was written by Zhang Tingyu, a minister of the Qing Dynasty.
The original text is as follows:
The Great Wall of Wan Li is empty in Wan Li, and the immortal hero dreams forever.
From the south to the north, I walk west and east, and life is in it, and the sky is empty. How many protagonists have I changed?
In the quiet of the night, I heard the drums at midnight, but I didn't feel it when I turned over. From the beginning, I thought it was a dream of Nanke.
after a hard work, it was empty, and after death, it returned to the soil, and the body returned to the soil and the wind, and it was naughty and smelly;
After you die, you have to bury your bones in three steps. There is no need to bury your bones in mulberry fields. Life is everywhere.
Wan Li, the Great Wall of Wan Li, is empty, the immortal hero dreams forever, the sinking boat sails lightly by the side, and Wan Muchun is in front of the sick tree! ?
Main idea of the poem:
The Great Wall has always been regarded as a symbol of the Chinese nation, and it has indeed played a considerable defensive role. However, when we look back at history, we find that the Great Wall played a lot of jokes on us. The first emperor of the Qin Dynasty built the magnificent Great Wall with the strength of the whole country, but only the second emperor of the Qin Dynasty collapsed, losing not to the Huns outside the Great Wall but to internal troubles, starting with the riots of two migrant workers in Wu Guang, Chen Sheng. Then came Liu Bang and Xiang Yu's army. The Ming Dynasty was not destroyed by the grassland outside the customs, but was defeated by another migrant worker, Li Zicheng. After that, Wu Sangui let Manchu enter the customs. When the Japanese invaders broke through Shanhaiguan and marched into North China, it was at the height of the civil war in China that their national strength declined, which gave them an opportunity. Therefore, the defensive function of the Great Wall was negative, and it was often a disaster within the Xiao wall that caused corruption in China.
It can be seen that it is better to rule the world than to prevent it, and your own strength is the indestructible Great Wall of Wan Li.
The idea expressed in the poem: Although many emperors in Chinese dynasties built the Great Wall of Wan Li, they did not resist the demise of their own dynasties in the end. The main thing is to persuade the feudal emperor to be benevolent and political, and relying on the Great Wall can't stop the demise of his dynasty.
