The ancient poems expressing patriotic sentiment in the third grade include:
1. "Ode of Lime"
Ming Yu Qian
Thousands of hammers carved out the deep mountains , The fire burned as if it were idle.
Don’t be afraid of being shattered into pieces, you must remain innocent in the world.
Translation: (Limestone) can only be mined from the mountains after thousands of hammerings, and it treats the burning of raging fire as a very common thing. Even if his body is broken into pieces, he is not afraid and is willing to leave his innocence in the world.
2. "Miscellaneous Poems of Jihai"
Qing Gong Zizhen
The sun is setting in the day when I am about to leave, and I sing my whip to the east and point to the end of the world.
The falling red is not a heartless thing, it turns into spring mud to protect the flowers.
Translation: The vast sadness of farewell extends to the distance where the sunset sets in the west. Leaving Beijing and waving the riding whip eastward, it feels like I am at the end of the world. When I resign and return home, I am like a fallen flower falling from a branch, but it is not a ruthless thing. It turns into the soil of spring and can also play a role in nurturing the next generation.
3. "Spring Hope"
Du Fu of the Tang Dynasty
The country is broken by mountains and rivers, and the city has deep spring vegetation.
I am moved to tears by the flowers in my heart, and I am frightened by the hatred of other birds.
The war rages on for three months, and a letter from home is worth ten thousand gold.
The white-headed scratches are shorter, and the lust is overwhelming.
Translation: Chang'an fell, the country was shattered, and only the mountains and rivers remained; spring has come, and the sparsely populated Chang'an city is lush with vegetation. Feeling sentimental about state affairs, I can't help but burst into tears, and the chirping of birds frightens my heart, which only adds to the sorrow and hatred of separation. The continuous war has continued until now. Letters from home are rare, and one letter is worth ten thousand taels of gold. Wrapped in sadness, I scratched my head and thought. My white hair became shorter and shorter, and I couldn't even insert the hairpin.
4. "Crossing the Lingding Ocean"
Song Wen Tianxiang
After a hard encounter, only a few stars were scattered around.
The mountains and rivers are broken, the wind flutters and the catkins float, and the life experience is ups and downs, and the rain and the rain are scattered.
Afraid to say panic on the beach, sigh alone in the ocean.
Since ancient times, no one has ever died, leaving a loyal heart to illuminate history.
Translation: Looking back on my early years of hard work in transitioning from the imperial examination to becoming an official, it has been four years since the war broke out. The country is in danger like catkins in a strong wind, and an individual is like duckweed in a sudden rain. The disastrous defeat at Panpantan makes me still terrified. Being trapped in Yuanlu by Ling Dingyang makes me feel lonely and lonely. Who has been able to live forever since ancient times? I want to leave a piece of patriotic loyalty reflected in the annals of history.
5. "I heard that the army was taking over Henan and Hebei"
Du Fu of Tang Dynasty
Suddenly it was said outside the sword that Jibei was being taken over. When I first heard about it, my clothes were filled with tears.
But seeing where his wife was worried, she was filled with poems and books filled with joy.
You have to indulge in alcohol when you sing in the white song, and you can return to your hometown with the company of youth.
That is, pass through Wu Gorge from Ba Gorge, then go down to Xiangyang towards Luoyang.
Translation: Outside Jianmen Pass, good news suddenly spread that the government troops had recovered the northern Hebei area. I was so happy that my clothes were filled with tears. Looking back at my wife and children, my worries have gone away, and I rolled up my poems and books. The whole family was overjoyed. I want to drink and sing and go back to my hometown together. My heart and soul were already flying high, so I walked from Ba Gorge through Wu Gorge, then to Xiangyang and headed straight to Luoyang.
