Only the boundless universe, boundless, can't stop the tears full of sadness. Recalling the past history, I am lonely and helpless, and I have no chance to meet those ancient sages who are eager for wisdom; Looking forward to the future, it is even more impossible for me to have the opportunity of enlightenment.
Those ancient wise men have long since passed away, leaving only some historical traces and anecdotes for people to mourn and cherish, and will never be seen again. Even if there are such heroes in the future, I can't catch up with them (is it worth mentioning that such mediocre people are like dust mustard now).
From ancient times to the present and even in the distant future, the world remains the same, and the life span is so long. Seeing the vastness and eternity of heaven and earth, I lamented the brevity and insignificance of life.
In contrast, human life is too short! If your ambition is too late to realize and your talent is too late to display, you will die in a hurry. Thought of here, how can you not worry and burst into tears?
2. On the Youzhou Tower, he rewrote his prose into 700 words, thanking him, "Before me, where was the past era?" Behind me, where are the future generations? . I think of heaven and earth, there is no limit, there is no end, I am alone, and my tears fall. "

3. In 696 AD (the first year of long live Tian Tong of Wu Zetian), Li Dezhong and Sun Wanrong, the Khitans, captured Yingzhou and rewrote it in the first person on the Youzhou rostrum (more than 600 words).
Wu Zetian appointed Wu Yousi to lead the army to conquer. I served as a staff officer in Wu Yousi's shogunate and went out with the army. Wu Youyi is reckless and has no strategy.
In the second year, failure was imminent. I asked to send 10 thousand people as pioneers to attack the enemy, but Wu refused. Later, Chen Ziang talked to Wujin again, but Wujin didn't listen and reduced me to sergeant.
I was frustrated many times, and my ambition to serve my country was shattered. So I boarded Jibei Tower (namely Youzhou Tower and Huangjintai, now Beijing) and wrote poems such as Youzhou Tower and Seven Poems for Qiu Ji Lu Jushi's Collection. I stood alone on the platform of Youzhou, looking at the mountains and rivers and thinking a lot.
On the stage of You Zhou in the North of Hebei, he may think of Le Yi, the general of Yan State who defeated the Qi army, or Cao Cao, the hero of the Three Kingdoms who marched north to Wu Huan and watched the sea from the stone. But under Wu Youyi's account, there is no place for him, and the hero is far away and the future is bleak. The loneliness that made him famous naturally condensed into a masterpiece that shocked the ages. I stood alone on the platform of Youzhou, looking at the mountains and rivers and thinking a lot.
On this stage in Youzhou, northern Hebei, I thought of Le Yi, the general of the Yan State who defeated the Qi army, and perhaps thought of Cao Cao, the hero of the Three Kingdoms, who made a northern expedition to Wuhuan and looked at the sea in stone. But under Wu Youyi's account, there is no place for him, and the hero is far away and the future is bleak. The loneliness that made him famous naturally condensed into a masterpiece that shocked the ages. Looking back, I can see where there are ancient wise monarchs, but I can't see a monarch who is a good corporal. I am really unlucky.
Thinking of the long and high sky and the long and wide land, I am sad alone, and people can't help crying and wetting my skirt.
4. The essay "Youzhou Tower" The Tang Dynasty was the most active period in China's poetry circle. If there are lonely poets, people will probably think of Jia Dao and Meng Jiao. The skinny suburban island gives the impression that a person is walking alone and singing hard. However, in China, scholars of all dynasties have their own societies, and Jia Dao and Meng Jiao are no exception. Meng Jiao's life is just a little shabby, with endless chorus among scholars and poets, not to mention loneliness. If Jia Dao is lonely, there will be no magical experience of "riding a donkey to Yin Da and getting a book to preach". He inadvertently said, "Chang 'an is full of fallen leaves", and was riding on the donkey's back, thinking hard about the next link, only to collide with Jing and Liu Qichu's team. If Liu Qichu is not a good poet, it is more appropriate for him to use "push" or "knock" in order to think that "birds stay in the trees by the pool and monks knock at the door under the moon". Therefore, Han Yu, assistant minister of the official department, is the first of the eight masters in Tang and Song Dynasties, and a famous scholar and poet in ancient and modern times. As for Tang Xuanzong's private visit to Fagan Temple incognito, he accidentally looked through the manuscript and was snatched away by him, adding, "Do you know this? "I was so angry that the emperor who loves to write poetry never gave him a decent official. Jia Dao and Meng Jiao had a large number of mentors and friends at that time, and they were never really lonely. The lonely poet did, and that was Chen Ziang, the pioneer of the Tang and Song Dynasties.
