The first song praises Liu Bei's wisdom, martial arts and future prospects. The second song eulogized Liu Bei's kindness and kindness in caring for the people and the people's mourning for him. This is obviously a highly concentrated poem praising and praising Liu Bei for serving the general tendency of supporting Liu and opposing Cao.
In The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, in addition to a large number of poems focusing on praising Zhuge Liang, Guan Yunchang and Liu Xuande, there are also some people who praise Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, Huang Zhong, Dongwu and Cao Wei. Due to the limitation of space, they will not be listed here. 3. Affirmation and Lamentation In The Romance of the Three Kingdoms, many loyal courtiers, chaste women and martyrs, or committed suicide in order to uphold justice and loyalty to love, the authors often give full affirmation and deep lamentation in the form of poems. There are countless such poems. Let's look at the first time after Deng Ai attacked Chengdu and Shu, the main flag was lowered and the decree was issued. Liu Zhan, the king of the northern land, heard that he was angry and vowed to die. His wife urged her to touch the column with iron bones and clean bones. Zhan killed his third son, cut off his wife's head, went to Zhaolie Temple to worship his ancestors and cried, bleeding himself to death.
The author's strong affirmation with a poem makes people sad. The monarch and his subjects are willing to bend their knees and one son is sad. Go to Xichuan and plant the king of the North! Donate one's body to reward one's ancestors and scratch one's head and cry. Liu Zhan, as the minister of Shu Han, should faithfully defend the cause initiated by Liu Bei, and as the grandson of Liu Bei, he should try his best to carry forward the reputation tradition of the fierce ancestors. In the atmosphere of surrender, he had no choice but to be loyal to his wife, son and his own death. In that era, such ideas and behaviors should be greatly affirmed and naturally lamented. Luo Guanzhong did not make a long discussion and evaluation, but skillfully completed the task with such a short poem and achieved the ideal effect. Fourth, praise and belittle Mao Zonggang's "Reading the History of the Three Kingdoms" that Cao Cao is "the first strange man among the adulterers in ancient and modern times" is consistent with Luo Guanzhong's attitude of praising and belittling Cao Cao. Cao Cao is not only a strategist, a politician, but also a great poet. His "Watching the Sea", "Although the Turtle is Longevity" and "Short Songs" are all well-known poems. In order to praise Cao Cao's ambition, desire for talents and his sense of superiority and inferiority, Luo Guanzhong specially quoted Cao Cao's Short Songs in the first time. The geometry of life when drinking is a song: for example, the morning dew is gone and the day is bitter. Du Kang is the only one who can solve his worries. Qingqing's son is full of pity in my heart, but he has been pondering for you so far.
