National mourning translation

This music song is divided into two parts. Firstly, it describes the heroic scene of Chu soldiers fighting hand-to-hand with the enemy, and then mourns their lofty ambition of dying for their country. As can be seen from the first section, the sun is covered and the enemy is like a cloud. This is a life-and-death battle.

When the enemy came menacingly and rushed into the battle formation of the Chu army, the soldiers of the Chu army still fought bravely for the first place when they wanted to move forward. However, a main chariot rushed out in the battle. The original four-horse cart was shot dead by an arrow on the left and chopped on the right.

However, his master, the commander-in-chief of the Chu army, remained undaunted. He buried the two wheels of the chariot in the soil, put on the reins, and instead raised the mallet to beat the marching drums. At that time, the fighting spirit killed Xiao, which led to the anger of Heaven following Wei. When the murderous look is exhausted, there are only bodies left on the battlefield, lying in the wilderness.
