But what makes people feel is that many of the most outstanding patriotic generals and poets in the history of China appeared in this dynasty, which has been passed down as an eternal story. Perhaps it is in response to China's old saying, "When a country is in trouble, it shows loyalty, and when the family is poor, it gives birth to a dutiful son.".
Among many patriotic generals in the Southern Song Dynasty, Yue Fei was undoubtedly the spiritual leader of China soldiers. He shouldered his mother's motto of "faithfully serving the country" and embarked on a long road to saving the country, but his road to saving the country was also a sad one. Facing the treacherous court official of the bad king, Yue Fei's intense and strong feelings of "cleaning up the old mountains and rivers and facing the sky" can only be turned into sadness and deep sigh. On the way to saving the country, he was full of blood and tears. "There are few bosom friends. Who will listen to the broken string?" However, history has always remembered this failed hero. Generation after generation of men took him as a model and continued to write the soul of China's army. Castle Peak is willing to bury loyal bones, so history remembers courtier Qin Gui. The world makes him kneel at the grave of the hero forever. This is a traitor kneeling in front of the brave and the villain kneeling in front of the gentleman.
Xin Qiji is not only a patriotic general, but also a patriotic poet. He left an impression on future generations as much as Yue Fei. After decades of tossing and turning, it was suppressed by traitors and powerful ministers, and the idea of resisting the enemy could not be realized. Later, he joined the rebel army against the enemy and was repeatedly framed. It's really "the railing has been photographed all over, no one will answer it, and they are willing to board." The Southern Song Dynasty was like a seriously ill person. Xin Qiji's enthusiasm and loyalty to the liver can only be turned into "the endless rolling of the Yangtze River". Xin Qiji, an old man, lamented generously, "Look at the sword after drinking", but it is difficult to "cry heroic tears". His ambition of "swallowing Wan Li like a tiger" is especially "poor white hair has been born" and "Who * * * me, drunk with the bright moon?" How lonely and sad it is! The knot of hard-earned ambition condenses into a heroic spirit, and the soul revolves around China. Legend has it that after Xin Qiji died, every night in the place where he was buried, "kill the enemy, kill the enemy!" " Whew, if his many brave words show the feelings of a patriotic poet, then this touching legend is the best memory of this hero for Chinese people through the ages.
Lu You, a wise poet with a bumpy fate, vividly interpreted the hero's dream of serving the country in the Southern Song Dynasty. Bad emperors and treacherous officials are in power, and loyal people are often hard to tolerate in the world, such as Qu Yuan, Yue Fei and Lu You. Lu You expressed this rejection in Yongmei: "It's dusk, and it's even stormier." Like Qu Yuan, Lu You has the unique moral integrity of China ancient intellectuals. This sentence, "I have no intention of competing for spring. A group of envy, scattered into mud, crushed into dust, only fragrance remains "reflects the noble character of this frustrated hero." "In the prime of his life, Lu You once galloped on the battlefield, saying," Wan Li seeks to seal the marquis and guard Liangzhou alone. "What a hero this is! It is a pity that "the heart is in Tianshan, and the body is old in Cangzhou." After living in seclusion in Yinshan, Lao Luyou still dreamed of serving the country and killing the enemy: "Lonely village does not feel sorry for itself, but still wants to protect the family. "Lying in the middle of the night listening to the wind and rain, the iron horse river dream." Knowing that it was not far from Japan, Lu You was sad and angry, and he was never old: "Julian Waghann decided to go north to celebrate the Central Plains Day, and he didn't forget to tell me about the family sacrifice." Unfortunately, his wish didn't come true in the end, and the Southern Song Dynasty disappeared in the heroic tears of these patriotic heroes.
Under the influence of this patriotic feeling, many scholars in China drew up heroes of the world for this cowardly dynasty, and Jin Yong's Trilogy of Carving Gods is one of the representatives. Jin Yong walked freely in these three novels, and created many heroes who were loyal to the liver and righteous, which was called "heroic epic". Among these heroic images, Xiao Feng was the one with the most tragic complex in the Southern Song Dynasty. He has Yue Fei's lofty spirit and the ability to win the title of the three armed forces, but he also has Yue Fei's pain and sadness. This is undoubtedly consistent with the fate of heroes in the Southern Song Dynasty.
"Heroes are born in troubled times, and the country is difficult to show loyalty." This is the unique culture of the Chinese nation. Not only the Southern Song Dynasty, the late Sui Dynasty, the early Tang Dynasty and the early Han Dynasty, but also the history of China showed us this rule.
