Nostalgia for ancient poems is different from eulogizing historical facts or commenting on history with poems, but it focuses on expressing the poet's thoughts and feelings caused by ancient events, that is, the so-called "close words and far-reaching ideas." The first two sentences of this poem express the ambition of serving the country at night, and the last two sentences express the immediate feeling, which leads to infinite worries about national affairs from the real scene of Yishui in the eyes. The whole poem is profound in thought, emotional, desolate and tragic, which can be classified as "sadness" in Si Kongtu's poems.
The first two sentences of this poem describe the heroic man's strong desire to serve the motherland. Compared with the first two sentences, the last two sentences lament that things are different and mountains and rivers are broken. The whole poem is tragic and generous, desolate and painful, which shows the author's lofty national integrity.
The first two sentences of this poem describe the heroic man's strong desire to serve the motherland. There are two sentences: "Last night, the sword rang in the box, and Zhao Yan's elegy was the most uneven." Ambition is manifested by things, and the eager desire to serve the country is shown by singing swords at night. Although strong and fierce, it is not empty talk, but rude. The greatest feature of this poem is to closely combine current events with the enthusiasm for serving the country. The poet thought of Jing Ke, an ancient hero, and his generous feat of sacrificing his life to drown, which naturally aroused his heroic spirit of striving for progress.
Compared with the first two sentences, the last two sentences lament that things are different and mountains and rivers are broken. Lyric two sentences: "The water is flowing, the clouds are green, and there is nowhere to send Jing Qing." Love is born of scenery, and the feeling of worrying about the world is derived from the view of one water. The poet used Yi Shui to express his passion, apparently to show that those rulers were drunk and dreamy, depressed, feasting and enjoying themselves blindly, and had long ignored national security. The word "poor" seems to be a pity for Jing Qing, but in fact it is to express the resentment that it is hard to find a bosom friend and there is no way to serve the country. In Jing Ke's lifetime, his anger at his strong enemy could be "pointing at the crown and glaring"; Poets can only use "pity" to express the sorrow of the lost hero, which is the sorrow of an era. From the story of Yishui, I think that at present, with the invasion of Jurchen, the country is in crisis, but no hero has come forward to save the country, which has touched my deep regret and disappointment, resulting in indignation that there is no way to serve the country and heroes are useless.
The whole poem is tragic and generous, desolate and painful, which shows the author's lofty national integrity. This poem is nostalgic, clear, fluent and full of magnanimity and injustice. This tragic and melancholy poetic style is the main theme of patriotic poetry in the late Ming Dynasty.
