It's been fifteen years since the imperial edict made peace with the Jin people. It's ridiculous that the general stationed in the frontier for nothing without fighting. The rich and powerful government indulges in feasting and dancing all day, the horses in the shed are obese and die of old age, and the idle bows and arrows in the ordnance factory are rotten. Diao Dou, who reported the watchtower, urged the moon to go down. I joined the army at the age of 30 and now I have white hair. Who can hear the soldier's voice from the sound of Qiang flute? The afterglow of the falling moon reflects the bones of recruiters on the battlefield.
The Central Plains has been in constant wars since ancient times. Now only Jin people can carry on the family line here? Adherents endure death, drag out an ignoble existence and expect to recover lost ground. I don't know how many people are looking at the moon wheel with tears tonight!
Appreciating Guan Shanyue fully embodies the basic content and spiritual essence of Lu You's patriotic poems, which is a perfect combination of ideological and artistic features. Full of the poet's thoughts of caring for the country and loving the people, his feelings are deep and sad, which makes people cry. This touching power comes not only from his great patriotic feelings, but also from his superb artistic skills, the most prominent of which is the construction of multiple nested comparative rhetorical texts.
Every four sentences in the poem are divided into one level, and the three levels respectively select the different situations and attitudes of three characters on the same moonlit night as the structural framework of the whole poem. The language is extremely concise, but the connotation is very rich and profound. On the one hand, wealthy families have civil and military officials, singing and dancing, and do not think about saving the country; On the one hand, there are soldiers guarding the border, bored and unable to serve the country; On the one hand, the adherents of the Central Plains are ashamed and bitter, with tears in their eyes and looking forward to reunification.
A brief analysis of this poem is based on the old saying Yuefu, which was written when Lu You dismissed from office and lived in Chengdu. This poem denounces the attitude of the Southern Song Dynasty imperial court, shows the anguish of patriotic soldiers who have no choice but to serve the country and the desire of the people in the Central Plains to recover their lost land, and embodies the poet's patriotic feelings of worrying about the country and the people and longing for reunification. There are twelve sentences in the whole poem, and every four rhymes to express a layer of meaning. They are all about generals, dignitaries, soldiers guarding the border and the people of the Central Plains. The poet's conception is very ingenious. He took the moonlit night as a whole and integrated the three scenes to form a panoramic view of Guan Shanyue night. It can be said that this was a microcosm of the Southern Song society at that time.
The poet also selected some typical things, such as Zhumen, stable, broken bow, white hair, white bones, tears of adherents and so on. , showing the poet's distinct feelings of love and hate. The language of this poem is concise, with a word of praise and criticism, and it is very expressive. Guan Shanyue's poems are not only profound in thought, but also rich in emotion, full in image, vivid in description and artistic in character. The specific performance is strong generality, strong lyricism, simple and natural language and smooth turning. At the same time, it can be said that Lu You has the same artistic characteristics. The style of Guan Shanyue is gloomy, boundless, sad and intense. Lu You creatively used Guan Shanyue, an old topic in ancient Yuefu, while Guan Shanyue took frontier fortress as the theme to express the inner feelings of homesickness of soldiers.
On the imperial edict of He Rong, Lu You wrote the ruling clique to the soldiers guarding the border and to the adherents who endured death in the Central Plains. The content of the poem is enriched, the realm is expanded, and the ideological significance is deeper. Its style is no longer blindly low-key, but gloomy and sad. Lu You also skillfully uses the words Guan, Shan and Yue to organize materials and express themes, which is highly general and lyrical. Guanshan originally represented the geographical features of the frontier fortress, and the frontier fortress was always set up on the steep mountain when defending. Lu You, on the other hand, broke through this restriction and expanded Guanshan, from writing inside Guanshan to writing outside Guanshan.
