3. Translation
So when the general came back from drinking at night, he untied the carved saddle in the pavilion. I hate the drunk captain of Baling. I didn’t recognize him in a hurry, and my peach and plum trees are speechless. Riding across Shehu Mountain, the rocks cracked and the sound of strings was startling. When he was down and out, he was granted the title of Marquis, and he was in the fields at the end of the year.
In the past, General Li Guang of the Han Dynasty went out to drink with friends in the fields at night. When he returned to Baling Pavilion, he dismounted and stayed in the camp. Captain Baling was drunk and insulted him. Although he came in a hurry, Ba Ling Lieutenant Ling may not know General Li Guang yet. But General Li Guang is famous all over the world. Although the peach and plum trees can't speak, they will naturally become treacherous under the trees. General Li went hunting halfway up the Nanshan Mountain, one person and one horse. He mistakenly mistook a stone in the grass for a tiger. The bowstring made an astonishing sound, and the arrowhead shot into the stone, cracking it. Such heroes were not granted titles. In their later years, they retired to mountain villages and lived a life of plowing fields and planting vegetable gardens.
Who asked Sangma Duqu for short clothes and horses to move to Nanshan? Look at the romantic and generous people, chatting and laughing through their remaining years. The Han Dynasty opened its borders, and its fame spread far and wide. Even at that time, even those who were strong had time to spare. Outside the screen window, there was a slanting wind and drizzle, and a slight chill.
Who goes to Duqu to plant mulberry and hemp? I won't go. I want to put on a light jacket, ride a horse, and go to Nanshan to learn from Li Guang's life as a tiger. I want to live a happy old age in a romantic, impassioned way, talking and laughing happily. In the Han Dynasty, the cause of opening up frontiers, fighting against invaders, and defending the frontiers was great. Many people made contributions to this national border, which is about ten thousand miles long. However, why is it that at a time when talents are in great need, a man as courageous and talented as General Li Guang, who has accomplished great feats in the frontier, is resigned to living idle? While I was meditating, outside the screen window, there was a slanting wind and drizzle, bringing a slight chill.
4. Appreciation
The story of Li Guang, the "Flying General" of the Han Dynasty, is well known and is often mentioned in ancient poems. Xin Qiji's "Eight Sounds of Ganzhou" is one of the famous poems. Xin Qiji started an army to fight against the Jin Dynasty when he was twenty-three years old, and he made many achievements after returning to the south. However, because he was upright and dared to criticize evil forces, he was hated by the treacherous officials in the court. Not only did he fail to realize his ideal of restoring the Central Plains, he was also falsely accused of various crimes and was removed from his official position in his prime. His experience is very similar to that of Li Guang, a famous general in the Han Dynasty. This poem uses the unfair experience of Li Guanggong Gao to express his grief and indignation at being slandered and deposed. Xin Qiji said in the inscription, "I couldn't sleep after reading "Li Guang Zhuan" at night," which shows that he was very excited at that time. The later saying "playing on Li Guangshi" is just a way of combining the solemn with the harmonious.
This word contains a few words about Li Guang's deeds.
According to the "Historical Records: Biography of General Li", when Li Guang was dismissed from office and was living in leisure, he "went out on a horse at night to drink in the fields. He returned to Ba Ling Pavilion. Captain Ba Ling was drunk and laughed at Guang. Guang Qi said: 'So Li "General." The captain said, "The general is not allowed to travel at night, why?" He stopped at Guangsu Pavilion and wrote about this in the first few sentences of "Speechless". The word "former general" is particularly highlighted here and is placed at the beginning of the chapter, showing the author's indignation against the snobbish Ba Lingwei. At the same time, the poem directly uses Sima Qian's praise of Li Guang as "a peach and a plum without words, and a trick of its own making" as a proxy for Li Guang, expressing his appreciation for Li Guang's simple character. One praises and one criticizes, clear love and hate. The biography also contains: "When I was hunting widely, I saw a stone in the grass. I thought it was a tiger and shot it. The stone was not arrowheaded. I saw it as a stone." The two sentences "shooting the tiger" describe this incident. Riding alone across the mountain to shoot at a tiger shows his courage; the sound of the bowstring and the arrow cracking rocks show his strong muscles. The fact that Li Guang was abandoned because he was such a strong person shows the dimness of the government at that time. The biography also records that Li Guang said: "Since the Han Dynasty, Guang has been among the Huns who have attacked the Huns. However, the talents of the various military commanders and below are not as good as those of the middlemen. However, there are dozens of people who have won the title of marquis by attacking the Hu army, and Guang is not the descendant. How can one win a title without meritorious deeds?" The two sentences "down and down" in Xin's poem refer to this matter. He worked hard but received no merit, and he was dismissed despite his bravery, which further illustrates the darkness of the government. A "Historical Records: Biography of General Li" is thousands of words long, but the author only used a few cross words to outline the character's characteristics and main life events, and the writing was vivid and vivid, which shows that the author is worthy of being a literary giant of the generation.
