Poems about holding the moon

1. "He who can hold a carving is like holding a moon" —— from Hunting in Jiangchengzi Mizhou by Su Shi, a poet in the Song Dynasty, which means—

I will try my best to make the carved bow look like a full moon.

2. The attached original text is as follows:

Jiangchengzi went hunting in Michigan.

I've been talking about juvenile madness, pulling yellow on the left, holding pale on the right, wearing a gold hat and mink fur, riding a thousand troops to roll flat hills. In order to repay the people of the whole city for following my generous hunting proposal, I will shoot this tiger myself like Sun Quan.

I drank wine, my mind was broadened, my courage was more heroic, and my sideburns were slightly white. Why not? When will the emperor send someone down, like Emperor Han sent Feng Tang to the cloud to pardon Shang Wei? I will make my strength as full as the full moon, full as the full moon, heading northwest and shooting at the team in West Xia Jun.

Let me express the lofty ambition of the teenager, holding the yellow dog in his left hand, holding the eagle in his right hand, wearing colorful hats and clothes made of mink, and sweeping the flat hills with thousands of riders. In order to repay the kindness of the whole city to follow me out hunting, I will kill that tiger myself like Sun Quan.

I drank wine, my mind was broadened, my courage was more heroic, and my temples were slightly white, but what's the harm? When will the emperor send someone down, just as Emperor Wen of Han sent Feng Tang to the clouds to forgive Shang Wei's sin (believe me, too)? I will try my best to pull the carved bow like a full moon, aiming at the northwest and shooting at west Xia Jun.

Third, the creative background:

This word was written in 1075 (the eighth year of Zong Shenxi Ning), and the author was appointed as Mizhou (now Zhucheng, Shandong Province). This is a bold and unconstrained word that the Song people expressed their patriotic feelings earlier, which is of pioneering significance in subject matter and artistic conception. The narrative in the first half and the lyricism in the second half are magnificent and refreshing. The first three sentences directly express the meaning of hunting, then write about the clothing and grand occasion of hunting, and then write about your own feelings: I am determined to kill the tiger myself and thank the soldiers and civilians in the city for their kindness. After the film, I described the scene of drinking heartily after hunting, and compared myself with Shang Wei, hoping to shoulder the heavy responsibility of defending the country and the frontier. At the end, I express my heartfelt feelings and express my lofty sentiments of killing the enemy and serving the country: One day, I will pull up the bowstring like a full moon, shoot off the greedy Sirius and wipe out the enemies in the northwest border. This word is unique in the northern song dynasty, with its own system, popular in the trend of relying on red and green, and has a direct impact on patriotic words in the southern song dynasty. The author is also very proud of this. In "Fairy Book", he once said that this word "made the strong men of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty clap and sing, playing flute and drum for the festival, which was quite spectacular" and "a natural family". It can be seen that this word may be the author's first attempt to use words boldly.
