Raise your head to the floating clouds in the northwest, and lean against the sky thousands of miles away with a long sword.
People say that this place is a place where we can see each other late at night,
the flames of bullfighting. I feel that the mountains are high, the pond is empty and the water is cold, and the moon and stars are pale.
Looking down when the rhinoceros is about to burn, but leaning on the railing, it is scary.
The wind and thunder are angry, and the fish and dragons are miserable.
The gorge is opposite the Cangjiang River, passing the dangerous building,
It wants to fly but still holds back. Yuanlong is old!
You might as well lie down high and curl up on the mat.
The rise and fall of the ages, the laughter of a hundred years,
I can see it all at once. Asked who was unloading it again,
A piece of sail was tied to the beach, and the sun cable was tied?

4. Appreciation
This is one of Xin Qiji’s masterpieces that expresses very strongly his patriotism. The author served as the pacifier of Fujian before the fifth year of Shaoxi (1194). Judging from the content of this poem and the thoughts and feelings it reveals, it may have been written when he was framed by the Lord Harmony faction and was dismissed from office. The author passed through Nanjianzhou and visited the historically famous Shuangxi Tower. As a patriotic poet, he naturally thought of the vast area of ??the Central Plains occupied by the Jin people. At the same time, he naturally thought of the legendary sword that fell into the water. In the critical period of life and death when the motherland is being slaughtered by the enemy, how much it needs a long sword that can clear away the dark clouds thousands of miles away! However, what the poet saw was only vast mountains, empty ponds, cold water, and pale moon and stars. The rhinoceros is eager to explore the depths of the pool, but it is afraid of the roaring wind and thunder above the water and the ferocious monsters under the water. It shows that if you want to obtain this sword and form a unified and powerful patriotic anti-golden force, you will encounter many obstacles and serious damage in the process. The latter film is lyrical in the scene. Although it reveals the thought of retiring in a high and sleeping position, although ambition is hard to achieve, the emergence of this negative thought is inseparable from his situation at the time and the entire political situation of the Southern Song Dynasty. The small imperial court of the Southern Song Dynasty stayed in a corner and did not try to resume its progress, but blindly compromised and surrendered. However, it suppressed and attacked the knowledgeable people who were patriotic and resisting the enemy in every possible way, until they were persecuted and suppressed, which made the great cause of unifying the Central Plains in vain. Therefore, while pointing out the negative thought of retreating and living idle that often appears in Xin's poems, we must also point out the objective reasons for the emergence of this thought.
The characteristics of words are concentrated in the following three aspects. First, the clues are clear and the hooks are dense. This is a piece of climbing. Generally speaking, the poems about climbing are often about nostalgia for the past, but Xin Qiji's poem completely breaks away from this cliché. The author is inspired by the scene and concentrates all his words on describing the main contradiction in real life: war and peace. The opening chapter looks to the northwest, which highlights the characteristics of the era when the country was in ruins and war clouds were gathering. , and then directly put forward the main method to solve this main contradiction: "A long sword must be used to rely on the sky thousands of miles away!" In other words, we must use self-defense counterattacks and a war to regain lost territory to eliminate the invading enemies. Next, the Shuangxi Tower leads to the legend of the sword falling into the water. The sword here refers not only to the soldiers and civilians who persist in resisting the enemy, but also to the author's own words. This is the first level. From "People say this place" to the end of the first film is the second level.
The author uses "the pond is empty and the water is cold" and "the wind and thunder are angry, and the fish and dragons are miserable" to illustrate that the patriotic and anti-enemy forces have been hindered by many obstacles and cannot see the light of day again, and cannot play their due role in killing the enemy and serving the country. After the next film, switch to "Immediate View", which is the third floor. It is precisely because the patriotic and anti-enemy forces have encountered many obstacles and even faced great dangers that the poet has the negative and retreating thought of "it is better to lie down high". In the end, it closely echoes the opening chapter and ends with what is seen before the eyes, making the whole chapter tightly linked and coherent.
