The rainy night in the whole river was very cold, and I suddenly felt the idea of joining the army. Liu Kezhuang

Liu Kezhuang

Carve a dagger on the shining armor, and remember that Yuanmen was just built that day. Grind the shield nose and wave thousands of papers, and the dragon and snake are still wet. Iron horses hiss and camp in the cold, and build ships to cross the wind and waves at night. Who is poor, the ape arm is so general and useless? Ping Rongze, join the army. Scattered, not carefully cleaned. Review the Book of Tea Classics from time to time. I am afraid that the guests will talk about elm jam and teach my children to recite "Flower Picking". I'm not as strong as a man, so why not?

There are different opinions about the writing time of this word. One is "after thirteen years in Jiading (1220) and before seventeen years (1224)" and the other is "six years less (1233)". The author agrees with the latter statement for three reasons: First, Liu Kezhuang was born in the 14th year of Xichun (1 187), and in the 17th year of Jiading, he was only 37 years old at most, which is hard to say; The comparison between the upper and lower pieces of this word has a long time span. If we say before, it will be three or four years before and after, which seems unreasonable. Second, according to the author's depressed thoughts and emotions revealed in the next film, it is in line with the reality that he abandoned his secluded life and suffered rough times after his poetic disaster in the early years of Baoqing (1225- 1227). Third, in the seventeenth year of Jiading, Jin was weak and unable to invade the south, and Song and Jin lived in peace for a time. Until six years later, Mongolia negotiated with Song to attack gold, and Song Shi marched into Henan. Only then can the author have a chance to "suddenly move to join the army." Therefore, we should regard Shao Ding's six years as.

This word can be implied by the words "looking back and sighing now". The first one is Looking Back, which vividly depicts the author's fiery life during the Jin Ling shogunate's eleven to twelve years (1218-1219). At the beginning, the three sentences of "Carving Brother Golden Armor" describe the heroic spirit of the author in his early years. It uses the inverted sentence method, so it is particularly abrupt and moving! The following three sentences, "grinding the shield and grinding the nose", mean that the screenwriter, as the aide of the Shuaifu, not only participated in military affairs and made suggestions, but also inspired the writing with a wave of his hand. The button of the shield is called "shield nose". The troops have a simple life and have no complete learning and copying. In case of emergency, they can only use the shield nose to grind ink. The "grinding shield nose" here refers to the grass in the army. "Dragon snake" is generally used to describe the vigor of calligraphy, which refers to pen and ink. The sentence "Iron Horse" shows the author's thrilling life of riding across the horse, boarding a boat for the night and confronting the enemy. Although the author is a scholar and a soldier, he is wise and brave. This reflects the different aspects of the author's military life and the whole mental outlook.

The author is deeply attached to this life. So from the beginning, I wrote layer by layer with rich feelings, and my mood was high and I was very excited. At the end of this passage, this high mood and strong pen power just reached the highest point. The life scene written in the last sentence of "Who Pities Who" has changed, so the atmosphere has turned sharply. The author was not reused, but hated by people, and even his reputation was not established, so he was deeply moved and sad. "General Ape Arm" refers to Li Guang, a famous soldier in the Han Dynasty. He is good at shooting with an ape arm. He fought against Xiongnu for more than 70 times, with outstanding achievements, but he was never blocked. In ancient times, the work was counted by the head, and Li Guang was reactive, so the cloud was "reactive level 1". The author compares himself with Li Guang here, lamenting that no one knows what happened and he is full of sadness.

The next movie is "Sighing Today", which is about the author's current actual situation. It is described in different levels in ci, which is intended to reflect the author's thoughts and feelings in an idle and boring life. "Ping Rong Ce" and "Joining the Army" are the proud works of the author in his life, and they are also precious souvenirs of his military life. Now because of the long-term abandonment, the author is very disappointed, so he no longer values these things and leaves them scattered. The Book of Tea and the Biography of Incense are books that specifically record how to make tea, taste tea, burn incense and incense, and are elegant pastimes of the leisure class. After the disaster of Jianghu poetry, the author was afraid of being slandered again, so he put this kind of book on his desk and burned incense and drank tea all day, indicating that he had no intention of asking about current politics and remained silent on state affairs. The last two sentences say, "I'm afraid the guests will say elm jam, and teach my children to recite" Flower Collection ",which further supplements this idea. "Yusai" refers to the border. In the late Southern Song Dynasty, the state affairs went wrong, and the author felt desperate, even unwilling to listen to people talking about border issues. Moreover, not only do they not say these things, but even their children are not allowed to listen to them. Just tell them to read some romantic words that have nothing to do with politics and not to care about politics. On the surface, it seems that they are afraid that their children will be politically persecuted in the future because they are worried about the people of the country like themselves. In fact, this is not the author's sincerity, but their great indignation and complaints! At the end of the two sentences, the author used the allusion of candlelight in the Spring and Autumn Period. At the age of seventy, Zheng Wengong invited him out to save the nation. At first, the candle refused: "I am not as strong as a man." Now that I am old, I can't do anything! " But in the end, I went to the city and said that I had retired from Qin Shi and saved Zheng. Connecting with the sentence of "joining the army and rising suddenly" in the inscription of this word, we can find that although the author laments the decline of the old times, he is still full of ambition to save the country and the people, hoping to make contributions to the country like a candle.

After studying this word, we can immediately find that there is a sharp contrast between the upper and lower chapters, and the author's thoughts, feelings and actions seem to be completely different. The last film is full of the heroic spirit of "Ask Changying when to set out and bind Zhu Rong" and the ambition of dying in the battlefield and being buried by Marco Polo. It is deliberately heroic and passionate, and the expression of thoughts is slightly unassuming and hearty! But the next film is to avoid slandering mountains, doing nothing, saying irony, hiding opinions and showing a negative attitude. The old spirit seems to be gone! This situation is obviously inconsistent. What is the reason? To answer this question, we need to know the author's life experience.

Liu Kezhuang embarked on his official career at the age of 23 and has been immersed in the next generation. At the age of thirty-three, he joined the Li Jue shogunate and came to the front line against gold. His life has become better, so he is full of energy and high spirits. However, he was forced to go home to live in seclusion in the name of Nanyue Temple in the second year because of his straightforward temperament, disagreement with the commander-in-chief and jealousy of his colleagues. Although the ending of this military life was not good, it left him a beautiful and deep impression. Later, he once knew Jianyang County. Soon, because of the poem "Falling Plums", he was slandered by Li Zhixiao and others, saying that "the trail is very dangerous" and he was almost arrested and imprisoned. Since then, he has been idle at home. At the time of writing this article, Shi, the right prime minister who persecuted him, was still in power. In this situation, resisting gold and saving the country can only be regarded as a dream. The only thing worth remembering is the military curtain life more than ten years ago, but this is incompatible with the present reality. Between the lines, the author compares the two and makes them stand out, of course!

As can be seen from the above, it is not the author's intention to hide his ambition and turn it into leisure, as if he had forgotten everything in the world. It's just that under the situation of anxiety and ridicule, he was forced to turn rigid into soft and anger into soft. So it can be considered that what the author said in the last film is exactly what he wanted to say; What he did was exactly what he wanted to do. But in the next film, the author's real thoughts are implied by subtle words or satires, which are against his inner meaning and he doesn't want to do. The more the author misses the former life, the stronger he is tired of and spits out about the latter life; The more heroic and exciting the former's life is, the heavier and sadder the latter's life is.
