The original poem of Marco Polo's corpse

The reference book answers like this: "Marco Polo Wrapped Body" comes from the Biography of Ma Yuan in the later Han Dynasty. Ma Yuan, a famous man in the Eastern Han Dynasty, once said, "When a person dies in the border field, his ears should be buried with them when they die in their boots." In the Qing Dynasty, Gong Zizhen pushed the meaning of his predecessors to a higher level, which led to the famous sentence "Why should I wear boots and be buried everywhere in the green hills" in a past miscellaneous poem. "Loyal bone" refers to the remains of loyal ministers, here refers to the remains of Mao and martyrs. "Why" means why, which means "no need, no need". "Wrapped in horse skin" is to wrap the body. Since the revolutionaries have devoted all their hearts and minds to the motherland, there is no need to consider whether to transport the remains back to their hometown for burial after death, even if they are buried in a foreign land. This is not only a high evaluation of the martyr Mao, but also shows his attitude towards the burial of his son's body, that is, respecting the wishes of the Korean people and burying his son in North Korea, which fully shows his broad mind as a proletarian revolutionary.

A more exact answer, such as how Gong Zizhen's poems were written? Some time ago, I have searched the internet for information about this question, and I searched everywhere for the answer, which is not uniform. Generally speaking, there are two answers:

First, "Castle Peak is full of loyal bones" seems to be changed from "Castle Peak is fortunate to bury loyal bones, and white iron casts innocent courtiers". This is a couplet carved on the stone pillar of Wang Yue's tomb in West Lake. "Why did they die in boots" should come from Qing Xu Xilin's The Embankment. "Military songs to sing broadsword ring, vowed to destroy Hu Nu, a jade pass. Only for the country to break the family and solve the battlefield, why are they still wearing boots when they die! " This allusion comes from the Biography of Ma Yuan in the later Han Dynasty.

Second: This poem is from Saigō Takamori. The original poem is

This man is determined to go out of the countryside.

Never pay it back if you are not famous.

Castle peak is full of loyalty.

Why were they wearing boots when they died?

Read the Biography of Mao Zedong, which reads: 19 10 In autumn, Mao Zedong left Shaoshan, isolated from the world, and went to the wider world outside. This is the first turning point in his life. His excitement is imaginable. Before he left, he rewritten a poem and put it in his father's diary:

"The child is determined to go to the country,

If you don't learn to be famous, you will never pay it back.

Why bury bones in mulberry fields,

Life is everywhere. "

Mao Zedong wrote many poems and didn't care about the word "rewriting" at that time. Later, I went through the Complete Poems of Mao Zedong and found the "rewritten" poem Four Wonders: Changing Saigō Takamori's Poems into My Father's. What a shock! What a shock! It turned out to be Saigō Takamori's poem (Saigō Takamori (1828- 1877) was a famous Japanese strategist and politician during the Meiji Restoration, and he was called "the Three Renaissance Masters" together with Kengo Kuma and Kato Takashi)! It is difficult to connect Saigō Takamori with Lao Mao. I thought Lao Mao was just "stupid enough to get close to others and take care of Ceng Wenzheng alone". What is the original poem of Xixiang? I searched the internet and found the original work of Xixiang, which shocked me again! Xixiangyuan:

This man is determined to go out of the countryside.

Never pay it back if you are not famous.

Castle peak is full of loyalty.

Why were they wearing boots when they died?
