It is this unity relationship between ancient countries and families that makes the feelings of home and country become the collective unconsciousness of China intellectuals and the strongest spiritual background of ancient literati. Mencius said: "The foundation of the world is in the country, the foundation of the country is at home, and the foundation of the home is in the body." In other words, the success or failure of your honor or disgrace depends on your home country. Therefore, even Li Bai's free and easy life plan for himself is: indomitable, unmoving, doing nothing, relying on heaven to fight swords, hanging bows to help the mulberry, and then making a blockbuster, jumping to the position of assistant, showing his talents. Once he succeeds, he will serve, dharma Tao Zhu and go boating in the lake and sea. In the final analysis, I still care about the country and want to help the people. Even Li Bai, a poet with strong natural thoughts, is still so, not to mention those literati who value the interests of home and country more than life.
China is a country of poetry, and this deep-rooted feeling of home and country will naturally surge in the poet's pen, reverberate in poetry and continue to be passed down. As early as 2000 years ago, during the period of the Book of Songs, the feelings of home and country were everywhere. For example, the poem "Millet Parting" reminds us of the rise and fall of the country from the wheat seedlings in front of us, and sighs from the deep heart: "Those who know me call it worry, and those who don't know me call it desire. A long day. Who is this? Later, the sadness of Xiaomi's separation became synonymous with the worries of his home country. It can be said that the feelings of home and country have already penetrated into the bone marrow of Chinese people and merged into the blood of literati.
Tang poetry is the pinnacle of China's classical poetry art, with rich connotations. Many poems express feelings of home and country, especially frontier poems. There is the generosity and heroism of William Wang's Liangzhou Ci, "Drunk in the battlefield, you don't laugh, and you have fought several people since ancient times"; There is Wang Changling's "Out of the Great Wall", "Only make Longcheng fly, don't teach Huma to spend Yinshan"; There is helplessness and melancholy in Cen Can's "Meet the Messenger of the Capital". "There is no pen and paper when you meet, and your message is safe"; In Gao Shi's Ge Yanxing, there is a saying that "the northeast border is smoky, and the Han Dynasty will resign as a thief" ... The feelings of home and country in Tang poetry are inevitably negative and gloomy, but on the whole, it shows more bold and heroic male pride, the lofty aspirations of soldiers to defend their country and the magnificent atmosphere of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
Ci is a variant of poetry, which is called "poetry" and "Tao" by orthodox scholars. At the beginning of its establishment, it was difficult to express the big theme and atmosphere by expressing romantic feelings, boudoir feelings and love between men and women.
