The poem Shizi is the last will written by Lu You, a patriotic poet in the Southern Song Dynasty, to his son, expressing the poet's deep and strong patriotic passion of never forgetting the "Northern Central Plains" and reunifying the motherland until his death.
The title is Xiuzi, which is equivalent to a will. In a short space, the poet bravely told his son, which was extremely aboveboard and exciting! The deep patriotism is vividly on the paper.
The original text is as follows:
I know that when I die, everything on earth has nothing to do with me. But the only thing that hurts me is that I failed to see the reunification of the motherland.
Therefore, when the great Song Jun team recaptures the Central Plains, you will hold a home banquet ceremony. Don't forget to tell me the good news!
The translation is as follows:
I know that when I die, everything in the world has nothing to do with me; But the only thing that makes me sad is that I didn't see the reunification of the motherland with my own eyes.
So, don't forget to tell me the good news when Song Jun recovers the lost land in the Central Plains and you hold a family sacrifice!
Extended data:
Shi Zi, a masterpiece of Lu You, was written in Jiading, Ningzong for three years (12 10). It is not only the poet's will, but also the poet's last call for the war of resistance. Eighty-five-year-old Lu, you can't afford to get sick. Before he died, he left a poem "Xiuer", which expressed the poet's helplessness and expectation of regaining lost ground.
This poem is full of twists and turns in writing, which sincerely expresses the poet's complex thoughts and feelings at the end of his life, as well as his patriotic feelings of worrying about the country and the people. It not only has endless resentment against the great cause of Jin, but also has a firm belief that the sacred cause will be realized. The whole poem has a sad element, but the tone is passionate. Language is natural, without any carving, but it is a natural expression of true feelings, but it is more beautiful and moving than deliberately carved poems.
Scholars who have read Xiuzi in past dynasties are all moved by it. Liu Kezhuang, a poet of the Southern Song Dynasty who was contemporary with Lu You, once wrote a quatrain: "It's better to be irritable before seeing Lu Wusheng. Knowing that Xiao Lu was ashamed of his recommendation, he paid Julian Waghann to join Luo. " Hu Yinglin, a scholar in the Ming Dynasty, commented: "The spirit of loyalty and righteousness falls between twenty-eight characters ... Every time I read this, I will burst into tears." He, a writer in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, said with emotion: "I am generous, tragic and painful, lonely and loyal, and I can cry." To tell the truth, the poem "Xiuer" is not only Lu You's dying entrustment to his descendants, but also a true portrayal of the poet's unswerving loyalty to the country and the nation, and a microcosm of his strong feelings for home and country.
