the Chen Dynasty
Dongting East Jiangxi, the curtain is quiet and the sunset is late. ?
Deng Wu and Shu divided the land horizontally and migrated the lakes and mountains to dusk. ?
Wan Li road is still long, but it is more difficult than three years. ?
In the ancient wind and frost, the old wood is infinitely sad.
Translation:
The magnificent Yueyang Tower stands east of Dongting and west of the Yangtze River. At sunset, there is no evening breeze, and the standard on the pavilion remains the same.
Boarding the border between Wu and Shu, wandering in the dusk of lakes and mountains.
To avoid war, I traveled for three years and Wan Li. What's my mood today?
Going upstairs to pay homage to the ancients, my temples are like frost. Looking at the ancient trees in the distant mountains, there is infinite sadness.
In the spring of the first year of Song Qinzong Jingkang (1 126), the nomads from the northern song dynasty broke through Kaifeng. Like most poets (such as Li Qingzhao) at the turn of the Northern Song Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty, Chen's life experience and literary creation are divided into two periods according to the difficulty of Jing Kang.
Before that, he took the usual path of becoming famous in official career. At the age of 24, he was awarded the title of Song Huizong Zhenghe Scholar for three years (113). He is good at painting and calligraphy and is famous for his poems. He was deeply appreciated by the emperor, and his official position changed repeatedly, but he was unconsciously involved in the whirlpool of political struggle.
When the Jingkang disaster occurred, Chen was demoted to be a small official of Chen Liu (now southeast of Kaifeng, Henan Province) to be a wine tax supervisor, and naturally joined the ranks of refugees, and went south to Hunan, drifting from Hunan to Hunan and being displaced.
He went into exile in Dongting Lake, boarded Yueyang Tower several times, grieved for national affairs with his friends, drank wine to drown his sorrows, and wrote several poems to commemorate his events. This lesson is one of them.
