Original text:
There is no way to level the temple Rong, sit down and let the sweet spring shine on the evening peak.
The first monsters have all heard about war horses, but they don’t know that they can only see flying dragons in the sea.
The frost hair of Gu Chen is three thousand feet long, and the fireworks weigh ten thousand every year.
I am a little happy to go to Xiangyan Pavilion in Changsha, but the tired soldiers dare to attack the dog and sheep front.
Translation and Notes
Translation The imperial court had no good plan to repel the invasion of the Jin soldiers, so the beacon fire from the frontier fortress illuminated the Ganquan Palace. I was exclaiming that I heard the neighing of war horses in the capital, but I didn't know that the poor emperor had escaped to the sea. I, a lonely minister, am worried about state affairs and my hair has turned gray, and the flowers are blooming in spring, which is even more touching and sad. Fortunately, Changsha has a general who resists the Jin Dynasty, Xiang Ziyan. He leads a weak army and dares to resist the edge of the beast army! Comments ⑴ Shang Chun: It is called sentimental for spring, but it is actually sad about state affairs. ⑵Temple: Old
Appreciation
This is a poem about spring, but in essence it is sentimental about the current situation and shows the author's patriotic thoughts and feelings. The whole poem is vigorous and melancholy, full of sorrow and anger, with ups and downs, which captures the charm of similar themes in Du's poems. There are two sentences in the first couplet: "There is no way to quell the army in the temple, and the sweet spring shines on the evening beacon". The first sentence is the cause, and the second sentence is the result. Using the method of borrowing ancient metaphors to describe the present, the crisis of national affairs is directly described. The first sentence, "The temple has nothing to do to pacify the army," means that the imperial court could not and did not dare to resist the invasion of the Jin soldiers. In 1129, the Jin army crossed the Yangtze River and captured Jiankang (now Nanjing, Jiangsu Province). In December, they entered Lin'an (now Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province) and captured Mingzhou, forcing Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty to escape to the sea by boat. At that time, Chen Yuyi was living in Shaoyang, Hunan Province, living in *** Mountain. Facing the bright spring scenery, he was deeply aware of the critical situation of the country and felt sad about the time. Du Fu once wrote "Five Poems on the Spring", expressing his deep sorrow and indignation at the Tubo invasion of Chang'an and Daizong's departure. . The Southern Song Dynasty was faced with a similar situation at this time, so the author used
