To annotate ...
People's heroes. Emperor Gaozu once praised the founding heroes Sean, Xiao He and Han Xin as "outstanding figures".
Ghost hero: the hero in the ghost. Qu Yuan's Mourning for the Country: When the body dies, the soul is a ghost.
Xiang Yu: At the end of the Qin Dynasty, he stood on his own as the overlord of the western Chu State and competed with Liu Bang for the world. In the Battle of Gaixia, he was defeated and committed suicide.
Jiangdong: the place where Xiang Yu fought with his uncle Xiang Liang.
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. The rulers of the southern song dynasty ignored the lives of the people and only cared about their own escape; Abandon the rivers and mountains of the Central Plains and drag out an ignoble existence. Then, the poet remembered Xiang Yu. Xiang Yu broke through to Wujiang, and the director of Wujiang Pavilion advised him to cross the river quickly and return to Jiangdong for assembly. Xiang Yu felt ashamed to see his elders in Jiangdong, so he turned around and killed hundreds of enemy troops, and then committed suicide. The poet lashed out at the shameless behavior of the rulers in the Southern Song Dynasty, and used the ancient times to satirize the present, which was awe-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.
