The domineering power shakes China, but the ambition is unfulfilled. If you cross the Wujiang River at night, there are no people named Liu in the Han Dynasty. Live as a hero, die as a ghost. I still miss Xiang Yu and refuse to cross Jiangdong. Jueju (Li Qingzhao) was born as a hero, and died as a ghost. I still miss Xiang Yu and refuse to cross Jiangdong. Notes on the poems: [1] These two sentences say: (A person must work hard and make a difference.) When alive, he should be a hero among men, and when he is dead, he should be a hero among ghosts. [2] Si: remembrance, nostalgia. Xiang Yu: The overlord of Chu. At the end of the Qin Dynasty, he led the people to revolt and destroyed the main force of the Qin Dynasty. After the fall of Qin, he fought with Liu Bang for the world, but failed in the end and committed suicide in Wujiang River. [3] Jiangdong: refers to the coastal area south of the Yangtze River. Xiang Yu originally followed his uncle Xiang Liang in the uprising in Wudi (now Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province). Before committing suicide, he said that he had no face to see Jiangdong's father again. These two sentences say: To this day, we miss Xiang Yu especially because he died tragically and refused to return to Jiangdong, living in humiliation. Brief analysis: This poem praises Xiang Yu's heroic character who refuses to endure humiliation and survive. Live to be a hero among men, die tragically, and be a hero among ghosts. People today still miss Xiang Yu because they admire his heroic spirit in those days when he would rather die than surrender and would not endure the humiliation and return to Jiangdong.