"Before me, where was the past era? Behind me, where are the future generations? . I think of heaven and earth, there is no limit, there is no end, I am alone, and my tears fall. " From this poem "Youzhou Tower", which has been handed down through the ages, we can see the poet's lonely feelings of being alone and independent.
Chen Ziang became a scholar at the age of 20 and supported Wu Zetian politically. At the age of twenty-nine, she wrote to Wu Zetian's Eight Questions and Answers, arguing that the punishment should be lighter, talents should be used, people who are eager to learn should be rewarded, and corvee should be reduced. He put forward many ideas that meet the people's wishes. But Wu Zetian was busy with imperial reform and had her own set of policies. Not only did he not pay attention to the opinions of Chen Ziang, the Minister of Literature, but he was fired because he neglected to discuss politics too much. A few years later, he returned to his official position and was involved in Joe's case because he had participated in Joe's Northern Expedition with the left servant and became close friends. After he got out of prison, he became a right-handed man in Luoyang. At that time, the Khitans lived on the northeast border. Although they are not powerful, they are potential threats. During the reign of Wu Zetian, Li Zhongyu, the governor of the Song Dynasty who was guarding the northeast, attempted to split the country. Qidan took the opportunity to invade the south, and even fell into three States: You, Ji and Ying. In the first year of Tian Tong, Wu Zetian appointed Wu Yousi, a rare straw bag military commander in the history of China, to lead the northern expedition, and Chen Ziang also went north with the army as a strategist. Wu Youyi knows nothing about military affairs. A pick up the enemy, defeat, pioneer Wang Xiaojie army was destroyed. Chen Ziang repeatedly put forward the strategy of breaking the enemy, but Wu Youyi ignored it. The enemy is menacing and cannot sit idly by; Chen Ziang then asked ten thousand people to divide the army into forwards to resist the potential threat of the enemy. Wu Youyi not only didn't listen to his advice this time, but also demoted him. In this context, Chen Ziang occasionally boarded Youzhou Taiwan, looking at the rivers and mountains, with a broad vision and endless regrets about the world he has been facing for thousands of years.
The poet stood alone on the platform of Youzhou, looking at the mountains and rivers and thinking a lot. Is he worried about the Tang Dynasty or the depression of sentimental culture? On the stage of You Zhou in the North of Hebei, he may think of Le Yi, the general of Yan State who defeated the Qi army, or Cao Cao, the hero of the Three Kingdoms who marched north to Wu Huan and watched the sea from the stone. But under Wu Youyi's account, there is no place for him, and the hero is far away and the future is bleak. The loneliness that made him famous naturally condensed into a masterpiece that shocked the ages. "Before me, where was the past era? Behind me, are the future generations? " Inevitably, there is sorrow for the times, but there are also poets' hatred for dirty poems. Poets can't see the ancient sages, and the ancients didn't have time to see poets; The poet can't see the future Yingjie, and the future Yingjie can't see the poet. What poets can see, what they can see, is only the present era. This is a gloomy and angry time. In the early Tang Dynasty, the four outstanding poets quarreled for a while, and left quietly without leaving anything. Zhang, a contemporary of his, quietly left an article "Moonlit Night on a Spring River" without discussing poetry creation in theory. In the prosperous Tang Dynasty, he could not see the splendid scenery of the poetic country. Du Li, Bai Yuan, Wang Wei, Gao Shi and Cen Can were not born at that time. What have Song Like Wenzhi and Shen Quanqi's people done now? What poems have you written? Just some coquettish, charming and pleasing works. Between the prosperous Tang Dynasty and the early Tang Dynasty, only he, Chen Ziang, fought desperately to change the lazy poetic style, and only he was fighting alone. "There are more than two rooms, and Lianji is the only one." Poets only have ambition and ambition, but they have no supernatural power. He is not alone in seeking failure, nor is he Xia Xueyi the golden snake. In the struggle against the decadent court poems, he seems a little at a loss. "Heaven and earth are long" and life is short. Every time I think about it, why not "shed tears"? Just four sentences, like a cloud, are so deep and gloomy! After thousands of miles and thousands of Ma Benteng, what a fierce indignation! Here, we see a lonely loner and a sentimental person with mixed feelings and infinite worries. There is no doubt that Chen Ziang is a lonely warrior in the world of poetry. He connected the past and the future between the early Tang Dynasty and the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and finally cleaned up the mud of palace poems with theory and practice, opening up the road to the prosperous Tang Dynasty. (End)
5. The ancient poems on Youzhou rostrum were rewritten and written by himself, which gave a material.
No one can see the ancient wisdom of the ancient king, only those wise men who can't see the afterlife can see it. I think of heaven and earth, there is no limit, there is no end [3], I am alone, tears fell down [4].

