Original text:
In the fifteenth year of Herong's reign, the general did not fight empty borders.
Zhu dances heavily, but the horse is fat and the bow is broken.
Garrison Diao Dou urged the moon to set and joined the army at the age of 30.
Who knows that a strong man's heart is in the flute, and the sand head is empty.
When the Central Plains heard of the war, there were descendants who opposed Hu Chuan!
The adherents endured death and looked forward to recovery, and shed tears tonight.
Translation:
It's been fifteen years since the imperial edict made peace with the Jin people. It's ridiculous that the generals stationed in the frontier for nothing without fighting.
The rich and powerful mansion indulges in feasting and dancing all day, but unfortunately the horse is fat and the bow and arrow in the stable is broken.
The sound of the border guards urged the moon to set, but the thirty-year-old soldier turned white today.
Strong enemies have hardships, but who can understand the morale of the soldiers? The moonlight was desolate and empty, illuminating the remains of soldiers on the battlefield.
The Central Plains has been in constant wars since ancient times. Now only Jin people can carry on the family line here?
Adherents endure death, drag out an ignoble existence and expect to recover lost ground. I don't know how many people are looking at the moon wheel with tears tonight!
Poetry appreciation
Guan Shanyue fully embodies the basic content and spiritual essence of Lu You's patriotic poems, which is a perfect combination of ideological and artistic.
Guan Shanyue is full of the poet's thoughts of caring for the country and loving the people, which makes people cry when reading it. This touching power comes not only from his great patriotic feelings, but also from his superb artistic skills, the most prominent of which is the construction of multiple nested comparative rhetorical texts.
