In addition to being called a poet, lyricist, and writer, Xin Qiji can also be called a knight! A chivalrous man with the highest literary achievements in Chinese history, a man of great ideals who hides his pride and ambition in his heart! Such a passionate poet wrote the most beautiful pastoral poem in history in his middle age - "Moon on the West River: Night Walk on the Yellow Sand Road". The entire poem describes the scenery, and the pastoral scenery is panoramic and beautiful. But what is revealed between the lines is the helplessness of having great ambitions and no way to serve the country! The fragrance of rice flowers In 1162 AD, Xin Qiji, who was only 22 years old, experienced the first major change in his life. Xin Qiji, who had just been ordered to go south to contact the Southern Song Dynasty court and unite to fight against the Jin Dynasty, returned to his rebel army. But the rebel army at this time was not the one he left a year ago. The leader Geng Jing was brutally killed by a traitor! When Xin Qiji heard about this, he was filled with righteous indignation. He led 50 of his close men to rush into the Jin army, captured the traitors, and escaped intact! Xin Qiji then handed over the traitors to the Southern Song Dynasty court and took up official positions in the Southern Song Dynasty court. Xin Qiji What Xin Qiji didn't expect was that since he surrendered to the Southern Song Dynasty, he had been cut off from the north. With him, his dream of recovering the lost land and the Northern Expedition to the Jin Kingdom was getting further and further away. In this increasingly ostracized court, Xin Qiji was depressed but helpless, and spent the rest of his life living a half-hidden, half-official life full of ambition and passion. This year, Xin Qiji was unemployed again, and his location was Huangshaling Road, Shangrao, Jiangxi. Cool Breeze and Bright Moon On this night, the bright moon was in the sky, the breeze was blowing on my face, and the cicadas were chirping in the forest in the middle of the night. The rice flowers have bloomed, the fragrance is overflowing, and a good harvest can be expected. On a night with a sparse moon and stars, there are thunderstorms from time to time. Suddenly, he remembered that stormy night, when he was destroying the army wantonly. Xin Qiji was deeply moved and wrote: Xijiang Moon·Walking on the yellow sand road at night Xin Qiji The bright moon is frightened by the branches, and the cicadas are chirping in the middle of the night. The fragrance of rice flowers tells of a good harvest, and the sound of frogs sounds. There are seven or eight stars in the sky, two or three points of rain in front of the mountain. In the old days, by the forest of Maodian Society, I suddenly saw a bridge over a stream when the road turned. Singing cicada This word is so beautiful when you read it, and you can have a panoramic view of the pastoral scenery through the ages, which is so beautiful. The breeze is bright and the moon is bright, the rice flowers are abundant, the frogs are singing, the stars are sparse in the sky, and the rain is on the horizon. The beautiful scenery is all there, but it can't compare to the old thatched cottage. Young dreams, a lost heart, plus a heart with unfulfilled ambitions.
The sentence "Road to Xitou" combines the beautiful scenery of the fields with the ambition, the beautiful scenery and loss, and the conflict between memories and reality! One poem describes the pastoral beauty, but it also expresses how difficult it is to realize the great ambitions of the past!
