The first song "Golden Rooster Announces Dawn"
The cock crows and pouts, and the cock crows and pouts. Three calls for Fusang Day swept away the remnant star Xiao Yue.
Legend has it that this poem was written by Zhu Yuanzhang on the day he ascended the throne. The first two sentences are a little childish to read and feel like limerick, but the last two sentences can be called eternal famous sentences. There is a kind of heroism that "chickens crow all over the world, sweeping away the remnant stars and Xiao Yue". What kind of mind and domineering this is, it really comes from the hand of the emperor, and most people really can't write it. I don't know if the poem "One piece, two pieces, three or four pieces, five pieces, six pieces, seven or eight pieces" written by Qianlong later borrowed from Zhu Yuanzhang's poems.
The second song "Heaven, Earth, Sun and Moon"
The sky is a tent and the ground is a blanket. The sun, the moon and the stars sleep with me in the morning. I dare not stretch my feet at night for fear of stepping on mountains and rivers.
This poem was written by Zhu Yuanzhang, which is really appropriate, because Zhu Yuanzhang was a cowherd when he was a child, and he just yearned for heaven and earth. When a monk wanders, he takes heaven as his quilt and the earth as his seat. The first two sentences are actually a true portrayal of Zhu Yuanzhang's early morning experience. This is really a portrayal. You can't see that it is "bitter", but it is generous and relaxed. The last two sentences are more domineering. I dare not stretch my legs for fear of crossing mountains and rivers. Such an atmospheric poem is like a masterpiece.
The third song "Chanting Chrysanthemum"
I don't send flowers when flowers bloom. If I do, I'll be scared to death. To fight against the west wind, wear golden armor all over.
Are you familiar with this poem? Yes, this one was written after Huang Chao's poem. Huang Chao's Chrysanthemum will stay in Qiu Lai on September 8th, and I will kill all the flowers after they bloom. Blooming chrysanthemums are in full bloom, Chang 'an is fragrant, the city is bathed in the fragrance of chrysanthemums-Italy, and the land is like golden chrysanthemums. The poems written by Zhu Yuanzhang from another angle are very simple, but they contain domineering egoism. It's a bit like Mao Zedong's poem "Singing Frog", where a person sits in a pond like a tiger, keeping his spirits in the shade. If I don't speak first in spring, which bug will dare to keep silent? It seems that the qi of the emperor can't be learned.
The fourth song, Yan Yong Ji Zi.
What about the Yangtze River as a pole? The crescent moon on the horizon is a scale hook, weighing how many mountains and rivers I have.
This is Zhu Yuanzhang's improvisation in Yanziji. Zhu Yuanzhang is lyrical with scenery and has a grand artistic conception. In his four short poems, there is the domineering spirit of "My heart is the universe, and the universe is my heart", and the emperor's love for the country arises spontaneously.
The prince and the prince will be together. What kind of people would you rather have? Zhu Yuanzhang's life is legendary, but it really happened. You can compare Zhu Yuanzhang's poems with those of Cao Cao, Liu Bang and others, and you can find many similarities of imperial qi.
