Quatrains, also called truncated sentences, broken sentences and quatrains, are short and pithy. It is a popular genre of Chinese poetry in the Tang Dynasty and belongs to a form of modern poetry.
In the second year of Jingkang (1 127), Jin Bing invaded the Central Plains, destroyed the Qionglou Yuyuan Garden in the Song Dynasty, and took away the Hui and Qin emperors. Zhao Song was forced to flee south. Later, Li Qingzhao's husband Zhao Mingcheng became a health magistrate. One night, a rebellion broke out in the city. Instead of counterinsurgency, Zhao Mingcheng chickened out. Li Qingzhao is ashamed of being a husband. When she passed the Wujiang River, she felt the tragic feelings of Xiang Yu and wrote this poem. At the same time, she also alluded to the Southern Song Dynasty and her husband.
Summer quatrains. Li Qingzhao
Live and be a man among men; Die and become the soul in the soul.
Today, people still miss Xiang Yu because he refused to live and returned to the East.
Translation:
You should be born a hero and die a ghost.
To this day, people still miss Xiang Yu because he refused to drag out an ignoble existence and returned to Jiangdong.
This poem, starting with a pen, is correct and dignified, penetrating people's hearts and pointing to people's backs. "Life is a hero, death is a ghost" is not a subtle combination of words, nor is it a clever touch-up of a few words; It is the essence of conciseness, the boldness of spirit and the fearless attitude towards life. That awe-inspiring character and awe-inspiring righteousness fill the space between heaven and earth, making ghosts and gods change color in vain. The place of "as" is "as", woman! Thin boneless hands, delicate body, soft interpretation, wrapped around fingers and heart, sad and touching, delicate and touching beyond measure. Because of her consistent writing style, she is known as an "elegant school" in the literary world. When the power of the pen tip is prominent, the power of the pen tip appears. How many people in the world can match this power and momentum? "I still miss Xiang Yu and refuse to cross Jiangdong." The poetess remembered that the fierce overlord of Chu was named Xiang Yu, followed the spirit and integrity of Xiang Yu, and hated the powerful people of the current dynasty for stealing the peaceful political affairs of the Song Dynasty. They all say take a step back and broaden the horizon. A river is the dividing line between life and death, but there is only one thought, which is the difference between life and death. In order to live up to the hero's honor, Xiang Yu innocently became a seven-foot man, innocently entrusted by his elders in Jiangdong, and paid the price for his own death. "no"! Not "can't", not "don't want to", not "don't want to", not "don't go". The charm of a pen with the word "nothing" is better than uncanny workmanship and higher than heaven and earth. A heroic spirit of "killing without humiliation" and "dying without fear without humiliation" permeates the page and permeates the back of the page, which is self-evident!
This poem clearly puts forward the value orientation of life: people should be heroes in life and contribute to the country; Even if you die, you have to die for your country and become a hero in ghosts. Patriotic passion, beyond words, was really inspiring. There are only twenty words in the whole poem, and three allusions are used in succession, but it's no harm to pile them up, because they are all the poet's voices. The poems that hit the floor are so generous and vigorous, all written by women, which really makes people overwhelmed.
Li Qingzhao (1March 08413 ~11May 55 12) was born in Zhangqiu, Jinan, Shandong. In the Song Dynasty (the turn of the Northern and Southern Song Dynasties), the poetess, represented by graceful and restrained words, was known as "the first talented woman in the ages". In the lyrics, he wrote more about his early leisure life, his later life experience and sentimental mood. In form, it makes good use of line drawing, forms its own school and has beautiful language. On the theory of ci, it emphasizes harmony and elegance, puts forward the theory that ci is different from one family, and opposes the method of writing ci into poetry. There are not many who can write poems. Some chapters have a sense of the times, praise history and use generous words, which is different from their style of words. There are Yi 'an Jushi Collection and Yi 'an Ci, which have been lost. Later generations have a collection of Yu Shu's ci. There is a collation of Li Qingzhao's collected works today.
