zhao kuang yin
At first, the sun was shining and Qian Shan was on fire.
In an instant, the sky fell, driving away the stars and the waning moon.

Regarding the original text of this poem, there are different records in the Song Dynasty, which are based on Geng Xi's Poems, but what is recorded in Cang is this: "If you want to come out, Qian Shan is like fire." Come to the sky in a while, drive away the stars and catch up with the moon. "
Zhao Kuangyin was born in the army, but he can also sing hymns. According to Chen Shidao's Poems on the Back Hill, when Song Jun besieged the Southern Tang Dynasty, Li Yu, queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty, sent Xu Xuan, a civil servant, to negotiate with the Song Dynasty. Xu Xuan is conceited and talented, and wants to talk about the encirclement of the country. He said a lot about the master of their country. He was a knowledgeable and talented emperor. Zhao Kuangyin asked me to recite a few sentences, and Xu Xuan read two of Li Yu's poems about the autumn moon. Zhao Kuangyin smiled and said, "I am a poor man, but I don't know anything." It means I wouldn't say such a poor thing. Xu Xuan refuses to accept, please Zhao Kuangyin take out the goods to have a look. Zhao Kuangyin said that when I was young, I came back from Shaanxi, passed Huashan, got drunk and slept in the field. When I woke up, I saw a bright moon rising in the east. There were two poems at that time: "Qian Shan didn't leave the bottom of the sea until dark, and I went to the sky." Xu Xuan fell to his knees in fear. The poem about the moon and the poem about the sun that we chose here can show Zhao Kuangyin's heroism and great ambition. In the eyes of Song people, this is the character basis of his becoming the founding king, which embodies the historical inevitability that the country belongs to Zhao and the hegemony of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms is replaced by the Great Song Dynasty. But symbolically, the Song Dynasty is more like the moon, and the existence of the northern Liao State, Xixia and Houjin has always been a shadow over it. From the hopeless recovery of sixteen states to half of the Southern Song Dynasty, it seems that the Song Dynasty always lacked a moon for seven or eight days, and never shone on the whole land of China like the "first day".
