Wen Tianxiang (Southern Song Dynasty) Genre: Seven-character Rhyme
Once the effort comes, there will be fewer stars around.
The mountains and rivers are broken and the wind is floating, and life experiences are ups and downs.
The beach of fear says fear, and there is a sigh in the ocean.
Who hasn't died since ancient times? Take the heart of Dan and follow history.
Translation:
By my own efforts, I mastered a classic, finally made a name for myself, and started a turbulent and difficult political career;
It has been four years since he led the rebel army against the Yuan Army.
The great rivers and mountains of the motherland are fragmented under the enemy's aggression, just like a strong wind blowing catkins scattered;
My life experience is also ups and downs, just like duckweed under heavy rain.
It is still frightening to think of the past defeat in Jiangxi and the evacuation from the beach of fear, the sinister torrent and the grim situation;
Thinking that Wuling slope was completely annihilated last year and was trapped in the enemy, now I can only lament my loneliness in the vast ocean.
People have been alive since ancient times. Who hasn't died? Give your life for your country and die a fair death, leaving this sincere heart shining in history!
