1. "Five Poems of Indignation·Part 1" Song Dynasty: Lu You
In his early years, he knew that the world was difficult, and the Central Plains looked to the north like a mountain.
The building boat crosses Guazhou in the snowy night, and the iron horse disperses in the strong autumn wind.
I walled the Great Wall and promised myself that it would be empty, but the faded hair on my temples was already stained in the mirror.
If you are a master and have a true reputation in the world, who can compare with you in a thousand years!
Interpretation:
When I was young, I determined to make the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, but I never imagined that it would be so difficult. I often look north to the land of the Central Plains, and my blood boils with passion and my resentment is like a mountain.
I remember beating up the Jin soldiers at Guazhou Crossing, and flying warships on a snowy night. In the autumn wind, the horses galloped freely, and the good news of regaining Dashan Pass came frequently.
I think back then I compared myself to the Great Wall and had great ambitions to eliminate border troubles for my motherland. Nowadays, my hair is as old as frost, and my hopes for the Northern Expedition and recovery are all empty talk.
People can’t help but remember Zhuge Kongming. His reputation as a master of military affairs is truly well-deserved. Who can be like Zhuge Liang who dedicated his life and led the three armies to restore the Han Dynasty and conquer the Central Plains!

I am smiling to the sky with my horizontal sword, leaving my liver and gallbladder intact.
Interpretation:
The life of a fugitive was so tense that when he saw someone’s home, he would come to stay. I hope that Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao, who fled, can be protected by people like Zhang Jian. I also hope that my comrades can endure death and wait to complete the great cause of reform like Dugan.
I walked out with a sword, looking up to the sky and laughing, because those who left and those who stayed were sincere and upright, just like the majestic Kunlun Mountains.
3. "Farewell to the Clouds" Ming Dynasty: Xia Wanchun
I have been a tourist for three years, and today I am in Nanguan again.
Infinite mountains and rivers tears, who said the world is broad! (Shanhe 1: Heshan)
It is known that the spring road is close, and it is difficult to leave my hometown.
On the day when Yipo returns, the spiritual flag can be seen in the sky.
Interpretation:
I have been wandering around for three years fighting against the Qing Dynasty. Today I was defeated and captured and imprisoned in a prison cell.
Infinitely beautiful rivers and mountains are lost, hurt and shed tears, who dares to say that heaven is vast and vast.
Already knowing that the road to hell is approaching, it is really hard to think of leaving my hometown forever.
On the day when the ghost spirit returns, he will look at the mountains and rivers of his hometown under the spiritual flag.
4. "Sickness arose from the book" Song Dynasty: Lu You
The sick bones were torn apart and the hair was wide, and the lonely minister traveled thousands of miles to Jianggan.
I dare not forget about my country despite my humble position. The matter is settled and I still have to wait for the coffin to be closed.
The gods of heaven and earth support the temple, and the elders of Beijing look forward to peace.
When you start out, you can learn about the present and the past in one glance. You can look more closely at the lamplight in the middle of the night.
Interpretation:
The patient is so weak and thin that the gauze hat on his head looks too wide. He is living alone by the river in Chengdu, thousands of miles away.
Although his position is low, he never dares to forget to worry about national affairs. However, if he wants to realize the ideal of unification, the coffin can only be finalized after his death.
I hope that the gods of heaven and earth will bless the country and the country. The people in the north are looking forward to the monarch day and night to personally reclaim the lost rivers and mountains.
The spirit of loyalty and righteousness in Zhuge Kongming's handed down work "Chu Shi Biao" will last forever. If you can't sleep late at night, let's read it carefully.
