"Shizi" is an exhortation to his son by Lu You, a patriotic poet in the Southern Song Dynasty. Lu You lived in an era when the Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed by Jin Bing, and the Southern Song Dynasty government was in a peaceful corner, with broken mountains and rivers and tottering winds. Lu You was sad to see all this, but the imperial capitulationists dominated state affairs and there was no hope of resisting Japan and rejuvenating the country. He is unhappy that he can't serve his country. When his illness worsened, he wrote this poem to express his expectations and entrustment to his son.
The creative background of the poem Xiuzi can be understood from the following aspects:
Lu You's personal experience and emotion: Lu You experienced the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty and the partial security of the Southern Song Dynasty all his life, and personally experienced the pain and helplessness of the country's destruction and family's death. He once served in the army and the government, but because he advocated the war of resistance and revival, he was repeatedly excluded and hit by capitulationists. Although he was seriously ill in his later years, he still remembered the fate of the country, and the entrustment of his son was also an expression of his heart.
The dispute between surrender and anti-Japanese war in the Southern Song Dynasty: In the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, the imperial capitulationists prevailed and advocated compromise with the Jin Dynasty in order to achieve a peaceful corner. However, Lu You and other patriots advocated anti-Japanese, the recovery of the country and the recovery of lost land. Lu You's poem Xiuzi not only expresses his expectation and entrustment for his son, but also protests and criticizes the capitulators in the Southern Song Dynasty.
Poet's wishes and expectations: Lu You expressed his expectations and wishes for his son in the poem "Showing the Son", hoping that his son could inherit his wishes, persist in the war of resistance and revive. At the same time, he also expressed his worries and worries about the future of the country, believing that only through the war of resistance can the country be revitalized and prosperous.
To sum up, the creative background of the poem "Xiuer" is complicated, including the poet's personal experience and feelings, the surrender and anti-Japanese in the Southern Song Dynasty at that time, and the poet's wishes and expectations. This poem embodies Lu You's deep love and expectation for the country and his son, and has become a classic in China's ancient poetry.
