The Song Dynasty poet Su Shi's Niannujiao Chibi Nostalgia is one of the representative works of bold and unconstrained ci.
Su Shi (1037 ~110/) was a writer in the Song Dynasty. The word Zi Zhan, the word He Zhong, the number Dongpo lay man. He was successively sentenced to Hangzhou, Zhimi, Xuzhou, Huzhou and Yingzhou. 1080 (Yuanfeng three years), Huangzhou was demoted by the new libel law. Later, he was exiled to Huizhou and Danzhou. Song Huizong, forgive me. Died in Changzhou. Chasing Wenzhong.
The whole poem is lyrical in ancient times, vigorous and desolate, magnificent, vigorous in brushwork and broad in realm. It integrates scenery writing, history chanting and lyric, giving people an artistic power that shocks the soul. It was once known as "the swan song of ancient and modern times".
The original text is as follows:
The surging river flows eastward, and those heroes of the past are gone forever. To the west of the old base, there is a rich collection of people: Chibi, Zhou Lang, where the three countries stand.
The steep rock wall, like thunder waves lapping against the river bank, waves like rolling up thousands of snow. The majestic rivers and mountains are picturesque, and many heroes emerge at once.
Looking back on Zhou Yu's spring breeze era, young and beautiful Joe just married him, and he was full of heroic spirit. Feather fan nylon scarf, talking and laughing, all gone.
I am wandering in the battlefield today. I feel a feeling heart and give birth to white hair prematurely. Life is like a dream, sprinkle a glass of wine to pay tribute to the bright moon on the river.
The translation is as follows:
River of no return, wash out those romantic figures through the ages. In the west of the ancient battlefield, it is said that Zhou Yu of the Three Kingdoms broke Cao Jun's Red Cliff.
Rocky Mountain is high on all sides, with cliffs like clouds on both sides. The stormy waves are beating violently on the other side, and the rolled waves are like thousands of snow in winter. Jiangshan is so picturesque, how many heroes have emerged at one time.
Think back to the famous Yu. Xiao Qiao has just married him, and he is very dashing. With a feather fan in his hand and a black silk scarf on his head, he was laughing calmly and smartly, and 800,000 Cao Jun was like ashes.
Now immersed in the ancient battlefield, wandering in the past. Ironically, I have so much nostalgia for the past that my temples are as white as old age. Life is like a hazy dream. A toast to the eternal moon.
Extended data:
This poem was written by Su Shi 1082 (Song Shenzong Yuanfeng five years) when he lived in Huangzhou. At that time, the author was forty-five years old and was demoted to Huangzhou for more than two years because of Wutai poetry case. Su Shi was demoted for satirizing the new law in his poems and was condemned by Luo Zhi, a new bureaucrat. He has endless worries in his heart, so he travels around to relax.
I happened to come to Chibi (Biji) outside Huangzhou City. The magnificent scenery here touched the author greatly, which made the author sigh that time flies while recalling Zhou Yu's infinite scenery during the Three Kingdoms period, so he wrote this word.
