The Dutch prince Sigfried is the owner of Nibelon's treasure. He once killed a dragon and bathed in dragon blood, which made him immortal, but he was covered with fallen leaves under his shoulder blades and never bathed in dragon blood, which was his fatal wound. He married the princess of Burgundy, Klinshid, and later helped the princess's brother, King Tai Gong, cheat on his marriage and married the queen of Iceland, Brunshid. Once there was an altercation between Klinshid and Brunshid, who felt insulted and instigated Hagen, the courtier of the King of Thailand, to kill siegfried while hunting, and to sink the Nibelungen treasure into the Rhine. In order to avenge her husband, Klinshid married the powerful Attila Archer. She persuaded Ai Chai-erh to invite Gong Wang Wang Tai and his party to visit Xiongnu Palace, deliberately provoking disputes. As a result, the blood flowed from both sides, and finally they personally killed Gong Wang Wang Tai and Hagen. Collinside's madness shocked Asher, and his manners cut off Collinside's head with a knife.

Siegfried first met Klinshid.
Here comes the lovely princess, just like the morning sunshine.
Like a dark cloud. How long has it been,
Their hearts holding their loved ones suddenly turned into clouds:
This lovely beauty stood gracefully in front of her.
Her clothes sparkled with countless gems,
Her own rose gives off a strange light.
No matter what you wish, everyone must admit that,
He has never seen such a beautiful person.
Like the moon coming out of the clouds at night,
Her bright light darkens all the stars,
The princess is so beautiful that she is the best of all.
Many brave knights were refreshed when they saw her.
The attendants cleared the way in front of her, which was very dignified.
Many brave soldiers are pushing forward more and more;
Everyone wants to squeeze into the beauty to see it clearly.
Siegfried's heart is full of sadness and joy.
He thought to himself, "How can you be lucky?
Marry you? This is an empty dream shadow;
But I must abandon you unless I go to the grave. "
Thinking like this, his face turned white and red.
The prince of West Garlind stood there,
It's like being written on parchment by a master artist.
Like a hero: anyone must admit,
I have never seen such a handsome young soldier.
Clinsid's entourage ordered everyone to step aside,
Don't crowd too close: the soldiers obey orders.
Knights love to see noble and decent beauty;
They saw many young girls, dressed dignified and elegant.
His Royal Highness Gailnott said, "Dear Gongtai brothers,
That samurai is loyal to you,
You can be generous in front of many heroes.
Repay his great achievements; I'm not ashamed to say so.
"Let the hero approach our princess,
So that she can pay tribute to him: it is of great benefit to us.
She has never received a man and asked her to be attentive to him;
Only in this way can we get the return of the warriors! "
So the king's brothers came to the samurai,
They suggested that the Dutch hero Siegfried:
"You can take it to the Golden Palace, and the king has promised!
Clinsid wants to greet you; This is my respect for you. "
Siegfried's heart is really hard to say:
He felt extremely happy and no longer had the shadow of sadness;
Because he can laugh with the daughter of Wutai.
She greeted siegfried with a noble boudoir ceremony.
This brave soldier, the beautiful image of a beautiful woman,
Hearing her greeting him, her face was flushed with hongyun:
"Welcome, Lord Siegfried, noble knight!"
How brave he is to hear this charming voice!
He bowed politely to thank the beautiful woman.
In a flash, both of them felt the joys and sorrows of love:
The hero and the girl stared at each other,
Four eyes are opposite. But you can only secretly pass on your heart!
Dutch hero, out of passion,
I shook her snow-white hand, I don't know;
But I believe that this matter is inevitable.
Otherwise, a pair of admiring lovers will miss the opportunity!
Whether it's summer or spring and May,
His heart had never felt so happy,
I've never been happier than I am today.
Because the beautiful woman he longed for was standing beside him.
Countless warriors thought, "If I am lucky in this life,
Walk side by side with her like a prince,
Or rest beside her, that really makes me happy! "
But no one can win the beauty's heart except the prince.
No matter which kingdom you come from,
Their eyes are always fixed on both of them.
She was allowed to give the hero a kiss;
He feels that nothing in the world can make him ecstatic.
The death of Siegfried
When noble siegfried drank the spring water,
Hagen tattooed the cross code on his back,
Blood from the heart spilled all over Hagen from the wound.
No two people who commit this crime are future warriors.
He plunged the spear head deep into his heart.
And run away with great fear,
No other samurai can make him escape in such a hurry!
By this time, Siegfried already knew that he was seriously injured.
The samurai immediately jumped up from the spring and was very angry;
A pike is still stuck in his back.
He wants to get his bow or sword,
If we get it, Hagen's sin will be exposed before us.
But the dying soldier didn't find his sword,
Only a shield, still stay at his side.
So he picked up the shield from the spring and ran to Hagen:
King Gongtai's courtiers had no time to escape.
Although he was fatally injured, he was able to go all out.
I saw many gems on the shield fly away.
The shield in his hand almost shattered into dust:
This distinguished guest wants to avenge himself.
Hagen couldn't help falling down under his heavy blow;
Echoes shaking the forest fields can be seen everywhere.
If he had a sword in his hand, Hagen would have died.
The seriously injured soldier was furious; This is a matter of course.
His face is pale; I can't stand on him anymore.
By this time, his physical strength had completely disappeared.
Because his pale face has shown death.
Many beautiful women later cried and mourned for him.
Clinsid's husband just fell into a wild flower.
Blood gushed from his wound.
He began to denounce the treacherous traitors,
Setting a trap for him is also out of anger.
The dying soldier said, "Damn timid dog,
Why did you kill me when I came here wholeheartedly?
