Dingzhou nostalgia

Wang xujiu Dingzhou

Special elite troops guard the upper reaches of the river. If they blow first, they will be scared like seagulls.

Yangzhou flaunted the residual flag and won endless scolding on the ship.

The Southern Song Dynasty mobilized more than 100,000 troops, and Jia Sidao led the troops to resist. But Song feared the enemy and the war was unfavorable. At the same time, Jia Sidao retreated and fled, so the Yuan army took the opportunity to kill people, causing heavy casualties in Song Jun. Jia Sidao said: His father was cunning and greedy for the official, but later he followed his sister's example in managing the princess, and his life was corrupt. He is very interested in politics and has power in both government and opposition.

The poet of this poem went to Dingjiazhou, a military stronghold, reminisced about the past, wrote about the incompetence and mistakes of treacherous court officials, and expressed his feelings of serving the country.

According to the poem, when Jia Sidao commanded more than 100,000 troops to resist the invading Yuan Army, he was serious, and people seemed to hold strong hopes naively. However, when Song Jun was frightened by Sha Ou and feared the enemy like a tiger, when he heard the horn sounded by the Yuan Army, he was in flight and lost again and again until Yangzhou landed. But things are not over. Jia Sidao still did the same thing, waving flags and shouting, and having down archers. In this situation, how many people still believe that traitors who are afraid of death can save the country, but when they see the river boat, the soldiers' curses are linked together. Escape, retreat, infighting and failure are everywhere. As a result, a large-scale military operation turned into a ridiculous farce. As a result, the meaning of ridicule and cynicism in poetry is rampant. Nostalgia: Chibi Nostalgia

The red cliff is heavy, the water does not flow, and the name is empty.

It is very cold, and infinite souls wander in it.

There are ten quatrains of nostalgia written by Xue Baoqin in A Dream of Red Mansions, and the quatrains of nostalgia in Chibi is one of them. Xue Baoqin often boasts that she has been doing business with her father since she was a child, with a wide footprint and a lot of knowledge. This is credible, but not all the places written in Ten Poems have been experienced by her. Xue Baoqin's boasting about her childhood experiences is consistent with the overall low emotional appeal of these nostalgic poems, which both reflect her deteriorating situation in family of origin, otherwise she would not have taken refuge in Jia's home. However, what she lived in front of her eyes was always the luxurious life of a noble lady. Her really sad days will come with the decline of the four major families. At that time, she will go away from home again, and she will recall the life of the Grand View Garden with great sadness. [ 1]?

This poem "Poems of Nostalgia in Chibi" is a general statement, describing the death of Jia Fu, a famous family, in the process of decline, just like Cao Jiama's "crushing defeat" in Chibi. Otherwise, "Battle of Red Cliffs" can write as many topics as possible, and the author won't say anything, so it is so gloomy and miserable. This novel is not the author's autobiography. It may be a coincidence that Cao Cao and the author share the same surname, but the novel contains the author's feelings about home and country. "Infinite heroes swim in it" is not only a hint of the content of each poem in "Poems about Huai", but also indicates that the deceased is not limited to the nine people written. [2]?

The quatrain of nostalgia is not a real epic, nor is it a spring lantern riddle compiled purely for thinking about ancient love. Its appreciation of historical figures and events does not necessarily represent the author's or novel's view of history.

Nostalgia: ponytail nostalgia

Lonely fat stains and sweat, tenderness has been paid to Toyo.

Because of romance, clothes are still fragrant today.

(1) Mawei Post: Mawei Post, also known as Mawei Po, is located more than 100 miles west of Chang 'an, now in the west of Xingping County, Shaanxi Province, where Yang Guifei died. Yang Guifei, nicknamed Yuhuan, was raised by her uncle when she was young. In 735 (the 23rd year of Kaiyuan), she was canonized as Princess Shouwang (Li Mao, son of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty), and later renamed as a female Taoist by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty. She lives in Taizhen Palace, which is called Taizhen in Taoism. In 745 (the fourth year of Tianbao), he was canonized as the imperial concubine of Xuanzong, which was very popular. As a result, Yang's eldest brother Yang is the right prime minister, and his third sister is the wife of Han, Guo and Qin, who is a noble family with hot power. In 756 (the fifteenth year of Tianbao), An Lushan rebels attacked Tongguan, and Xuanzong fled into Sichuan and arrived at Mayi Post, but the Sixth Army was not stationed in Ma, and Yang Guifei was forced to hang himself at the age of 38.

