Wen Tianxiang (Southern Song Dynasty)
Once the effort comes, there will be fewer stars around.
The mountains and rivers are broken and the wind is floating, and life experiences are ups and downs.
The beach of fear says fear, and there is a sigh in the ocean.
Who hasn't died since ancient times? This thorough dedication of the neuromicroscope will go down in history forever.
The hardships of my life began with a Confucian classic; After four years of hard work, since leading the rebels against the Yuan soldiers,
The great rivers and mountains of the motherland are fragmented under the enemy's aggression, just like a strong wind blowing catkins scattered;
My life experience is also ups and downs, just like duckweed under heavy rain. It is still frightening to think of the past defeat in Jiangxi and the evacuation from the beach of fear, the sinister torrent and the grim situation;
Thinking that Wulingpo was completely annihilated and trapped by the enemy last year, I can only lament my loneliness in the sea of Wang Yang.
People have been alive since ancient times. Who hasn't died?
Die for your country, die a fair death. (Let me) leave this sincere heart to shine in history!
About the author: Wen Tianxiang (1236-1283,65438+10.9), Han nationality, born in Luling, Jizhou (now Qingyuan District, Jiangxi Province), a national hero of the Southern Song Dynasty, formerly known as Sun Yun, with a good word and a good name, was a Taoist priest in Wenshan and Fuxiu. After Gong was selected, she changed her name to Tianxiang, and her handwriting improved. Baoyu changed his name to Song Rui after winning the first prize in four years (1256). Later, because he lived in Wenshan, he was named Wenshan, and there was a floating Taoist. Wen Tianxiang was handed down to future generations in the name of a loyal and righteous hero. During his capture, Yuan Shizu surrendered with a high official and generous salary. Wen Tianxiang would rather die than surrender, and go to justice calmly. His life story is praised by later generations, and he is also called "the three outstanding men in the late Song Dynasty" with Lu Xiufu and Zhang Shijie.
Appreciation: Appreciation 1
This poem in Wen Tianxiang Memorial Hall was written after Wen Tianxiang was captured. The poet recalled a sentence or two of his life, but limited by space, in his writing, he cited two things: becoming an official and losing the battle. The four sentences in the middle are closely related to "war and death", which clearly expresses the author's understanding of the current situation: the country is in turmoil, the tragedy of national subjugation is inevitable, and personal fate is even more out of the question. But in the face of this great change, the poet thought not of his personal way out and future, but of his deep regret that he failed to win militarily two years ago, thus turning the situation around. At the same time, I feel particularly sad for my isolation. Between the lines, it is not difficult to feel the great pain of the author's country's ruin and death, as well as the bleak mood of self-blame and self-sigh. The last two sentences are Wen Tianxiang's choice of his own destiny without hesitation. This adds a tragic and passionate strength and self-confidence to the previous feelings and grievances, showing a unique lofty beauty. This is not only the embodiment of the poet's personality charm, but also the unique spiritual beauty of the Chinese nation, far beyond the scope of language and writing.
