First, the original "Ode to History, Yu Yu Sword, Song Di":
Zuo Siwei Jin
The bottom of the gloomy ravine is loose, leaving seedlings on the mountain. One inch in diameter, hundreds of feet away from the high position of human youth and wisdom, and the handsome and heavy terrain makes it natural. Not because of the old job, once Zhang Jin borrowed it, and Feng Gong, a seven-eared Chinese mink, was upset and refused to admit it.
Second, the translation of "Yu Yu as a Mirror of Song Di":
Lush pine trees grow at the bottom of the mountain stream, and young trees swaying with the wind grow at the top of the mountain. Because of the different terrain, small trees on the top of the mountain can cover pine trees with a diameter of 100 feet. Children of aristocratic families can climb to the top and gain power, but talented people are buried in lower-level official positions. This situation is like a pine tree at the bottom of a stream and a seedling on a mountain.
It is caused by the terrain, and its position has never been long. Britain and Zhang Anshi in the Han Dynasty relied on the heritage of their ancestors. Isn't it a wonderful work for their seven generations to be Feng Tang? But because of his humble origins, he can't be reused until he is old.
First, the appreciation of "Ode to History", Yu Yu Jane Song Di;
This poem is written under the door. Talented people are depressed because of their humble origins. Children of aristocratic families occupy an important position regardless of whether they are gifted or not, resulting in the phenomenon that "the top grade is not poor, and the bottom grade is not powerful." These four sentences, Pine Trees at the Bottom of a Depressed Gully, show the differences between people at that time in a comparative way. "Run" is used to describe a scholar of humble origin, and "Shan Miao" is used to describe a noble family.
Only an inch thick saplings on the mountain actually cover a hundred feet long trees at the bottom of the canyon. On the surface, this is a natural scene, but in fact, the poet regards it as a metaphor of human differences and contains specific social content. Vivid image, implicit performance. * * Song is often used to describe people in classical poetry. For example, before this poem, Zhen's "My Brother's Gift"; After this poem, such as Wu Jun's To Wang Guiyang, it loosely expresses people's noble character, and its connotation is very rich.
Second, the author profile:
Zuo Si (about 250~305) was born in Linzi, Qi (now Zibo, Shandong). A famous writer, his "Sandu Fu" was well received at that time, which caused "Luoyang Paper Expensive". Zuo Si grew up ugly but talented. During the reign of Emperor Wu of Jin Dynasty, my sister Zuo Cai was elected to the palace, and her family moved to Luoyang as a doctor.
When Hui Jin proclaimed himself emperor, he belonged to Krabi and was an important member of the "circle of friends" of the literati group. Yongkang (300 years) retired to Yichun to concentrate on writing because Krabi was punished. Sima Yun, the late King of Qi, was called the governor of the archives. In the second year of Taian (303), he moved to Jizhou because Zhang Fang attacked Luoyang and died soon.
