Zhao Yu's epic Du Kangbei stabbed the king of Qin with Jing Ke.

Ducombe Zhao Yu

Jing Ke's sword is unparalleled in the world, and the waves will be seven feet for Qiang Qin's martyrdom.

Qiu Yan didn't repay Qiu Han, but she looked like a woman.

"Du Kang" is an ancient place name, located in the east of Zhuoxian County, Hebei Province, across the county boundaries of Zhuoxian County, Gu 'an County and Xincheng County. Among them, Kitazawa, more than ten miles on Friday. Branches and canals extend in all directions, which is a famous rich area of Yan State during the Warring States Period. Jing Ke stabbed the king of Qin to death on the grounds of presenting a map of Du Kang. When Zhao Yu passed by Du Kang's hometown during his service, he remembered the story of Jing Ke and wrote this unique epic.

"Bao Jianfeng has been brave and brave, and the waves will be seven feet for Qiang Qin." Jing Ke is an assassin hired by Yan Taizi Dan. With a dagger on his back, he took Qiang Qin by surprise and sang "The wind blows and the water cools, and a strong man is gone forever" in Yishui, which can also be described as "unparalleled courage (fierceness)". However, he was not prepared enough and was urged to travel in a hurry by Yan Taizi Dan. His partner Qin Wuyang failed again. So his assassination ended in failure. The word "martyrdom" once again affirmed Jing Ke's bravery in repaying kindness with a wise man. And the word "wave" (relaxed, casual) definitely makes this reservation. He obviously thinks that Jing Ke's death was in vain and not worth it. If poetry only ends here, it is not brilliant. Predecessors have already had this view. For example, Gong Xian, who is a little older than the author, has a poem "If you don't read the biographies of Jing Ke, you will be ashamed to be a swordsman" (boat).

"Qiu Yan didn't report Qiu Han's revenge, but she looks like a woman." At the turning point of the last two sentences, Jing Ke associated with Sean, which is somewhat new. The beauty of this association is that Sean and Jing Ke have done similar things and made detours. After South Korea was destroyed by the State of Qin, as the son of South Korea, he "learned that he would stab the King of Qin with his family wealth to avenge South Korea" (Historical Records: Leaving Hou Shi). As a result, I stabbed a hornet's nest in Bolangsha and fled to Pi. Fortunately, not dying gave Sean a chance to reflect on his lessons, thanks to Huang Shigong's teaching of the art of war. Later, he assisted Liu Bang, the Emperor Gaozu of Han Dynasty, and finally destroyed Qin and avenged his motherland. "Qiu Yan didn't repay Qiu Han", these seven words are profound and thought-provoking. To do such a great cause as national revenge, only the courage of ordinary people is unreliable, and you must have foresight and great wisdom. Jing Ke is not qualified, but Sean is. The most interesting thing is that the poet suddenly associated with Tai Shigong's feelings: "Shang (Liu Bang) said,' A husband is better than a thousand miles away, and I am not as good as an ovary'." I thought he was a big shot. Look at the photos. She looks like a good woman. Gai Confucius said,' Judge a person by his appearance, but he loses his feathers.' Stay with Hou. At the end of the poem, the image of Sean, who looks like a woman, is in sharp contrast with the image of Jing Ke who died for his country with his sword. From the outside, Jing Ke is more like a warrior; I have no idea that Zhang Liang, who looks like a lady, is really brave.

Through the comparison of historical figures and deeds, this poem vividly proves the profound truth of "being good as water" (The Art of War by Sun Tzu). It also eloquently explains the equally profound truth that "a person can't judge by his appearance, but the sea can't be measured."
