Song of the wind
Han Dynasty: Liu Bang
The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying.
Vega returned to her home in the sea,
Andrew, soldiers are always looking!
translate
The wind is blowing hard and the clouds are flying.
I unified the world, I went home dressed,
How can we get a soldier to defend our country!
Creative background:
In October of the 12th year of Emperor Gaozu (BC 196), Ying Bu, king of Huainan, rose up against Han. Because he was brave and good at fighting, Liu Bang had to go out in person. Later, Ying Bu was defeated. On his way back to the army after the victory, Liu Bang stopped by his hometown, Pei County (now Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province), and called his former friends and elders to drink together for more than ten days.
One day, when he drank too much wine, Liu Bang sang while hammering and improvised this song "Song of the Strong Wind". A few years before the creation of this poem, the newly established Han Empire experienced rebellions in Rebecca, Zhang Qian, Han Wangxin and Chen Yi. Now the rebellion in Ying Bu has been put down, but the Huns in the north are eyeing up, the strength of the domestic rebels is waiting for an opportunity, and the whole country is teetering.
Liu Bang has returned to his hometown at this moment, remembering that the ups and downs of the first half of his life have brought today's glory, and all forces are trying to push this empire he built himself into the abyss. Presumably, Liu Bang sang this poem with a kind of heroism under the cover of sadness.
Appreciate:
Song of the Great Wind contains only three sentences, which is extremely rare in the history of China's poetry. Each of the three poems represents a vast and different scene and artistic conception. The author really cherishes these three poems and is highly concentrated. Among them, the first sentence, the wind rises in the clouds, is the most amazing poem in ancient and modern times.
The author did not directly describe how he and his men annihilated the rebels on the grand battlefield, but they were very clever and clever!
