The author of "Magpie Bridge Immortal: Huadeng Zongbo" is Lu You, a writer in the Song Dynasty. The full text of his ancient poem is as follows:
The lanterns spread across the sky, and the carved saddles flew forward. Who can remember the heroic deeds of the past? Half of the drunkards were granted the title of marquis, and they went alone to work as fishermen on the riverside.
The light boat is eight feet tall and has three low awnings, occupying Duanping Island in the misty rain. Jinghuyuan belongs to an idler, so why should I be given it by your grace?

Translation
Playing chess with your colleagues under the gorgeous lights, riding horses and hunting, who still remembers the heroic actions back then! Drunkards who drank and had fun all day long were rewarded with titles; Confucian scholars who wanted to recover were forced to live idle and become fishermen on the riverside. The eight-foot canoe and the three-leafed black awning boat were traveling alone on the small islet covered with apple grass and misty and rainy. Since the officials (emperors) left him idle, the beauty of Jinghu Lake was originally only for idlers, so why not? Do you need the gift from your official family?
Appreciation
This was written by Lu You when he was leisurely living in his hometown of Shanyin. Shanyin is close to Jinghu Lake, so most of his poems in this period are "Fishermen's Songs and Lingsing". The chants about the mountains and the water, the table dancing and the boat modeling, seem to be clear and distant, talking about distant things, but it is unknown that this old man's body is in the lakes and mountains, and his heart is in the rivers and mountains. He wrote about the tragic life of "being old in Cangzhou", which is a reflection of the painful twists and turns of "heart in Tianshan". This song "Magpie Bridge Immortal" is one example. Carefully taste the poet's thoughts and real situation.
The poem started from the life of the Nanzheng shogunate. The first two sentences are a loving recollection of the most unforgettable military career in his life. Indulge yourself with your colleagues under the gorgeous lights, ride on a horse and hunt and gallop. What a heroic life it is! At that time, Nanzheng was located on the northwest border and was a strategic base for the restoration of the Central Plains. When Wang Yan entered Sichuan, Song Xiaozong gave instructions to arrange the Northern Expedition; Lu You also planned an aggressive strategy for Wang Yan, saying that "the strategy for the Central Plains must start from Chang'an, and the capture of Chang'an must start from Longyou" (see "History of the Song Dynasty·Lu You" pass"). When he first arrived in Nanzheng, he sang with confidence: "The country lost the Central Plains in the fourth century, and the teachers left the Jianghuai River and it was not easy to swallow. I will see the golden drum coming from the world, but use Guanzhong as the root." ("Shannan Journey") Therefore, he The mood in the army was extremely comfortable, so there were "magnificent feats of the year" such as "showing off the lanterns" and "shooting with carved saddles". The words and sentences are full of excitement and boldness. But the third sentence folds into reality and follows the word "who remembers", which immediately leads to a feeling of loneliness and desolation. The imperial court's national policy changed, and a promising opportunity was lost.
In less than a year, Wang Yan was summoned back to the court, and Lu You was transferred to Chengdu. The rumors disappeared and the great strategy was in vain. How many people cherished that lofty ideal? Who else remembers it at this time? The poet uses the power of the millennium to go around the world with "who remembers", and advances in the turning point. The last two sentences describe two types of characters and two paths: the drunkard who drinks and hases himself all day long is rewarded and granted a title; the Confucian scholar who is aspiring to recover is forced to live idle and become a fisherman by the river. Unjust, who can go beyond this? These four and five sentences use the word "du" as a turning point, taking the turning point to another level. After two transitions, the hero who once stood on horseback and shot tigers in short clothes has now become a lone man in a boat. The word "independence" is a high-pitched sound with a high pitch, embodying a deep sense of loneliness and anger and a sense of irreconcilable pride.
The next film inherits the contrast between the insignificance of "light boat" and "low encounter" and the mighty "Pingzhou Misty Rain" in "The Fisherman on the Riverside", and adds the word "Zhan Duan" to it, and then Make a transition into the next level. "Zhao Duan" means to occupy everything. Even if a reed is like this, the vast expanse of land is at a loss, free and independent, going and coming alone, which is called "taking advantage of the mist and rain". Three sentences describe life on the lake. The landscape is vast and desolate, extremely blurred by smoke and water, and contains a feeling of sparseness and despair. At this point, the tone of the poem turns into a relaxing one, and the rhythm is gentle. However, because the word "Zhan Duan" is propped up in the middle, it seems that the bones are open, and the anger is accumulated in the relief, and it is relaxed without losing the energy and high-spiritedness. Before "Zhan Duan", there was deep loneliness and indifference and a sense of arrogance, but now the word "Zhan Duan" is used here. So, "Jing Hu Yuan belongs to an idler, so why should the official give it to him?" These two more high-spirited and arrogant sentences were uttered without hesitation, and the words were adjusted accordingly, singing the highest note in the whole song. When He Zhizhang, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, returned to his hometown in old age, Emperor Xuanzong once ordered him to give Jinghu a song to express his sympathy. Lu You borrowed this story to create a new meaning - since the officials (emperors) left him idle, this Jinghu Fengyue only belongs to idlers, does it still need to be given by your officials? Besides, the world is so big and the rivers and lakes are so vast, there is no place where his eight-foot body cannot be placed. Who cares about the gift of the "official family"? This conclusion shows disdain, indignation and injustice, and is directed at the supreme ruler. It accumulates the impassioned and grievances through repeated twists and turns, and uses its vigorous spiraling force to repeat thousands of times. After hundreds of turns, it suddenly appears, so the whole word vibrates as soon as it comes out, the voice is passionate, the sound is leisurely, and the song is endless.
This lyrical song can well represent the characteristics of Lu You’s lyrics after his release. While describing the beautiful scenery of lakes and mountains, as well as the leisurely and joyful atmosphere, he always contains the deep anger of unfulfilled ambitions.
In the song "Magpie Bridge Immortal", the carved saddles are shooting, the Pingzhou is misty and rainy, the scenery is so vast and vast! Words such as "Who remembers", "Go alone" and "Zhan Duan" turn layer by layer, gaining momentum step by step, with subtle and subtle meanings, and how deep-rooted the feelings are! This vertical interweaving of scenery and emotion, breadth and depth constitutes a unique and profound artistic conception. Yang Shen's "Ci Pin" in the Ming Dynasty said: "The slender and beautiful part of Fang Weng's Ci is like the Huaihai Sea, and the majestic and fast part is like Dongpo. He feels that the old poem "Quqiao Immortal" (that is, this poem) is heroic, but it is a pity to live in exile. "He saw the "heroic spirit" in this poem, but did not see the unfairness in it. In the Qing Dynasty, Chen Tingzhuo compiled "Ci Ze" and selected this poem into "Bie Diao Ji", in the two sentences "Drunkard". Encrypt the dots to show appreciation, and the eyebrow review says: "The tragic words are also the words of peace." If it is said to be "tragic", it is close to it, but if it is said to be "safe", it will be far away. This poem seems to be detached and "settled", but in fact, it contains the spirit of loyalty, anger and depression in Xiao Ao's smoke, and his heart is extremely restless and restless. Without getting a glimpse of his hidden and subtle thoughts, saying that he was content and content would be ignorant of the poet's purpose and wronged the hearts of people with lofty ideals.
