The seven-character rhyme poem for National Day is as follows:
1. Looking back at the virtuous countries and families in the past, success was caused by diligence and frugality, and failure was caused by extravagance. 11. Li Shangyin's "Two Ode to History·Part 2".
Appreciation: This poem was written after the death of Tang Wenzong in the first month of the fifth year of Kaicheng in the Tang Dynasty (840). This poem is titled "Ode to History", and it was actually composed in mourning for Emperor Wenzong of the Tang Dynasty through many allusions from the pre-Tang Dynasty. "Tongjian" records that Wenzong "was a king himself and was well aware of the shortcomings of the two dynasties (referring to Tang Muzong and Tang Jingzong). As soon as he ascended the throne, he worked hard to pursue governance and abandoned extravagance and simplicity."
He tried to save the rule of the Tang Dynasty, and twice attempted to kill the eunuchs and eliminate the shortcomings of the eunuchs' exclusive power, but both ended in failure. Especially the failure of the second attempt to kill the eunuchs (ie the Manna Incident) pushed the Tang Dynasty into the abyss. The poet intuitively felt that the decline of the Tang Dynasty could no longer be saved by a wise monarch, and lamented that Emperor Wenzong of the Tang Dynasty was in bad luck. The poem was shrouded in a fog of sadness and confusion.
2. If I wish to have this life and serve the country, why should I be born in Yumen Pass? 11. Dai Shulun's "Two Songs on the Saigon Part 2".
Appreciation: As a citizen, I am willing to serve the country with my life. If a man has made great achievements, why should he return home alive? The poet instead used Ban Chao's words "I wish I was born in Yumen Pass" to describe the noble character of the patriotic soldiers guarding the border and risking their lives, showing the poet's loyal and patriotic feelings.
3. The monarchs and ministers who crossed the southern border despised the country, and the fathers and elders of the Central Plains looked at the flags. 11. Zhao Mengfu's "Tomb of King Yue'e".
Appreciation: This is a sad and angry song. Yue Fei's tragic death is a major tragedy in Chinese history. Although Yue Fei died unjustly, his famous name will always remain in the hearts of people of all generations. In the fourth year of Jiatai of Emperor Ningzong of the Song Dynasty (1204), Yue Fei was posthumously named King of Hubei. This unjust case was vindicated. It has been 62 years since Yue Fei was murdered.
The tomb of Yue Fei was built on the shore of the beautiful West Lake. Although Yue Fei was granted the title of king and built the tomb, due to years of war, the cemetery was deserted and the scene was desolate. This poem was written to reflect this reality.
4. My heart is like a magnetic needle, and it will not rest until it points to the other side. 11. Wen Tianxiang's "Yangtze River".
Appreciation: My heart is like that magnetic needle, which will never stop until it points south forever. The poet used the "magnetic needle stone" as a metaphor for his loyalty to the Song Dynasty, expressing his determination to overcome many difficulties, return to the south, rebuild the righteous army, and rebuild the country.
5. Naiweng knows the country as well as the soldiers, and knows the reputation of the fortresses and trees. 11. Huang Tingjian's "Send Fan Deru to Know Qingzhou".
Appreciation: Fan Deru is the fourth son of Fan Zhongyan. In the autumn of the eighth year of Yuanfeng (1085), he was appointed to know the important border defense town of Qingzhou. Fan Deru's father and brother both guarded this place and made outstanding achievements. In the spring of the following year, the author saw Fan off and wrote this poem.
