1. "Nine Songs·National Sorrow" Pre-Qin Dynasty: Qu Yuan
When he was fighting against Wu Ge, he was caught in rhinoceros armor. The enemy is like clouds when the sun is blocked, and the soldiers are fighting for the lead.
The formation is full of shackles, and the left side is wounded by the right blade. Two wheels of haze come to feed four horses, and jade canals come to support and the drums are beaten.
The sky is full of anger and powerful spirits, killing them all and abandoning the wilderness. If you can't go in or out, you can't go back. The plains are suddenly too far.
Bringing a long sword and holding a Qin bow, his head and body are separated and his heart is not punished. Sincerity is both brave and martial, and ultimately strong and invincible.
Since the body is dead, the spirit is the spirit, and the soul is resolute and the ghost is here.
Interpretation:
Wearing rhinoceros leather armor with weapons in hand, chariots crossing each other, swords and swords slashing at each other. The flag covers the sun, the enemy is like a dark cloud, the flying arrows fall, and the soldiers bravely rush to the front. They invaded my position and trampled on my troops. The soldiers on the left died and the soldiers on the right were wounded by swords. He buried two wheels and tripped four horses. He held a jade mallet and beat the war drum. The sky is dark and the earth is dark, the majestic gods are angry, they are killing them cruelly, and the corpses are abandoned in the wilderness.
There is no turning back from the expedition, and there is no turning back if we go forward. The plains are confusing and the journey is long. Wearing a long sword and carrying a strong bow and crossbow, the head and body are separated, but the ambition remains unchanged. He is really brave and full of fighting spirit. He is always strong and no one can violate him. The body is dead but the spirit never dies. Your soul is the hero among ghosts!
2. "Golden Crossed Swordsmanship" Song Dynasty: Lu You
Golden Crossed Knives and White Jade Dresses shine through the windows at night. The husband has not yet accomplished his fifty years of service, so he picks up the sword and takes care of Bahuang alone.
Beijinghua has made friends with all kinds of extraordinary people, and their minds and spirits are linked to life and death. He is shameless and nameless in the annals of history for thousands of years, but he repays the emperor with a heart of loyalty.
When you came to join the army, you came to Hanbin, where Nanshan was covered with snow and jade. Alas! Although three households of Chu could destroy Qin, how could China be empty and deserted?
Interpretation:
The sword is plated with gold and inlaid with white jade. At night, its dazzling light penetrates the window and reaches into the sky. The man is already fifty years old, but there is little hope of making a successful career. He can only wander around alone with his sword in hand, looking around in all directions, praying that he can show his ambition and try his skills in a small way. The people I made friends with in the capital city were all heroes and righteous men. They were like-minded to each other, fought for the country, and lived and died together.
I feel ashamed that I cannot leave my name in the annals of history that have been handed down for thousands of years; but I always want to destroy the Hulu and serve the emperor with a loyal heart. Recently, I came to the Han River to join the army. Every morning, I faced the jagged Zhongnan Mountain and looked at the peaks covered with crystal jade-like snow. Ah, although the State of Chu was cannibalized by the State of Qin, even if there were only three families left, the State of Qin would definitely be destroyed. Is it possible that our great country, China, does not have a single capable person to drive the Jin Lu out of the border?
3. "Poem of Sacrifice" Ming Dynasty: Yang Jisheng
The grandeur is still too weak, but the loyalty will shine through the ages. He did not serve the country in his life, but left it as a tribute to his loyal soul.
Interpretation:
I was born for the righteousness of my country, and I will die for my country. My righteousness should be returned to space. Although I am about to die, my loyalty will last forever and shine for generations to come. later generations. He has had the desire to serve the country for a long time in his life, but he regretted not being able to do so. He left his loyal soul as a ghost and still had to kill the enemy for the country to make up for it.
4. "Two Songs from Sai Shang·Part 2" Tang Dynasty: Dai Shulun
The banners of the Han family are all over the Yinshan Mountains, and they don't send horses to return them. If I wish to have this life and serve my country, why should I be born in Yumen Pass?
Interpretation:
The hunting flag of our majestic Tang Dynasty is flying in the Yinshan Mountains. If the Turkic barbarians dare to invade, they will never come back. As a citizen, I am willing to serve the country with my life. If a man has made great achievements, why should he return home alive?
5. "Crossing the Fortress" Qing Dynasty: Xu Xilin
The military song should be sung with a big sword ring and an oath to destroy the Hunu coming out of Jade Pass. Just die for the country on the battlefield, why should you return your body wrapped in horse leather?
Interpretation:
Soldiers going out on an expedition should sing military songs to celebrate the day of victory. Determined to drive the Manchu rulers out of Shanhaiguan. Soldiers only know that on the battlefield, they have to die for their country. Why even consider transporting the body back home.
