun's invasion. From this basic historical fact, it is probably no problem to say that this article is about the Chu army's resistance to Qiang Qin's invasion. In this description, the author's passion for the motherland is vividly expressed.

After the demise of Chu, there was a saying in Chu: "Although there are three Chu schools, Qin will die." In this work, Qu Yuan mourns the fallen soldiers, but at the same time vaguely expresses his desire to avenge the national humiliation and his belief in the victory of the just cause. In this sense, his thoughts are closely related to the Chu people. As the first great poet of the Chinese nation who made contributions to mankind, what he wrote was not just a little personal sadness and joy, but was framed, rejected and even exiled in Yuanxiang. ? Suffering; What he dedicated to people was his almost paranoid patriotism.

He is the throat of the Chu people, and his national mourning, including a series of other works, expresses the patriotic aspirations of the Chu people.
