Viewing the Sea is a four-character poem written by Cao Cao, a poet in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. This poem is a magnificent picture of the sea when Cao Cao climbed Jieshi Mountain and watched the sea with a lot of romantic passion. It depicts the magnificence of the motherland's rivers and mountains. ?
The whole poem (excerpt) is as follows:
A trip to the sun and the moon, if unexpected;
Han is a talented star, if you take him by surprise.
I am glad to use this poem to express my inner desire.
The translation is as follows:
The bright stars in the Milky Way also seem to emerge from the embrace of the sea.
I am very happy, so I use this poem to express my inner ambition.
Oh, I'm so happy! I just use poetry to express my inner ambition.
Extended data:
Wuhuan was a great disaster in Northeast China at that time. In the 11th year of Jian 'an (2006), Wu Huan invaded Youzhou and captured more than 100,000 Han people. In the same year, Yuan Shang and Yuan, the sons of Yuan Shao, colluded with Ta Dun, the leader of Wuhuan in western Liaoning, and repeatedly harassed the border, so that Cao Cao had to resolutely decide to conquer Wuhuan in the 12th year of Jian 'an (207). Later, under the guidance of Tian Chou, he used tricks.
Cao Cao finally won a decisive victory in the great war in August this year. This victory consolidated Cao Cao's rear areas and laid the foundation for the next year's conquest of the south, with a view to realizing the grand aspiration of reunifying China. "Looking at the Sea" is about the time when Wu Huan, who won the Northern Expedition, crossed Jieshi Mountain and returned to Li.
"Looking at the Sea" is a lyric poem, which skillfully combines the seascape in front of me with my own ambition. The climax of watching the sea is at the end of the poem. Its feelings are unrestrained, but its thoughts are subtle. Not only did the scene blend, but also the combination of reason and emotion.
Because it is implicit, it is more enlightening, more stimulating to our imagination and more intriguing. In the past, people praised Cao Cao's poems as deep, full and powerful, which can be confirmed from here. The tone of the whole poem is desolate and generous, and it is also a masterpiece of Jian 'an's character.