To annotate ...
This poem was written in the first year of Long Live Tian Tong (696). Due to the rebellion of Qidan, Wu Zetian ordered Jian Wang to lead an army to crusade against Qidan, who was an army staff officer. Wu Youyi was born in a famous family and knew nothing about the military, which led to the former army falling into a trap. Chen Ziang put forward a strange plan, but it was not adopted. He couldn't bear to see the danger, and a few days later he remonstrated, which angered Wu Youyi and was demoted to sergeant. With grief and indignation, he climbed the Jibei Tower and wrote this song "Youzhou Tower" which shocked the world. Youzhoutai: Jibei Building, also known as Yantai and Huang Jintai, is located in the southwest of Beijing today. According to legend, during the Warring States Period, Yan Zhaowang was a place of national humiliation. He adopted Guo Kun's suggestion, built a high platform in Ji Cheng, the Yan Dou, which was gilded and recruited talents from all over the world, and finally got Le Yi and others to make the country prosperous. [2] Chen Ziang (66 1-702), a famous poet in the early Tang Dynasty, was born in Shehong, Zizhou (now Shehong County, Sichuan Province) and was a scholar in the first year of Tang Ruizong civilization (684). In poetry, he flaunted the style of Han and Wei, and opposed the extravagant style of Qi and Liang. Among his poems, 38 sentimental poems are the most outstanding, and their poetic style is simple and vigorous, which is highly praised by later poets such as Du Fu, Han Yu and Yuan Haowen. [3] Generally, the "ancients" and "newcomers" are interpreted as monarchs who treat virtuous men and women like Yan Zhaowang. Judging from the overall meaning of this poem, it seems more accurate to interpret it as a "hero" (including Yan Zhaowang and Le Yi). ). [4] Chuchuran: sad face. Tears: tears.
point out
Chen Ziang has always been self-righteous about his ability to govern the country. When his career is frustrated, he often writes about his feelings. Li Sao and Youzhou Tower are widely circulated. Although this poem was published because of unexpected talent, it can transcend personal gains and losses and look back at the universe with a proud and lonely personality. It has a strong sense of loneliness, strong self-confidence and heroism, and its meaning is quite rich.
From the artistic point of view, although these four sentences are empty lyrical, they have swept the world and created a proud and heroic poet image. This heroic image indicates the coming of "the voice of the prosperous Tang Dynasty", which can still impress readers after thousands of years.
6. A tower in the ancient poems of Youzhou. The poet stood alone on the platform of Youzhou, looking at the mountains and rivers and thinking a lot.
Is he worried about the Tang Dynasty or the depression of sentimental culture? On the stage of You Zhou in the North of Hebei, he may think of Le Yi, the general of Yan State who defeated the Qi army, or Cao Cao, the hero of the Three Kingdoms who marched north to Wu Huan and watched the sea from the stone. But under Wu Youyi's account, there is no place for him, and the hero is far away and the future is bleak. The loneliness that made him famous naturally condensed into a masterpiece that shocked the ages. "Before me, where was the past era? Behind me, are the future generations? " Inevitably, there is sorrow for the times, but there are also poets' hatred for dirty poems.
Poets can't see the ancient sages, and the ancients didn't have time to see poets; The poet can't see the future Yingjie, and the future Yingjie can't see the poet. What poets can see, what they can see, is only the present era. This is a gloomy and angry time.

Explanation: Some ancient poems are not as straightforward as modern poems, but they contain profound artistic conception and connotation. If you translate it literally, it will be tasteless. Back in Chen Ziang, he used to be a "rightist scavenger".
Wu Zetian's contribution is cruel, killing innocent people. Chen Ziang was loyal to his country, answered many books, and told the truth about the plan of rejuvenating the country by eliminating all evils.
However, he was arrested and imprisoned. After he got out of prison, he didn't want to go with the flow.

Description:
Some ancient poems are not as straightforward as modern poems, but contain profound artistic conception and connotation. If you translate it literally, it will be tasteless.
Chen Ziang was once a "rightist scavenger". Wu Zetian's contribution is cruel, killing innocent people. Chen Ziang is loyal to the country, and has written many articles, speaking out and rejuvenating the country. However, he was arrested and imprisoned.
After he got out of prison, he didn't want to go with the flow. A heart full of worry and anger and depression.

10. On a tower in Youzhou, the essay "Where are the lost years in front of me?" was rewritten. Behind me, where are the future generations? .
Only the boundless universe, boundless, can't stop the tears full of sadness. We can see the poet's loneliness from this poem "Youzhou Tower", which has been handed down through the ages.
