Summer quatrains
Li Qingzhao's songs
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 of summer quatrains
Be a hero in life and a hero in ghosts in death.
People still miss Xiang Yu because he refused to drag out an ignoble existence back to Jiangdong.
Extended reading: appreciation of summer quatrains
In A.D. 1 127, powerful nomadic people invaded the Central Plains, destroyed the Qionglou Yuyuan Garden in the Song Dynasty, and took away the Hui and Qin emperors. Zhao Songcang fled south. Li Qingzhao and his wife also began to wander and flee. Soon, her husband Zhao Mingcheng was appointed as the magistrate of Beijing Jiankang. One night, there was a rebellion in the city. As a magistrate, Zhao Mingcheng didn't do his duty of commanding repression, but ran away quietly with a rope. After the decision of rebellion, Zhao Mingcheng was dismissed by the court. Li Qingzhao was deeply ashamed of her husband's chicken out. Although there was no quarrel, the harmony between fish and water in the past is gone forever. From then on, she was cold and distant from Zhao Mingcheng.
1/kloc-0 fled to Jiangxi in 28, and they were relatively speechless along the way. Standing in the place where Xiang Yu, the overlord of Chu, committed suicide after his defeat, Li Qingzhao could not help but imagine and was filled with emotion. Facing the vast river, I recited this poem casually. Zhao Mingcheng stood behind her, and when she heard this, she felt sorry for herself and deeply blamed herself. From then on, he was depressed and soon died of an acute illness.
The poem borrows the historical story of Xiang Yu, the overlord of the western Chu Dynasty, who refused to drag out an ignoble existence and committed suicide in Wujiang after satirizing the surrender and escape from reality of the small court in the Southern Song Dynasty, and expresses his thoughts and feelings of hoping to resist Japan and restore his homeland. The sentence "Life is a hero and death is a hero" is particularly powerful.
Li Qingzhao's poem, which begins with a pen, is correct and dignified, penetrating people's hearts and pointing directly at 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 make contributions 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 River, and the director of Wujiang Pavilion advised him to cross the river quickly, return to Jiangdong and beat the drums again. 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.
