When Lu You was a child, it happened that the nomads from Jiangnan burned and looted Jiangnan. He often listens to elders' comments on state affairs and sees their parents' anger and generosity in times of crisis. He was deeply moved by this and had an ambition to resist gold since he was a child. Because I was a soldier, I had the painful experience of "avoiding Hu Bing as a child" and had a childhood of sharing weal and woe with the people, so I had the thought of loving the people. He cares about the fate of the country and the people, loves to learn, likes to read the art of war, and is determined to build the country and revive the Central Plains.
In the twenty-fourth year of Shaoxing (1 154), he was the first scholar in Luyou. However, because he talked about boycotting gold, he offended Qin Gui, a powerful minister, and was finally removed from the list.
After Qin Gui's death, Lu You was granted as the master book of Ningde (now Fujian). Because of his outstanding achievements and the need for talents to resist gold, he was later called the director of Dali Temple and Zong Zheng's book.
At the beginning of Song Xiaozong's reign, he intended to restore the Central Plains. Lu You was specially endowed with a scholar background, participated in drafting anti-gold documents, and assisted Zhang Jun, a famous anti-gold star, in planning the Northern Expedition. Soon, Zhang Jun lost power and influence in the political struggle and lost the gold resistance. Lu you was implicated in this and was dismissed for instigating the anti-gold.
Lu You was dismissed from office many times in his life. Every time he was dismissed from office, he went to live in seclusion, but his ambition to resist gold and serve the country and recover lost ground remained unchanged. At the call of Wang Yan, Ambassador of Fu Xuan, Sichuan, Lu You, a middle-aged man, assisted in military affairs in his tent, and then went to Nanzheng (now Shaanxi), a frontier stronghold. Lu you trains and practices martial arts. He is full of enthusiasm, eager to try and ambitious. However, under the control of the main peace faction, the court of the Southern Song Dynasty was selfish, and if it did not advance, it would retreat. Wang Yan was quickly transferred from Sichuan, and Lu You's desire to wrap himself up was also lost. Lu you, who has an unpaid ambition, sends his feelings to the mountains and rivers to solve his sadness. Later, Lu You also served as a member of the Senate in the shogunate of Shuchengda, but he failed to get a chance to show his talents.
Although Lu You can't go into battle to kill the enemy, he pretends to be a poet and expresses his thunder with a close call. Throughout his life, he argued with Jin Jun and Jin Bing to recover lost ground. He was repeatedly pushed out and frustrated by the capitulationists. However, he devoted his enthusiasm to poetry creation and created a large number of patriotic poems.
"There are traces of dust and wine on the clothes, and travel is everywhere; Can this body be a poet? Riding a donkey into the sword gate in the drizzle. " Expressing ambition with poetry fully expresses the poet's feelings of not forgetting state affairs. In another poem, he also wrote: "It is not a taste to be addicted to alcohol all your life. If you are drunk, you will forget everything." The drunken guest is lonely and sad, and the tears of worrying about the country ripple repeatedly on the pillow. "Patriotism is beyond words.
When Lu You was appointed as a doctor of rites, he met Wu, a Manchu official. The patriotic poet could not help but be full of loyalty and advice to the emperor to strengthen national defense. As a result, he was dismissed on trumped-up charges. Seeing the decline of the country, Lu You was filled with emotion: "You can sigh and be in good health. Did you miss your country at that time? " A fierce attack was made on the capitulators who betrayed the country and made peace.
After Lu You was dismissed, he lived in his hometown in the mountains for a long time. Close to the lower class, he wrote poems reflecting farmers' life and rural scenery, such as Autumn, Spring Festival Evening and Visiting Shanxi Village.
Although Lu You is old and frail, his patriotic enthusiasm is undiminished. He actively supported Han Yi's northern expedition plan, but soon Han Yi was killed in the northern expedition failure, and Lu You was also implicated. However, Lu You is patriotic and sincere. When he died in his later years, he still left the eternal swan song "Xiuer": "I will know that everything is empty after death, but I am sad to see Kyushu. Julian Waghann set the Central Plains Day in the north, and the family sacrifice did not forget to tell Nai Weng. "
Lu You wrote tens of thousands of poems in his life, and more than 9,000 poems survived in the world, ranking first among ancient writers. Most of the poems express their feelings of resisting gold, serving the country and recovering the Central Plains, with heroic style and sincere feelings, which occupy a prominent position in Chinese patriotic poems; His pastoral poetry is famous for its freshness and beauty, full of life, and his words are both bold and graceful.
