First, the original line:
Qiu Luxing Author: Cao Cao Dynasty: Han Dynasty-only the 22nd Han Dynasty, still dishonest. Give a monkey a bath and wear a crown. Hesitant, afraid to break through, because the inaugural king. Bai Hong is also the first to bear the brunt of Japan's infiltration. Thieves and ministers hold the national handle to kill the Lord and destroy Yujing. Swing through the emperor's inheritance, the ancestral temple was burned. Spread all over the west and cry. Looking at Belo City, I am very sad.
Second, Qiu Luxing's translation:
Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Han Dynasty has become the 22nd century, and the important figure (He Jin) is really superficial. Although monkeys wear hats and clothes, they are not real people after all. (He) was too clever to plot great things and hesitated to do things, which led to the king (young emperor) being robbed. Bai Hongguan was a bad omen from heaven, which came true on the king, and (He Jin) himself was ruined.
The traitor (Dong Zhuo) took advantage of the chaos to control the state power, killed the monarch and burned Luoyang and Tokyo. The 400-year-old imperial industry in the Han Dynasty was overthrown, and the emperor's ancestral temple was also destroyed in the fire. (Xian Di) was forced to move westward to Chang 'an, and everyone who moved along the way cried. I look forward to the horror of Luoyang, just as I was sad when I faced Yin Ruins.
Third, the exposure appreciation:
We read this poem by Cao Cao, just like reading the history of the late Eastern Han Dynasty. Reading Cao Cao's poems is like looking at a painting, and the living facts are in front of you. Dong Zhuo was in power in the Eastern Han Dynasty and was heavily in debt. The counties in Guandong pushed Yuan Shao as the leader and joined forces to attack Dong Zhuo.
Because all factions are afraid of Dong Zhuo and want to preserve their strength, they are all watching. Although Cao Cao chased Dong Zhuo for some time, he was defeated because he was weak and helpless. Many years of warlord war began between the allied forces, and the whole Central Plains region fell into war. This poem denounces Dong Zhuo's viciousness and perversity.
In artistic style, Cao Cao's poems are unpretentious and unpretentious. They won with deep affection and charm. Poetically, it is characterized by generosity and sadness. In terms of poetic genre, Cao Cao's Yuefu poems did not copy the rules of Han Yuefu, but developed.
Cao Cao initiated the tradition of writing current affairs with Yuefu, which had far-reaching influence. A large number of Yuefu poems created by Jian 'an writers and many poets from the Southern and Northern Dynasties to the Tang Dynasty can be said to be the inheritance and development of this tradition.
Cao Cao's literary achievements are also reflected in his constructive role in Jian 'an literature. Jian 'an literature can flourish under the background of long-term war and social fragmentation, which is inseparable from his attention and promotion.
