Guo Yi Shui is a seven-character quatrain written by Chen Zilong, a poet in the Ming Dynasty. The first two sentences of this poem describe the heroic man's strong desire to serve the motherland. There are two sentences: "Last night, the sword rang in the box, and Zhao Yan's elegy was the most uneven." Ambition is manifested by things, and the eager desire to serve the country is shown by singing swords at night. Although strong and fierce, it is not empty talk, but rude.
The greatest feature of this poem is to closely combine current events with the enthusiasm for serving the country. The poet thought of Jing Ke, an ancient hero, and his generous feat of sacrificing his life to drown, which naturally aroused his heroic spirit of striving for progress. Compared with the first two sentences, the last two sentences lament that things are different and mountains and rivers are broken. Lyric two sentences: "The water is flowing, the clouds are green, and there is nowhere to send Jing Qing." Love is born of scenery, and the feeling of worrying about the world is derived from the view of one water.
