Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, there have been more than 500 emperors in China, including Liu Bang, Genghis Khan and Zhu Yuanzhang, all of whom are recognized as uneducated emperors. Actually, it's not like this. Zhu Yuanzhang wrote more than 30 poems in his life, some of which are very famous, such as "Chanting Chrysanthemum". As for Liu Bang, the Emperor Gaozu, he wrote only two poems in his life, but one of them became a swan song throughout the ages, and it was a song of great wind.
Liu Bang, the great emperor of the Han Dynasty, was born in an ordinary peasant family, but he didn't like doing farm work and didn't dare to be interested in reading. He wandered about the street all day. Not only did the villagers say that he was idle, but his father Liu Taigong also called him a "rogue". Later, when he became the curator of Surabaya Pavilion, he was actually a small official with little power and salary. Besides, he likes to make friends, so he is basically a moonlight clan.
Liu Bang, Emperor Gaozu, was actually illiterate because he was a farmer. Generally speaking, he can't read, but since you are the emperor, you should have some literary talent. So when he became emperor, people decided to study hard, but he felt that learning was too boring. So he only wrote one poem in his life. That's the song of the wind.
This poem is not a complete poem in the strict sense. It was only sung at a banquet when Liu Bang returned to China, and was recorded as a poem.
The full text of the poem is as follows: The wind is blowing in Yun Fei, the Weaver Maid returns to her hometown at sea, and the brave guards everywhere.
The first sentence of the poem is a rising sentence, which has a very clear symbolic meaning and is a high summary of Liu Bang's life. The wind is surging, so is the change of life. Liu Bang started from a small pavilion, later became the Emperor Gaozu and established the Han Empire. The process of sweeping heroes and achieving something in the middle, like this, changes rapidly.
The second sentence is a statement of ambition, which is Liu Bangyan's own ambition. From the moment he saw Qin Shihuang's military parade, Liu Bang took unifying the whole country as his life ambition, and his life ambition was realized. Recalling the White Snake Uprising, I was so powerless. With the help of people around me, I began to grow stronger and stronger, and I was besieged on all sides. Finally, I achieved the hegemony of Chu and Han and established immortal feats. My ambition in life has come true, and now I am happy to go home.
The third scene is the feeling and experience of life, although I calmed all parties and unified the world. But for those who fought side by side, rebelled against each other and died in battle, where should I find excellent generals to defend the Quartet? This is a feeling and a warning, which shows that Liu Bang is not satisfied with his achievements. He realizes that it is more difficult to stay in business than to start a business.
Later, many writers commented on this poem with only three sentences. I think the pattern of this poem is so large that it is hard to imagine that it was written by a person with a low level of education. So this poem has become a masterpiece through the ages, and it is difficult for future generations to write such a magnificent poem. After all, such a mind is also rare.
