Two poems by Ma Wei
One of them
I hope Ma Wei will move the earth and bury her red powder into ashes.
If the king's Tao can conquer the country, how can the jade chariot pass Mawei?
Second
Overseas disciples heard about Jiuzhou, and their fate was uncertain.
The tiger traveling in the sky heard the night watchman, but there was no chicken man announcing the dawn.
On this day, the six armies were stationed together. At that time, the Chinese Valentine's Day was laughing and morning glory.
How can the Four Ji be the emperor, not as good as the Lu family?
Vernacular translation:
Part 1
The situation suddenly changed, An Lushan raised the flag to rebel, the rebels moved to Chang'an in a shocking way, and they were helplessly killed His beloved concubine, Emperor Xuanzong himself soon died of depression. If Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty really believed that Concubine Yang had the ability to overthrow the country, why did the emperor's jade chariot flee to Mawei in a hurry?
Second
It is said that in addition to the nine states in the world, there is also the Great Kyushu. I'm afraid that their destiny in this life has been exhausted, and their future life is still unknown. Staying together or separated, who knows. I recall that during the Ming Dynasty, when Emperor Ming was temporarily stationed in Mawei, he could hear the sound of golden towers but could not see the prosperity of the palace. In just a few short nights, things have changed, people have changed, and the stars have changed. Unexpectedly, the jade beauty has become empty. The younger brother was dishonest, and the three armies killed his younger sister in anger. The sky that night was just like the sky that laughed at the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl in the Palace of Eternal Life that night. Unexpectedly, she was even worse than the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. Thinking about it, the emperor is nothing more than this, and he cannot even protect his beloved. If I had known this, I would not be as good as Mochou Nu from the Xiao family.
Creative background:
This poem sings about the Mawei Incident. The Mawei Incident occurred after the Anshi Rebellion broke out in the 14th year of Tianbao's reign under Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty (755). Li Shangyin lived in an atmosphere of national decline in the late Tang Dynasty, which inevitably made him more critical of history, more of a saving sentiment towards politics, and more of a hatred for those who were dissolute and harmed the country. , so I wrote this set of poems to express an allegorical meaning.
"Two Poems of Mawei" are two epic poems composed by the poet Li Shangyin of the Tang Dynasty. One is Qijue and the other is Qilv. Both are based on the stories of Li Longji (Tang Xuanzong) and Yang Yuhuan (Yang Guifei). As a lyrical object, the poem implies the author's strong criticism of Tang Xuanzong.
Li Shangyin (about 813-about 858), whose courtesy name was Yishan, also named Yuxi (Xi) Sheng, and also Fan Nansheng, was originally from Hanoi, Huaizhou (now Qinyang, Jiaozuo, Henan), and was born in Xingyang, Zhengzhou (now Xingyang, Zhengzhou) Xingyang City, Zhengzhou, Henan Province), a famous poet in the late Tang Dynasty. Together with Du Mu, he is known as "Xiao Li Du", and with Wen Tingyun, he is known as "Wen Li".
Li Shangyin was one of the few poets in the late Tang Dynasty and even the entire Tang Dynasty who deliberately pursued poetic beauty. He is good at poetry writing, and his parallel prose has high literary value. His poems have novel ideas and beautiful styles. In particular, some love poems and untitled poems are sentimental, beautiful and moving, and are widely read. However, some poems (represented by "Jin Se") are too obscure and difficult to understand. There is a saying that "poets always love Xikun and hate that no one writes Zheng Jian."
In the second year of Emperor Wenzong's reign (837), Li Shangyin became a Jinshi and served as Secretary, Provincial Secretary, Hongnong Wei, etc. Because he was involved in the political whirlpool of the "Niu-Li Party Controversy", he was marginalized and struggled throughout his life. In the late Dazhong year of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty (about 858), Li Shangyin died of illness in Zhengzhou and was buried in his hometown of Xingyang. Some people also say that he was buried at the foot of Qinghua Beishan in the east plain of Yongdian, Huaizhou (now Wangzhuang Town, Qinyang Mountain), his ancestral home.
