Hello, this has appeared as an exam question.
Passing by the tomb of the First Emperor of Qin?
Xu Hun
Dragon cups and tigers clinging to the trees, even falling into the clouds.
In the green mountains and autumn grass, passers-by only worship the Han Dynasty Mausoleum.
(1) This is a nostalgic poem about the history of poetry. Let’s talk about your understanding of the word “collapse” based on the whole poem.
Answer: One refers to the death of the First Emperor, the second refers to the rapid demise of the Qin Dynasty, and the third refers to the image of Qin Shihuang, who was so prominent during his lifetime, completely collapsed in the minds of future generations.
(2) This poem is titled "Jingshihuang's Tomb", but three or four sentences are written about Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty. Is this appropriate? Why?
Answer : It is very appropriate to compare the modesty and benevolence of Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty with the headstrongness and cruelty of Qin Shi Huang; to compare the nostalgia of Han Wen Emperor by passers-by with the collapse of the First Emperor's status in the hearts of the people, contrasting the image of a tyrant and implicitly expressing the author's feelings Criticism.
Translation
Tree after layer of trees soar into the sky, and the tomb of Qin Shihuang stands tall and majestic like a tiger and a dragon.
Even if your momentum is as high as the clouds, in the end you will still "collapse" in people's hearts.
The graves of the two people also stand on the green hill, and are also covered in autumn grass.
People passing by only visited the tomb of Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty and bowed before him.
Appreciation:
This poem by Xu Hun expresses his feelings when passing through the Qin Mausoleum.
The first sentence describes the momentum of the mausoleum. When the mausoleum was first completed, "trees and trees were planted to resemble a mountain" on the tomb. Under the reflection of the mountains and waters, this huge mountain-like tomb is held up in the open flat land, giving people the feeling of "a tiger perched on a dragon's plate".
The second sentence says that the poet stopped in front of the tomb and looked from the base of the tomb to the top of the tomb. What he saw were layers of green trees reaching up to the sky. Doesn’t the high tomb in front of him symbolize the illustrious power of Qin Shihuang during his lifetime? ? The rapid fall and the arrogant momentum of Qin Shihuang during his reign formed a very ironic contrast. The poet casts extremely rich historical content into these seven short words. The word "collapse" announced that Qin Shihuang was dead and the dynasty was dead. It seemed that the words were exhausted and the following was difficult to continue.
The third and fourth sentences have a sudden change of direction, which is unique and amazing. These two sentences seem to be broken but actually connected with the previous two sentences. The poetic meaning is quietly derived from the word "collapse", further describing the complete collapse of Qin Shihuang's image in the minds of future generations without leaving a trace. It is also "green mountains and autumn grass", but passers-by only pay their respects in front of the mausoleum of Emperor Wen of Han Dynasty. Emperor Wen of Han's modesty, benevolence and frugality were in sharp contrast to Qin Shihuang's headstrongness, brutality and extravagance. Although the poet does not express his love and hatred for the two people, it is not difficult for us to get it from the discussion.
