Crossing the Yellow River
Fan Yun [Southern and Northern Dynasties]
The river is fast and turbid, and the soup can't be ling.
I finally made the list, and Songzhou won.
An empty court destroys an old tree, but a wasteland grows old.
I don't see pedestrians, but I see foxes and rabbits.
It is said that the river is very old, so the water is not clear.

The Yellow River is turbulent and turbid, and its water potential is huge and unstoppable.
Paddles made of cedar are also difficult for boatmen to use, and only strong boats made of pine can be competent.
The old wood lay down in the empty yard, and the old ridge remained in the wasteland.
There are no signs of pedestrians here, only foxes and rabbits.
I want to tell the old people by the Yellow River that the turbid water is quite clear.
Appreciate:
The first four sentences of this poem are about crossing the river. "The river is turbulent and turbid, and the soup can't be mausoleum." Write down the momentum and characteristics of the Yellow River: the current is turbulent and turbid. "The list is difficult, and Songzhou wins." What is said here is that even the ship seems to be incompetent, and the ship can barely win the load, which shows the rapidity of the river and the difficulty of crossing the river. Write four sentences you saw on the shore. "The empty court destroyed the old wood and the wilderness was destroyed." The yard is empty, and the old trees are lying in disorder, as if they were going to collapse; The field is deserted, and you can still see the ridges of the past fields. "I didn't see pedestrians, but I saw foxes and rabbits." There are no pedestrians around, only foxes and rabbits are rampant. The village here has been completely destroyed, just as it is written in the "The Fifteenth Five-Year Draft of Ancient Poetry": "Rabbits enter from the dog's sinus, and pheasants fly from the beam. The atrium was born in the valley and the inoue was born in sunflower. " This is what the author saw under the rule of foreign regimes. In this description, we can see the author's feelings of sadness, sympathy and indignation. Fox and Rabbit is both a documentary and a metaphor for foreign rulers. Looking back at the description of the Yellow River in front of us, it seems exciting: the swift and turbid river is an allusion to the decline and confusion of northern China. In the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhang Zeng combined these two comparisons and wrote: "The bottom thing is Kunlun, and the nine foxes are scattered in chaos, and the foxes and rabbits gather in thousands of villages?" ("He Xinlang") In anger, the Central Plains fell into the hands of gold people. The last two sentences: "It is said that the river is old. Why is this water clear? " The meaning of these two sentences obviously refers to clarifying the world and setting things right. Because the situation of crossing the river is written in the front, these two sentences are not blunt; Because society is dying and people are wasting their lives, these two words are very emotional and powerful. This shows the author's thoughts and feelings of worrying about the country and the people, longing for national reunification and saving the people in the flood. It can also be explained that The Old Man on the River may have used the allusions of He Gong. Ge Hong's Biography of Immortals said that Hegong lived on the banks of the Yellow River and could predict the future. The author's "message", a figure who is determined to solve doubts, can better see his desire for clear rivers. The allusions here are seamless.
The theme of "crossing the Yellow River" is really rare in the poems of the Southern Dynasties. Being in the north, the author wrote down his feelings during his journey, thus revealing his ambition to clarify the world. In this case, the creation of this poem is very valuable when "Jiang Zuoshen seeks fame" (Xin Qiji's He Xinlang) no longer cares about the land of the Central Plains.
