Appreciation of works:
"Song of the Great Wind" is a poem composed by Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty. It was when he returned from Pingtao County and visited Peixian County to invite his old friends to drink. Liu Bang sang this song while he was building a building while he was drunk.
The first two sentences of this poem express one's heart directly and boldly. The whole poem is full of a domineering atmosphere, but the last sentence also expresses the author's deep worry and melancholy about the country's instability.
Creative background: In 196 BC, Wang Ying of Huainan launched an army to fight against the Han Dynasty. Due to his bravery and skill in fighting, the military strength was so strong that Liu Bang had to go out in person. He quickly defeated Yingbu and finally killed Yingbu by his subordinates. On the way back to the army after victory, Liu Bang returned to his hometown - Peixian County (now part of Jiangsu Province). He summoned all his former friends, elders, and juniors to have fun and drink together for more than ten days. One day while drinking heavily, Liu Bang sang this improvised "Song of the Wind" while building the building; he also danced generously and cried sadly (see "Book of Han·Gaodi Ji"). During the banquet, 120 people sang for entertainment, and Liu Bang played accompaniments. The atmosphere was extremely lively. He drank with everyone. At the banquet, he sang this gale song, expressing his lofty political ambitions and also expressing his complicated worries about national affairs. Feeling.