Different from the upper part, the second part of the poem is dedicated to the author’s own feelings. The third poem of "Three Chapters on Qujiang" by Du Fu, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, "I will never ask about heaven in this life. Du Qu is lucky to have mulberry fields, so he will move to the edge of Nanshan. He will follow Li Guang in short clothes and horses to watch and shoot tigers until the end of his life." The author's inscription says, "Chao Chu Lao and Yang Minzhan made an appointment to live together in the mountains." Here, Du Fu's longing for Li Guang is used as a metaphor for Chao and Yang's love for themselves, and he praises Chao and Yang for their lofty demeanor in not having a relationship with a foreigner. , in sharp contrast to the night story of Ba Linghe written at the beginning. Among them, the sentence "Looking at the romantic and generous people, talking and laughing through the remaining years" corresponds to the sentence "When I was down and became a marquis, I was in the countryside at the end of the year", which shows the author's strong self-confidence that he is unfazed by favors and humiliations and has no regrets. "The Han Dynasty opened its borders, and its fame spread far and wide. Even at that time, healthy people had no time to spare." This sentence, borrowed from the Han Dynasty to describe the Song Dynasty, is deeply emotional and highly ironic.
To be specific, it roughly has the following meanings: First, in the Han Dynasty, the people opened up borders and called for meritorious deeds. A strong person like Li Guang should not be idle, but he did. It can be seen that The harm done by evil tunes to the public and the intolerance of upright people are common problems in ancient and modern times, and there is no need to regret them; secondly, in the Han Dynasty, there were endless wars, and those as strong as Li Guang were abandoned and not used. In the Song Dynasty, when they sought peace and refused to fight, they should repel all brave men. , let alone lament about it. All of the above have negative meanings, but in fact they hate the corruption of government, pursue traitors and sycophants instead of the virtuous, and are deeply afraid that the country will become even weaker. The author was deposed because of the slander of a group of villains, so he ended with the scene of "outside the screen window, slanting wind and drizzle, and a slight chill", which metaphorically refers to the insidiousness and despicability of this generation, and also points out what the inscription says. "Night Reading" Love Affair. This phrase is based on the poetic meaning of Liu Zongyuan's "Climbing the Liuzhou City Tower to Send Zhang Ting Feng Lian to the Governors of the Four Prefectures". He changed "Miyu" to "Dry Rain" to show the triviality of his slander; he also added "Qing Han" to show his slander's weakness. This makes it more expressive.
This poem by Xin Qiji contains many poems from previous generations. However, he is by no means simply copying the sentences of the ancients. Instead, he adds vivid imagination and deep emotions when alluding to the words of his predecessors. For example, if you write about Ba Ling's night scene and add the imagination of "undressing the carved saddle in a long pavilion", you will feel that the scene is realistic; if you write about hunting and shooting a tiger, you will feel that the body and soul are flying even more when you write about the story of hunting a tiger and add the imagination of "cracked rocks and the sound of startling strings". When Xia Qian asked, "The Han Dynasty was open to the world, and its fame was thousands of miles away, even at that time, a healthy person had no time to spare." He spoke vigorously and politely, and after several pauses, he finished his meaning. He was sincere and full of infinite sorrow and indignation. In short, this poem is not only lyrical and touching, but also innovative in language. It is a rare masterpiece.
