1. "Gift to Zou Rong in Prison" Qing Dynasty: Zhang Binglin
Zou Rongwu's younger brother was sent to Yingzhou.
Use quick scissors to remove braids and dry beef to make paste.
When a hero is imprisoned, the world becomes sad.
You have to be involved in your fate, there are only two ends of the world!
Explanation of the poem: Zou Rong, my little brother, traveled to the East at a young age
Cut off the tail of the pig with a sharp knife and carry beef as dry food.
When a hero breaks through the prison door, the world will grieve for you.
You have to hold hands before dying, the great glory of death is life! ?
Appreciation: In the 29th year of Guangxu's reign in the Qing Dynasty, the author and Zou Rong were arrested in Shanghai. Zou Rong wrote a book "Revolutionary Army", and the author wrote a preface for him. In addition, he also wrote articles in newspapers criticizing the Manchu Emperor. The author thought that they would not be able to come out alive after being imprisoned this time, so he wrote this poem to Zou Rong to express his solidarity with him in life and death.
2. "Tian Jia Ci" Tang Dynasty: Yuan Zhen
The cattle are strong, the fields are real, and the dry patches knock the cattle's hooves.
I have sown the pearls of grain in the official warehouse, and for sixty years there have been many soldiers, and the sun and the moon have brought food and grain to the wheels.
One day the officers and soldiers collected their sea uniforms and drove cattle to eat beef. When they returned, you got two horns of the cattle.
The hoe and the plow were recast to make a pound, and the aunt and the pounding woman took the wheel of the official. If the official was not enough, they sold the house.
I hope that the officials will win and their enemies will be defeated soon, and the peasants will have their children and calves if they die, and if the officials are not dispatched, the army will have insufficient food.
Interpretation of the poem: It has not rained for a long time, the land is hard, and the oxen pulls the heavy rake, panting step by step. The cow's hooves hit the hard soil, making a "baobao" sound.
The farmer who drove the cattle thought that the cattle were moving too slowly, so he kept waving his whip, making "chacha" sounds, driving and shouting. However, the farmers worked hard all year round and the pearl-like fruits they exchanged with their blood and sweat went into the official warehouses, leaving them with nothing. Because for the past sixty years, wars have been going on, and every year, every month, every day, the food that the officers and soldiers eat is provided by farmers, and is constantly transported to the front line in carts driven by farmers.
Since the beginning of the war between the government and the army to conquer the feudal towns, the imperial court has requisitioned the farmers, including their cattle, carts and farm tools. After farmers drove cattle thousands of miles to transport grain to the front line, even the cattle were slaughtered and eaten by the officers and soldiers, and the farmers returned with only two horns.
But the war is still going on endlessly, and new military defeats are waiting for them. The farmers had to recast their plows and hoes, rework their kilograms, and start a year of hard farming all over again. After harvesting, they transported it to the official warehouse. The gains from their hard work throughout the year were not enough. They even had to sell their houses to buy grain and pay taxes.
I hope the army will win as soon as possible in order to avenge the rebellion in the feudal town. It doesn’t matter to us. If we are exhausted, there will still be another generation. If the cows are killed, there will still be calves. The army will not be short of food. .
Appreciation: In the twelfth year of Yuanhe (817), Yuanzhen obtained dozens of ancient Yuefu poems written by Liu Meng and Li Yu. After reading them, he was so moved that he composed nineteen poems and put them in Jiangling. What he saw and heard in Tongzhou and Tongzhou were written down one by one in this set of ancient Yuefu poems. "Tian Jia Ci" is one of them. This poem vividly expresses his political opinion of "ending the war and revolution". This poem is very unique in art. From beginning to end, it is almost entirely narrated in the farmers' self-narratives and using line drawing techniques. In seemingly peaceful and obedient words, it expresses the farmers' painful voices and contains the farmers' blood and tears, so it has greater authenticity and touching power. Coupled with the arrangement of short sentences, the choice of repeated words, and the rhyme of the rapid and heavy-sounding characters, it not only strengthens the image and musicality of the poem, but also makes the tone and literary sentiment more consistent, deepens the theme, strengthens the emotion, and exaggerates the poem. atmosphere, and makes the characteristics of this ancient-themed music more distinctive. This is the representative work of Yuan Zhen's "Qingyao Yao".