(2) "Lonely" sentence: The face is lifeless, and the powder is stained with bright sweat. Write Yang Guifei's expression when she was hanged. Stains, liquids stick to things. Cheng Gaoben wrote "goods" in A Dream of Red Mansions, which was wrong. Geng thought it would be accurate.

(3) Fu Dongyang: Pay in vain and become empty.

(4) "Only because" sentence: There are many "romantic" things in the legend of Yang Guifei, which is a general statement. For example, "Biography of Empresses in the New Tang Dynasty" said that Xuanzong returned from Sichuan, passed Ma Wei, sent people to prepare coffins for rebury, and dug up the soil to get Yang Guifei's sachet. The Journey to the West, Liu Yuxi, said, "There's no one by the rock. See Ling Bo socks. ..... spread a thousand eyes, and the fragrance will not rest. " In addition, the legend of Yang Taizhen also contains the story of how Yang Guifei's scarf was blown to her head by the wind, which made her feel refreshed and fragrant. Clothes, Qi and Cheng Gaoben in A Dream of Red Mansions are regarded as "clothes", and Geng shall prevail.

The quatrains of nostalgia was written by Xue Baoqin in A Dream of Red Mansions, and there are ten * * *, among which the quatrains of nostalgia, ponytail nostalgia, is one of them. Xue Baoqin often boasts that she has been doing business with her father since she was a child, with a wide footprint and a lot of knowledge. This is credible, but not all the places written in Ten Poems have been experienced by her. Xue Baoqin's boasting about her childhood experiences is consistent with the overall low emotional appeal of these nostalgic poems, which both reflect her deteriorating situation in family of origin, otherwise she would not have taken refuge in Jia's home. However, when she writes poems, she always leads a luxurious life as a noble lady. The day when she is really sad will come with the decline of the four big families, when she will go away from home again, and she will recall the life in the Grand View Garden with a very sad heart.

In fact, the moral of this poem is "nostalgia for ancient poetry, nostalgia for the past with a ponytail", which is about Qin Keqing in the novel. In the first two sentences of the poem, she wrote that she was "sick in bed" and hanged herself. The word "stained with sweat" describes her body when she hanged herself, and her imagination is vivid. The book once said that she was "graceful and delicate, gentle and peaceful", so she used the word "gentle". The last two sentences say that Jia Baoyu is "wandering in the void" in her room. Therefore, the word "clothes" in the Chen Geng version of A Dream of Red Mansions is correct and should not be changed to "clothes".

There are ten poems in The Poem of Nostalgia written by Xue Baoqin in A Dream of Red Mansions, among which The Poem of Nostalgia for Plum Blossoms is one of them. Xue Baoqin often boasts that she has been doing business with her father since she was a child, with a wide footprint and a lot of knowledge. This is credible, but not all the places written in Ten Poems have been experienced by her. Xue Baoqin's boasting about her childhood experiences is consistent with the overall low emotional appeal of these nostalgic poems, which both reflect her deteriorating situation in family of origin, otherwise she would not have taken refuge in Jia's home. However, when she writes poems, she always leads a luxurious life as a noble lady. The day when she is really sad will come with the decline of the four big families, when she will go away from home again, and she will recall the life in the Grand View Garden with a very sad heart.

In fact, the moral of this poem "Nostalgia for Ancient Poems, Nostalgia for Plum Blossoms" is about Lin Daiyu. Du Liniang was bound by traditional ethics, his marriage was not free, and he died of depression, much like Lin Daiyu. In the novel, Lin Daiyu often quotes Du Liniang's lyrics intentionally or unintentionally, which shows that two hearts are interlinked. But "painting cicadas and Juan" here means "loving pets in painting", "flowers in the mirror" and "the moon in the water", which means that Jia Baoyu's wish finally became "painting cakes". Lin Daiyu can't come back from the dead Du Like Li Niang, so the third sentence of the poem says in a negative tone that she can't "reunite". When did Lin Daiyu die? Although Zhi Yanzhai's comments are not clear, he has made a "prediction" in "Burying Flowers": "Look at the gradual decline of spring flowers, it is the time when beauty dies of old age." At the same time, spring is the season when Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu once thought that they could realize their beautiful ideals. The so-called "fragrant nest built in early March" means this. But then "the empty nest has fallen" and all the ideals were shattered. Therefore, the sentence "Reunion is not a memory of Chunxiang" may also contain these puns. Chi Yanzhai's comments also said that the Xiaoxiang Pavilion was later "rustling leaves and chilly". If this is what Jia Baoyu saw when he lost his son, it coincides with the last sentence of the poem.
