Yangzhou Man Huai Zuo Du Ming is the representative work of the Song Dynasty poet Jiang Kui. The whole word washes away the lead and paints a bleak and empty picture in elegant and refined language. The brushwork is ethereal, the expression is deep and long, the tone is low and graceful, there is a clear and vigorous momentum, and there is a feeling of loneliness. It not only accused the rulers of the Jin Dynasty of plundering the disasters caused by the war, but also condemned the partial security policy of the Southern Song Dynasty, which has certain positive significance.
The whole poem is as follows:
Huaizuomingdu, Zhuxi is a good place with few saddles on the initial journey. Ten miles after the spring breeze. All the wheat is green. Since Huma went to see the river, he abandoned the trees by the pool and still hated talking about soldiers. Gradually dusk, clear the angle and blow the cold. All in the empty city.
It is not surprising that Du's reward is too heavy now. Vertically speaking, although the dream of a brothel is good, it is difficult to be affectionate. The 24th Bridge is still there, the waves are swaying, and Leng Yue is silent. After reading the red medicine by the bridge, you will know who you should live for every year.
The translation is as follows:
Yangzhou has been a famous city on Huainan East Road since ancient times. There is a famous tourist attraction, Zhuxi Pavilion. When I first arrived in Yangzhou, I dismounted and stopped. At that time, the bustling streets stretched for ten miles in the spring breeze, but now buckwheat is green and lonely. Since the nomadic people invaded the Yangtze River valley, even abandoned ponds and ancient trees are disgusted to mention that hateful war again. Near dusk, the tragic horn sounded, echoing in this desolate and broken empty city.
Du Mu once praised you with beautiful poems, but if he comes back today, he will be surprised at your broken. Even with the exquisite lyrics of cardamom and the wonderful talent of singing the dream of a brothel, it is difficult to express the deep sadness at this moment. The 24th bridge is still intact. Under the bridge, the waves are rippling, and Leng Yue is lonely. I think the flowers and leaves in Shao Hong near the bridge are flourishing every year. I wonder who appreciates it every year and who lives for it?
