Jin Cuodao: A knife decorated with gold; Line: a form of ancient poetry. Lu You was born in Yin Shan (now Shaoxing, Zhejiang) in the Song Dynasty. When I was young, I lived in exile because of foreign aggression, so I had patriotic thoughts in my early years.
Lu You's father, Lu Zai, is also a patriotic scholar. After the Taiping in the Southern Song Dynasty, he kept company with patriotic people with integrity. Whenever they talk about the arrogance of the enemy and the shame of the country, they always cry bitterly and often can't swallow the table. All these have had a profound impact on land travel.
During the reign of Emperor Gaozong in the Southern Song Dynasty, 29-year-old Lu You went to Lin 'an to take an examination of Jinshi, but he was betrayed by Qin Gui. At the age of 34, he was appointed as a petty official in Ningde County, Fujian Province. Filial piety acceded to the throne, given the Jinshi origin, and served as a judge in Zhenjiang and Longxing.
Before and after this, Lu You once put forward many propositions to the rulers of the Southern Song Dynasty, such as loving the virtuous and being able to be far away from the villains, giving up fighting well, and repeatedly requesting to send troops to the north. For these, Song Gaozong Zhao Gou, who practiced the policy of bending his knees, and later Xiao Zong Yu Zhao were disgusted.
So transfer the post first, and then release it to the public. By the time he was forty-two, he was finally relieved of his post. It was not until he was forty-six years old that he went to Suzhou (now Fengjie, Chongqing) to be a general.
During this period, although the ruler of the Southern Song Dynasty continued to endure humiliation and seek peace, Lu You's desire to serve the country could not be realized, but he was not discouraged. Like Jin Cuodao, he has a tenacious ambition to serve the country, and has contacted many like-minded people to encourage each other, full of confidence in the country's rejuvenation. In order to express his integrity and ambition in this respect, he wrote the poem A Passage to Jin Cuodao. The whole poem * * * twelve sentences:
The yellow Jin Cuodao is covered with white jade and shines through the window at night.
Husband did not achieve fifty merits, and took care of the eight famine independently with a knife.
Jinghua makes friends with all strangers and falls in love with life and death.
In one thousand, Shi Ce was relegated to obscurity, and a piece of Dan Xin was reported to the son of heaven.
When you come to Tianhanbin to join the army, the light snow in Nanshan is rugged.
Alas, although the three clans can destroy Qin, how can they have an empty country?
The meaning of poetry
My precious knife with white jade and gold shines at night and goes straight out of the window. Mr. Wang is nearly fifty years old, so he can't make contributions to his country, so he has to stand here alone with a knife and look around. The people I met in Beijing are all talented people. They encourage each other and share life and death.
Although I am ashamed that I didn't leave my name in the history books, I am loyal but I hope to serve my country. Recently, she went to the Hanshui River with the army and watched the light snow in Zhong Nanshan decorate the mountain peaks like white jade. Alas! Even if there are three families left in Chu, the Qin Dynasty can still be destroyed. How can there be no one in China to save the country?
