"Dan Xin" refers to a burning heart. Generally speaking, "loyal heart" is used to describe a person who is loyal to his country.
"History" refers to historical classics. In ancient times before the invention of paper, military events could only be recorded on bamboo slips; However, the water in bamboo slips must be evaporated with torches first, which is convenient for carving and can prevent insects from eating; Based on this, later generations collectively refer to ancient books that record history as "history books".
The meaning of these two poems, "since ancient times, no one has died in life, and keeping the heart of Dan is the mirror of history", means that since ancient times, people are bound to die! But to die meaningfully, if you can be loyal to your country, you can still shine and go down in history after death.
Yue Fei, Wen Tianxiang, Shi Kefa and Tan Sitong are all martyrs who are willing to give their lives and shed their blood for the country and people. Their heroic feelings are consistent with the poetry of these two poems. Who wrote these two poems?
At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, Wen Tianxiang was captured by the Yuan Army after the defeat in Guangdong, and was taken to the north to be imprisoned. On the way, he passed through Ding Yang and wrote a poem "Crossing Ding Yang" to express his frustration at the country's demise. The second half of his poem reads as follows-
"Fear beachhead says fear, and there is a sigh in the ocean. Since ancient times, no one has died in life, leaving Dan's heart to shine. "
Since then, Wen Tianxiang has never been moved by any threats and inducements, and has gone to justice generously!
