Tang Dynasty: King Robin
Cicadas sing in the west, and guests think of the south. (guests ponder: guests think of invasion)
I can't stand the shadow on my temple to break the heart of a white-haired prisoner. (unbearable: that's comparable)
His flight passed through the thick fog, and his pure voice was drowned in the world of wind.
Who knows if he is still singing? Who will listen to me? ?
translate
In late autumn, cicadas are singing outside the Western Wall, which brings the sadness of my prisoner, towards the distant. How can I stand the good times in Hyun Bin's heyday and recite such a sad poem by myself? The wings are thin and want to fly, and the human cold can't be kept. The wind is loud and easy to sink, but it is difficult to protect its fragrance. No one knows that I am as pure and noble as Qiu Chan. Who can express my pure heart of ice crystals for me?
Background of extended data creation
This poem was written in the third year of Yifeng, Tang Gaozong (678). At that time, King Robin, who had been demoted for more than ten years and had just been promoted to empire, was falsely accused of accepting bribes and imprisoned. He dared to contradict his boss and use his knife to write, so he was imprisoned by the authorities on charges of "accepting bribes" and "touching the marquis of Wu". This poem was written by King Robin in prison.
There is a kind of pride and grievance in Luo's character. His talent is amazing, but his career is not good. At first, imperial examinations often stayed standing. Later, Tao Wang Li took a fancy to him and called him Mu Bin. Li is the sixteenth son and half-brother. He has always attached great importance to talents. But Wang was also proud under Li, and Li later had to stay away from him.
Later, Wang Luobin found another way out and went beyond the Great Wall. He had several years' military career, so later generations once thought that he was the first famous poet in the frontier fortress desert in the Tang Dynasty and the pioneer of frontier fortress poetry in the Tang Dynasty.
Later, King Robin returned to Chang 'an, where he was appointed as a micro-official. In Chang 'an, he, like Lu, was full of grievances and criticisms, and wrote the famous Long song's Dijing Chapter, which exposed the noise and darkness behind the prosperity of Chang 'an at that time. As far as Luo's Dijing Pian and Lu's Chang 'an Ancient Meaning are concerned, they are double gems, and Dijing Pian is before today's Chang 'an Ancient Meaning.
Wang Luobin finally achieved the position of an ancient scholar. In just a few months, he wrote many letters that angered the then ruling Wu Group, so he was framed and imprisoned. So, Wang Luobin, who was sad and inexplicable, wrote this famous work-"A Political Prisoner Listening to Cicada" in prison, saying, "Who knows if he is still singing?" To express his heart. Who will listen to me? ”。
After being detained for more than a year, Luo was finally released from prison. Since then, he has also been a small official, but most of the time he is wandering in rivers and lakes and wandering around the world.
