At the end of the Qin Dynasty, there was chaos in the world. After years of fighting, Liu Bang came from behind, defeated Xiang Yu and won the world. But a few days later, Ying Bu, the king of Huainan, rebelled and the military situation was extremely prosperous. Liu bang had to do it himself. On the way back to the victorious dynasty, Liu Bang returned to his hometown Pei County and spent more than ten days catching up with his former friends and neighbors. Once at a lively banquet, thinking of the safety of the world, Liu Bang sang sadly: The wind rises in Yunfei, and Jia Wei returns to the sea. Andrew, soldiers are always looking! "The wind is surging" is a metaphor for the chaos in the world, and sometimes it refers to touching the scene. (Excerpted from The Biography of Emperor Gao Qiu in Han Dynasty)
not stick to one pattern
Gong Zizhen was a native of Renhe (now Hangzhou) in Zhejiang Province in the late Qianlong period of Qing Dynasty. During Gong Zizhen's period, the Qing Dynasty began to decline rapidly, the rich and the poor were divided, and social problems and crises continued. Gong Zizhen advocates that immigrants should open up wasteland in Xinjiang, develop the western economy and consolidate the border defense (proposal on setting up a western region brigade). Write to Lin Zexu, hoping to ban opium. In the 19th year of Daoguang, on the eve of the Opium War, Gong Zizhen had to leave Beijing for the south because he offended Zhang Mu, the minister of military affairs. When Gong Zizhen passed by Zhenjiang in the south, he saw a sea of people in the street, which was very lively: people were carrying the Jade Emperor, Fengshen and Raytheon to worship devoutly. At this time, someone recognized Gong Zizhen. A Taoist priest immediately asked Gong Zizhen to write a eulogy. Gong Zizhen wrote: "Kyushu is furious, and thousands of horses learn from sadness; I suggest that god stand up again, let go of his talents and don't stick to a pattern. " (General idea: It's really sad that China is alive because of thunderous changes. I hope God will cheer up again, don't stick to the rules and give us useful talents. ) "eclectic" means not limited to one specification or way.
Catch robbers
After long-term efforts, Li Longji, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, with the assistance of a large number of sages such as Yao Chong and Song Jing, started a 30-year-long Kaiyuan prosperity-the world is peaceful, the people are happy, and all directions come to Korea. However, after entering the Tianbao period, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty began to be content with pleasure, regardless of state affairs, and reused treacherous officials such as Li and Yang. At the same time, because of his great ambition, he was keen on the policy of expanding the territory and militarising the army, and the Tang Dynasty set up our time and stationed heavy troops in the border areas. Later, the number of our army and border guards increased. By the first year of Tianbao, our envoys had increased to 10, and our army had increased to 490,000. The huge number of troops consumes a lot of financial and material resources of the country, and there are hidden concerns in society.
Du Fu was deeply worried about the fate of the country when he saw the recruits of "Until the Dust Settles Outside Chang 'an Bridge" going to the front line and his parents and wife "running after you, crying and pulling your sleeve". He wrote: the bow should be used as strength and the arrow as length; Shooters should shoot horses, and leaders should catch their leaders. There is a limit to killing people, and all countries have national boundaries. If you can invade the mausoleum, how can you kill more?
Broken halberd stuck in the sand-reminding people of a fierce battle or a defeated army.
In the 13th year of Jian 'an, Emperor Xian of Han Dynasty, Sun Quan and Liu Bei joined hands to defeat the powerful Cao Cao in Chibi, thus establishing a tripartite confrontation among the three countries. More than 600 years later, Du Mu of the Tang Dynasty, walking on this ancient battlefield, has not felt the tension of the coming war. The poet lamented that time played tricks on people and wrote this poem "Red Cliff": If you don't want to sell sand and iron, you should learn from the past. The east wind does not match, and the copper finches sell well in Er Qiao.
Lu You (A.D.1125-1210) was a patriotic poet in the Southern Song Dynasty. Lu You was repeatedly attacked by the pacifists because he insisted on resisting gold. In 1 166, 42-year-old Lu You was dismissed from office. Having no choice but to serve the country, Lu You returned to his hometown of Yin Shan (now Shaoxing, Zhejiang) full of grief and indignation. He shut himself up at home reading all day, often sitting alone in the blue light until late at night. With this unforgettable experience and feeling, Lu You cheered up again. I wrote "A Tour of Shanxi Village": Don't laugh at the farmers' wine, leave enough chickens and dolphins in good years. There is no way to go because of the winding water flow in the mountains, and a mountain village suddenly appears in the willow-green flower bay. The day of playing flute and drums is approaching, and the villagers are still dressed simply. From now on, if you ride leisurely on the moon, you will knock on the door all night with a cane.
Liu Yuxi (772-842) was a poet in the middle Tang Dynasty. Influenced by Wang's "Yongzhen Innovation", he was demoted to Sima of Langzhou (Changzhou, Hunan) in 805. Nine years later, Liu Yuxi, who was in his forties, was recalled to Chang 'an. I heard that the thousands of peach blossoms in Xuanduguan were beautiful, so I went to watch them with my friends and wrote a poem entitled "Wandering in Xuanduguan": "The world of mortals is full of flowers, and people can't help but return when they see them." There are thousands of peach trees in Du Xuan, all of which were planted after Liu Lang left. "Because of this poem, he was demoted to Bozhou (Zunyi, Guizhou) as a secretariat, later changed to Lianzhou (Lianxian, Guangdong) as a secretariat, and transferred to Kuikui (Fengjie, Sichuan) and Hezhou (Hexian, Anhui), and later was dismissed. Fourteen years later, Liu Yuxi was recalled to Chang 'an again. At that time, the excitement in Du Xuan was gone: thousands of peach blossoms were gone, only a few cauliflowers on the moss were swaying in the spring breeze.
The poet was filled with emotion and wrote the first poem "Visit Du Xuanguan again": "A hundred acres of courtyards are half covered with moss, and peach blossoms are all in bloom. Where does Taoism return? Liu Lang came again today! " "Former willow waves" means that people will come again after they leave.
Watching the fire from the other shore-watching someone's troubles coldly from a safe distance
Qian Kang and Miracle were both monks in the Tang Dynasty. When Miracle was in Daolin Temple in Xiangxi, Qian Kang paid a visit to him. The master said, "My master associates with people who can write poems. Please write a quatrain as a thorn. " Qian Kang said: The red dust on the other side is as busy as fire, and the porch is as cold as ice. Don't ask the boy who makes tea. The newspaper door is a stubborn monk.
Late at night, I still practice a lonely Buddhist life.
Born in the Southern Song Dynasty, Lu You was poor and weak, and devoted his life to restoring the Central Plains. At the age of forty-six, Lu You went to Shu and served as a judge in Kuizhou (now Fengjie, Sichuan). A year later, at the request of Sichuan ambassador Wang Yan, he entered the shogunate to handle military affairs, which made Lu You very excited, because the Sichuan ambassador was stationed in Nanzheng (now Hanzhong, Shaanxi) and was the front line against gold. Wang Yan is the leader of the anti-Japanese faction. Lu You took an active part in military life, set his horse free and traveled all over the front line of Nanzheng, offering suggestions for the Northern Expedition. However, a few months later, Wang Yan was recalled, the shogunate was dissolved, and Lu You was transferred back to Chengdu and became an idle member of the Senate. This is really unbearable for Lu You who dreams of "beating the iron horse". He wrote in the poem "Hakka Sorrow": Riding out without a purpose is always right. The white hair is fading, and the yellow volume is empty and painstaking.
