Deep in Zhong Tao.
Ming Dynasty: Qi Jiguang
Build a small pillow for the time being, and you will worry about the old alliance.
Call a bottle to meet, wave a cup and sit and talk.
The cloud is full of toothpicks and the star contains a sword.
I don't want to be sealed, I hope Hai Boping.
Translation:
Our life is very comfortable now. But don't forget, we also have a neighboring country-Japan.
Here comes the guest, pouring wine for dinner. They sat on the wine table and discussed with lively gesticulations how to deal with Japan.
This is a gauntlet and a sword. Just to kill the enemy for our country.
It doesn't matter if I'm blocked or not. I just want to be quiet at sea.
Extended data:
Deep in the bell tower is a poem written by General Qi Jiguang, a strategist of Ming Dynasty, when he was a teenager. The poem describes the author's writing and practicing martial arts in order to resist the Japanese invasion and for the people to live and work in peace and contentment as soon as possible.
"I know from a distance that a knife is floating in the sky, and I dare not forget those dangerous years." It expresses Qi Jiguang's determination to combine his life with the anti-Japanese cause, keep himself at the center of the torrent of the times and make contributions to the nation-state. Qi Jiguang's noble quality of being able to set lofty aspirations in times of national crisis is worth learning. In addition, "I don't want to be a marquis, I just want peace" clearly shows that Qi Jiguang is pursuing the lofty quality of personal fame, rather than expelling the Japanese invaders, defending coastal defense and saving people from fire and water.