The second is that because of the near and the far, the small can make you see the big. The author has great ambitions and takes it as his own responsibility to fight against the Jin Dynasty, save the country and restore the Central Plains. Although he was living in a small Shuangxi building in Nanping, Fujian, his heart was filled with the whole of China. Therefore, as soon as he climbed up the stairs, he "raised his head to the northwest" and thought of war, the fall of a large territory and the serious disasters suffered by his compatriots by the rolling "clouds". To wipe out the enemy, regain lost territory, and save the people from disaster, a strong military force is needed. But the author started from a fallen sword and developed it. The longest "long sword" is only the "three-foot dragon spring". However, the author used wonderful imagination and exaggeration to write the spectacular phrase "the sky is ten thousand miles long and the sword is long". This is the poet's heartfelt voice, and it also expresses the unanimous wishes of millions of people.
The third feature is the metaphor and strong contrast throughout the text. There are also words and phrases that directly express the thymus in this poem, such as "Yuanlong is old, he might as well lie down high", "The rise and fall of the ages, the sorrow and laughter of a hundred years, can be seen in a moment." However, more words and key words are passed through a large number of Expressed metaphorically. The metaphors in the words can be divided into two groups: one group is a metaphor for the enemy and the Zhuhe faction, such as "Floating clouds in the northwest", "The wind and thunder are angry, the fish and dragons are miserable", "The gorge is bundled with the Cangjiang River", etc.; Those of the main fighting faction, such as "Long Sword", "Crossing a dangerous building, trying to fly but holding back", "Yuan Long is old" and so on. These two different images form a sharp contrast and strong contrast in the word. This strong contrast is also reflected in the structure of the words before and after. For example, the opening chapter directly describes the critical situation of the country's life and death: "Looking up to the northwest clouds", but the ending is a callous and peaceful scene; "Ask who is unloading, a piece of sail is on the beach, tied with a sunset cable!" The ship is unloading bathed in the sunset Dropped white sails, stranded and anchored on the beach. How different this is from the image of clouds of war in the opening chapter!
This poem vividly illustrates that on one side of the land of China at that time, there were "floating clouds in the northwest" and "the blood of the Central Plains"; on the other side, there were "songs and dances in the West Lake" and "hundred years of drunkenness". If things go on like this, the Southern Song Dynasty Its demise is inevitable. Because this poem is filled with patriotic enthusiasm and has the above-mentioned artistic characteristics, it can well represent Xin's bold, generous and sad style. It has the sound of gold and stone, the spirit of wind and cloud, and is soul-stirring. shock.
5. Translation
Raise your head to the floating clouds in the northwest, and you must have a long sword to rely on the sky thousands of miles away. People say that this place can be seen late at night, with the glory of bullfights. I feel that the mountains are high, the pond is empty and the water is cold, and the moon and stars are pale. The rhinoceros is about to burn and look down, but it is afraid when leaning on the railing. The wind and thunder are angry, and the fish and dragons are miserable.
Looking up at the floating clouds in the northwest, you need a long sword to control the thousands of miles of sky. People say that in this place, you can often see the light between the bullfighting stars late at night. I felt that the mountain was high, the water in the pool was cold, the moon was bright and the stars were dim. When I lit the rhinoceros horn and went down to the water to have a look, I was scared when I got close to the railing. The wind and thunder were furious, and the fish and dragons were ferocious.
The gorge is opposite to the Cangjiang River, and when you pass the dangerous building, you want to fly but still hold back. Yuanlong is old! You might as well lie down high and curl up on the mat to cool down. The rise and fall of the ages, the sorrow and laughter of a hundred years, can be seen in a moment. I asked who was unloading the sails on the beach and tying them to the sun cable?
The high mountains on both sides restrained the East and West streams from rushing over and arousing high waves. I passed the tall building and wanted to fly away, but I gave up. I wanted to be like Chen Yuanlong, but my body and mind were old, so I might as well go high. Lying in my home, with cool wine and cool mats, as soon as I climbed up to Shuangxi Tower, I thought of the rise and fall of the ages. I thought of the joys and sorrows of my own life, which lasted only a hundred years, and I laughed and cursed. Who once again unloaded the open white sail and dropped the mooring line in the setting sun?
