Looking back, I went through a lot of hardships in my early years when I entered the imperial examination, and now it has been four years since the war ceased. The country is in danger like catkins in a strong wind, and individuals are like duckweeds in a shower. I'm still scared by the fiasco at the beach of fear, and it's a pity that I'm alone in Yuan Lu. Who can live forever since ancient times? I want to leave a patriotic heart that reflects the history. Extended information
1. Background
In 1278 AD (the first year of Song Xiangxing), Wen Tianxiang was defeated and captured in Wupoling, Haifeng, Guangdong Province, and was taken to a ship. He wrote this poem the following year when he crossed Lingdingyang. Later, he was escorted to the cliff mountain, and Zhang Hongfan forced him to write a letter to surrender Zhang Shijie, Lu Xiufu and others who stuck to the cliff mountain. Wen Tianxiang refused to obey and showed this poem to show his ambition.
Second, appreciation
The first couplet "Once hard work is met, there are few stars around." "Ever since" refers to what Tian Xiang said when he was a 2-year-old scholar, and it is four years around. Tianxiang started his army in the first year of Deyou (1275) and was captured in the first year of Xiangxing (1278), which was exactly four years. This self-narrative life, thinking about the present and recalling the past.
zhuanlian went on to say that "the mountains and rivers are broken and the wind is floating, and the life experience is ups and downs." Or from the two aspects of the country and individuals to expand and in-depth description. In Song Dynasty, Emperor Gong Zhao Yun was captured and actually died. The poet is in exile everywhere, describing this situation with broken mountains and rivers, and saying that "the wind is floating" is vivid and depressed.
The Necklace continues to recall the different situations and moods in the past and present. In the past, I was afraid of the beach, worried about the country and the people, and was sincere and fearful. Today, I am alone in the ocean, sighing myself.
As soon as the pen gesture of the tail couplet turns, it suddenly falls in, crossing from the present to the future, pushing aside the reality and revealing the ideal, so the conclusion is like ringing a bell and ringing the sound around the beam. The style of the whole poem changed suddenly, from depressed to pioneering, bold and free and easy.
"No one has died in life since ancient times, so take the heart of Dan to shine on the history." Let the sincere heart be like a fire, shine in history, light up the world and warm life. With a photo, it shows radiant and heroic spirit.
Third, the author's brief introduction
Wen Tianxiang (June 6, 1236-January 9, 1283), whose first name was Yunsun, whose name was Song Rui, was also good at words. Road number floating road flyover, Wenshan. Luling, Jizhou County, Jiangxi Province (now Futian Town, Qingyuan District, Ji 'an City, Jiangxi Province) was a politician, writer, patriotic poet, famous anti-Yuan minister and national hero at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, and was called "three outstanding men in the end of the Song Dynasty" together with Lu Xiufu and Zhang Shijie.
Wen Tianxiang's literary creation, especially his poetry creation, has two distinctive features, which are divided into two stages: the early stage and the late stage. The so-called early stage refers to the stage when Ganzhou starts to go to Zhenzhou at night after serving the diligent king.
At that time, although the small court in the Southern Song Dynasty was in a difficult autumn, and the rulers in the inner court were ignorant and rich, Wen Tianxiang himself accumulated soldiers, who came to the military camp "wrapped in hungry food" and were a team with clear love and hatred and fighting capacity.
Therefore, in Wen Tianxiang's mind, it is hopeful to revive the Southern Song Dynasty and recover the lost land. The poems written in this period are characterized by freshness, liveliness, boldness, particularly rich feelings, and they often encourage themselves with full fighting spirit, which makes people read them like fragrant grapes and wine.
such as the poem "Going to Que". It can be seen from these poems that Wen Tianxiang's eyes seem to have seen that the future is bright and the revival is hopeful. Later, Li Tingzhi hinted that Miao Zaicheng would kill Wen Tianxiang to avoid trouble back at home.
After we arrived in Fuan, the situation changed fundamentally. During this period, Wen Tianxiang's poetry writing began to show the characteristics of the later stage, and most of them lamented that the journey of life was "dangerous and difficult".
The poem entitled "On February 6th, there was a sea war, and the state affairs were not good, and I was lonely, sitting in the north boat, crying to the south, for which I wrote a poem", which expressed how deeply Wen Tianxiang felt at that time and hated the consequences caused by Jia Sidao and Chen Yizhong. The poems written by Wen Tianxiang at this stage are solemn and stirring, painful, beautiful and elegant.