I've always been loyal to you, but this is the result.
It's a pity that you should do such an ugly thing to your friend.
"From now on, there are many of your descendants.
Everyone will be ashamed and humiliated: your anger,
Revenge on me is extremely cruel.
Among the noble soldiers, we will change your names. "
All the knights rushed to the slain soldier.
For many hunters, this is indeed a sad day.
People who know loyalty and reputation feel sorry for him:
This brave soldier deserves everyone's sympathy.
The king of Burgundy also lamented his death.
The dying soldier said, "People who kill with their fake hands,
There is no need to mourn the murdered dead;
He only deserves to be scolded by thousands of people: it is better not to fake crying. "
The fierce Hagen said, "I don't know why you lament."
All the threats we felt are now gone.
No one dares to confront us now;
I am glad that his authority has been lost in my hands. "
The Dutch hero said, "Don't brag there,
If I had known in advance that you had a plan to kill people,
I've dealt with you, and I won't die.
I only feel sorry for my beloved wife, Mrs. Klinshid.
"Now God has mercy on me and gave me a son.
From now on, he will be discussed by many people.
Said that his closest relatives were murdered by others;
If my breath is still alive, how can I not grieve for him? "
The dying hero sadly continued:
"Noble king, if you are willing to be honest.
Treat people in the world, then my beloved wife,
I want to entrust her to you, please be very kind to her.
"She is your sister, you want to read brotherhood:
You need a supreme virtue and always care about her.
My father and my retainer must have waited for me for a long time;
It has never been so hard for a wife to cry for her husband. "
The wild flowers around were soaked with his blood.
He struggled to death, but he didn't last long.
Because death sword can't be saved.
This brave and noble soldier has stopped talking.

Song of Nibelungen is a masterpiece of heroic epic in the Middle Ages, which was produced around 1200. The author's name is unknown. According to the contents of the book, he may be Austrian and a knight. The whole poem is written in Central Highland German, * * * has 39 songs, 2 379 sections, 4 lines each, ***9 5 16 lines. It is divided into two parts, the first part is 19 song called "The Death of Siegfried", and the second part is 20 songs called "Revenge of Klinside".
The story of Song of Nibelungen is based on the legend of heroes in ancient Europe, and many characters come from the era of great national migration in the 4th and 5th centuries. The Dutch prince Siegfried killed the dragon in his early years and took possession of the treasure of Nibelungen. He proposed to Klinsey, the sister of King Tai of Burgundy. With his help, King Gong Tai defeated the Saxons, married Brunside, the queen of Iceland, and then agreed to his marriage with Klinshid. When an aunt had an argument, Brunshid was insulted to learn that King Gong Tai had married her by relying on siegfried's strength. He instigated Hagen, the courtier of the King of Thailand, to kill siegfried and sink his Nibelon treasure into the Rhine. In order to get revenge, Klinshid married the powerful Hun king Aicher. She designed and invited Gong Wang Wang Tai and others to meet in Xiongnu, and commanded the army to slaughter. Finally, she caught Hagen and asked him to tell the whereabouts of Nibelungen's treasure, which was rejected, so she killed King Gong Wang Tai and Hagen. She also died at the hands of her subordinates. With the help of ancient Germanic stories, the epic shows the social life and chivalrous ideals in the13rd century, and the thoughts, values and behaviors of the characters in the story are all in the13rd century. Nibelon treasure is a great wealth and a symbol of power. The struggle of Nibelon's treasure throughout the poem is actually the power struggle of feudal princes.
Siegfried's first encounter with Klingside and Siegfried's death are the fifth and sixteenth songs in the first part, which shaped the handsome and brave heroic image of the Dutch prince siegfried.
The last one tells the story of the Dutch prince siegfried coming to Burgundy. He met Princess Burgundy for the first time and admired her beauty. At the beginning of the poem, Clint's own beautiful light overshadowed the shining light of countless gems on her body; The poet regards Karen Kidd as the moon in the sky and praises that "all the stars are eclipsed by her brilliant light". The hero Siegfried is as handsome as "the hero painted on parchment by an artist". The poem not only depicts siegfried's outstanding appearance, but also reflects siegfried's bravery from the side. When Klinsid greeted him, "in an instant, both of them felt the sadness and joy of love." This song finally ends with the germination of beautiful love, and the poem is full of the ecstasy that love brings to the protagonist siegfried.
The latter song, through the death of siegfried, eulogized the knight's lofty honor and ideal moral character: bravery and loyalty. The secret of Siegfried's fatal weakness in his back was leaked. The courtier Hagen stabbed him in the back when he bent down to drink water, killing Siegfried. Siegfried's heroic courage is vividly displayed here. Siegfried, who was fatally wounded, still "struck hard", "The shield almost broke into powder in his hand" and "Hagen couldn't help falling down under his blow". Siegfried's bravery is not only to persevere and fight bloody battles in the face of death, but also to show that heroes must endure pain, meet the challenge of fate, and eventually die inevitably, so as to defend their personality and beliefs and become the masters of their own destiny. Siegfried, who was dying, correctly pointed out that a "rubber-handed murderer" did not need to "mourn the murdered dead" and calmly entrusted his beloved wife and son.
Song of Nibelon is written in poetic style, and the poem adopts Nibelon stanzas, that is, each stanza has four long lines, and each long line is divided into two short lines with a pause in the middle. Nibelon Poetry Festival has a strong sense of rhythm and is easy to recite orally. Since19th century, literary and artistic works with the theme of Song of Nibelungen have emerged one after another, with Wagner's opera The Ring of Nibelungen as the representative work.
