Han Dynasty: Anonymous
Fight in the south of the city, die in the north, die in the wild and have no burial to eat. Call me Wu and be a guest!
If the wild dies, I dare not bury it. Can carrion escape? The water depth is exciting, and Puwei is invisible.
The owl rode to death, and Xu hesitated. Why does the room in Lianglou face south? Why the north?
What can you eat if you don't get rice? Willing to be a loyal minister? Think of a good minister, and a good minister is sincere. Go out in the morning and don't come back at night!
Translation:
There are wars in the south and north of the city, and many people die in the wild. The body was not buried by crows to peck. Please say to the crow for me: "Please mourn for us before eating our soldiers from other places!" " ! No one will bury us when you die in the wild. How can these bodies escape from your mouth? "The clear and transparent river keeps flowing, and the dense Puwei grass is more lush.
All the good horses died in the battle, only the bad horses lingered and groaned on the battlefield. How will the people on both sides of the North and South communicate with each other when the camp is erected on the bridge? No one harvested the crops. What do you eat?
It is impossible to be a loyal minister and defend our country! I miss those good soldiers who are loyal to their country. Those loyal soldiers are really memorable: they are busy going out to fight at dawn, but they can't come back together at night.
Extended data:
"Fighting in the south of the city, dying in the north of the country, wild death is inedible." South of the city and north of the city, mutual understanding means that there are wars everywhere in the south and north of the city, and there are bloodshed and death everywhere. When describing a fierce war, the first sentence begins with "war" and then "death", but the tragic scene of foot soldiers killing the enemy is not described.
After the war, the earth was littered with corpses, and flocks of crows called "Yaya" and pecked at these unburied soldiers. In the face of such a tragic situation, no one can but be thrilling.
"Call me wu, to be a guest! Don't bury it when you die in the wild, and carrion can escape! " This can be understood as the poet asking crows to wail loudly for these tragic soldiers before pecking; It can also be understood that the dead soldiers asked the crows to mourn for them before pecking.
The phrase "the water depth is thrilling, and the thin reed is invisible" further exaggerates the desolate and tragic atmosphere of the battlefield through the description of the scenery. The cool river is flowing, and the vast reeds are rustling, as if crying to people about the disaster of war. "The owl rides to death and the horse roars." Suddenly, the long hiss of a war horse caught the poet's attention.
It was badly injured and useless, but it still lingered beside the dead soldier, groaning and refusing to leave. On the surface, it is an objective description of the battlefield scenes, but these scenes are typical pictures carefully selected by the poet, and they are all entrusted with the poet's deep affection.
"Liang Lou room, why to the south, why to the north? What can you eat if you don't get rice? I am willing to be a loyal minister? " Here, we not only described the scene of the battlefield in front of us, but also turned our eyes to the whole society: the war not only pushed countless soldiers into the abyss of death, but also destroyed the production of the whole society and brought profound disasters to people's lives.
In the last four sentences, the poet expressed his condolences to the dead soldiers. "Think of a good minister, and a good minister is sincere." "Zi" and "Liang Chen" are appositive here, referring to those soldiers who died in battle. The poet was filled with emotion and poured out his inner sadness with the word "sincerity". "Go out early and return late."
Sighing that the soldiers are gone forever, they are extremely painful and cause great sorrow. The last two sentences echo the death of the warrior at the beginning, which makes the whole poem full of a strong tragic atmosphere. This is a poem reflecting social reality, but romanticism is used in it. It is an example of romantic expression that the deceased actually spoke in the lyrics.
