Author: Lu You
At an early age, he knew that the world was difficult, and the Central Plains looked like a mountain in the north.
It snows in the boat at night, and the autumn wind of the iron horse clears the customs.
if you are stuck in the Great Wall, you will be disappointed.
when you start out as a teacher, you can show your true name, but you can't compete for a thousand years.
Translation
When I was young, I decided to explore the Central Plains in the north. I didn't expect it to be so difficult.
I often look north at the Central Plains, and my blood is boiling and my resentment is like a mountain.
I remember beating the nomads from Guazhou, and flying ships and warships in the snowy night.
In the autumn wind, the horses galloped across the mountain, and the great news was reported frequently.
I think I compared myself with the Great Wall of Wan Li, and I set my mind on cleaning up the frontier for my motherland.
Up to now, it is empty talk to look forward to the recovery of the Northern Expedition.
I can't help remembering that Zhu Gekongming, and he really deserves his reputation as a model.
Who did his best to lead the three armies to the Han Dynasty to set up the Central Plains in the north like Zhuge Liang!
Appreciation
This poem was written by Song Xiaozong when he was living in Shanyin, his hometown in the 13th year of Chunxi (1186). Lu You was sixty years old when he was traveling, which is obviously not my age. However, when the poet was exiled, he had to stay idle in his hometown, thinking that the mountains and rivers were broken and the Central Plains had not been collected, so he felt that there was no battlefield for serving his country and dying. He felt that the world was difficult, and the villain mistakenly went to the country and "the scholar was helpless and loyal", so the poet's feelings of depression and anger burst out. Those who are "angry with books" express their feelings of depression and anger in their chests.
"When I was young, I knew that the world was difficult, and the Central Plains looked like a mountain in the north." When the hero is useless, he will return to the memory of Tiema Jinge. In those days, the poet looked north at the Central Plains, and his heroic spirit of recovering lost land was like a mountain. What a spirit! Did the poet ever think that it would be so difficult to kill the enemy and serve the country? I thought that I was selfless and devoted myself to serving the country, so the country would be fulfilled by me. Unexpectedly, there were traitors who obstructed and destroyed me and were repeatedly ousted. At the beginning of the poem, the poet asked himself how much depression and anger he had.
The sentence of "Louchuan" describes Song Bing's resistance to Jin Bing's invasion in the southeast and northwest, and also summarizes the poet's past travels. In November of the 31st year of Shaoxing, Song Gaozong (1161), the gold master Yan Hongliang invaded the south, and Song Jun refused to defend it in Guazhou, after which the nomads from the army fled. The last sentence refers to this. In the eighth year of Song Xiaozong Trunk Road (1172), Lu You was attending the curtain of Wang Yanjun in Nanzheng. The poet and Wang Yan actively planned to invade Chang 'an, once crossed the Wei River, and met with the nomads from the Great Sanguan. The next sentence refers to this. The brilliant past summarized in these two sentences is in sharp contrast with the present situation of "intentional killing of thieves, inability to return to heaven". "I am afraid that when I am good, I will hate him for another year." If you want to restore the Central Plains today, why is the poet's heart in tears? From the perspective of poetic art, these two poems also show Lu You's great poetic talent. When the images of "Louchuan" (majestic warship) and "Night Snow", "Iron Horse" and "Autumn Wind" are combined, there are two open and magnificent battlefield scrolls. Image selection is very clean and typical.
In the sentence of "Stuck on the Great Wall", the poet uses allusion to express his ambition. In the Southern Dynasties, Tan Daoji, a famous Liu and Song star, once called himself "the Great Wall of Wan Li". The emperor wanted to kill him, and he said, "Destroy the Great Wall of Wan Li." Lu you promised himself by this, which shows that he was majestic when he was young, defending the country, showing off his strength in the border areas, and who else? However, what about now? The poet's unfulfilled anguish hangs on a word "empty". Ambition fails, struggle fails, everything fails, but looking at yourself in the mirror is the first spot of decline, and the head is bald! Comparing the two, how sad? Think again, this ending is not caused by my disappointment, not by my failure to try my best, but by my mistakes and the world grinding me! I have a heart, and God forbid it. Sorrow is depression and anger.
look at the tail link again. Also use the code to express one's ambition. Zhuge insisted on the Northern Expedition. Although he was "a true teacher", he was famous all over the world, and "who is as good as a thousand years". After thousands of years, who can compare with it? Obviously, the poet's allusion is intended to belittle the mediocre villain who is in charge of the ruling and opposition parties, indicating that his ambition to restore the Central Plains will also be "famous". The poet can't find comfort in reality, so he has to put his soul longing for comfort into the future, which is naturally helpless. And the poet had to pour out his frustration when he was depressed. Through Zhuge Liang's allusions, I pursue the achievements of the sages, showing that my patriotic enthusiasm will never change, and I am eager to emulate Zhuge Liang and display my ambitions.
Looking back at the whole poem, we can see that every sentence is anger, and every word is anger. Poetry is full of anger.
The whole poem is full of gloomy feelings and vigorous charm, which is obviously due to Du Fu. The two couplets are stable to the work, especially the words "building ship" and "iron horse" in the couplet, which are heroic and widely recited by people. This kind of poem comes from his personal experience and is full of his feelings about political life, which is incomparable to those works that show off their talents.
