"Ode to Ancient Relics (Part Three)"
The author Du Fu? During the Tang Dynasty
He went to Jingmen through mountains and valleys. There is still a village where Ming Fei grows up.
Once we go to Zitai Lianshuo Desert, we only leave the green tomb facing the dusk.
Draw a picture to understand the spring breeze, and wear a ring in the sky to return to the soul of the night moon.
For thousands of years, the pipa has been playing nonsense, and there is clear resentment in the music.
Translation:
Thousands of mountains and ridges are like waves rushing towards Jingmen, but the village where Wang Zhaojun grew up remains to this day.
Going straight from Zitai to the desert outside the Great Wall, the only green grave left on the outskirts faces the dusk.
Only relying on drawings to identify Zhaojun’s face, wearing a jingle on a moonlit night is the return of Zhaojun’s soul.
The pipa has been playing Hu Di tunes for thousands of years, and the clear resentment of Zhaojun is expressed in the music.
Extended information:
This is the third poem in the group of poems "Five Ode to Ancient Monuments". The poet expresses his feelings by praising Zhaojun Village and remembering Wang Zhaojun. The poet felt deeply about Wang Zhaojun's experience. It expresses his deep sympathy, expresses Zhaojun's longing and resentment for his motherland, and praises Zhaojun's spirit of returning even after his death, which expresses the poet's own life experience and patriotism. The whole poem has clear narrative, prominent images and profound meaning.
The title of Du Fu's poem is "Yong Huai Ancient Relics". When he wrote about Zhaojun's resentment, he placed his feelings about his family and country. Du Fu was "wandering in the southwest world" at that time, far away from his hometown, and his situation was similar to that of Zhaojun. Although he was in Kuizhou, which was not as far away from his hometown of Luoyang and Yanshi as Zhaojun was when he went to the fortress, Luoyang was still an elusive place for him because "the plains are vast in letters and deep in wars." He lives in Zhaojun's hometown, and he just uses the image of Zhaojun missing his hometown and the night moon returning to his soul to express his own feelings of missing his hometown.
Li Zide, a native of the Qing Dynasty, said: "Only describing the concubines of Ming Dynasty, there is never a word about discussion, but the meaning is all-encompassing. Later, other families can never match it." This comment expresses the most important meaning of this poem. The artistic characteristics of Zhaojun, from beginning to end, are all based on images, without a single sentence of abstract discussion. However, the tragic image of Zhaojun who "left the green tomb alone to face the dusk" and "went to the moon in the sky" has left a mark on the readers' hearts. Made an indelible impression.
